Hello, my name is Karlens Pierre, and I am a senior at UMass Dartmouth studying in Healthcare Services Administration. I am originally from Boston, and I have three older siblings. In my spare time, I love going to the gym with friends, playing indoor sports, and discovering new local restaurants.
For this assignment, I decided to read the blog article “Thagard’s The Brain and the Meaning of Life” from the Philosophy collection. This blog caught my interest since it explores the connections between science and spiritual concerns, which I find extremely interesting. The blog addresses how knowing the brain’s activities might help us find meaning in life, combining scientific findings with philosophical investigation.
One way this blog may serve as a model for my own work is how it combines tough issues into an understandable narrative. Thagard’s ability to clarify complicated ideas while preserving what they stand for is something I strive for, particularly when addressing healthcare-related concerns to large audiences. On the other hand, the blog is mostly dedicated to philosophical debate, which may not be quite appropriate for my focus on practical healthcare management. This encourages creative research, while requires balance principles with practical findings in work.
In terms of environmental issues, Boston, where I grew up, is facing significant challenges asworsens due to climate change. These alterations harm structures and the surrounding environment. Organizations such as the Boston Climate Action Network work constantly to promote environmentally friendly behaviors and laws. They hold community events, workshops, and campaigns to increase awareness and advocate for green initiatives such as enhanced public transportation and the development of green spaces. These partnerships are important for reducing climate risks and fostering a healthier city lifestyle.
Hi Karlens, I am also from Boston and am graduating UMASSD this year! I am interested in reading more about the article you chose, my concentration is Philosophy but I always did. Love learning about the brain and psychology, which I think help you with your aspirations in the medical field! Cant wait to read more from you,
Megan
