    “The mind changes, the word changes, time doesn't stay still, history is a verb, it is ongoing, there is no past tense, future tense, history is constant” Hung Liu told interviewer Rachelle Riechart (Riechart). Hung Liu is a Chinese woman who was born in Changchun, China in 1948. She was born during the age which we call the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which heavily impacted her life. She lived in China for 36 years and then left for the United States. She now resides in Oakland, CA, where she teaches art at Mills College (“A World of Art”). A lot of her artwork is based on photographs and memories she has from China and photographs she’s taken in the United States. She takes photographs of pictures, repaints them, usually oil paint on canvas, and slightly alters them by leaving washes and drips to show how history can’t be remembered fully from a picture. She also does artwork for American history such as a piece she did in South Carolina for Chinese people who owned laundry mats (Riechart). I find most of Hung Liu’s artwork to be very historical and personal, because most of her artwork comes from her own photographs. I’d like to focus on how she addresses the struggles of being an immigrant throughout the country, how Hung Liu maintains her cultural traditions in almost all of her artwork, and how she defines the word “history”.…

    One of the most important writers of the Enlightenment was the philosopher and novelist Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). The work of Rousseau has influenced a generation and beyond and it is argued that the main ideals of the French and American revolutions arose from his works, for example The Discourse on Equality. The main concept of Rousseau's thought is that of 'liberty', and his belief that modern society forced humans to give up their independence, making everyday life corrupt and unfree. One of the central problems Rousseau confronted is best summed up in the first line of arguably his most important work, The Social Contract.…

    Bauby’s time in the hospital room 119 of the Naval Hospital on the French Channel, he experiences communication issues that have impacted him. “No one had yet given me an accurate picture of my situation . . .” recalled Mr. Babuby clinging to the hope that he would quickly be back to himself talking and walking again (Bauby, 1997, p. 2). An absence of communication led Mr. Babuby to incorrectly assume his prognosis. Later, he learned he would never be able to live his former life again; Mr. Bauby reported that when was officially a quadriplegic he was devastated by the brutal down grade because he had such high hopes (Bauby, 1997, p. 2). The one-side conversation that is associated with locked-in syndrome may have been a barrier between the providers and Mr. Bauby. Doctors may have found it easier to tell Mr. Bauby’s family instead of directly telling Mr. Bauby. Health literacy is a mutual duty between health care providers and patient to communicate is ways that the other person can understand (Osborne, 2013, p. 2). Providers should adjust by talking directly to the patient, not speaking to loved ones as if the patient is not present. information and prognosis should be given in a timely manner and not withheld from the patient. Due to lack of communication, Mr. Bauby dealt with having an unrealistic expectation of getting…
