Reflection About Chemistry

1095 Words5 Pages

Chemistry is the study of everything. Usually, what comes to mind when we hear chemistry is a laboratory filled with equipment and tools that are related to Chemistry. However, this is not how and what Chemistry really is. When we were younger, we were taught about the basics of Chemistry; what it is and how is it important to life. We know that chemicals are tied with Chemistry, just by the name itself we can derive that connection. Chemicals are related to matter, not only that but everything around us is. We have encountered the study of matter since we were younger for we were taught about it. Now, what is Matter? From what I can remember in the past years that I have encountered the study of Science, it is anything that has space and …show more content…

Being a complicated world that it is, many Scientists, Chemists, and people who are interested in the study of Science, engage themselves with the complicated world of Chemistry. Questions would arise in our minds as to why these people would attach themselves with Chemistry. The answer is pretty simple. This is because everything around us has to do with Chemistry, as what I have mentioned earlier. We may not be well aware of it but everything around us is related to Chemistry. Since this is a complicated world, trying to understand everything about Chemistry would confuse our thoughts but having enough knowledge about it would be good for us. This is when the people who are associated with Chemistry then come. These people make this branch of science easier by providing us examples as to how and why Chemistry is applied and how it relates to our everyday lives. Instances and experiences are shared around so that people would have a good grasp on the study of Chemistry, its benefits and significance in our lives. Based on the video, “100 Greatest Discoveries Episode 3 Chemistry | Documentary” that we had to watch for this reflection, there were many great discoveries in our world …show more content…

However, let us not let these complications hinder us from studying Chemistry. Chemistry has a lot to do with the environment around us. It is connected and related with our life because without it, we would not come to realize how the world works in mysterious ways. Based on the knowledge that I have about Chemistry from past experiences, lessons, experiments and all the years that I was associated with it, I can definitely say that it is really important in our life. Chemistry, definitely is not a boring science at all if you just engage yourself more with it and understand more about

    So we see that not only was his teachings and inventions fundamental to the field of chemistry, but also that of biology. Though Pauling was typically not involved in political matters and preferred to keep his views to himself, during WWII, Pauling's focus on his work faded and he took time to become a very involved activist. He took a public stance against war and the use of nuclear weapons while advocating for international diplomacy through the United Nations. He would later be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his crusade against nuclear-weapons testing. In his later years, Pauling became a

    Educational Inconsistency I remember the first experience in a true science course, it was nerve racking and overflowed with mysteries; I loved it and that has not changed since. This current semester in college, I decided to enroll in both Biology 112 and Chemistry 111 expecting my prior biology knowledge to assist in making chemistry easier; however, I quickly learned that I was mistaken. After a few weeks, I learned that some information from biology differed from the information in chemistry; even the most simplistic topics were completely different along with their corresponding vocabulary and definitions! How can two relating science classes differ so much?

    In the talk, “Adventures in Organic Chemistry – Over Three Decades of Synthetic Organic Chemistry” presented by Dr. Chris Condeiu, he tried to relate the industry of organic chemistry to a students’ perspective. Three major points were drawn out through the talk. The first was the perspective of how capitalism drives the industry and the mechanism of doxycycline was formed. With an overview of his talk, the expectation was that a deeper understanding of how pharmaceutical drugs’ mechanisms are formed; instead, an insight of how the pharmaceutical industry can make one prosperous or just benefit the industry as a whole. Starting with the point about how capitalism governs the pharmaceutical industry, this relates to society in general.

    Many people do not realize that chemistry is a part of our day to day lives. One specific thing we see on a daily basis is the colors and paint people use in paintings, on buildings, and any other place paint could be. When this paint is developed, the people who make it have to decide exactly what the compound should be made up of. This is an important thing to consider when making these paints because as discussed in Chemistry 101 lab, compounds are different things that develop one item, in this case it is paint. They have to make sure that the paint is homogenous because if it was heterogeneous when being applied, the paint would not go on well.

  • Psychology Reflection

    Psychology is defined as “the scientific study of the mind and behavior” (Introduction to Psychology, 2015). Psychology provides an overview of biology and behavior, sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence, language, motivation, emotion, abnormal psychology, and therapy (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 1). Because psychology allows for a better understanding of how the mind and body work, this knowledge can be beneficial for any field of study or career. The theoretical and practical understanding of the basics of psychology can help with decision-making, critical thinking, stress management, time management, better understanding of others, improving communication, and even achieving goals and objectives, all components that allow someone to be more successful throughout their life. Throughout this course I hope to gain a greater understanding of historical and theoretical perspectives of human behavior and development (PSY 102 Course Syllabus, 2018, pg 2).
