Student: Ye Geon Date: June 8, 2020 Time: 11:00 - 11:50 am PH time Subject: TED Exploration Hi Ye Geon! Today we talked about who decides what art means. There are two philosophies on what art could mean. The first one takes into consideration the maker's original intention and considers it the only meaning for the art. However, this could be problematic since the artist may not always be around to share his plans and may refuse to share it openly. Another philosophy believes that art's meaning is based on spectators' reactions. The problem with this idea is that art could mean so many things and each individual may interpret it differently. Hence, a new philosophy emerged, saying that…

. We learned that because the body has so much redundancy you could still live a normal life with just one kidney and lung. Additionally, there are also some ody parts that can be partially or completely removed and we could still survive. We also discussed the possibility of having transplants that are made of 3D-printed tissue. See you again in class.

We have learned about different types of memory. Google is now used as a transactive memory tool. However, our reliance on it seemed to have adverse effects. How do you think
we could improve the situation? How could we avoid falling to the trap of the Google effect? See you again in class.
Student: Ye Geon Date: May 27, 2020 Time: 11:00 - 11:50 am PH time Subject: TED Exploration Hi Ye Geon! Today, we talked about the history of IQ tests. We learned that IQ tests were originally meant to identify weaknesses of students so that teachers may adjust their lessons and help them in classes. However, some people used IQ tests to segregate people and discriminate against other people. We also learned how earlier versions of IQ tests have some language bias making results unreliable. Today, the modern IQ tests have removed these language biases questions. However, as we have discussed new studies have emerged regarding multiple intelligence making IQ just one factor in the success of people. There are o…

We have learned how herd immunity could protect communities from diseases. However, waiting for herd immunity to kick in means that people need to be infected first which may lead to some fatal casualties. Hence, immunization through vaccines would be better. However, vaccines take a long time to develop amd cost millions of dollars. Additionally, not everybody takes vaccines for some reasons. This is where herd immunity steps in to protect everybody else. By reaching a certain threshold diseases are barred from spreading and pandemics and outbr…
