Scientific Advancements: Positive Changes In The 20th Century

Of course, you think that the carbohydrates and starches go on the bottom, then fruits and vegetables, dairy, meat and poultry above that and finally at the top, saturated fats. I remember being quizzed on the pyramid in elementary school as well as having a health class with Mrs. Suplizio and having an entire unit on nutrition. We did not learn about what Pollan calls "whole foods," but more about nutrients. The teachers taught us to associate pasta and cereal with carbohydrates, milk and eggs with protein, oranges with vitamin C and cookies with fat. For many of us, these associations are now automatic. As Pollan points out, "Distinctions between entities as different as beef and chicken and fish have collapsed. These three venerable foods, each representing not just a different species but an entirely different taxonomic class, are now lumped together as mere delivery systems for a single

Imagine going to the doctor’s office and as you walk in, you see the doctor smoking a cigarette! The doctor continues to check you and gives you medicine that was made in the 1900s. Most people would agree that changes in scientific knowledge is for the best, but some people just won’t allow for change. For example, some people think that the Earth is flat, notwithstanding all the evidence put against them. As scientific knowledge changes over time, society has adapted to the new knowledge for the better. For instance, we have medical knowledge. If medical knowledge didn’t change, we wouldn’t know how to make new medicine. Some people like to keep to the older ways like smoking. Once in a while, there comes someone who won’t use any medicine

Science has had a huge impact on society in the past few centuries with medicines curing disastrous diseases and the growing

During the 1950s there wasn't many discoveries, but the little discoveries there was had a big impact in the world of science. Discoveries such as the double helix were important because they helped expand the knowledge of science in more ways than just one. In 1953 Watson and Crick discovered DNA structured that was named the double helix. It wasn't a big hit at first but after the paper published in December 19, the discovery managed to beat even the climb of Mt. Everest. Another discovery during the year 1950 was that Animal Antibiotics can help boost the growth rate of the animals if fed to them. In 1951 scientist discover that a low calorie diet can help lower the chances of developing cholesterol. In 1954 Chlorpromazine was proven that it does not only treat nausea and vomiting, but it can also be used as a sedative.

Jackie Robinson once said “Life is not a spectator sport. . . . If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.” Robinson was always looking to advance not only in baseball, but in life as well. During the years 1945-1970, Americans experienced prosperity, advancements, and controversy. For example, the assassination of John F. Kennedy caused Americans to question the honesty of the government. In addition, Americans also faced massive Civil Rights movements and anti-war protests that divided the country. Some other events/people that affected this era were Martin Luther King Jr., the Space Race, and the wars in Vietnam and Korea (“Prosperity

How close is our society to the Brave New World society in scientific advancements? Today’s society is starting to get more and more technology and different ways to try to improve ways to live better. In some cases, some ideas are not as health as they should be. In Brave New World, there were many different scientific advancements from ways to free your mind, faster air travel to test tube babies to look how you want.

The 1920s was an amazing time for America’s economy, especially in science and industrial developments. Scientific ideas and developments in the 19th century brought the opportunity for American advancements that are now seen today. These new inventions and scientific processes not only sets up America for success, but also the success for other countries. After the Great War, America wanted to go back to the idea “normalcy” but really America was changing, and they didn’t even know it.

One reason why branch of taxonomy is important for future scientific knowledge is because science is able to distinguish the difference between species. Being able to do distinguish the difference between

Over the years of medical practice, I always enjoyed my role as an internist, in every level of my capacity. The broad scope of the field increased my interest and curiosity, and I feel myself more motivated and responsible for learning the art of diagnosis, evaluation and management of the patients in the most effective ways to make their lives better. This strong desire encourages me to choose the field of internal medicine as my career, with the vision to empower the ailing with knowledge and serve deprives in the community. The field of medicine demands devoted study life and endless practice to be a good clinician. The clinical evidences and guidelines are continuously changing for the betterment of patient care and to decrease the morbidity and mortality.

"This may aslo point to how more well known doctors are more succesful than unknows, as the patient is more likely to believe an awed and acomplished physician, than one unheard of in his field. It is even likely that the medicine of today still uses these methods." Setting down his quill, He leaned back in that same chair he had on the day he had tested that nervous man. It had been quite sometime since John had seen that man, even though he continued his practice at the local clinic from time to time. Still, he thanked him for allowing himself to be tested. Picking up the scraps of paper, he set them in neat piles on his desk, to be compiled into his next book on the morrow.

Healthy food now ceases to be on everyone’s menu. The food pyramid was only there for show not guidance. Unhealthy food has made it impossible to want food that are nutritious and beneficial. Now if someone eats celery they are most likely forced to instead of wanting to. To consider a change in one’s mind there will be statistics, experiences, and cold hard evidence of these foods we so call “love”.

The Food Pyramid was introduced to the United States of America as a general dietary guideline but was replaced with a more up to date and simpler logo. Its replacement was issued in 2005 and was called “MyPyramid.” MyPyramid was created to promote the 2005 USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Many say that the nutritional information given in MyPyramid is complex and hard to understand. In 2011, the USDA introduced MyPlate as simple, familiar, and easy to

If there is one thing Americans know a lot about its diets. Everything from Weight watchers to Atkins and everything in between has been promoted on televisions, in bestselling books and now advertised all over social media. Each one claiming to be the answer to weight loss, lifelong health and even making claims of reversing disease. Unfortunately even with this inundation, Americans are larger than ever. It’s confusing. Who is right, who is wrong? What can be believed? What can the average person actually attain and stick to? The government even has a say in what people should be eating. The food pyramid and more recently MyPlate have been attempts to steer people towards health. Unfortunately, they have been steering people in the wrong direction. A low fat high carbohydrate diet has been promoted extensively for many years, but it has left Americans fatter than ever So what is the answer? It surprises some and frustrates others, but a high fat, moderate protein and low carbohydrate diet is the way to go. This way of eating is commonly referred to as the ketogenic diet or keto. The ketogenic way of eating is the best diet because it promotes safe, healthy weight management including appetite control, reduces inflammation and high blood sugars, and supports brain health.

This excitement can be good, bad or in some cases, misleading. The medical field has vastly made its way into a huge money pit of enduring “technological advances”. But, the advances are sometimes not always what they seem to be. Looking ahead, the questions we need to ask ourselves would be: are we getting to excited too quickly when it comes to the amount of anticipation we have about the advances in the medical field? Is there a chance we look for the potential of these “revenge effects” with it all? While trying to discover an answer to these questions, I feel as though people need to take a step back and realize that we will never know right now, what these advances will do for us in the near future whether its change us negatively or positively. Harmful or safe, watchfulness should always be done when it comes to medical technology. Thankfully, the knowledge and skills used with the equipment, has and will continue to save millions and millions of lives now and in the future. The diagnosis of new vaccines and miracle drugs has increased the existence of this population by about twenty years.
