Connection 1 Consciousness
Consciousness refers to our subjective awareness of ourselves and our environment. As the textbook discusses, consciousness allows us to experience sensations, thoughts, and feelings (Spielman et al., 2022). The TED talks also explored theories about the purpose and origins of consciousness. For example, Antonio Damasio proposed that consciousness emerged to direct attention to important stimuli and plan future actions.
I believe consciousness serves an adaptive function, allowing us to model and understand ourselves and the world around us. As social beings, consciousness supports self-reflection, imagination, and communication. We can think abstractly, anticipate future needs, and solve problems. Consciousness gives us a sense of personal identity and continuity over time.
My own experiences certainly feel rich with consciousness. I experience a stream of perceptions, thoughts, and emotions. I can reflect on my internal state, make plans, and communicate my ideas to others. For example, I consciously pursued psychology to understand the human mind better. I imagine possible careers, weigh alternatives, and take purposeful steps towards my goals. When I teach or counsel others, I must be acutely aware of my thoughts, feelings, and actions from moment to moment.
In conclusion, consciousness allows us to adapt, connect, and thrive creatively. While neuroscience continues to unravel its biological basis, the subjective experience of consciousness is a profound and defining aspect of our humanity. Our inner awareness shapes our personal growth and relationships. Consciousness enables us to learn, create, love and find meaning in our lives.

Essay on Prompts That Describe the Function of the Mind
We have a mind to create meaning and purpose for the world around us. The mind can code and decode events using multiple cognitive processes. It plays a central role in shaping how individuals examine the world and their environment (McDowell, 2016). For example, I am a Muslim. The religious framework in my mind establishes a set of beliefs and values that I must follow to create purpose and meaning in my actions. We associate behaviors with stimuli through the development of a Contingency. Individuals use past experiences and outcomes to associate given behaviors with specific stimuli. They create contingencies that shape how they react to similar situations in the future (Timberlake et al., 1982). For example, I always work hard to meet performance targets to get a bonus payment. The stronger the contingency the greater the likelihood we act when that stimulus is present. The more a behavior is connected to a stimulus through constant exposure and occurrence, the more people are likely to display the same behavior when facing the same stimulus (Spielman et al., 2020). For example, whenever I exceed the speed limit I get served with a speeding ticket. I always drive within the set speed limit to avoid getting a speeding ticket.
We generalize stimuli and responses so that we can behave in many different situations. Generalization enables people to apply the knowledge and experiences gained from a previous situation to a similar or related context in the future. It is vital in helping individuals identify trends and navigate different situations (McDowell, 2016). For example, learning a mathematic concept to solve a specific problem helps me handle related questions in an exam. We form concepts about stimuli to consolidate cognitive resources and use less brain to get the same behavior. Individuals categorize stimuli based on their features, eliminating situation-based cognitive processing of each stimulus (Spielman et al., 2020). Minimal mental effort is required to achieve similar behavior. For example, when I see my boss smiling and eager to start conversations, I know he is happy. We apply concepts to the real world through algorithms and heuristics to solve problems. Algorithms are systematic procedures with a defined end. On the contrary, heuristics refers to practical rules that offer plausible solutions (Timberlake et al., 1982). When people categorize stimuli, they use algorithms and heuristics to handle real-world issues. For example, I always sort items on my desk and schedule to understand how to prioritize them.
Some people seem to be more intelligent than other people. People have varying cognitive abilities. For example, I get elected or appointed to lead teams because I demonstrate sound decision-making. We learn so much in the first five years of life. The concepts that we get stick with us forever. Early childhood development is pivotal in an individual’s life (McDowell, 2016). The knowledge and ideas people learn during this period shape their perspectives. For example, as a toddler, I learned about sadness and happiness from my elder sister. Our Emotions are stimuli that become conditioned through experience. People’s emotional reactions are connected to a stimulus that occurred in the past (Spielman et al., 2020). For example, an accident earlier in my life caused a traumatic experience that increases my fear for speed. Our motivation is a combination of emotional arousal and problem solving in our prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex handles cognitive processes that collaborate with rewards from emotional responses to enhance motivation (Timberlake et al., 1982). For example, I always ensure I undertake appropriate budgeting, planning, and strategizing to achieve my performance targets to get a salary increase.

