Text for question.

    The elevation of scientific discourse to a major component in the project of modernity and the Eurocentrism inherent in the Western scientific enterprise have aided both the development of racial hierarchies and the creation of the long-enduring myth of science as an impartial, pure and value-free endeavour, superior to other peoples’ modes of thinking. It is also to be argued that it is one thing to ‘discover’, identify, categorise and classify plants, beetles as well as peoples, but quite another to transform such categories and classifications into hierarchies that suggest stratification in terms of social and moral inferiority. The process of categorisation would then not in itself be normative, but rather evaluative attributions would be based upon moral and social preferences, subjective value judgements and the striving for political power.
    The conundrum of the conceptual status and the socio-political consequences of the Enlightenment has not been resolved satisfactorily. Yet there now exists agreement on some parameters. The consensus is that scientific racism, racial medicine and colonial rule were for a time closely linked, variously reinforced and justified each other. Claims to racial superiority and Western scientific and medical hegemony are seen to have emerged alongside each other in the wake of the Enlightenment, culminating eventually not only in scientifically based racism in the nineteenth century and racial medicine in the twentieth century, but also in the perceived enhancement and legitimisation of colonial expansion by reference to medical and scientific progress. The interrelatedness of race, science and medicine, and its extension to the colonial realm during the nineteenth century, in particular, therefore constitutes one major focus for work and research.

     Space medicine is an emerging field that blends emergency care, physiology, psychology and toxicology to help astronauts manage the health challenges of space flight. Its key focus is understanding how the body responds in the absence of gravity. In space, astronauts live in microgravity, a state of near weightlessness caused by continuous free fall while orbiting the planet.
     Although gravity is still present, its effects are greatly diminished. Fluids move upward, muscles weaken and bones lose mass. These changes can disrupt normal body function in ways that are still being studied.
     “Microgravity is not an environment we evolved for,” says Dr. Lisa McNamee, who works with space medicine. “It acts like a stress test on the body, and that tells us things about human physiology that we’d never discover in a lab,” she adds.
     Other risks include radiation, pressure changes, disrupted sleep cycles, lunar dust and g-forces. These forces, caused by changes in acceleration, can place added strain on the body.

Amtrak’s National Route System interpreted by Edel Rodriguez

The artist Edel Rodriguez used cigar boxes to make his interpretation of the Amtrak’s national route system in his artwork.


“I grew up with the idea of the American Dream,” explains artist Edel Rodriguez, when talking about his interpretation of Amtrak’s national route map for The National. “My family spoke about it constantly. For me, it’s very real.”

Rodriguez has reason to be preoccupied with one of the founding mythologies of America. As a young boy in Cuba, he and his family, in search of a better life, took advantage of the Mariel boatlift – the six-and-a-half-month period in 1980 when Fidel Castro’s government allowed its citizens to immigrate to the United States.

Rodriguez, now in his mid-40s, nods to that immigration story with his use of cigar boxes. “They’re a little illicit and not from this country, and they represent the coexistence of immigrants within the U.S.,” he says, adding that the boxes also evoke memories of the grandfather he left behind, who was a heavy cigar smoker. The red thread he uses for the route lines is a nod to his mother’s occupation as a seamstress.

In nearly every way, Rodriguez has realized his American dream. After another emigration, this time from Miami to Brooklyin’s Pratt Institute in 1990, he quickly made his name as a singularly conceptual illustrator. In 1996, at age 26, he was named Time magazine’s art director for its Latin American and Canadian publications, the youngest in its history. And in 2016, he was named one of AdAge’s 50 Most Creative People and won the American Society of Magazine Editors’ Cover of the Year.


This is an adaptation of the text by Nathan Pemberton, extracted from The National, The National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) magazine, August – September 2017

Children and media in the U.S. - Statistics & Facts

Published by Statista Research Department, Mar 24, 2022


   Today’s children don’t know a world without smartphones and the internet. They are growing up in an age where entertainment and information is always at the tip of their fingers. It is no surprise, then, that they spend a considerable amount of their time with technology each day. Television still remains the media of choice among young children, with kids younger than 8 spending 45 minutes watching television each day. Nearly 40 percent of parents report that their child owns a smartphone, and significant percentages have access to television in their rooms.

   The viewing habits of teenagers are somewhat different than those of younger children; an increasing number of teens are watching their television online, through the use of a subscription video-on-demand service.

   In addition to the various digital entertainment sources, reading remains popular as a more traditional source of media and entertainment among children in the United States. As of 2017, 31 percent of parents stated that their child reads or is read to several times per day.

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER


We all have too much work to do and too little time to do it. Managing your time is a challenge, but the secret is to work smarter not harder.


First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.


Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but also get good quality sleep.


Exercise is important too. In fact, exercising can make you feel more awake than having a cup of coffee. In addition, exercise makes you feel happier, and happy people work better!


Finally, do the right work at the right time. Certain experts say you should do your most difficult piece of work first. After you’ve finished that, you’ll feel ready to do almost any other job on your to-do list. But other experts say the opposite; they suggest starting with something simple. Doing that will make you feel successful and ready to do your next job.

First, know when to work. When are you most awake? When are you sleepy? Some people work better at night, others first thing in the morning. You should do creative work or complicated work when you are at your best. When you’re not at your best, you should do jobs which don’t need a lot of thinking, like reading emails or calling a colleague.


Second, eat and sleep well to work well. Have you ever had a large lunch and felt so sleepy that you couldn’t think? It’s better to eat small amounts of food several times a day than eat two or three large meals. A large meal at night can have a bad effect on your sleep quality and your ability to think. It’s important to not only get enough sleep but also get good quality sleep.


Exercise is important too. In fact, exercising can make you feel more awake than having a cup of coffee. In addition, exercise makes you feel happier, and happy people work better!


Finally, do the right work at the right time. Certain experts say you should do your most difficult piece of work first. After you’ve finished that, you’ll feel ready to do almost any other job on your to-do list. But other experts say the opposite; they suggest starting with something simple. Doing that will make you feel successful and ready to do your next job.
