Article Review on Inside the Wrong Body

outer world and our inner life we experience as well as the value of a shared and considered

For centuries philosophers have engaged themselves into conversations and arguments trying to figure out the nature of a human person; this has lead to various theories and speculation about the nature of the human mind and body. The question they are tying to answer is whether a human being is made of only the physical, body and brain, or both the physical or the mental, mind. In this paper I will focus on the mind-body Identity Theory to illustrate that it provides a suitable explanation for the mind and body interaction.

Since the vocabulary of the popular source is so simplistic, it caters to a more general audience and allows them to grasp the more important aspects of the Baker and Algorta article that was summarized. As the reader is allowed to gain this knowledge, there is a broadening of information that effects the general population. Since the general public is able to grasp this information, it makes it more accessible to those that would not normally come across scholarly articles that alienate those who are not researchers or students. While the article has simplistic language and makes the information more accessible, there are disadvantages. The article lacks citation which makes the information that the public is able to receive less credible. Since the information is less credible, it makes the information that the public receives more easily misconstrued. Alongside the lack of credibility, there is too much general information. The information that the public receives lacks a large amount of context that allows readers to gather more detailed and nuanced information that coexists with the research provided. Due to the nature of a popular source, less background knowledge of the subject is required; however, there is more opportunity for wrong information, for it is brief and can often be

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

His writing is effective and is intended to influence and inform people, and it is written in a way that is impressive but is not honest. The major problem with this article is he does not mention other possible problems that could cause his brain problem. For instance, he could have made the statement that some may argue that as we get older our brain has a harder time staying focused, however, from my research I have found that high internet usage is actually causing this problem. If he would of made a similar argument I would have been able to see both sides and initially form my own opinion. Furthermore, after analyzing his word use there are a variety of neutral words, such as changing helping, calm, etc., so he does not come out overly

Hurley’s article didn’t present a compelling argument to Morales-Quezada experiment of sending electrical currents to the brain. The author’s tone of the article was too informal and laid back, it seems as if he was having an underlying conversation regarding a serious matter. The author’s word choice wasn’t clear and the language used wasn’t as professional as it should be. Hurley made countless grammar errors in few of the passages and needed to provide more information about the exact procedures of

However this article could have been perceived better if it had an intended audience other than the general public. She had enough evidence to support her claim and enough to say that it could have easily been made into a formal essay with a better, more educated audience offhand that might have taken her more seriously. While it is necessary to get information out there to everyone, perhaps the more educated population could have done more with this type of article.

The article “Jumper Cables for the Mind”, written by Dan Hurley, concerns a solution to improving the human mind by sending small amounts of electrical currents to the brain. Hurley’s article didn’t present a compelling argument to Morales-Quezada experiment of sending electrical currents to the brain. The author didn’t apply enough logic on how the experiment would include sending small amounts of energy to the brain; the treatment would activate the brain cells and enhance brain performance. He could have listed more ways on how electrical voltage can develop long term memory, help improve focus, and other functions of the brain. The author’s tone for the article was too informal and laid back, it seems as if he was having an underlying conversation

The article was well written and organized thought. However it did had a bit of deficiencies. Although the usage of personal experience and opinions are existing but she also used a lot of rhetorical strategies. This overreliance made the argument and the tone sound little bit emotional. The introduction of

Thesis: The mind-body problem arises because of the lack of evidence when looking for a specific explanation of the interaction of mental and physical states, and the origin and even existence of them.

The abstract provides a nice summary of the article including the purpose, method, results and conclusion of the study. There is no real sense of urgency portrayed in the abstract because the authors fail to explain what the problem is that the study is aimed at researching. The authors do include the applicability of their

It can be very difficult to find a universal proposal that offers a solution to the mind body problem. While solutions to this problem differ greatly, all attempt to answer questions such as: What makes a mental state mental? What is the fundamental nature of the mental? Or more specifically speaking, what makes a thought a thought? Or what makes a pain a pain? In an attempt to answer these questions, many philosophers over the centuries have rejected, proposed, or altered preexisting theories in order to keep up with the thinking and science of their times. Entering the 21st century their still exit a plethora of theories, some stronger than others, which include Cartesian dualism, physicalism,

The mind and body problem is a conundrum that argues the explanation of how mental

From the dawn of time, the primitive beings that wandered the face of this earth have always been fascinated and curious about the perplexing human body. They have pondered upon the mysteries that lie dormant within the vessel and the potential of what it could do. Even today, after millions of years have passed, anatomists still have yet to explore the human body completely and uncover all its complexity. Along with the advancement of our knowledge in terms of anatomy and physiology, the concept of health has also evolved. In fact, the human body and health go together like peanut butter and jelly; you cannot have one without the other. Unlike the approved definition used in the past, health is much more than the “absence of disease” and having a fit body. This paper will present you my rendition of the definition of health and my personal reflections on the health-related readings presented in this course so far.
