Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art

Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art



I have a strong connection with the medicine and technology. As I want to become a Doctor, I am rather interested with anything medical. I have had three surgeries in the past that have made me very interested in the field itself. I am truly mesmerized with the idea of using technology with in the medical field. By using different technology, the field is able to advance in ways that are amazing. The amount of research that goes into the form of medicine is insane. I believe the medical is its own art form. For me personally, I have experienced this art form first hand. When is was younger I under went a reconstructive knee surgery. Within this surgery, they had to use a cadaver to create a new ligament. The thought of having to be so meticulous and precise excites me. When Doctor is preforming surgery on a person, it's like they are recreating or creating a new part of the body. The body itself is an art piece, therefore when doctors must repair or restructure specific areas, they are perform art. These doctors are able to re-sculpt parts of the body to make is better.

As an example, arthroscopic surgery is a form of surgery that is used to repair small tendons, tissue or ligaments. This is one of the many uses of technology that doctors use when repairing a patient. The arthroscopic surgery is when a small keyhole is made through the body so that a camera can be place inside the body so that the doctors can repair the injury within the skin. The camera is meant to see and later little tools will be used to repair. 

Another sort of technology used is MRI's, X-Rays and CAT scans. These sorts of technology are used in order to take small pictures of the body to understand the problems underneath the skin. This form of technology is almost like a photographer of the human body. In its own way, the MRI, CAT scan and X-rays are performing they're own sort of art form. This, in my mind, is beautiful and organic photograph or the art we call the human body.

This sort of art form is very relatable because we all have human bodies and the human body is usually all the same. Everyone is a walking art piece. The way are bodies form and the way that how own body interacts with everything inside is fascinating, that's what are is. Art is ascetically pleasing and meaningful in whatever which way and that's how the body is. While there is also so much more to discover about the human body, we can appreciate the extraordinary things the body is capable of.

We are able to explore the beauty of humans through this technology and research, therefore it is truly amazing. 
By seeing the body as art, we are able to understand and figure out what happens underneath the skin. With art, it's all about finding the deeper meaning and explore the different routes of emotions it puts us through. Many people have a different perspective of how medical is which allows people to dive deeper into what they believe about medicine and technology on their own.

    Just like you are mesmerized by surgeries I am the same with photography. I grew up in a very creative environment and have always found pictures and films to be really interesting. I think it is amazing that they have found ways to use images and photography to help pinpoint medical problems.

Week 6: Bio Tech and Art

Week 6: Bio Tech and Art  Many of our foods today are extremely tasty and are visual pleasing, however there is a system in which creates and maintains these interesting looking foods. For example, Bananas are one of the most publicly known fruits. This fruit is used in a million different ways and for many different meals and snacks. In my personally experience I really enjoy bananas with almond butter or peanut butter with honey on top of a rice cake or toast. I think this is an amazing breakfast of snack, yet there is more to a banana then meets the eye. A banana is a genetically modified fruit, meaning it has been tampered with in order to ensure its values. Have you ever notices a banana with a seed? No, because they have been genetically modified to be represented without them. Within the United States, bananas are one of the many fruits that have been mutated to recreated. Due to the ability of the advanced technology in biology we are able to make these miner and dras...

Week 1: Two Cultures These article are all about culture and how they shape our thoughts.  (The combining of cultures) Within "Toward a Third Culture: Being In Between," Vesna explains the views of two cultures. Vesna goes into detail of how thinking in different ways becomes our culture. Later Vesna explains how we are able to slowly emerge into a new culture by thinking in different or unlikely ways. For example, we are already divided into different cultures when we think. Given that our society has been sculpted into believing that there are two different ways, science and history. North vs. South Campus  This sort if division is see all over the word, yet, it is also closer to us then we believe. With UCLA we accept this difference in culture. When meeting someone new, we often ask, "Are you North or South Campus?" This is a prime example of the division. We have to choose what culture we would like to be apart of. Knowing a person that is...
