Knowledge, Information and Experience
Brain has three main parts:
1.The cerebrum fills up most of your skull. It is involved in remembering, problem solving, thinking, and feeling. …
2.The cerebellum sits at the back of your head, under the cerebrum. It controls coordination and balance.
3.The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum.
Human beings possess a capability far beyond animals. Many ideas exist to explain the Brain, but few understand the truth.
Unique to Humans:
Consider just a few of the qualities man possesses that are unique among all living creatures. Many attributes are so common and assumed that few give them much thought. Yet it should become clear how special human beings are.
1. Self-consciousness: Beyond a simple recognition of self (as seen in a few animals), man can step back and become a spectator, critic or admirer of the world around him.
2. Appreciation of beauty: Man is able to appreciate all kinds of beauty. This can be as simple as a sunset, a work of art, or the intricate design of a flower.
3. Humor: No other creature is able to appreciate, create and express humor. Not only does it require creativity, but humor also requires the ability to detach oneself from one’s surroundings to see the odd, surreal or ironic.
4. Awareness of death: While animals have a survival instinct, man is able to consider that he will one day die.
5. Understanding time: Animals are only able to relate time to themselves. They have no ability of relating time to third parties. Humans can wonder, speculate and search the annals of history for lessons, and apply those lessons to goals far into the future.
6. Meaning of life: The simple act of asking about life’s meaning and purpose makes man unique.
7. Malleability: Humanity is able to adapt to its surroundings. We wear clothes, build shelters, and modify our environments to suit our needs.
8. A sense of morality: Animals always take the path of least resistance. They do not have a conscience or sense of right and wrong. On the other hand, mankind will go so far as to control his thoughts based on what he considers right or wrong.
9. Capacity for wisdom: Without the ability to place themselves in time, animals are unable to weigh situations with previous experiences. While animals can develop behavioral patterns based on positive or negative stimulation, they are completely unable to analyze actions before they are performed. This ability, known as wisdom, is unique to human beings.
