“Can machines think?”- A question heavily debated dating back to the days of Descartes. This idea has been explored and analyzed by scholars in many diverse fields of study for many‚ many years. Mathematician Alan Turing was a pioneer in unraveling this question. His philosophies found in his published paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” changed the ways in which we perceive and comprehend artificial intelligence. Turing’s most famous advance on the age-old question was the self-titled Turing

I have chosen a picture of muscularity to represent American masculinity‚ as well as a poor drawing of a Bowflex exercise machine. American masculinity is often defined by body shape and tone‚ and is associated with other “masculine” endeavors‚ such as sports and fighting.

These men are also famous for their movie roles‚ but there is little question that their bodies make them

We dump all types of waste into our rivers and seas‚ doing irreparable damage to freshwater and marine species. We hunt for sport and use animal parts to cater to our exotic tastes. All our actions are resulting in the dwindling of wildlife. We are losing

The use of metaphors allows us to understand something by comparing it to an experience to which we are familiar.

dealing with computations which involved "effective" or "mechanical" methods for finding results (which could also be expressed as solutions (values) to formulae). These methods were so called because they could‚ in principle‚ be performed by simple machines (or human-computers or human-calculators‚ to use Turing’s unfortunate phrases). The emphasis was on finiteness : a finite number of instructions‚ a finite number of symbols in each instruction‚ a finite number of steps to the result. This is why

The most difficult time is the period when I came to America. I was born in China and lived there for 20 years. The new environment for me was unfamiliar and challengeable. My English was poor and hard to understand‚ so that I was afraid to speak English to people. But if I want to stay here‚ I must solve this problem.
