In the story, "The View of Me From Mars," Lee K. Abott writes a story about a father and son relationship. In this story the father realizes that he isn't perfect and tries to have his son cover up his own mistake. Lee K. Abott, though being subtle, makes it known, through the characters he uses, that a person can't believe everything he sees. The author successfully enlightens the reader with his use of point of view, characterization, and theme to make the reader feel sympathy and to give the story credibility.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interesting field of computing is becoming increasingly popular. AI is “the ability of a computer system to process information in a manner similar to human thought or to exhibit humanlike behavior” (Litman) and it involves a computer learning to think and derive decisions similar to, or better than a human can. It’s becoming increasingly popular as it has several valuable uses. However, a common argument states that computers can and will become to the point where their intelligence matches ours, meaning they can program. This leads to the computer having the ability to program itself better, which allows it to program itself better, and this creates an endless loop of infinite progression, allowing them
In the book Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, magical realism plays a large roll in the book. Magical Realism blends realistic elements with magical elements to create ‘magical realism.’ As a matter of fact, magical realism is used for a graphical explanation to access a better comprehension of reality; therefore, the readers can understand the connection from primeval or magical. In other words, fictional realism emphasis the elements of everyday life. Laura Esquivel effectively uses a fictional style to voice magical elements such as, Tita’s breast milk, the quail with rose pedals in the soup and the death of Pedro and Tita.

Moran, P. "The epidemiology of antisocial personality disorder ." Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology. 34.5 (1999): 231-242. Print.
In order to gain an understanding of antisocial personality disorder and treatments used in working with the disorder, is is important to examine changes in the diagnostic criteria and personality traits associated with antisocial personality disorder over time. However, the disorder was not actually listed and defined until the DSM-III in 1980. Prior to that ASD was lumped in with psychopathy and sociopathy. Around the 1970’s psychopathy became the focus at attempts of standardization. Robert Hare developed a diagnostic tool, the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) (Pickersgill, 2012). This helped advance the understanding of psychopathology however, it should be used more as a tool for classifying rather than diagnosing the disorder. Hare’s research and development of the PCL-R set up the foundation for
Tracy K. Smith’s “Life on Mars” is a collection of poetry dealing mainly in the search for a sense of purpose and the nature of people. The books is something of an elegy as a whole with many poems pertaining to death and the author’s struggle with the loss of her father. The poems are at once poignant and gentle in tone and leave questions than can only be answered in multiple readings. The book is segmented in four parts that travel through different topics and types of poetry. The mood ranges from passionate accounts of Orwellian politics to soft recollections of a lovers embrace; throughout the book Smith brings in references to pop culture, science, and technology that incorporate seamlessly with her words.
Have you ever looked up in the sky and wondered if there is life elsewhere in the universe? Have you ever looked at a photograph of Mars and wondered if there really was ever life on it? People have a wide variety of opinions regarding these questions and with good reason. As far back as the broadcast of H. G. Well's novel, "The War of the Worlds", the world has been fascinated with the possibilities of what Mars may hold. Over time, the majority of people have come to realize that there is no way that life can currently be on Mars. Those who are uncertain think there may be microscopic bacteria underground.
When most people think of artificial intelligence they might think of a scene from I, Robot or from 2001: A Space Odyssey. They might think of robots that highly resemble humans start a revolution against humanity and suddenly, because of man’s creation, man is no longer the pinnacle of earth’s hierarchy of creatures. For this reason, it might scare people when I say that we already utilize artificial intelligence in every day society. While it might not be robots fighting to win their freedom to live, or a defense system that decides humanity is the greatest threat to the world, artificial intelligence already plays a big role in how business is conducted today.
According to “Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence” (2015), AI has the ability to work in conditions that involve inhumane circumstances. For example, as a species, humans are able to explore in regions located in outer space that have never been able to be done before the use of AI. Also, according to Daisy (2017), the use of artificial intelligence is a pro in the sense that they do not have emotions. By having no emotions, the artificial intelligent system or machine is able to be on track of accomplishing its goal, without affecting its performance. Simultaneously, this pro can be turned into a con if the artificial intelligent system has a destructive method for achieving its goal. Lastly, the use of artificial intelligence increases the efficiency of products being produced (“Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence,” 2015).
Since 1976, when the Viking Landers took off toward the red planet, people have been wondering if there is life on Mars. There have been questions of pictures taken from Mars and skepticism about why some of the recent landings have failed. Scientists, up till now, have been doubtful about life on Mars.
The approach to artificial intelligence should be proceeded with caution. Throughout recent years and even decades before, it has been a technological dream to produce artificial intelligence. From movies, pop culture, and recent technological advancements, there is an obsession with robotics and their ability to perform actions that require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence has become a real and approachable realization today, but should be approached with care and diligence. Humans can create advanced artificial intelligence but should not because of the harm they may cause, the monumental advancement needed in the technology, and that its harm outweighs its benefits.
Humans can expect to face some major challenges on an expedition to Mars. It has been proven that humanity can travel in space for over two years. Cumulatively, Sergei Constantinovich Krikalev, a Russian cosmonaut, has spent over eight-hundred and three days in Earth orbit (Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 2005). The expedition to Mars would require the crew to endure a six month journey to the planet, a year of living on the planet, and a six months journey back to Earth. Russian cosmonaut, Valery V. Polyakoz, clocking in at four-hundred and thirty-eight days for just one stay in Earth orbit, shows humanity is capable of a twelve month round trip to Mars (Schwirtz, 2009). Earth's orbit has provided some benefits to space exploration, like the magnetic field from cosmic radiation, and the proximity to Earth if an emergency were to arise (Jones, 2009). The further humans travel away from Earth the greater the risks become. The major risks to human health on a flight to Mars, living on Mars, and returning to Earth are: radiation exposure, biological problems induced by weightlessness, spacecraft malfunctions, and psychological problems brought on by isolation.
Fast forward almost 66 years and the game of Artificial Intelligence has changed, the world today was a possibility for scientists and researchers in the early 1950s. AI is now apart of our everyday life, we have it in our cars, cellphones, toys, labs, etc. AI has become essential in our life, we can no longer live without it. And it’s still
In the end, these main problems of artificial intelligence result in the same problem. While artificial intelligence would prove to be technologically revolutionary by introducing new ideas such as quantum computers or robots, said new ideas could result in the downfall of the world itself. Being a human being with your own consciousness is better than living forever with no feelings or emotions. These are the reasons why the advancement of artificial intelligent should be halted or banned so no harm can be done even without the intentions.
