Survey on Global Warming

Survey: https://www.desmogblog.com/2017/07/06/new-survey-shows-majority-americans-believe-climate-change-real-and-caused-human-activity

I chose this survey because I thought it was a relatable topic that everyone is aware of today. Reading the survey, it is interesting to see how different the government outlook on global warming is from that of the public eye. The numbers have changed drastically in that people now believe that global warming isn’t only a cause of natural changes but rather human intervention. The survey said, “over half of Americans (58%) understand that global warming is mostly human caused, the highest level since our surveys began in November 2008”. I am one of those 58% who believe humans are the greater part of what is causing global warming to accelerate. To my surprise, the survey says that “21% disagree [that Americans say that schools should teach children about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to global warming”. I am very shocked that this number is still so high when comparing the recent record of 58% of Americans are convinced global warming exists and yet there are still people who do not support that we should be educated on the topic. Personally, this survey is a good way to see how split the nation is when it comes to being aware that global warming and climate change is taking a toll on our resources as well as our planet. Looking at the comments of some people regarding the survey, I see a pattern of politics taking the decision point of many individuals. Some mention, “…it’s all about the money. The mother of all taxes…governments worldwide never have enough money to do all the things they want to do…”. From this we can observe how not only is politics taking a toll on climate change but also the fact that people are unaware of where to spend their money.

    Interesting how you took a survey that focused on a controversial issue/topic! Most of my surveys focused on fun personality tests or quizzes, but I was able to learn a lot too.

Karina Diaz Prof. Weiner WRT 205 9 July 2018 Technological intervention in the medical field. Successful or not? What we need to know. Have you ever wondered if the future does more harm than good? Many of us wonder about controversial topics like did the iPhone make us more dependent on technology or did the new vacuum robots make us less responsible and lazy. Truth is nobody completely has the answer to whether technology in our lifetime has become a burden more than it has improved the world around us. Those of us who find an interest in understanding how technology has ultimately empowered medicine must read this. Because it will not only offer an explanation of what has improved but also demonstrate how there are still uncertainties of whether or not technology is doing good or bad in the medical field. It is crucial to explore these grounds on the influence of the medical field. In recent years, medicine has become a popular candidate where technologi...

What I Eat

What I Eat I love seafood so I can't live without Tilapia Scallops for hot pot. Love the dish decoration.  The black pepper beef is one of my favorites in the teppanyaki cuisine.   All set for lunch. Seafood platter one of Taiwan's greatest dishes. Reflection: I’m going to explain what "social conscience" means to me. The word conscience makes me think of what we think others perceive us to be like and what we do and the right of wrong of our given actions. From a psychological perspective, as a psychology major, I think of the word conscious as how humans have the ability to control what they do and the actions they take unlike with our subconscious. Our subconscious is an automatic response which we cannot control. Conscience is similar to the word conscious in that we want people to like us therefore being reactive to what is said about us and shown of us. That being said when you put the word social and conscience together it must me...
