Reflection Of Science And Medicine : The Reasons Of Life

I love the sciences and find every bit of them exciting and fascinating. I understand that becoming a medical practitioner isn't just about the sciences and the chemistry behind it all, it also includes the human aspect of health sciences.  As a doctor, your "niche" in this world is to alleviate the pain of others. Having lived and grown up in Zimbabwe, I had seen suffering, I had seen pain. When I saw relatives devastatingly ill, it ached within me that I wasn’t able to do anything. Contrasted with the doctor stories I saw on the television, I was convinced that this was not how it was supposed to

These are optimistic strategies. Optimistic attitude is not just a glimpse of the present and the past, but also expected to have a wonderful future. Thirdly, we should avoid thinking too much of the comparison with society; too much thinking will keep people sad or worse, encourage negative thoughts, reduce the ability to solve problems, make people no motivation. Comparing with the upper people can lead to inferiority, distress or self-esteem; and comparing with the lower people can lead to a sense of guilt and fear of suffering the same (bad) fate. Fourthly, we can improve well-being by doing good things. Doing good is not only good for the recipient, but also for those who do good. Maybe it sounds a bit ironic, but even if you are reluctant to report, as long as you are willing to do good, willing to help others, this will make you to get more happiness. Fifthly, we can cultivate the interpersonal relationships, if you start to improve and nurture relationships from today, you will get positive emotions. In turn, a happier feeling will help you to attract higher quality relationships, which will make you happier; this is a virtuous circle. Sixthly, we should have a strategy for

Many philosophers have spent countless hours contemplating human existence and human purpose, but overall they are all analyzing one question- what is the best way to live? In almost every culture around the world, life is cherished and people have come up with religions and philosophies that suggest answers to the question concerning the best way to live. Some philosophies, such as Ayn Rand’s objectivism and Aristotle’s views on happiness, are centered around pursuing one’s own happiness and leading a fulfilling life. However, actually successfully living in the best way by pursuing one’s own happiness is quite challenging due to the complex restraints of human nature and human flaws. In order

Mankind must by this time have acquired positive beliefs as to the effects of some actions on their happiness; and the beliefs which have thus come down are the rules of morality for the multitude, and for the philosopher until he has succeeded in finding better. That philosophers might easily do this, even now, on many subjects; that the received code of ethics is by no means of divine right; and that mankind have still much to learn as to the effects of actions on general happiness, I admit or rather earnestly maintain.

This is similar to what Chris McCandless realized in Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer: “HAPPINESS [is] ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED”(Krakauer 189). I’ve used this ideology in my own life since that day, and I’ve had better experiences because I spend more time with my friends instead of being too independent. Along with this, I do my best to live by various basic principles. First of all, the golden rule: treat others how you’d like to be treated. Secondly, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

As a child, I was very quiet, observant and obedient. I would attempt to excel in everything I did in order to make my parents proud.Up until I was a teenager, I followed their will without excessively questioning their decisions. I was raised to have faith in God, go to Church and do as I was told. I spent 12 years of my life going to Church with too many unanswered questions. I didn’t know why I had to attend church, I didn’t understand how this so-called God we believed in was so powerful and why he wouldn’t make world peace possible if he was as amazing as he was perceived. None of it made sense to me. During school my favorite books to read consisted of primarily non fiction books about animals and the world in general, mythological, and books concerning the supernatural. I have always been intrigued by unexplained stories, but in the end, although I acknowledged the slight possibility of supernatural existence, I also understood the difference between facts and mere theories. During summer, my reading list consisted of fables and biblical stories. To me, everything I

Accept the situation you are in. Accept people for who they are. Accept your past mistakes. Accept your daily pressure. Accept your life.

I am a pre-medical student and my major is biological and physical sciences. My interest in science originated in medical school was for two reasons. The first reason

There’re a lot of questions with very little answers that people had and have about things that are taking place in the world. The question of why has been around for centuries. Some questions have gotten answers and other didn’t. When talking about evil, suffering and religious faith, there will always be a question in a person mind. The question of why are things hot and cold? What things go up and down, and why are people tall and short? Scientists, anthropologies, psychologies, and philosophies have all done their research on the matter of how things functions around the world. Each day, there’re more researchers being done on who, what, when, where, and how. Which bring be to my question what cause evil and suffering, and what part dose religious faith play?

Science is the knowledge gained by a systematic study, knowledge which then becomes facts or principles. In the systematic study; the first step is observation, the second step hypothesis, the third step experimentation to test the hypothesis, and lastly the conclusion whether or not the hypothesis holds true. These steps have been ingrained into every student of science, as the basic pathway to scientific discovery. This pathway holds not decision as to good or evil intention of the experiment. Though, there are always repercussions of scientific experiments. They range from the most simplistic realizations of the difference between acid and water to the principle that Earth is not the center of

The only thing that matters is the amount of happiness and unhappiness that is caused. Therefore the right actions are those that produce the highest ratio of happiness over

     I am entering the medical field; so all the science courses I have taken have led me to believe that science is the answer. However, after taking this course I have realized that science can only take their answers just so far. There are some issues that science is unable to explain, like the existence of God. This is where philosophy enters. Philosophy continues further and attempts to give us logical explanations. Although science does continue to intrigue me, I do choose to accept that science does give us some answers. We learn from experience. Growing up we test this very often. If you put your hand over a flame you figure out that it is hot and you never try to touch it again. A fire will always be hot. There is no way around it. The chemicals and such that are involved will always

The chemicals and such that are involved will always react the same way it will produce heat. This is why I like the scientific method. It takes hypothesis and tests them over and over again until they come to a consistent answer or explanation. Although science does not give all the answers through empirical explanation, I turn to Philosophy for the rest.

It is human nature to question our reality in an attempt to better understand our surroundings. Science, for me, is the devotion to better understand the world we live in, rooted in the natural and inevitable questions that all humans ask themselves. I believe that by answering the most fundamental questions, the potential technological advancements are much greater than that generated by applied engineering. Nowadays we can thank Einstein 's theory of relativity for

The nature and process of science are a collection of things, ideas, and guidelines. “The purpose of science is to learn about and understand our universe more completely” (Science works in specific ways, 3). Science works with evidence from our world. If it doesn’t come from the natural world, it isn’t science. You need to be creative and have flexible thoughts and ideas if you want to be a scientist. Science always brings up new ideas and theories and if you aren’t flexible to those ideas you can’t be a scientist. Science has been in our world for a long time. It is deep into our history and our cultures. The principals of science; are all about understanding our world using the evidence we collect. If we can’t collect evidence on something we simply cannot understand it. If we don’t understanding something about our world, science says that we can learn about it by collecting evidence (Science has principals, 4). Science is a process; it takes time. You don’t immediately come to a conclusion for your hypothesis a few minutes
