Unraveling Déjà Vu
Because of scientists, humanity took a few strides towards answering some mysteries in the world, but it also came up with new mysteries. We are curious beings, always demanding for answers to the things we do not know so we try to see the potential of our curiosity by challenging ourselves with questions. On the other hand, discovering something is not just about advancement but to understand something deeply which will gradually grow into insight. With the desire to see what this world can offer, discoverers are born.
As a curious person, I want to unravel many things, but déjà vu is the one that piqued my interest the most because it often occurs to me and to the people I know. I am also bothered because there are explanations that déjà vu is a part of reincarnation.

There’s this occurring sensation which feels like something already happened. Whenever we meet new people, we feel a strange connection with them. There’s this person who I often see in school, his face is oddly familiar so there’s something bothering me that I have known him before. It is as if a connection has been established but I cannot point it out exactly. There’s this another experience where I went to my cousin’s funeral. I looked at the landscape of the cemetery and it was déjà vu. I was just standing there stunned for a mere second. During that time, my mind was fogged and it’s like two worlds collided and time stopped.
Through years, scientists and psychologists develop cognitive tests to challenge the human brain because it is the most complex organ in our body. It can even make us feel deja vu. For the most intriguing part, déjà vu is being shrugged because it is just thought of as a ‘mere sensation’. Déjà vu may be more than that for some people experience déjà vu and they have a feeling that their brain is letting them see their
Knowledge, the key to progress, has proven to be a human being’s most powerful and significant weapon. We gain knowledge when we put our brain to work at the problems we need to solve in life. It doesn’t matter what we are trying to accomplish, whether it be creating a new technology or learning how to put together a puzzle, the matter of fact is that both request great examination and research to resolve and learn. Scientific research is a technique used to investigate phenomena, correct previous understanding, and acquire new knowledge. Knowledge could lead us to a possible cure for cancer, an alternative for fossil fuels, and the creation of a revolutionary technology. Nevertheless, all these benefits are a reason why
It is said that there are many different versions to a story. There is one persons story, then there is an other person’s story, and then, there is the truth. “Our memories change each time they are recalled. What we recall is only a facsimile of things gone by.” Dobrin, Arthur. "Your Memory Isn't What You Think It Is." (online magazine). Psychology Today. July 16, 2013. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/am-i-right/201307/your-memory-isnt-what-you-think-it-is. Every time a story is told, it changes. From Disney movies to books, to what we tell our friends and colleagues. Sometimes the different sides to the story challenge the
Sigmund Freud coined this term when trying to explain something strangely familiar yet unfamiliar. It speaks to seeing or experiencing new but also takes us back to our own psychological past or something within the material world. It is suddenly recognizing something that seems unfamiliar and in fact, has an identity
Domination and slavery were over in Mexico. Mexico was liberated from Spaniards, but the descendants of Spain had a higher power and the Indians and Mexicans had fewer rights and power. Those that govern were the Mestizos. Although Mexicans were already free, the Spaniards left them with nothing and poor. Spaniards took everything; their lives, money, traditions, and most important their dignity. Mexico was left with a lot of territories. Mexico owned what is all of Mexico nowadays and some of the states of the United States. Given the circumstances, United States was also expanding territory at that time and was in the processing of spreading more. Clearly, the governance of Spain and United States have similarities and differences on the

Often times we find ourselves thinking about the past only to try to force the memories away and return to our current delusion. We can never erase the past, but if the past is who we are, then should we just welcome pain back into our lives? Embarrassment, guilt, and pride betray us as we choose to bury our darkest memories in our head and look to a positive future without ever having to readdress them and acknowledge that they had ever happened in the first place. Thinking back now my weakest moment caught me by complete surprise.
The legal options for an undocumented immigrant to come into the United States is to a) apply for a green card, b) have a temporary visa, c) apply for the visa waiver program, or d) apply for immigration benefits. Without completing one of these you risk the chance of not being able to enter the US, or being able to get a green card ever. The over complicated, patchy, and incongruous government procedure does not properly serve those trying to legally immigrate into the United States. No matter how miserable you perceive your life to be living in the United States, every year millions of people are repeatedly going through this gruesome systems just to become a US citizen.
Can Discovery truly allows us to view life in a new and fresh way? Due to the complex and abstract nature of the concept of discovery, a true sense of discovery harbour's the ability to incite individuals in many differentiating ways as it can be provoked through their different past experiences. The concept of discovery has evidently evoked curiosity and inquisitiveness through the protagonists of both the indigenous play “Rainbows end” composed by Jane Harrison, and also through the novel “The fault in our stars” authored by John Green.
Memory does not work like a video camera, smoothly recording every detail. Instead, memory is more of a constructive process. We remember the details that we find most important and relevant. Due to the reconstructive nature of memory, the assimilation of old and new information has the ability to cause vulnerable memories to become distorted. This is also known as the misinformation effect (Loftus, 1997). It is not uncommon for individuals to fill in memory gaps with what they assume they must have experienced. We not only distort memories for events that we have observed, but, we may also have false memories for events that never occurred at all. False memories are “often created by combing actual memories with suggestions received from

The earliest experience society has with authority and leadership is within their own family. Often times the running of households is compared to the running of one’s country in the sense of each individual’s self reliance, hard work, and personal responsibility. The driving force behind political differences and beliefs can be dictated back to the way one was brought up. The question of how people can analyze the same issue and draw polar opposite conclusions is often the basis for all theories and methods researchers have proposed. The unbridgeable divide between the Republican and Democratic parties in the recent presidential election support the hypothesis of hidden assumptions and frames that dictate how every individual thinks about politics, all being shaped by personal values. The metaphor of America being one big family is drawn into the fact that many consider families to be governing bodies and governing bodies to play the role of parents within a household, thus drawing the conclusion that governing institutions are families in the greater scheme of things. Researchers have discovered two main family dynamic
False memories have been the subject of many studies since Deese (1959) investigated their effects.
The idea of dreams telling the future is still hard to accept for some, but to others it is completely undeniable. Recent surveys have shown that “déjà vu is encountered more often than any of the other so-called mystical or paranormal experiences that have been studied” (Funkhouser). Happenings such as these have only been talked about recently not because they haven’t been around for long, but because society is finally starting to accept the idea that precognition can really exist. In a review of precognition in 1997, Barbara Brennan came to the conclusion that “it appears that there are really far more instances of precognition than is commonly realized. So many, in fact, that the phenomenon may be almost universal. The reason we are largely unaware of this is that most precognition occurs in dreams” (Funkhouser). It is not something that just happens to a select few, it is something that has occurred within all age groups, races and genders for centuries.
Humanity’s interest in unknown world has been universal and enduring. Accompany with human development, discovery the unknown world has become more and more important to human life. Some people think discovery is a good thing. They will tell you how X-ray used by medical professionals to help diagnose and treat a wide range of medical problems. They will also tell you what a mass your life will be if Benjamin Franklin did not discovered electricity. But other argue people think discovery bring disaster to human. They will tell you if Martin Heinrich Klaproth did not discover uranium, maybe atomic bomb would not been invented. Although the question about whether discovery always a good thing has so many
We live in a strange and puzzling world. Despite the exponential growth of knowledge in the past century, we are faced by a baffling multitude of conflicting ideas. The mass of conflicting ideas causes the replacement of knowledge, as one that was previously believed to be true gets replace by new idea. This is accelerated by the rapid development of technology to allow new investigations into knowledge within the areas of human and natural sciences. Knowledge in the human sciences has been replaced for decades as new discoveries by the increased study of humans, and travel has caused the discarding of a vast array of theories. The development of
