Climate Change Science 2013: Haiku

While the sources subject is not quite in relation to the subject of the arts and sciences, the
medium expresses a scientific concern through an art form. Johnson conveys each of the factors
of climate change through short haiku and related images. Each brief line is strong, assertive, and
poignant in its paced syllabic form. It is evident that this artistic exhibit is not related to the
mutuality within the commonly separated institutes of the arts and sciences; however, its form
and presentation is an example of the potential when the arts are explored in tandem with the
sciences.

Art and Science

The essay begins with a sort of introduction to the potential of the correlation between art and
science, discussing the shared factors between the two disciplines. While not as much
argumentative as he is informing of the opportunities that could arise from the association. This
work could be labeled as more background knowledge on the cases subject, as it is more difficult
to find actual fact to inform a reader of such a conceptual argument.

Arts versus Science

This paper tackles two parts of Goulds Womens Brains: the issues of gender inequality and the
significant social fissure between the arts and sciences. This was a sort of psychology research
paper, asserting that there existed a great disparage between men and women and then supplying
its assertions with data. Psychology may be argued as a far different kind of science, if Gould
were to look at the subject and this paper, from anthropometry (the argument of the validity
between soft and hard sciences could also arise from such a tension). Gould finds that the
interpretation of hard sciences data can easily be misconstrued, thus demanding that the
individual not take the scientists word at face value and evaluating the issue on their own.

Art and science: two cultures with shared values

This article is most in line with Lighmans The Art of Science. Bigsby argues that scientists are
imaginative, discovering by envisioning fiction. For instance, he asserts that NASA is full of
scientists who were inspired to become such by watching a fiction, Star Trek. Perhaps his
strongest point is that engineering is not separate from the humanities. Engineering in
particular, when compared to the humanities, is often seen as a polar opposite. In science, skeptics
to the union of arts and sciences may concede some ground in how science is about creating rules
about the unknown and can be quite abstract. However, engineering is too easily seen as
formulaic. Perhaps Jobs memoir could provide an argument against such a perception.

Tethering
In the essay, Turkle argues about the corruption that technologys presence is causing in society.
For instance, people have become increasingly more absorbed by their phones and social
networks, thus acting less a part of the physical world. As a result, Turkle fears the loss of interest
in the humanities. A counterargument could potentially contrast Turkle by claiming that the new
generations are indeed leaving the current world, but for a new one in which the humanities take
on a new form, but are still as relevant, strong, and explorative as ever. Thus, technology, as a
subset of the sciences, could become unionized with the arts.
