Blog assignment #2, LIB200

One show that I watch all the time is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. This show is basically about different scenarios where victims either get raped, killed, abused, etc. This show has a little bit of science when the forensic scientist goes through whatever the detectives have gathered for her to examine. For example, when they have a rape victim and the guy leaves semen on the victim, they detectives can bring that to the forensic scientist and she can easily figure out who matches to that particular semen. Also if there was to be a killed victim and the killer was to leave some type of fingerprints, or some of his blood by any chance; they can also easily figure out who matches to those fingerprints or to the blood. The language spoken on the show is accurate and it does seem realistic. I think it keeps audiences "awed" because if similar situation like these were to happen to any of us, we would want to figure out who the criminal is. The science in this show is definitely not dumbed down, but better yet very advanced.
In this show I believe that the science part "awes" me! The technology used in this show is so good that it shouldn't be hard to find criminals when they do leave some type of DNA behind. I also think that it inspires me because if we can do this type of science now, who knows how more advanced the science can get 10 years from now.
If people in the U.S. were to watch this show, and they saw that at the end of the show the detectives catch their perpetrator because of science, i think that a lot of them would feel the same way I do. I don't think that anybody would feel threatened with this type of science, I actually believe that many would agree and accept this type of science.

Blog Assignment #1

Hi , my name is Daniela Morales. I'm a student at LaGuardia Community College and I'm majoring in Liberal Arts: Science and Humanities.This is my last semester in LaGuardia and I want to attend a four year school after I graduate. My short term goals are to pass all my classes so I can graduate from LaGuardia and my career goals is to become a successful elementary school teacher in Florida. 

I believe that I am more of a Humanities person. I believe this because I'm a lot more interested and enthusiastic about the quality or state of being human rather then learning about science. I can also say that I am a technology person because I always like to have the latest gadgets or at least know about them . I personally dislike science ever since high school. In high school I had to take two Chemistry classes and they were absolutely boring and even though science doesn't just revolve around chemistry, high school made the image of science boring. I was always better in different subject then I was in science. I think that I enjoy being around people and I enjoy socializing with other humans and I can actually say that the study of humanism does interest me. For example, when people talk about psychology and they learn about how the brain works or why people react a certain way to a certain situation, that grabs my attention. Also, every since I was younger, I was always pictured myself being a teacher, so I enjoy being around kids, and helping them with homework or other work they might need help in. 

I think that most people have a neutral thinking about science/technology. Science/technology has both it's  positives and negatives. Some of the positivities is that technology now-a-days is so advanced that you can almost do anything with a gadget such as a smart phone. The negatives on technology is that since so many people in the U.S. have such gadgets as the smart phones, we are losing  communication skills when it comes to talking to someone face to face. I love that technology is getting more advanced day by day but I know some people feel slightly different.