Attitudes are formed by friendly impacts. For example, assuming society values congruity, people could foster perspectives that line up with cultural standards. Then again, on the off chance that an individual deliberately dismisses predictability, their demeanor could mirror a craving for uniqueness.
Besides, in group development, individuals frequently structure bunches in light of shared interests or values. The elements inside a gathering can impact what is thought of as “typical” conduct inside that particular setting. Thirdly, oblivious obedience can prompt congruity inside a group, stifling individual disputes. On the off chance that an individual goes against the gathering’s “normal” view, they might feel strain to adjust or confront social dismissal.
A leader- a follower can moreover assume fundamental parts in forming standards. A charming leader can impact the group’s meaning of business as usual, while supporters add to the aggregate character.
The fifth point is a counter-attitudinal way of behaving. Taking part in ways of behaving in opposition to one’s perspectives could happen because of prevalent burdens or the longing to fit in. For instance, somebody could take on specific political perspectives to line up with their gathering.
Moreover, cognitive dissonance, the distress from clashing perspectives can persuade people to change their convictions or ways of behaving to decrease mental disharmony. This cycle can add to similarity or deviation from the apparent standard.

In self-serving predisposition and knowing the past inclination, people might ascribe victories to inner variables and disappointments to outer elements. Knowing the past predisposition can influence the view of what was unsurprising or typical after an occasion has happened.
Besides, in apprehension about disappointment and the need for accomplishment, social assumptions and social standards can impact a singular’s feeling of dread toward disappointment and drive for accomplishment. For instance, social orders that esteem achievement could push people to adjust to high accomplishment standards.
Connection 4 A “broken mind” usually means mental health problems or illnesses. It symbolizes the derailment of the thinking, feelings, or actions that influence well-being. To overcome this, therapy or counseling should be sought. The aim of therapeutic approaches such as psychoanalysis, behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral theory, and also medication is the elimination or reduction of symptoms. Healing also requires a supportive environment, understanding of mental health issues, and reducing the stigma around it (Spielman et al., 2020). Understanding the challenges of mental health conditions, individualized treatment programs, and an integrating perspective – biological psychology and socio-cultural factors are required for recovery.

1. Information overload can be an issue. Provide an example of how too much data in an Electronic Health Record (EHR) resulted in overload and how or what you did to mitigate the feelings of overload. 2. Security and privacy issuesThough there are a lot of benefits of EHR, EHRs are potentially vulnerable to security concerns which may affect the confidentiality of patients’ information (Basil et. al., 2022). The EHR is required to use technology, computers, mobile devices, medical identity theft, and increased data exchange between different organizations may increase the risk of security and privacy issues.

Discuss the discourse used in “The Gift of the Magi” by O.Henry in terms of gender and class. Make sure that you comment on the underlying message of the specific discursive structure that operates on both levels. Try to elaborate on the reason why concepts such as goodness, sacrifice and love are represented in association with povery. Do you think poverty is idealized for some reason in the text. If so, why? Why do you think Della’s most valuable thing is her hair, a part of her body and Jim’s most valuable possession is his watch? In what way do think this effects the representation of each gender?

1- discuss * Share a quotation from the Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried that captured your attention. see the PDF attached * In a short paragraph (7-10 sentences), perform a close reading of the quotation by answering the following questions:
What details of the text stand out to you? Are these details representative of a literary deviceLinks to an external site.? Why did these details stand out? What is the effect or impact of that textual detail and/or literary device?
Does the detail connect to the overall themes or messages of the chapter?

*The quotation I selected is on page 9 of the chapter. It reads, “Afterward, when the firing ended, they would blink and peek up. They would touch their bodies, feeling shame, then quickly hiding it. They would force themselves to stand. As if in slow motion, frame by frame, the world would take on the old
logic—absolute silence, then the wind, then sunlight, then voices. It was the burden of being alive” (O’Brien 9). This use of imagery appealed to many of the readers’ senses and painted the picture of the mental effects soldiers experience through war. The section that describes “They would touch their bodies, feeling shame, then quickly hiding it,” connects to the readers’ sense of touch as well as emotions of both sympathy and sorrow for the soldier. Once the firing ceases, we can visualize the solider coming back into self awareness and frantically touching his body to see if he is still alive. Furthermore, this demonstrates how the soldiers are conflicted with either wanting to be alive or dead, which is a terrible reality for the reader to ponder for the soliders who are in the midst of war. To end this quote, it reads, “the world would take on the old logic—absolute silence, then the wind, then sunlight, then voices. It was the burden of being alive.” This section appeals to the visual senses and continues to weigh heavily on the reader’s emotions by portraying how the soldiers must live with these horrible memories forever, yet nobody else will understand because the after effects of the battle will eventually be masked by the peaceful state of Earth. All aspects of this quote create a clear image for the reader, whether it is visual, touch, or emotional. It connects to the overall message of the chapter by demonstrating the hardships soldiers have to go through in the state of war as well as long after these horrible events are over because the memories will continue to haunt them.

