One solid piece of feedback was that I put in a fact about the Robert E Lee statue that was removed in New Orleans. The feedback was that the statue was removed so it was erased and that goes against what Kaphar was talking about. I can change this in my paper by either adding a different example of statues being amended or I can say what the benefit would have been if we kept the statue and added something…
Art, it has many forms and with those different forms they have many different connections to certain people. There is music, paintings,books, movies and so much more. All these different types of art can bring out emotional responses from people and they have many meanings. Have you ever read a book or listened to music and couldn’t help but smile or even cry? Art can bring out the good in people or it can represent our history. There is so…
The TED Talk that I chose was the one about Titus and how he wants to bring the people that weren’t talked about in history like the young black boys in paintings and let them shine. Titus talks about wanting to amend our past because if we erase it, we won’t be making progress or anything. There are limits to what he is talking about in his talk because there are still people that are stuck with the ideas from…
“How Art Changes Us” Titus Kaphar Hook: The personal story about him and his kids going to the museum Inquiring Entry: Is there a way for us to amend our public sculptures not erase them? Claims: -Confront our past not erase it. -Art history class and the section on African Americans in painting. -African Americans are always pushed back and in the shadows. -Make new monuments next to old ones to create new stories. -There is…
When visiting the Effective Altruism page I left like they were just trying to sell the good parts of their “product”. They were saying that you can help people and that’s a good think. In Southan’s paper he talked about how these people were kinda extreme on what they thought would help people and that you need to be making money and then giving in to others but at the same time you have to be the best because you…
I do think that it is important to relieve the suffering that is going on in the world. Especially with how many countries don’t have food or even in the US there are states that don’t have clean drinking water. I do believe that people should do what they love and what makes them happy even if it may not help others in the conventional way. I personally don’t know how much I can contribute to the cause because I…
When anyone brings up the idea of genetic editing many people get uncomfortable. The idea of editing someones genes is a very controversial topic and with it being controversial comes with it the need for laws and regulations. In today’s day and age scientist can practically get a way with anything. There are some rules and regulations but how well are they being followed and how do we know who is following these rules, as well as how other countries…
According to Nuffield, altering genes can lead to eliminating a genetic mutation but it can also be to risky. The DL talks about having “an understanding of the need for balance in nature and the employment of this need as a gauge for the direction of our thought and action”. The DL means that there needs to be some sort of balance with how far we take this gene editing. If genome editing is used to take away a predisposed…
I think that compassion plays a role in the design of ethical standards for biogenetics and genetic manipulation, it may not be a huge role but it is in peoples minds and they take everything into consideration when making these rules. Compassion plays a role because when they are making these ethical rules they are looking at all the sides. They are looking to see if there will be long term effects and if there are would it be right…
I think that the first draft is all about the process of writing it and not about the product. Lamott talks about how in the first draft all you have to do is write, just get something down on the paper. Some of the things that you write will be used in the second draft and they help tell you where you want to go with the paper but you are going to edit the first draft so it really…
