... When I watch the news I see a lot of Individual vs. Society, and Individual vs Self. I see a lot today about tattoos on television and how more people are more and more tattooed, and if this acceptable I personally am tattooed, so I can identify with the people who talk about this as well. I struggle with myself about the tattoos I have choose to get and where I have choose to get them. I am in a field where I can’t have them where mine are. However, I can also conceal mine with the proper clothing. In society I struggle with acceptance about the tattoos I do have and looking for work with them. I get dirty looks and sometimes you just get rude comments, because a lot of society still has no accepted that everyone is different and will live the way we want to live. For Individual vs nature while watching television there was a show where a man was letting an anaconda eat him alive. He had protective gear and he was protect and it could be stopped at any point. Even though he was attempting this to gain more research on the animal, as the snake started to eat him he had to stop because the snake was so powerful that he could feel his bones getting ready to give in. This to me is a great example about nature. I have camped my whole life however I would never go up to a random snake, because snakes can kill you and if you do not know if it is deadly or not then you are at a disadvantage. When I look at Individual vs Technology I look at how every year we come out with new computers...

...more computers grew, the company seems to have simply added the needed systems with whatever operating systems were current on the systems they purchased. The biggest implications of the operating systems in use by Huffman Trucking would be compatibility. As technology advances and older technology reaches end of life, the ability to maintain a network of computers using so many varied operating systems becomes increasingly difficult. Another implication is using so many different technologies (Windows-based vs. Novel vs. Apple) can cause problems in compatibility, rendering certain systems and software unable to do the tasks that are needed to be performed. Maintaining such an eclectic network likely requires many man-hours that would not be necessary if all of the systems were closer to current, and if they were more closely matched to each other. An example would be if the server software were more current, the desktop operating systems were all Windows XP or higher and the MAC OS were closer to current technology. Performance is also a major consideration. It is unlikely that neither the individual systems nor the network systems are operating in an efficient manner as the systems are not using more current technology. Older systems running older software will run slower and will have difficulties utilizing network...

...cinema. The scope of his film making at times cannot be put into words. For instance he is one of the pioneers of CGI (computer generated imagery), a prime example of these are his films like ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘E.T the extraterrestrial’. He made such movies at a time, when computer generated graphics were merely a source of comic relief, and looked very fake and cheap. He actually, made incredibly good use of the, at the time limited technology available to him and made it look good, realistic and appealing on screen. Spielberg has also been a pioneer in the sense that he has always looked to make unique films, i.e. topics that haven’t been tapped before and his work does not stick to any particular genre. For example his array of work includes movies like ‘Jurassic Park’, ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘War of the Worlds’, ‘E.T’, ‘Jaws’ and ‘Tintin’. So he has been exploring through various categories like Action, Science fiction, Adventure, Drama etc. Producing some movies where it is Man vs. Beast, Man vs. Nature or Man vs. Man. He makes use of a very dramatic shooting style in his films, which have also won multiple awards over the years, which reflects his phenomenal success over the years. Notably, academy awards for ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Schindlers List’ and “Indiana...

...Godzilla Analyzed The films of “Gojira” or as the people of the United States recognize them as, Godzilla; contain a similar plot line of a menacing dinosaur, disrupting the way of life for the people of Japan. These films usually hold a significant message, protesting controversial topics relative to the year it has been filmed in. The following Godzilla film’s, “Godzilla Vs. Megagurius (1998)”, “Gojira (1954)”, and “Godzilla 1985 (1984)” vividly contrast the errors mankind has bestowed upon earth. Pollution and Nuclear technology are the two main factors that connect each of these films together. Godzilla first appeared in the 1954 world release of “Gojira”, which featured Japanese and American, actors and producers for the first time. The film tells a tale of how a dinosaur that slept at the bottom of the sea, angrily awoke, and rose from the nuclear ashes of bombs made by mankind. “Gojira” was angry at man for awakening him from his slumber and polluting his home with modern technological advances and weaponry. In this film (1954), “Gojira” punishes man for his crimes against nature, by destroying all of Tokyo and the land around it. Many people perish during Gojira’s reign of terror. It was very clever of the Japanese to create an unstoppable being that terrorized humans for their mistreatment of each other and the planet that they shared. Many people would reform to change immediately, once they realized that their way of life was on the brink of destruction. The people...

