Coaching or finding the ability to grow your brain, according to many, seems like two methods that only some need. When senior surgeon Atual Gawande finds he has hit a plateau and feels the need to receive coaching or uncovering the physical methods to grow your own brain, it can lead to very informative discussions. We will learn Dr. Gawande’s feelings about coaching, the ways in which you can truly grown your brain, and how those methods and Gawande discoveries relate to my own personal experiences
skepticism is the Brain in a Vat argument, which is very similar to the argument of the Evil Demon who controls us. In opposition to this is a philosopher by the name of Hilary Putnam, who uses language as proof for us not being brains in vats. I am going to explain to you why I think that Putnam is correct. “If you cannot be sure that you are not a brain in a vat, then you cannot rule out the possibility of all of your beliefs about the external world being false.” (Bruekner, 2004) I
the brain to remember at any given time. The best way to describe eidetic memory is using a camera as a metaphor. When a camera takes a picture, it is immediately stored in the memory card and its there until its deleted. Our brain works the same way, we will see something, and our brain will automatically take a snap-shot and will remember it. Akhter Ahsen was a theorist and a psychologist involving
Freire’s and Foer’s articles, I stopped for a second and thought, some concepts in the world that I think is planned, while some do not, to achieve certain goals is a reality. Meaning, most of the concept that people apply in any field are justified and backed up with reasons. Convention has to take place. These reasons could be set up from people who are in charge of the educational or the political system. One of these systems is demanding the public to think and act in the best interest of itself.

There are many beliefs that are thought of around the world as fact. I want to describe belief through the words of professionals, and each one has their own beliefs that others may disagree with. There are three topics that will be discussed by them including religion, luck, and belief itself, and I have a counter argument that describes why it is necessary to have strange beliefs such as religion. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins provides an argument against strange beliefs, and he uses
of things other than physical.”* To concisely describe physicalism in my words, it is the idea that we agree to everything being physical or in “flesh”. “In the philosophy of mind, dualism is the theory that the mental and the physical—or mind and body or mind and brain—are, in some sense, radically different kinds of thing.” Now to briefly describe dualism, it is the idea that emotions are entirely separate from our bodies; they are not a part of us. I believe both physicalism and dualism to be somewhat
fixing chemical differences of neurotransmitters in the brain. Every single kind of antidepressant has a result of these neurotransmitters in somewhat different ways. If depression is keeping you from doing the things you love, don’t wait to get help. Keep in my mind that it does not matter how bad your depression is, it is treatable. Most antidepressants are supposed to work by reducing the elimination of certain substances from the brain. These substances are called neurotransmitters (such as

interested in advertising. I usually pay close attention to commercials when they come on the television or the radio. I like pointing out what I do and don't like about the commercials, and whether or not I believe that they will be successful in enhancing the sales of the product or service they are advertising. I don't know much about what goes into advertising. I simply like giving my opinions. Advertising is even something I may consider getting into after college. Because of that, I wanted to find a
