negative consciousness will be the cause of one’s failure. In the contrast‚ a positive consciousness will lead to a great possibility of result in success. Leo Tolstoy once states‚ “For a human being to do something…‚ it is first necessary for a certain change to take place in his consciousness.” Our actions begin when a change in consciousness begins.

With the rapid growth of technology one many wonder how it is affecting culture and if it is good or bad. In American culture today‚ I see it in both lights. With more and more robots being produced‚ people are starting to be replaced and are consequently losing their jobs. Even a simple production line for making a car is not necessary for human labor anymore. The sense of products being “hand made” is a rare commodity these days. Culturally‚ it effects people by losing their channel of income

Individual vs. Social Consciousness in Hobbes‚ Madison‚ Hegel‚ and Marx Hobbes and Madison derive their concept of politics in the liberal tradition of individualism‚ sketching out an ahistorical notion of human nature.

Hobbes approach towards the nature of man is viewed from a mechanistic and ontological perspective:

The threat of technology has always been present. It’s been quickly picked up by modern America with the demands of contribution to our fast-paced lifestyle‚ as well as the growing capacity of our laziness (the luxury of texting‚ voice-to-text compatibility‚ etc.). Though technology offers great possibilities to expand one’s knowledge‚ it has increasingly become a threat to that possibility. High school is the ultimate peak of a child’s learning.

I am absolutely certain that technology is a great tool that reduced medical error‚ however it seems to me that every time that I go to see a doctor‚ they are paying more attention to the computer’s screen than me as a patient so It is hard for individuals to express issues and concerns when healthcare professionals show an uncaring and impersonal attitude . Clearly‚ technology is a complex tool that requires an adequate training of the personnel benefitting
