The Pursuit :: Personal Narrative Science Movies Papers
The Pursuit There are many things that I hate about science. I hate it because I do not always understand it. I hate it because I always get bad grades in it. I hate it because it is so complex and there are so many technical terms associated with it. There are however, some good points. I only like science when I can understand it, and that is only in a way in which it seems common sense to me. For example, in Emily Martin's article, The Body at War: Media Views of the Immune System, she wrote about the immune system in a way that I could understand it, and that was by using images of war and of the police. I also like all the mysterious stuff that is associated with science. It is quite intriguing to me to think about all the wonders that are left to be explored. In addition, being a science fiction and Japanese animation freak, I like all the crazy things that both portray. In both Japanese anime and science fiction shows or movies, there is no limit to what science can do. They show us thing s that are perhaps possible or impossible when we take a look at it through scientists' eyes. That is why I cannot help to think about the question, should the pursuit of scientific knowledge be boundless? In the movie, the Emperor Strikes Back, we saw Luke Skywalker in a healing tank after being defeated by this wooly monster in an ice cave. This water in the healing tank acted like an antiseptic, and healed his whole body while giving him all the fluids he needed without an IV. As far as I know, there is no technology like that anywhere, and if there were, I would sure like to know where it is. So then as I watch my Star Wars, The Terminator, Matrix, Dragon Ball Z, and other science fiction or anime shows, I begin to ask myself many questions about the possibility of making androids or traveling faster than the speed of light or other imaginable things. Then of course, after all my excitement dies down at the end of the show, I begin to wonder whether scientists out there are trying to find scientific answers to the things we see in these types of shows because it seems as though there is no limit to this exploring.
