What I find interesting in chapter 14 is the diagnosis and treatment section. The reason I find this section interesting is because I think it's amazing how new technology is introduce to the medical profession constantly to help with patients care.

Then there's 3-D ultrasonography that create 3-D images of various organs and structures. There's also surgery techniques that allow incisions of a 1/2 inch or less, which reduced postoperative pain, hospital stays, costs, and enable patients to return to normal function much more rapidly. This make me feel happy because

    The medical values learned in chapter 11 are, emotional detachment, professional socialization, clinical experience, mastering uncertainty, mechanistic model, intervention, and emphasis on acute and rare illnesses. The three that I mainly care about are, emotional detachment, mastering uncertainty, and clinical experience.

The doctor is supposed to sustain emotional detachment from patients. (Weitz 276). A doctor should try and keep their distance because their emotion can strongly affect the patient. How a doctor reacts or approaches a situation will show how they are with emotional detachment. Mastering

This process was called the acoustical process. In 1925, microphones were introduced to transfer the acoustical energy to an electric signal, which fed the cutting stylus.

"When we talk about cultures or art in general, art does not have a place or a homeland. It is an art in general, which means that anyone who likes to hear any piece of music, whether Western, Arab or Asian, loves to hear it, it is not necessary that he understands the language or understands the tradition. Art is a sense, and as they say: Art has no homeland.

    Yaghjian deals in this chapter with how to write a theological reflection paper (TRP) well along with “rhetorics of process, problem solving and proclamation” (18). The beginning of this chapter memo is not simply an “academic exercise” but rather a good instruction to write TRP well. The author admits that there is no such model of writing Theological Reflection Paper, because different writers write a reflection paper depending on their specialization. To write a Theological Reflection Paper is to have a clear understanding of what does it mean to be “theological reflection” and the reason of writing their reflection in their particular context. Determining writing what type of paper also essential in writing reflection paper.

    Chapter 10 is concerned with both modernism and industrial beauty. These concepts arose from the art and discipline of photography early in the 1880s and prevailed towards the early 1920s. This period is defined by a dramatic shift of subject matter away from historical and classical subject matter in favor of modern events and experimental representations of subject matter. Particularly, photographs of this time were evaluated with a criteria that can now be described as aesthetic formalism. This means that from is given emphasis over content. This means that the photographer intentionally contrives meaning which is interpretable by the viewer. The emphasis is more on the viewer to critically appreciate modern works but

    Science and technology are the two tools, which have helped the human race to control the nature up to a great extent. These are also the most rapidly changing areas, and they are strongly interdependent on each other. New discoveries in science lead to a better and more efficient technology; while new inventions in the technology help to discover and study science more deeply and accurately. Health care is a profession that uses both these tools to achieve the noblest cause ever possible- that is nothing but saving people’s lives. Obviously, advancement in the existing technologies will change the ways physicians diagnose, analyze, and cure patients. Having better machines for ultrasounds, MRI, PET scans will let the physicians concentrate more on the options to treat the diseases rather than diagnosing them as accurately as possible. One of the exciting reasons why I chose medicine as my future profession is actually the fact that it is changing every minute and I will always have something new to learn. Biology, technology, excitement, and community service are the perfect qualities possessed by a profession in health sciences that will give me the satisfaction of choosing the right

    I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep until I felt an insistent prodding against my side. Grumbling softly under my breath, I tried to hide underneath my covers only to have them tugged sharply away. With great reluctance, I finally sat up and glanced at my mother. Everything felt sluggish as I tried to figure out why she was in my room before suddenly I paled. The school would have told her about the incident by this point. Tugging at the corners of my light blue pajamas, my gaze immediately drifted down to the corner of the bed. I couldn't face her, especially since I already glimpse the disappointment on her face.
