Research paper topic freewrite

 I'm really not sure what topic I'm going to be writing about but it's either between research paper #4 or #5.

 I'm interested in #4 because I want to further my education majoring in psychology. If i choose this topic I will use the film Notebook. Some questions I would be considering are, the life and mind of a person who surfers memory loss. What does the movie get wrong? Are there any limitations or even biases in the film.

I'm also interested in research #5 portraying robots (or human clones) because I'm interested in how robots are  beginning to dominate our society today. I was actually speaking to my mother about robots and she had told me when she was in high school one her topics in class was robots and how there going to take over. To my mom she found it to be silly and thought it would happen years in life but she was wrong. In today's world we have robots producing cars, like what's next! A film I would be using if I choose this topic is I robot. Some questions I would be considering are what does the film version get right about the current state of research into robots? Does the film challenge our understanding of what it means  to be human?  Does the film choose humans over robots?

Eng101 Assignment #1 Brainstorming

For essay #1 in ENG101 I will be writing on Nicholas Carr's essay, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" I will be agreeing with the statement, I do believe "internet technologies are changing the human mind in unpredictable ways and are damaging our memories and attention spans". Technology has many positive influences but eventually positive influences turn negative, as a result it can harm us in the end.

 

The first draft on essay #1 is due on Monday September 26,so that means I should get started as soon as possible rather than leaving it till the night before.

Hello there bloggers, my name is stephanie Blass and this is my first year at LaGuardia Community College. My goals for the future is to become a Clinical psychologist or work with autistic children. My dream is to start an organization to help women who are troubled with my special skill in beauty and combining it with psychology. Psychology and beauty come hand to hand because once you enhance your beauty from the outside you start to act different from within. If I were to choose between science or humanities I would have to say both. Science because I love to learn about different theories people had and humanities because in philosophy you never have a definite answer so we have to take the time and think and reflect why. The difference between philosophy and psychology is in philosophy there is no definite answer but a thought can seperate into a science such as psychology where psychologist build theories. Beginning the cluster class I really didn't know what it was but now a week into it I must say its pretty interesting. I hope to learn how these subjects connect. This cluster will help me alot in my future goals and hopefully for many other bloggers.
