    Thinking is needed in order for improvement and advancement. Without it we would still be stuck as cavemen or probably extinct. In the story Thinkers Anonymous: Do You Think Too Much? the protagonist is having serious difficulty with thinking too much. Thinking too much is not always detrimental, there are benefits to it. For example it leads me to do great analysis’ on texts, which leads to believe that is probably why the protagonist ran to the library. The concept of people saying to not think so much reminds me of the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, because both have societies where thinking a lot is frowned upon. Which brings to mind the issue of people being subconsciously controlled to not think so they just do as they are told. It baffles…

    What is thinking? According to Gary Kirby and Jeffrey Goodpaster, “Thinking does not have a clear definition and experts do not know the answer” (2007). Thinking can be a way of communicating, writing that gives clarity, and dialogue that gives validation. According to the Encarta Dictionary, thinking is defined as a use of the mind to form thoughts; and opinions or conclusions arrived. However, misthinking is the opposite of clear thinking which results in confusion and can lead to costly conclusions (2007).…

    The brain “runs” our body, and has complete control of everything from muscle movement to our ability to study and remember the material. In some cases, it controls limbs that are not even there. This is known as phantom limb syndrome. The patient in the study can feel the limb, even though it is not there. In tests that were done, it is believed that there may be a cross-wiring of the neuropathways. The path that controls the amputated arm is sending out signals, but is not receiving any back, so it keeps sending more signals. This resending of the signals over and over causes pain to the patient that feels like it is in the arm that is not there. To alleviate the pain, the doctor puts the patient’s good arm in a box; next to it is a mirror where the amputated arm would be. The patient clenches and unclenches his arm, while looking at the mirror. The brain is basically tricked to stop sending signals, so the patient is relieved of the pain.…

    There are different types of ways to think. There are things we do every day without much thinking, such as blinking, waking up, walking and so on. Other things we do in life may require more thought such as driving, what to wear, or what to say. Then there are the instances when your thinking has a purpose. According to Dr. Paul and Dr. Elder (2008), “Purposeful thinking requires both critical and creative thinking.”(p.5), you have to be open-minded to alternatives to solving problems and be able to accept that consequences of what choice that has been made.…

    Mind Overpowers Reality

    In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, as well as John Keat’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” art is looked upon through two different perspectives, as Huxley’s world declares reality more important than anything that the mind can conjure up, whereas Keat’s outlook declares that imagination reigns superior to the physical world. In Brave New World, Linda encounters the Complete Works of Shakespeare which she believes "was lying in one of the chests of the Antelope Kiva. It's supposed to have been there for hundreds of years. I expect it's true, because I looked at it, and it seemed to be full of nonsense. Uncivilized” (Huxley 131). In a dystopic world, the ability to interpret and comprehend are referred to as "uncivilized." Linda's deeming of Shakespeare's works as "uncivilized" is ironic, because, in modern times, Shakespeare…
