1. Discussion. What is the purpose of consciousness? That is,
why did consciousness evolve (or why was it created)?
(complete after reading 2.5)
1A. Discussion Reply. (Needs to reply this guy -
Femi Shah
)
Consciousness is the idea that helps people to express their
opinion felling share thoughts etc. Its deals with the activity of
brain and creates object for the material world. Consciousness
makes people alert and deal with the situation. People have
emerge mentally, physically and
psychologically. Consciuosness develops over generation to
adapt interchanging environments. People can adapt in different
environment due to consiciousness scientifically it is proved
that the theory of consciousness comes from philosophy and
religion. All the living creatures have a sense of consciousness.
The main purpose is to make people aware of their surrounding.
consciousness is also a solution for different problems.
Consciousness also changes behaviour of people in a good
manner. Consciousness boosts the confidence of people and
they often come to overcome different situations. Consciousness
helps maintain balance within ourselves and pass it on
generations. Everything that has energy consists of
consciousness. Not only humans but birds, flowers, and micro
organisms have consciousness and have proven that
consciousness is needed to adapt and exist. Animals indeed have
a sense of consciousness not as human beings but in a different
and unique manner. For example: when a mosquito sucks blood
from a person , it is only trying to feed itself but when humans
and even animals feel the sensation of bite we try to go after it
and kill it. As a result, the fly flies away due to consciousness.
There is no exact definition of consciousness but people are
aware of it. It has been carried out from generations to
generations through religion, music, and practices. The universe
exists through consciousness and the people living in it.
Consciousness is mostly about being aware of ourselves and our
surrounding.
2. Discussion. Let's say that someone who knows you well
believes he can predict everything you do and say within a 24
hour period. Without telling you what he's up to, he writes
down his prediction in great detail. As it turns out, his
predictions are correct. Does the fact that someone can
accurately predict the behavior of another show that the
behavior was determined? Explain. (complete after reading 3.1)
2A. Discussion Reply. If someone can accurately predict
someone's behavior, then one can say that his behavior was
determined. The reason why I feel this way is because thei
situation reminds me of casual determinism. Casual determinism
is the idea that every event was caused by past events and by
the laws of nature. Casual determinism is a very reliable theory
to believe in. The reason why is because it can be supported by
every branch of science, including psychology.
Speaking of science, predicting human behavior led to the
nature vs. nuture debate. Does our DNA determines our
behavior or does our upbringing determine our
behavior? Psychologists and behaviorists tried to predict human
behavior. Furthermore, some of their attempts have been
successful. For example, B.F.Skinner and his mentor, John B.
Watson, believed that how we were raised determine our future
behaviors. They proved this by experimenting on pigeons. He
was able to train his pigeons to perform any tasks by giving
them rewards. These results led them to believe that human
behavior can be predicted by how we were brought up. On the
contrary, some scientists believe that human behavior can be
solely predicted by our genetic makeup. In addition,
sociobiologists believe that human behavior can be predicted by
looking at our genes. For example, a twin study conducted by
Thomas J. Bouchard, revealed that not only can genes shape our
physical characteristics ,but it can also shape our mental
characteristics as well, such as personality, personal interests,
and social attitudes. Although having the proper environment is
crucial to genes, genes do play a major role on the way we think
and act. It is certain that both nature an nuture play a huge role
in determining human behavior.
In essence, if a psychologist could have been able to predict
someone else's behavior, then the behavior was determined. If
a sociobiologist could have predicted someone's behavior, then
the behavior was determined. Thus, if a knowledgeable person
was able to accurately predict someone's behavior, then that
behavior was determined. Casual determinism can perfectly
explain that human behaviors are caused by past events and by
the laws of nature.

Let's say that someone who knows you well believes he can predict everything you do and say within a 24 hour period. Without telling you what he's up to, he writes down his prediction in great detail. As it turns out, his predictions are correct. Does the fact that someone can accurately predict the behavior of another show that the behavior was determined? Explain. (complete after reading 3.1) 2A. Discussion Reply. If someone can accurately predict someone's behavior, then one can say that his behavior was determined. The reason why I feel this way is because thei situation reminds me of casual determinism. Casual determinism is the idea that every event was caused by past events and by the laws of nature. Casual determinism is a very reliable theory to believe in. The reason why is because it can be supported by every branch of science, including psychology. Speaking of science, predicting human behavior led to the nature vs. nuture debate. Does our DNA determines our behavior or does our upbringing determine our behavior? Psychologists and behaviorists tried to predict human behavior. Furthermore, some of their attempts have been successful. For example, B.F.Skinner and his mentor, John B. Watson, believed that how we were raised determine our future behaviors. They proved this by experimenting on pigeons. He was able to train his pigeons to perform any tasks by giving them rewards. These results led them to believe that human behavior can be predicted by how we were brought up. On the
  • 3. contrary, some scientists believe that human behavior can be solely predicted by our genetic makeup.
