The Sociology of Providing for Others DESCRIPTION:Psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) defined a hierarchy of needs that motivate human behavior. The most basic of needs are associated with survival\, namely those that answer the question\, “How Will I Live?” These basic needs include breathing\, eating and drinking\, finding shelter\, clothing\, and warmth\, sex\, and sleep. Once these are met\, there are safety needs\, including security\, order\, law\, stability\, and freedom from fear. \nConsidering the importance to each individual of gaining access to the resources needed to achieve these needs\, it is small wonder that leaders of societies have developed a variety of ways to control these resources and thereby control members of their society. Bear in mind then that “providing for others” can have both positive and negative connotations for those being provided access to necessary resources. \nIn this presentation and discussion\, we will explore the sociology\, that is the social behavior\, interactions\, and relationships\, associated with the control of these resources\, including the institutions of \n—land ownership \n—employment \n—marriage \n—expanded families and population control \n—gangs \n—nursing homes and other social institutions \n—social services such as the military and religious orders \n—political systems such as totalitarianism\, aristocracy\, oligarchy\, theocracy\, colonialism\, a republic or democracy\, socialism\, and communism \n—restricting privileges like travel and voting \n—liberty \n—patronage \n—feudalism \n—slavery \n—nomadic and hunter-gatherer cultures \n—[Have I missed one?]   \n  \nCovering the entire scope of this topic is a tall order for the single hour we will be together\, but I hope the presentation and discussion will spark your interest in exploring this further. \n  \n\nPresentation by Dr. Phil Youngblood \n  \n \n\n\n\nDr. Phil Youngblood\n\n\nPrevious lectures on film\n\n\nPodcast\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first. \n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://www.sciencecircle.org/event/how-will-i-live/ LOCATION:Auditorium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/2022-09-03.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220903T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220903T120000 DTSTAMP:20260406T065414 CREATED:20220901T090457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220903T121308Z UID:11585-1662202800-1662206400@www.sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:LIVE: Artemis I Moon Mission Launch DESCRIPTION:NASA is targeting 2:17 p.m. EDT on Saturday\, Sept. 3\, for the launch of Artemis I\, the first integrated test of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket\, Orion spacecraft\, and the ground systems at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. There is a two-hour launch window for the next attempt. \nThe Artemis I flight test is an uncrewed mission around the Moon that will pave the way for a crewed flight test and future human lunar exploration as part of Artemis. \n  URL:https://www.sciencecircle.org/event/live-artemis-i/ LOCATION:Auditorium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.sciencecircle.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Artemis-launch.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220903T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220903T220000 DTSTAMP:20260406T065414 CREATED:20220811T052336Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220814T093743Z UID:11503-1662238800-1662242400@www.sciencecircle.org SUMMARY:The Webb Telescope DESCRIPTION:The Webb Telescope\nNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy\, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. Webb’s powerful infrared gaze produced this detailed image of the Cartwheel and two smaller companion galaxies against a backdrop of many other galaxies. This image provides a new view of how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.  \nNext steps\nThe observatory has a packed schedule of science programs looking at all kinds of cosmic phenomena\, like planets\, stars\, galaxies\, black holes\, and more. Webb will revolutionize our understanding of the universe — but first\, researchers need time to analyze data and make sure that they understand what they’re seeing.  \n What are your expectations of this revolutionary telescope? What questions could we start answering? Which photo appeals to you the most?  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

However\, all the amyloid therapeutics that have been tried\, failed. This has been confusing. Recently\, it was reported that the data for the amyloid plaque theory were probably falsified. Join us to discuss where Alzheimer’s research should go now and the implications of a lost decade of research due to flawed science and possible malfeasance. \nAlzheimer’s study controversy: What does it mean for future research? \nWhat an Alzheimer’s Controversy Reveals About the Pressures of Academia (possible paywall) \nAt an international meeting\, Alzheimer’s researchers are assessing what comes next \nShocking SCIENTIFIC FRAUD allegations against major medical research \n  \nA discussion hosted by Matt Burr at the Light house Cafe  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

Are you a woman in both worlds or a man who uses a female avatar? What happened to you so far and how do you deal with it? Or do you perhaps feel safer in Second Life than in the physical world? Are you a man who has ever used a female avatar\, what was your experience like? Did it perhaps give you insights?  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.

The phenomenon of magnetic resonance was initially discovered by physicists\, after which chemists turned the basic science into NMR\, an essential tool for probing the structure and dynamics of molecules.  In a classic story of how science works\, physicists\, chemists\, and physicians are all responsible for the initial and continuing development of MRI\, and the story of these connections provides a classic glimpse of how science works and of the occasional controversies associated with Nobel Prizes. \nThis presentation describes the path from molecular beams studied in vacuum to probe fundamental properties of matter all the way to the widespread use of non-invasive MRI to diagnose an impressive range of medical conditions.  In addition\, on the research front we’ll look at the use of MRI to pursue the tantalizing question of ‘what is thought.’ Along the way we’ll also talk about why the scanner makes a banging noise that many who have experienced liken to a jackhammer. \n  \nPresentation by Natalie Foster // Prof. Emerita: Chemistry Dept. // Lehigh University  \n  \nIs this the first time you will attend a presentation with us?\nFollow this link first.
