As I scrolled through many of the research topics, I was impressed with all the different one's I was interested in digging deep in to. Which then brought me to research idea #4, 'bridging two cultures'. I thought this would be a good topic to dig into because by the time I graduate I will have obtained an associates degree in social science and humanities. Then I said to my self I should become an expert. And so...Science and humanity
When I think of bridging the two cultures i think of bringing together two pieces of a puzzle together. They both go hand in hand in many ways. One for example is that in order to understand science you have to think analytically. When reading a kind of text, in order to understand characters or plots about a story you must be able to analyze. Likewise in order to understand a theory you must analyze the method and experimentation that allowed you to create that idea. Humanities is the study of human culture and so are the sciences. These two are bridged together to allow us to think critically about the study of humans, life and so much more. Moreover what is most interesting to me is being able to distinguish science and humanities and science being the study of our world, naturally. Humanities would be the study of the inner part of life, how we think, how and why we feel and act the way that we do. All these questions all related to the study of the brain--its structure and function.I decided to take on learning more on bridging these two cultures with the works by Oliver Sacks. I am interested in taking on the effects of music on a damaged human brain. More specifically, autism.
