Where are we going to in zee Research paper!

Howdy! There is a lot of research going on in the area of borderline personality disorder. Which is lucky for me because that is the case of  the character in which my paper is framed around as well as the real life person. My prior knowledge on the subject has helped me hone in on what to focus on as I sift through all the articles. I do believe I'm well on my way to having a good paper written. I just need to focus on what I'm doing and get everything organized, whereas right now everything seems to be all scattered when I can finally assert as to how I want to use my research I should be able to pull this off. Yup.....=P

CT Blog post 2 eng101

So many people are so excited about new technologies that are coming forth. Though, I do not think some of them know what the reality of what they excited about really entails. Especially in development of robotics there are many intriguing things to that are being seen and yet to be witnessed. However, what does this all mean? Various scientist strive to achieve simulation of human behaviors, feelings, and even conciouness in machines. But, I think we have to evaluate what it really means to be human, furhtermore conciousness before we can even go so far. And it seems that the jury is s till out on the subject. Gelernter a scientist is very expressive on the future of robotics, "No computer will be able to think like a man uneless it can hallucinate" (202). Gelernter here gives us some basic standards as to what certain aspects exhibit human conciousness, and that is it only through these certain aspects can we wcome to accept that perhaps a computer is has "conciousness". Perhaps in light of these certain attributes if it is even possible it will take a vast majority of time before we can even have anything such as "strong AI". For instance many of the robotics scientist are creating simulate some human behavior such as waseda and even have problem solving abilities such as big dog, but who is to say that these are any prelimnaires to stong AI. After all they seem to only mimic a certain humans aspects, how can we conclude that they are even close to understanding how they do the things they do or why they do them. Is that not just it? That they merely preform on series of algoritims structured from some logic computations. Have they ever sat back and said "heh I wonder why this particular thing makes me angry.." or "Why am I even figuring out how to get through this obstacle?" Probably not, because we can deduce that the creators of these robots have practically all insight in their inner workings. Therefore, yes it is probably unlikely that strong AI may ever come to be realized, if at all it will take an extremely long time before it can be achieved.

Sample Research Paper

While I strive for perfection in writing my papers. It is apparent that we do not need to have everything very prim and proper. I suppose this alright, however, I do not know if I agree with it.This person did do some things alright. She got a lot of sources and had some good ideas that were illustrated to the best of her ability; as we all try to do. Though, it was good to see another persons writing style and how they attempted to convey a ceratin idea. As well as, how they utilized these sources in there paper to argue their thesis. To be honest we all could use some work! =P

SOURCE g.g

If you want specifics on your mental disorder, that is if you are doing your paper on that. I believe that gale is a good source. I found this AWESOME scholary article "Borderline Personality Disorder  Ed. Laurie J. Fundukian and Jeffrey Wilson. Vol. 1. 2nd"  that was on there when I searched it. The article gave a lot of information on my topic including elaboration on what the symptoms are how they come about etc. Obiviously enough the info in this article will go in paragraph three, since I will be using this to give an imfortative elaboration on what the disorder really consists of. Being, the behaviors, symptoms, you know the whole shabang! So yuppers. This is going to be interesting.  

Critical Thinking Blog Assignment # 1

Technology is always evolving to greater and better things. People develop their own theories on where technology is taking us. As for me I am rather skeptic about our technology development, if will be as good as some forsee, or the apcolypse of humanity. If you take a look around us, with every development there are pros and cons that arise with them. What we should weigh are whether the pros out way the cons by good merit. Though, I suppose in some way I am a pesstimistc cause it seems as time goes on we seem to loose a little bit of ourselves to those technologys. Therefore, I do not know if there will be conciousness in furture robotics. With an ongoing debate on what conciousness really is I am not sure if that is what can be realized through machines. If we cannot realize it within ourselves I think we are reaching for the stars by trying to achieve it with machines.

THESIS!!!!! ARGGHH! >=]

Developing research is beginning to show compelling evidence for how different components such as biological factors as well as enviornmental stressors accelerate borderline personality disorder, as Patty Jenkin's "Monster" portrays and other scholary sourcers convey.


(I feel it's a little shaky though so constructive criticism is appreciated! =| )

Uhh Research?

I'm liking the idea of doing "Monster" as the flim I've choose for my topic. I'm waiting Sojin to hopefully lend me the copy! ( I promise I'll take good care of it =] ) I know I want to research a lot of how the biological aspect that has been recently introduced that in research can be the roots for our behavior and just in general who we are ....personality types and such.... As well the intense factors that come from our   environment cause we do interact with what is around us. I defintely need to locate that CNN broadcast about how this certain part of the brain can depict whether we have the tendencies to be a perhaps mass murderer versus a productive memeber of society. As much as these things may be dry the facts are interesting I think to help us know who we are and what we are....yup >.> any thoughts ? *twidles tumbs*
