But here’s an interesting question: if the mind-body connection is so strong, and the mind can so easily change the body, wouldn’t the reverse be true? Can the body change the mind? That is, can we use the body as a tool to change our thoughts and feelings? According to social psychologist, Amy Cuddy, the answer is yes.
The Context of Culture
The difference between low and high context communication can perhaps be illustrated in the following example. Let’s say you meet someone for the very first time. You know nothing about each other, so you have to spend many hours talking and asking questions in order get to know each other. That’s pretty low context communication. But let’s say you’ve been married for 30 years. You don’t even need to talk in order to communicate. One look from across the room and you know exactly what your wife or husband is thinking, and nobody else can understand. That’s high context communication.
Multiple Intelligences
What does it mean to be intelligent? Have you ever heard someone say, “What an intelligent guy!” or “I wish I had her intelligence.” Well, usually we think of intelligent people as being really smart, you know, they score well on tests, get good grades in school, and solve difficult problems easily.

Human vs Computer
Can you tell the difference between a computer and a human? As computers become more intelligent, it will become more difficult to say which is which. In 1950, a scientist named Alan Turing predicted that machines would one day become intelligent and able to think. He made a test called the Turing test. According to this test, a machine is intelligent, if it can fool people into thinking it is human.

Dr. Patrick Byrne is one of the world’s top plastic surgeons in the world and Sherrie’s doctor. He had the idea to grow a replacement ear on Sherrie’s arm. The doctor took tissue from her rib and molded it into the shape of an ear. The tissue was then put under the skin of her arm to grow for months.

Should You Eat Like a Caveman?
So what’s the alternative to the food pyramid? Enter the Paleo Diet! Nicknamed the Caveman Diet, the Paleo Diet gets rid of the Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta group entirely! Supporters of this diet argue that grains are actually foods that humans have only been eating for a very short time: only a few thousand years, back when we started farming. And because these foods are so new, our bodies haven’t had time to fully adapt to them. In some ways, they are foreign substances.
