Environmental consciousness

Over many years, scientists and philosophers have asked the question: is there any difference in the mind and the brain? These genius minds have searched without sleep trying to figure out this question, but, the puzzles behind our consciousness remain unsolved and unreachable. Philosophers such as Peter Carruthers argue that the mind is the brain and that objections like those made by, philosopher, Frank Jackson, are based on a “conflation of know-how with knowing-that. Again, we are left with the

“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.” –Aldous Huxley In order to understand how consciousness can be changed, we first had to learn what consciousness is and ‘where’ it resides, if anywhere specific. For instance, some theories state consciousness resides within the visual hierarchy system, while others pinpoint its location to a specific brain structure known as the claustrum. Even still, researchers debate on whether consciousness, or the state

Contemporary art is the art created in the present time. Today, artists affected by the social context and personal experiences reproduce pieces of art that question or make a point about controversial issues in our society. A great example is the painting created in 2006 called Great Detonators (“Grandes Detonadores”) by the Mexican artist Acamonchi. The painting is located in the exhibition The Very large Array: San Diego/ Tijuana Artist in the Peter C. Farrell Gallery inside the Museum of Contemporary

The unconscious is an aspect of the human psyche that still baffles psychologist today. In our unconscious, we potentially contain repressed memories, desires, and behaviors. The individual unconsciously executes many of the behaviors or desires. However, there is more to the unconscious than our personal memories and behaviors. Carl G. Jung, a psychologist, was one of Freud’s friends and student. Jung diverged from Freud because his perception that the unconscious mainly contains repressed memories

As our knowledge of living things increases, as we come to a deeper understanding of their life cycles, their interactions with other organisms, and the manifold ways in which they adjust to the environment, we become more fully aware of how each of them is carrying out its biological functions according to the laws of its species-specific nature. But besides this, our increasing knowledge and understanding also develop in us a sharpened awareness of the uniqueness of each individual organism. Scientists

worked on environmental issues, but I immediately realized that it would not be the last. The problems my land was going through in those years awakened an interest in these topics in me, which rapidly became a passion. Therefore, at first I was focused on the illegal trafficking of waste, but, step by step, I deepened and widened my horizons, concentrating on other environmental issues, such as climate change, and pollution. In the past few years, I also understood the huge impact environmental journalism

4. Is it possible for a Machine to ‘’think’’? To be ‘’conscious’’? To ‘’understand’’? Explain with reference to your readings in the Philosophy of Mind module. The problem of thought associated with a machine raises ethical issues on a scientific perspective. So, how can we engage and act to develop the systems necessary for a peaceful life for human beings and especially in order not to be responsible for a collapse of humanism by wrapping in an autonomous and dense monitoring system throughout

contend need not be sub categories of, or allocated to the definition of consciousness and, unlike the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness which we will come to shortly, they can be explained by science in a physical context and therefore be impersonated by machinery. They have physical qualities which are an important distinction in the 3 concept of Artificial Intelligence which claims the ability of machines to achieve consciousness, arising in theory out of intelligence. The most prominent example of

support traverse a pathway from the narcissistic, undifferentiated magical consciousness of the newborn to the fully mature, inclusive, and multidimensional spiritual consciousness of the wise elder. The lower, more narcissistic, orders of consciousness are perfectly normal for young children, but become sociopathic in adults and are easily encouraged and manipulated by advertisers and demagogues. The higher orders of consciousness are a necessary foundation of mature democracy. Perhaps Empire's greatest

“free won’t.” B. F. Skinner demanded that free will is kind of an illusion and it may not be totally wrong to think that. Our astonishingly sophisticated brains are made up of numerous synergic systems firing information and generating our ideas, consciousness, decisions and acts. It may even be responsible of making us think that we have a free will. Certain stimuli can interfere with the firing ways of synapses and have an effect on our learning, thus behavior. Moreover, behavior caused by
