My interest in psychology did not spark naturally as a freshman undergraduate whose major was initially aerospace engineering. My curiosity for the mechanics of aircraft and its developments. I vividly imagined dissembling into individual components as a challenge to put them back together. In fact, my dream was to transform how aircrafts are created to prevent mechanical failures and ultimately save lives. My love for machinery eventually led me down to the road of psychology. Analogously, humans are complex machines where psychology is a way to decipher and understand the mechanical processes of the human mind.
My introduction to psychology had captivated much curiosity about the mind and how it works. I ponder about various aspects of the mind given the ways people conceptualize thoughts that affect the core feelings and emotions, and ultimately impacting their behaviors to make choices. People are free agents whose complexity poses many challenges to understand completely. Like mechanical gears with various moving parts including genetics, cultures, sexual orientation, traumas, values, family upbringing, and how all together influence their cognitive processes, the mind is influenced by both nature and nurture.
From something that started as a raw curiosity, it has turned my passion to empathy for others. My interests in helping people had led me to my very first undergraduate internship, working with a diverse group of foster adolescents who presented with
I have been able to see the joy on a child’s face when they finally make a shot, the joy on their face when they learn how and when to cross the street, and the joy on their face when they realize that they have the potential to be anything they want to be in life. Being able to watch this all happen has allowed me to realize that I want to see these kinds of amazing reactions every day for the rest of my life. On top of this, I want to be the one to allow them to have this reaction. To me, it is the best feeling in the world when I know that I have helped someone do something they felt they couldn’t do before. This being said, my volunteer work has persuaded me into the direction of the medical field. I feel this has happened because the medical field gives me an enormous variety of ways to impact lives
In this approach we see the theories of psychology that see the human mind function based upon the interaction of forces and drives within the mind, normally this means unconscious thoughts, but it also includes looking at the different structures of the personality.
Two decades and many existential crises later, one single aspect of my life has pulled me through: that passion I experienced as a child. I have questioned the source of this motivation more than once, and have sought out to put myself in all possible situations that would predict how I would feel later in my life as a doctor to make sure this passion was not mere infatuation.
As studied in the science of psychology, the human being’s mental state is a mixture of our genetic makeup and the environment that shapes up. When a person is born, they come into the world with existing traits and characteristics that they inherit from their parents. Then, over time, they grow into an environment that shapes who they become, personality, for example, is already existing but through imitation and conditioning it is molded into a different version of itself. The mind, for instance, is a product of both factors in the way that our genes are the mold, our environment is the potter, and our mind is the pottery. This article revises just that; the effects that external influences play in our mental and physical health.
The nature vs nurture debate is one of the most enduring in the field of psychology.How far are human behaviors, ideas, and feelings, INNATE and how far are they all LEARNED?These issues are at the
What I am trying to demonstrate in my paper is that airplanes have played such a vital role in our society and culture it has granted us so many of our needs and wants whether it be travelling, eating a certain food, and also one of the major issues is keeping our country safe with warplanes. Why I believe airplanes is such a crucial area to study is because I believe people take for granted everything they have in life. Most of everything they have has been transported by airplanes and is now in the hands of the buyer. it has also allowed family, and friends to see each other faster compared driving, travelling by train, or boat.
First of all, I felt like I am learning science in psychology class, this week. I have never heard about Neuroplasticity and brain plasticity. I was surprise that our brain is able to learn new materials if the other half is not working properly. That is why our body is called, the mystique, I think. I was also surprise, psychology is also one part of our body! Before to take this course, I thought psychology would be just about one type of methods how people communicate in order to survive in their society. It was great to learn more about psychology in science
At some point in our lives, we have faced a problem or a series of problems. It seems as if there was no end to these problems that we faced and that there was no solution that was applicable. The problems we face are nothing but rudiments in life that will help us graduate to another rudiment that our mind must process and solve. Our minds are complex machines that are interconnected by different logical and emotional processors that helps us make decisions for our greater good or towards a common goal. The human mind is something that is created by God who made us; our very thought process is made in His image. Our minds are capable of receiving, interpreting, and reorganizing information for efficiency on an as needed basis. The mind is a resilient muscle that is able to face rudiments which we call problems.
The world today requires multiple ways of transport, especially over the Atlantic Ocean. During and before the 1900’s, transatlantic travels were very common and are mainly carried out via boats. However, due to the revolutionary change by the Wright brothers, in 1903, the creation of the propeller planes made shorter travel time between one country to another possible. As technology develops, the transportation of cargo and passengers via airplanes became easier and more efficient with the replacement of jet engines in July 16, 1949, by the famous inventor Frank Whittle (FindtheData, n.d.). The principles behind how a jet-engine powered aircraft works associate with many laws of physics, from Newton’s Law of Inertia to the Third Law of
Like any job out there aerospace engineering has more than one type of formal writing that must be completed. Aerospace engineering deals with writing reports and information request. Report writing is important in aerospace engineering because an engineer must report on the progress made so they can remember their work. Here is what the Manual for technical report writing has to say on the content of a report, “A technical report generally contains a clear outline of the problem, mathematical equations, drawings, charts, tables and graphs”(2). Reports are important in the aerospace field because when a new advancement in technology is found other engineers need to know the type of advancement to make their work easier. This goes into the next part of writing in aerospace engineering, that being information request. Here is what Marco Aurisicchio has to say about information request, “During Product Development, engineering designers raise several information request that make them search through human and documentary sources. This paper reports to characterize, in detail these request for designers working in a major aerospace engineering company” (Aurisicchio, 1). Information request are important because one engineer will not know absolutely everything about airplanes; so in order for them to get valuable information they will need to request it from another engineer. This information can range from test results all the way to supplie list used for the actual building
All you need to know about the role physics plays in the flight of an aircraft.
When we view the philosophy of mind we encounter many problems, the main being that although there are many theories on this topic it is impossible to prove any of them and thus this problem is still unresolved. How is it that we can understand more about the universe and science than ever before but do not understand what it is that enables us to understand, that is the mind? To answer this rather complicated problem there are many solutions, or theories, each with their good points but none which are totally convincing, though some seem more though than others. These theories are Dualism, the belief that mind and matter are different substances, behaviourism, the belief that for every mental state you can observe a behaviour,
“Flying Airplane’’ was a famous work of art that was created by an incredibly genious artist who was named Kazimir Malevich.Kazimir Malevich painted many pieces of art. ‘’Flying Airplane” was a piece like many other works of arts that were a part of Malevich’s many suprematism compositions. This painting was one of Malevich’s very famous works of arts that represented many things to him, and held sentimental value due to the fact that it held many meanings.
A pilot is someone who is certified to operate aircraft in order to transport goods and/or passengers from one location to the next, for leisure, business and commercial purposes. Pilots can be employed by the government, corporations, commercial airlines, and can sometimes be self-employed. Aircraft are usually operated by two pilots, who will take turns in controlling the aircraft to avoid fatigue. Pilots are very essential to the function of the field in aviation.
Early design aircrafts were manufactured from many materials with poor properties that would develop problems in the aircraft’s life and performance. In early aircrafts, such as the Wright Flyer, were constructed from Stika spruce, which is a natural type of fibrous composite material. This material gave the aircraft many issues, one of them being fungal rot which then imposing a change in the design of aircraft material. This then brought the introduction of other alternate materials; such as aluminium, which was a boost in aircraft performance and operational life. As the evolvement of the aerospace industry reaches the 1970s, the use of composite materials has increased rapidly. By this time, other materials were introduced to the development of an efficient aircraft such as steel and titanium.
