Could learning architecture through the process of building a house, an essential part of modern society, be as simple as stacking Lego blocks?

C

This article explores the need for a ‘home’, the most important of our ritualistic dwellings, and the complexity and importance of the architecture required to build it, and the idea of how great it would be if building a home could be as easy as building Lego blocks. It explores the interest in and study of architectural installations, and how architecture is more than just a...

I am a proud person, but there have been many times when I felt wrong or regretted my behavior. Some...

How will advances in cyborg engineering change the identity and nature of humanity and herald the birth of a new species?

H

A look at the development of humanity from the Cognitive Revolution to the Scientific Revolution, and a discussion of the future, where advances in cyborg engineering are enhancing human capabilities and raising the possibility of a new species.   About 70,000 years ago, the Homo sapiens species began to make rapid advances, creating cultures and pioneering history. The development of...

Why does following laws and rules in an increasingly complex world benefit both individuals and society?

W

Using examples from the group activity, explain that as the world has become more complex, people have created laws and rules to fulfill different needs, and that following them is a way to promote both social stability and individual interests.   The world has become complex. In ancient times, people lived simply to survive, but as time went on, humans wanted more and more and tried to...

How can nanoparticles pinpoint cancer cells, enable targeted treatment, and reduce the side effects of conventional chemotherapy?

H

Cancer treatment using nanoparticles has been gaining attention as a revolutionary technology that can precisely target cancer cells and minimize the side effects of conventional cancer treatments.   In today’s busy world, a healthy body is essential.

If science and technology make eternal life possible, will humans truly be happier, or will they lose the value of death and become unhappy?

I

Even if technological advances make eternal life possible, humans will not be happier because of it. Death gives life purpose and meaning, and eternal life risks dulling our ability to feel happy and increasing social inequality.   Every living being will die someday. Despite numerous past attempts to overcome death, all humans have died and will continue to die. Death marks an end to our...

Will the evolution of Homo sapiens lead to its demise through physical change, or will ethical constraints prevent it?

W

Homo sapiens has developed intelligence and technology as a result of evolution, but its future evolution may lead to its demise through physical changes. Whether biotechnology will evolve into new forms of existence or whether ethical discourse will inhibit the process is a matter of debate.   All living things evolve to survive in their environment. Throughout evolution, organisms have...

Why are metallic materials considered an important area of study in materials engineering, what is their historical background and modern applications?

W

Metallic materials are an important area of study in materials engineering due to their long history and diverse physical properties. They also have great potential for modern applications, such as finding ways to make metals harder and more durable, and developing new materials using nanotechnology. Understanding the properties and applications of these metallic materials can help solve a wide...

Should embryonic stem cell research continue at the risk of bioethical issues and research safety?

S

It is argued that embryonic stem cell research should be stopped due to bioethical concerns and research safety issues. Embryos should be respected as living beings with the potential to differentiate into human beings and should not be subjected to the risks of incomplete research. Instead, alternatives such as adult stem cell research should be used to advance biotechnology.   Science and...

Why is altruistic behavior rare in human society, but still important?

W

This article explains why altruistic behavior is rare in humans from an evolutionary perspective and discusses how the reciprocity hypothesis suggests that altruistic behavior is actually for mutual benefit. In doing so, it highlights the continued importance of altruistic behavior in human society and nature.   Thick, thick, thick, I’ll give you my old house, I’ll give you a new...
