Senses

If I were to lose one of my senses I think I would pick hearing. I feel like if I were to lose one coping with a hearing loss would be the easiest. If you lose hearing you can still learn to communicate without being able to hear. Also I feel like hearing is the least effective for learning memory. I can honestly say that most of my memories are associated with smell and sight. When I meet a person I see what they look like and they will tell me their name. if I meet this person again later I will most likely recognize them but will most likely forget their name. Smell if another that would be hard to lose because I can recognize what food before even seeing it.

Memory

Memory is a very interesting and a very complex thing. I think the most important stage of memory is short-term Memory. You are constantly using short term memory whether you realize it or not. Everything that is going on around is temporally stored with in your short term memory. This happens and you may never even realize it because it may have already left your short term memory. Things leave your short term memory very quickly that is why you must have a good short term memory in order to have time to transfer the memories into your long term memory. One way to better your short term memory is to use a method called chunking. When using this method you take words that are related or sound the same and chunk them together. This method is very useful and can greatly increase your short term memory.

Teaching

I have taught people how to cook at the bar. When cooking in a restaurant you have to have patients, many things, especially steaks and chicken take a while to cook. When you get busy you have to stay calm and just do everything as fast and as smoothly as possibly while still making sure everything is cooked correctly. A lot about learning to cook though comes a lot with experience.  The more you cook something the easier it will be to cook it the next time. When it comes to steak, you have to know how to cook it the way people like it and how to tell when it is done how it is ordered. There are many ways to test a steak but I use the feeling technique. Basically, the stiffer it is the more done it is. This is also a technique that comes with experience because it takes time to learn the feel of a medium rare, medium, and a well done steak.

I hope to gain from this class to ability to understand the way people think and the reasons behind the things that people do. I hope to gain the knowledge of how to deal with the different kinds of people that I will come across in life and be able to understand the way the think and the reason that they think that way.  I hope to gain from you as a teacher the thought and enjoyment of you trying to use reverse psychology on different students in class to make them look stupid. I also think it will be fun to watch you use the power of psychology to completely change someone’s opinion on a matter by changing the way that they think. I am looking forward to this class because I have always wanted to learn about this.

Ebola

Ebola is a very deadly virus that is infecting many parts of the world. Recently in my globalization class we researched the Ebola Virus and learned a lot about the virus.

 I learned that there are five strains of the Ebola virus; only four of the five can infect humans. The other strain of this disease (the one that doesn’t affect humans) has affected and killed many primates.

I also learned that the Ebola virus has been around for a long time.  The recent Ebola virus is a mutated strain that is more easily passed from human to human. The Ebola virus is most commonly passed by the Fruit Bat. The Fruit bat can indirectly or directly infect humans. The can directly infect humans by biting them. They indirectly infect humans by infecting many animals that the humans consume. When these infected animals are consumed the humans that are consuming they can be infected.

I learned that the reason this out break started in West Africa has many factors that affect this. First of all the fruit bat that carries this disease lives in the area. Secondly the people in the area must hunt and consume wild animals to survive.

I learned a lot about the Ebola virus when we studied it in class. Above are just a few things that I learned. There are many other thing that I learned and that I have yet to learn. I think everyone should study this at least a little bit because if everyone knew what causes it maybe it will help prevent it.

 

 

 

I believe that the Ebola Virus outbreak affects the world health care in more ways than one. With this current outbreak of Ebola health care systems around the world will have to work together to stop the spreading of this disease.

Now every health care system around the world may not have the same method of treatment right away but in the end most should have the same. The reason for this is because right away and happening right now these different health care systems are working on different cures and testing them to see if they will work. That is why most will have a different method of treatment. As these different health care systems are testing their method they will have to communicate so all the other health care systems will know what works and what doesn’t. The health care systems will work together and maybe even try putting parts of different methods together to make a new method. They will work together until they find a cure and then work together to make sure everyone can get it.

 Another way that Ebola will affect the global health care is that richer countries will have to work together to help out the poorer countries.  

I believe that Ebola will affect the global health care. This example above is just one of the ways that this deadly outbreak will have an effect but I believe that there are others that we may never know about.  

 

 

 

1. How much money is spent on campaigning or just to support politics
2. It makes we wonder that if just the health care system donates billions of dollars how much other money are they receiving from bigger companies such as oil companies
3. It seems to me that most of these companies support the republicans over the democrats. I think this may be because these companies are against the democratic health care bills.
4. I think that just pharmaceuticals and heath products alone contribute close to 2.2 million dollars
5. That total contributions to politics from health care companies is nearly 260 million.
6. Honestly I think that these numbers are way to0 high and this is just one website.  For all we know the real amount could be way higher.
7. This is really cool to me I never realized how many different businesses contributed to this. There is a lot of them I wouldn’t expect.
8. The Agribusiness contributes nearly 50 million.
9. It’s crazy that these companies are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on one campaign.
10. It’s cool to see how much money some of south Dakota’s representatives have received. Like John Thune has received thousands of dollars from several companies