**This quote was on the bottom of the first column of page 3, all the first few sentences to the next column of the same page. I quoted Kiowa, he said Ted Lavender was always the one scared, the one who carried tranquilizer to calm himself down in the group, got shot. Kiowa said “It was like watching a rock fall, or a big sandbag or something—just boom, then down—not like the movies where the dead guy rolls around and does fancy spins and goes ass over teakettle—not like that. Kiowa said the poor bastard just flat-fuck fell. Boom. Down. Nothing else.”
I find that Kiowa was an interesting character in the book. The author described Kiowa, as someone who carried a lot of things with him, both physically and emotionally attached to his heart. He was a devout Baptist, and carried an illustrated New Testament that had been presented to him by his father, who taught Sunday school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He also carries his grandfather’s old hunting hatchet. Also, as a hedge against bad times, however, Kiowa also carried his grandmother’s distrust of the white man. These were the details from the text that stood out to me, which tells pretty much a lot of the person’s character with whom I’ve never met. In the quote that I took from Kiowa in the first paragraph, the words he used were so animated, to me, the Literary Device that closely describes his quote is Imagery. These details stood out, because of how detailed Kiowa describe the death of Ted Lavender, Kiowa describes the scenes as he was seeing it in live action, until the end of Ted Lavender. The effect or impact of that textual detail and/or literary device was so strong, that I could also literally imagine how it happened and seeing such a horrible thing must have caused a lot of sadness and a lot of stress. The detail connects to the overall themes or messages of the chapter most definitely throughout the chapter, with the title of “The things they carried. What Kiowa saw with his own bare eyes added to the many things he was carrying in the chapter and most likely for the rest of his life, that memory of Ted Lavender was so vivid, it was something very unforgettable that Kiowa actually repeated saying and telling everyone that same night that Ted Lavender died.

B)
For this writing project, we will practice writing our own personal narratives. A personal narrative is a unique form of storytelling that recounts events from one’s life, often focusing on a particular experience or moment that holds significance. Unlike a traditional autobiography, personal narratives emphasize subjective experiences and emotions. This offers readers insight into the storyteller’s perspective.
We will take inspiration from Tim O’Brien’s novel, The Things They Carried. In an interview, O’Brien noted that “the things we carry, the objects we carry, say things about the sorts of people we are…” Think about the sorts of things you carry. Consider objects that you always have in your bag, on your nightstand, or even in a secret place. These object may range from practical belongings to sentimental keepsakes– each with its own story to tell.——- Choose 1
artifact/object to focus on for this project. Craft a short (600-850 word) personal narrative using that artifact as inspiration. Th artifact should function as a kind of centerpiece of your narrative.
In your narrative you could tell the story of …
-the artifact’s history and significance
-the memories it evokes.
—–
Your chosen object could feature prominently in a pivotal moment from your past, symbolize a defining aspect of your identity, or serve as a catalyst for personal growth. Ultimately, your personal narrative will tell us something deeper about who you are.
Here are some things to keep in mind when writing a narrative:
* Include descriptive detail, giving attention to all of the senses, to recreate events rather than a summary of what happened.
**Use time order effectively, including chronological, flashbacks, and flash-forward, omitting non-relevant events.
***Use selective dialogue, and avoid lengthy word-for-word dialogue that isn’t relevant.
****Let the narrative make the point without summarizing a “moral.” Trust your readers to draw their own conclusions from your story. Show rather than tell!! *****Explore the significance of the event by combining narration and reflection.
******Use characterization to depict the qualities, characteristics, and appearance of characters.
*******Employ various literary devices such as imagery, metaphor, syntax, etc

details about any past or current academic performance relevant to your application. Briefly outline the exact circumstances (good or bad) and how they affected your academic performance.
In 2023, I failed 6 subjects including multiple repeat fails. In the first semester of 2023, I failed 3 subjects because I was instantly overwhelmed by all of the new information about coding and algorithms. I immediately fell behind and I got depressed. So I gave up on all three subjects. In the second semester, I tried the three subjects again. When I thought everything was going well, my grandfather passed away. I only went home for a few days to attend his funeral and had to immediately fly back to Australia. I was filled with sadness and regret, I could not study so I failed again. I explained my situation and the Course Academic Progress Committee suspended my enrollment and imposed a period of leave for the first half year. So I decided to travel home and spend more time with my family and granny. During this time, I realized that I was not fit for Computer Science so I chose to shadow my parents to learn their area of work. I gained knowledge about law, finance, and management. I met multiple successful individuals and received a lot of advice. All these experiences, make me want to study more about economics and finance. I am ready to return to study with a new capacity for success.