...Print Media Vs Electronic Media We are living in a rapidly developing and modernized era where technology is taking charge in every walks of our life. This technology may come with many advantages and disadvantages as well. Every development is due to rapid modernization, improvement of old administration methods and the use of new technology to make things even better. However with the growing modernization human demand for knowledge is also increasing. Media serves an important role in keeping people informed about the events and innovations around the globe. This information may reach us in two forms, either through print media which is the oldest method, or the other one can be electronic media. With the improvement of electronic media during past few years and daily reports on achievements, electronic media has dominated over print media during past few years. Print media is the oldest form of Mass Media, and still not outdated. Daily about 70% of people start their day by reading newspaper, which is the oldest media around the world. Newspaper gives us information about whole world within few minutes of reading session, with a choice to skip the topics that we are not really interested about. Print Media still forms an important part of Media Industry which has been given a competition by electronic media and a new technology called e-newspaper applications. But still newspaper holds its value even today and is competing strongly with technology backed media. Basically...

...Immanence vs. Transcendence De Beauvoir uses “immanence” to describe the historic domain assigned to women: a closed-off realm where women are interior, passive, static, and immersed in themselves. “Transcendence” designates the opposing male lot: active, creative, productive, powerful, extending outward into the external universe. Every human life should permit the interplay of these two forces, immanence and transcendence, but throughout history, man has denied woman the transcendent role. In her stage-by-stage description of woman’s “situation,” de Beauvoir shows how women are forced to relinquish their existential right to transcendence and accept a circumscribed, repetitive imprisonment. There is no escape for them except through man, and even this is a dead-end. Man has projects, activities, accomplishments; woman just has man. Nature vs. Nurture De Beauvoir believes that woman’s inferiority in society is a result not of natural differences but of differences in the upbringing of man and woman. Male domination is not inherent or fated but conditioned at every stage of development. De Beauvoir says that “Man learns his power.” By the same token, woman is not born passive, mediocre, or immanent. Rather, she is socialized to believe that proper women must embody these characteristics and, subtly and not subtly, she is conditioned to believe that denying her true self is the only way to achieve happiness and gain acceptance. To bring about substantial changes in...

...a novelist, essayist, and critic. * He had strong opinions and addressed some of the major political movements of his time. * Orwell’s father was stationed in India and stayed there when George, his mom, and his sisters moved to England. Orwell and his father never had a strong connection. * Orwell composed his first poem around the age of 4, he then struggled in the years to come with getting his writing career off the ground. * Also wrote Animal Farm, a novel attacking Stalinism. * Once graduating from the university he became very interest in political matters, which led him the writing of 1984. Step 2: What is the significance of the novel’s title? Orwell originally envisioned the title to be "The Last Man in Europe." But his editor, Frederic Warburg told Orwell he should change it. Therefore it became 1984, as we know it today. But there is much speculation as to where 1984 came from. There are two ideas I learned about. 1. Orwell, in 1948, may have thought a simple, two-digit end switcheroo would be a good title. 2. Or named it after his wife’s poem, "End of the Century, 1984." What is the novel’s setting in time and place? Does setting influence characters or actions? How much time is covered in the story? * Setting Time & Place: “Airstrip One” now known as London. 1984. * The setting is the whole issue for the characters due to the fact it shows the aftermath of WWII and the impending Cold War.

...MAN V/S MACHINE: HOW TECHNOLOGY FORCES US TO CONSTANTLY REINVENT OURSELVES Changes: 4 pages double spaced excluding cover page and appendix Honor code agreement on cover page Read lili’s final email SUMMARY Despite breakthroughs in technology driven innovation and gains made business systems, both in terms of improved productivity and economic growth, there is no guarantee that all members of the society will automatically reap the benefits. The media loves to talk about these developments as these topics make compelling stories. Arguably, these developments seem to herald a positive transformation of society characterized by higher outputs per capita, but we must also be aware of the risks that these changes pose to society at large. As is expected of any major transformation, we know that there will be winners, and there will be people who come out at the losing end of the bargain. In order to fully take advantage of this change, we will have to learn to be more adaptable and embrace change so that we develop the toolkit to continuously re-invent ourselves. BACKGROUND This is a very exciting time to enter the workforce as a high-value knowledge worker. The coming decades will be witness to unprecedented levels of innovation in the way business is conducted, and most of these innovations will be powered by breakthroughs in technology. Naturally, it is expected then, that such developments will present numerous business opportunities. It is also expected that these...

