This week was very diverse in the activities that I did. The court review for Jamarion Lawhorn was very interesting. His case happened 3 years ago when he stabbed a boy at a playground and the victim died. Lawhorn was waived as an adult in the case. This reflects the juvenile and adult systems which I was taught about in my classes. When he turns 19 he will be done with the juvenile home and at that time they will have to decide what to do with him. He could still potentially get prison time as an adult. It was nice to know about the systems and how they worked to really understand what could happen in his case in the future.…

The assignment that I learned the most from was the Week Two assignment about the digestive system. I now understand how the body uses the different types of food, the path food takes as it enters the body, and how the organs, including the salivary glands work together in the digestive process. However, my favorite part of Week Two came through the class discussions in the area of home remedies. I learned how a change in diet can prevent or help to cure digestive disorders. For example, Diverticulus can be treated at home by drinking plenty of fluid and eating fiber rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. I enjoyed this part the most because I was forced to take medicine for an extended period of time and I really did not enjoy that experience. Therefore, learning natural ways to bring relief was truly refreshing for me.…
One may ask the question "What roles do illusion and reality play in the perception of ourselves and others?". Illusion and reality both play a role in the definition of our perception. Illusion is the stereotype, the racist idea, while reality is the truth that one sees when he/she looks closely and tries to understand. This may be seen in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. Once, during Jem, Dill, and Scout's investigation of Boo Radley, or Mr. Arthur Radley, another time, during the whole jury's verdict against clearly innocent Tom Robinson, and yet again, in the illusion that Dolphus Raymond is always drunk and that is why he is in the situation that he is in.…

I spent the last weekends enjoying the book “Sight Unseen,” the interesting account of the blindness and sight by Georgina Kleege. The introduction struck me with that clear and strong statement: “Writing this book made me blind” (Kleege 1). Then, Kleege explained, writing this book helps her reflect not only how little she actually can see but also how sighted she is. The beautiful writing style filled with a lot of vivid examples and images as well as detailed description engaged me to see the world from the very different perspective: without vision.…
I think that illusions are bad because they make people see things that are not really there. Illusions could lead to someone harming themselves or someone else. Illusions can make someone see something bad that could scare them for a while, and end up making them have flashbacks. Although very few illusions could possibly be good many could make a person’s reputation go bad because if someone says they see something and it’’s not there someone could say that the other person is on drugs. These few reasons make me believe that illusions in our world are bad.…
Furthermore, change blindness has been detected in many other studies. In most cases, observers do not notice changes that are introduced, particularly when these changes occur during disruptions such a blank screen, a blink or an eye movement (Simons). Change blindness occurs whenever attention is diverted from the change signal. Additionally, changes to objects that are significant to the meaning of the scene or changes to visually distinctive objects are detected more rapidly than other changes. Therefore, attention may be necessary for change detection with change to unattended objects going unnoticed.…
I am writing my critical reaction journal based on my readings in regards to a two writings titled, “Seeing More Than Black and White” by Elizabeth Martinez (1998) in “Race, Class, and Gender: An Anthology,” [edited by] Margaret L Andersen; Patricia Hill Collins, 2013, (8th Edition ed., pp. 85-90) and “Color-Blind Privilege” by Charles A. Gallagher (2003) in “Race, Class, and Gender: An Anthology,” [edited by] Margaret L Andersen; Patricia Hill Collins, 2013, (8th Edition ed., pp. 91-95).…
The goal of this paper is to focus on how gender affects what people see in optical illusions. The differences of male and female brains affect how boys and girls act and perceive the world. If there’s a difference in the vision of boys and girls then there will probably be a difference in how they see an optical illusion. Studies show that there are multiple differences in the male and female brain. There are different types of optical illusions, but this paper is mainly about ambiguous illusions because that is what will be used in the experiment. Ambiguous illusions are pictures with multiple images in them. Evidence from the brain proves that our eyes never actually play tricks on us. It’s our brains and how they perceive the information our eyes send to it. To answer the question, do boys and girls see optical illusions differently, the brain’s relationship with the eyes, the differences between the male and female brain, the differences in the male and female visual system, and how optical illusions work must be factors to understand the subject completely.…
Color blindness is the inability or the decreasing ability to see color or the differences in colors. John Dalton wrote the first paper pertaining to Colorblindness called “Extraordinary facts relating to the vision of colours” in 1798. He himself was colorblind and originally named the disability daltonism.…
I. INTRODUCTION- Optical art is a style of art that was created in the 1960's, it creates a series of movements, vibrations, and popping effects to the human eye. When viewing optical art, the human eye transfers the image of this mystical art to the mind allowing the brain to analyze the movements of the image. Could age effect the way people see these optical illusions? Could…
