Prompt 2. The final chapter (“Conclusion”) of How We Got to Now tells the story of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage and calls them “time travelers.” Explain what author Steven Johnson means by a time traveler and identify why Lovelace and Babbage were able to think and work so innovatively and creatively. Using an example from a different chapter in the book, explain how different innovators had to learn about and work across several fields of study to successfully do their work. Then, describe how the combination of a major, minor, and general education and other experiences such as study abroad or internships can help you develop the kind of creativity and insight that these innovators did.

In Crystal Eastman’s Now We Can Begin, Eastman was successfully able to orchestrate the issues facing women by conveying the significance of social, political, and economical change after women gained the right to vote. Her work was so well written in the 1920’s that it is still applicable today, long after women have gained the right to vote. Additionally, Eastman used ethos, pathos, and logos to motivate and persuade the reader. By the tone and communication of her words, Eastman was able to paint an intricate picture of the issues that women faced in the 1920’s and made the reader feel involved and called to action.

“Hello mother, father, this is your Louie talking. This will be the first time in two years that you’ve heard my voice. I am now interned at a Tokyo prisoner of war camp and I’m being treated as well as can be expected under wartime conditions.” As a viewer we can see the look of pure disgust and longing upon Louie’s face. It was evident that he wasn’t eager to read what was prepared for him as it depicted a false perception of what his wartime conditions were truly like. The fact that he had to make it seem like he was well when in fact he was anything but. I am now able to understand that what those in society often herd about their captured soldiers was quite often incorrect. The enemy wanted to portray an image that hid the true conditions and circumstances the American soldiers were subject to. I not only found this film inspiring as it showed the resilience American soldiers had whilst confined in the prisoner of war camps but also found it interesting as it showed the truths of war so vividly in way that could never be achieved through the use of written words. As a result of this film I am able to see how much we owe these men for our freedom, we were never truly able to appreciate the sacrifice made by those men and women until viewing this incredible film. They went through so much to ensure the freedom of many generations to come and if it wasn’t for these men who knows what our lives would be like today.

The two historical documents, Narrative of Lavinia Bell written by an anonymous author in the Montreal Gazette and the Letter to an English Abolitionist by James Henry Hammond, shared their strong opinions on the important issue of slavery. These documents were written in the 1800’s during an era of progressive changes. One can identify similarities and many differences in their opinions, motives, and goals for their writings. I believe Bell’s account was written to show the perspective of slaves’ brutal view, compared to Hammond’s letter justifying slavery and the rights of the slaveholders.
All of us have formed habits in our daily life. Even though some of these habits only exist in our subconscious and we cannot actually make sure whether they are real or only the conjectures. But it is undoubted that all of our behaviors are influenced by our desires on specific objectives. In the book, the power of habit, Charles Duhigg explained the definition of a habit as an effort-saving instinct. “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making” (20). To support his opinions on habits, he introduced the three-step model of a habit loop, the theory of golden rule of habit, and the role of a craving brain and belief in the process of a habit changing.

The book As We Are Now, written by May Sarton, targets those concerned with the care of elderly individuals in nursing homes. In the book, Sarton artistically highlights the plethora of ongoing issues social workers face in their work as they attempt to provide quality care to the elderly population. The book is written as the memoirs of a very thoughtful elderly woman, Caroline Spenser, as she spent part of her life in a nursing home; and brings to light the lack of quality of care that elderly individuals received when living in such a facility in the 1970’s.
Now for why I write. I rarely write for fun, which probably should change for the better, but that is not unlike many. I write, when I have to write for school or any other academic activity. Writing interest for these assignments only goes as deep as the material or topic. If the topic is interesting I will be much more excited to write about it. With that being said, my least favorite part of writing is the writer's block that comes with a boring topic, really it is the bane of my writing. Now on to the actual writing. For me, free writing is hard to accomplish, I need directive. Book reports and detailed essays with directions are my favorite things to write because they give a good starting point for the beginning of the writing process.

A person’s life is a journey filled with bumps, detours and dead-ends while the route is shaped by the people, places and experiences that litter the path. It does not matter if a person graces your life for a moment or for a lifetime, each one helps guide our destination by helping define who we are and who we will become. These relationships bring us the many tools that we will need along the way. My parents and friends have given me great roadside assistance by teaching many ethical principles. Because of them, honesty and acceptance are two core values of mine that will be tremendous assets in a future business career.

The Self Every situation that an individual is exposed to throughout life, helps mold our “self.” As humans we have the ability to see ourselves from the outside, and all through life we try to see what others see and our “self” revolves around the generalized other. We observe how others perceive us and we make conclusions depending on our observations. How we act around others depends on the image we feel they have towards us.