The idea was to create a cyborg with animals and machines that will response in section they create it for. The cyborg they waned to create was a man-machine hybrid that would become an artifact-organism system in what is an implanted electronic device. The device was to have a bodily feedback singles that would automatically response to the wakefulness and metabolism and even the respiration, heart rate, but other as well that would be feedbacks signals. Also explain how the device work as in if its was a toilet seat that would be flush. The way the toilet seat that flush: It would have a to be flush in order to have the water flows into the ballcock and than the water would be riding on the rising tide, which would reaches to the preset level and than after that it would thus recloses the valve. This is like systems that are like homestatically being controlled. 1. Summarize the distinction from the traditional Klines & Clines definition of the cyborg vs. the one that Clark is proposing? 2. What kind of model might you have that is different than this? The other way to see the different from this as in cyborgs is like: Robocop that is half machine/human form that is base on the future of cop being bas ass.

...Sara Lee vs Dell vs JCPenney With the advance of technology and the development of society, the competition in industry is increasing intense. If there is no any innovation and just standstill for a company, it will be out of business quickly and be replaced by other competitors. Under this condition, every company wants to make wise strategy to gain profits and strength their competitiveness in the industry. Information technology plays an important role when companies develop strategy. Overview of the problems each company is facing For Sara Lee Bakery Group (SLBG), they delivered fresh-baked goods to their retailers directly. The delivery people needed to count at the retailer’s back door. But, these retailers wanted to reduce labor cost, they reduced the number of hours their back door is open. So, for SLBG, they need more trucks, more time to accommodate the limited door open time. Obviously, it will increase large amount of cost to do this. For Dell, Dell has a short delivery cycle after received customer’s order. Dell has a demand-pull value chain and it could decrease cost by not make too much computer ahead of schedule. However, HP’s local store availability and develops a number of unique features that are highly demanded by customers help HP to fight Dell for the top position successfully. For JCPenney, there was about 10% money they spend, half billion dollar goes transaction. The CEO of JCPenney thought this part of money could use to develop technology. Because...

Computers run the world! Wouldn’t you agree? Think about it, imagine going an entire twenty four hours without turning to your electronics for help, you can’t. Our generation has been spoiled with using the “easy, fast way out”. Remember that time the cashier was moving too slow when you were in a hurry, thank goodness for that self-checkout. How many times do you go to the supermarket and prefer to deal with the machine versus the nice cashier lady who greets you with a smile and small conversation? Most people in this generation prefer to deal with machines and not people and it is becoming a problem in society. Advancements in technology are doing more harm than good The problem is the advancement in technology is destroying and eliminating job opportunities for mankind. When people visit their local grocery store you can see that machines have replaced cashiers and even outperforming mankind. The rich are becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer. Robots are cheaper and they execute factory jobs better than humans. In an article from The Desert Sun, The Boston...

...Radical and incremental innovation vs. Disruptive technology -Shashank Reddy Tummala Compare and contrast the Ford and BMW approach to the future of technology in the auto industry BMW and Ford have been the pioneers in automotive industry for over 100 years. They take the annually held Le Mans race very seriously. Le Mans race tests the endurance and efficiency of these car-makers in a grueling 24 hr race. The technology used to build these cars has dripped down from racing to daily and commercial use vehicles. The use of carbon fiber to build the chassis in F-150 and i3 is an example of interdivisional cross-platform strategy. F-150 and i3 are priced lower (approx $20.000-$40,000) than critically and commercially acclaimed Tesla cars, who effectively built and produced high performing electric vehicles into the market. This is a case of incremental innovation because these changes contributed to increase efficiency and lower the cost of the product. The process to build the BMW i3’s body using clip-on and plastic parts can effectively change the manufacturing and supply chain process in the automotive industry. The industry will be more automated than it currently is. The insurance companies’ willingness to accept these changes will give BMW first-mover advantage in the industry. This is an example of disruptive technology.BMW’s vast financial resources have helped BMW to enter mid-level segment and sustain the market turbulence initially.It was able to carve-out a market...
