Her

answer the questions

Which activities are performed by Theodore and not by OS1? 
Feeling because the OS1 is just a physicalistic thing, all real can be watch and touch, feelings can not be watch or touch, the intelligence is through cabless and circuitry, touch can be made by sensor , but reacted with joy at any situation with which it is made?, I can say that Theodor interpret the dualism in the movie.

Which activities are performed by OS1 and not by Theodore?
The unique thing that  OS can do and Theodore  does not is have all that information by interconnecting cables and simulate neurons to have logical answares, but never will be natural.

What could be a physical description of the OS1?
It does not have a definite shape, it is an operating system which can behave in any electronic device and take "physical form"

Without physically describing him, which mind events are more important about Theodore?
Disgust and resentment that he has towards life in the world where he is. 

In which way this hypothetical machine is changing Theodore´s ideas?
Theodoro is falling in love for someone who is not real, an operating system extremely curious that wants to know how a human lives, she  revived Theodoro in the sense of appreciation, hope and joy to live.

Why, by the end of the film, the OS1 is not held by any moral responsability of her actions?
Because she is unable to become attached to anyone, she wan only an operating system programmed to please the person, however, she did not feel any love or remorse becaise is artificial.

What are the fundamental diferences between artificial intelligence and humans?
human intelligence is also formed by emotional aspects that allow a moral judgment and achieve a good function  in a social structure, Artifiacial intelligence.would never have a moral judgment

According to the metaphysics, why is it possible that Theodore confuses the OS1 with realityit self?
when someone finally could understand and help he fell in love forgetting that a Operating system has no feelings, and love must be mutual, so he get confused when she told him that she  must  go.

Story

Create a story in which we can see conscious and unconscious activities.

One day a couple decided to go fishing so they walked to the lake, once being in the boat threw their fishing rods,  they waited until  feel tension in the rod and then they removed the fish from the water.
 




Physicalism
Conscious activities are:
Take the decision.
Walk
Wait
Feel the tension of the road
Remove the fish from the water

Unconscious activities:
Breathe
Smell
Feel the road

Dualism:
Mental events:
Take the decision
Think on wait themoment in which remove the fish form the water
Watch the lake and think if there are a lot of fishes or not.

Physical events:
Stand in the boat balancing
Hold the rod
Strength to pull the fish
To be awake

Make the same activity to 2 classmates of second grade.
Results: both they have a dualistic thinking.
Explain if the next phrases are dualistic o physicalistic ideas. 

1. The physical world is the only kind of reality there is
physicalism because is the ontological thesis that "everything is physical", that there is "nothing over and above" the physical,or that everything supervenes on the physical.

2. The mind is something nonphysical yet real
dualism because is the position that mind is non-physical, it compares a set of views about the relationship between mind and matter,  mind is something non physical but is truth that it exists and is not physical because its job is to process things that are not tangibles, so for  that do not have to be something physical.

3. The mind is nothing more than a word that refers to the sum of those cognitive activities produced by the brain
physicalism because dualism says that reality contains both mental and material things, brain is the physic part and mind is the mental part, but physicalism see those partsas one and the phrase take the brain and mind as the same thing and that is against dualism

4. The mind and the brain interact even though they are different entities
dualism because as I have said before, for dualism the physical part and mental conform the reality, so eventough both are different, together make real all the things.

5. When I make a decision the immediate cause of this event is the physical events occurring in my brain
physicalism because the doctrine says  "matter is the sole reality" and  we can infer that,if the resulting action is real, that means that is physical, then the event which makes that possible have to be also a physical event . If the result exists, the thing which originate that result hae to be real too.

6. The act of making a mental decision is not a physical event,nor does it have a physical cause
dualism, reality is caused by the mental actions that gives rise to phisical actions

7. A physical event can be caused only by another physical event
physicalism Definitely  the only reality that exists is that one which is caused by another which exists so if it exists it is physical, because then we can touch that, , the things we are able to touch are the only ones which are real.

8. An act of my will is not a physical event, but it can cause my body to perform some physical action
Dualism, mental events cause physical evets because first the information must be process in the mental zone and then they are executed by the physical part.

9. Even if we can not accomplish this as yet, everything that a person does or thinks or feels is capable of a scientific explanation
physicalism because even without knowing the whole brain, it could be understood by the physical part, like connections of neurons or studing the parts of the brain

10. The mind and its activities will never be completely explained by the science of the brain
dualism because a mental activity can not be study with scientific aparats, mental parts can not be watch and can not be touch.






Complete the table

A1  Books  Potaotes  Shoes  Chair  Candy
B1  Love  Believes  Feelings  Hope Memories
A2  Red  Big (2 m)  Thin  5kg  Smelly
B2  Smart Optimistic Passive Persistent  Curious
A3  Walking  In front of  Under  Traveling  Surffing
B3  Reflecting Learning Asking Analyzing Remember


A2 are words which help us to describe what we see.
B2 are words that describe people´s mind.

A2 is objective, physical (body)
B2 is subjective, mind (abstract)

Taking word from  A2, B1 and A3 make sentences
 Smelly feelings under me.
 Thin memories walking.
 Big believes traveling.
 Red hope surfing.
 5 kg love in front of me.

Taking word from B2, B3 and A1 make sentences

Smart remember potatoes.
Optimistic analyzing books.
Curious reflecting shoes.
Passive asking candy.



Why is the language of physical events so different from that of mental events?
Because mental are things happening in an abstract way and we cannot describe abstract things in the same way of the physical things. The mind is a world in which the ideas are codificated  and the physical world are things that are happening and those things cannot be reply.

Activity

Which it is the goal of the activity?
To think about the existence of the sences, things and the moral and compare our conclusions with other, noting that everything is subjective.

What were the differences between talking to people I know and those who do not?
Talking with those who I  know, I just note that our answares were similar and I can see the same things since an other point of view, but when I talk with a person that I do not know so much, I could see that we defered in some things and that everyone is influenced with experiences and the people which is around, I think there is not a general law for what is real or not, it is just a way in which we watch the universe.

Which  question I can not  resolved?
Is there something that really can be experienced objectively?

Results

We analyze the group of economics and administrative sciences which was formed by 6 students.
The experiment was made successfully but I found a little drawback, we could not get everyone involved.
I realized that only three students were interested in the activity, two just watched  and one was in another world.
We needed to ask some questions which were the clue so they could achieve the goal, for the fist clue  all the group was involved and they could  get  it because of an apriory knowledge which they have experience last year on a electronic class, and with that clue Quetzali could choose the correct material, then just she and two students were trying to turn on the LED, I think that if Quetzali would not be there the students could not achieve the goal because despite they had the apriory knowledge they could not join the previous experience (know and experience how a LED turn on and what is that thing which permit turn it on) with the materials they had, Quetzali told to her classmates:  "the motor can generate energy, because of that a motor moves things" and afther all of them, except one, began to tell Quetzali that connected the LED and it turn on, once achieve the goal we asked to twisk the motor bakwards and they note that the LED did not turn on, Jonathan saw that the metalic part of the LED stick to the motor and asked us if the motor had magnets (he knew that a magnet attracts metals because he had an experience), we answered yes and Quetzali said: maybe is because of the polarity.
They could construct the new knowledge (a motor can turn on a LED) because of previous experiences, so that is the reason of why we consider that this was a way of constructivism.

Constructivism

Group`s aim: that our classmates learn who the energy is suministred to a led and that no just a battery can suminist energy

Description: the activity consist in give some materials, including a motor and a LED, then, ask the LED light, once students have achieved that we will question why the motor can light the LED and after we will help them so taht they can construct the knowlwdge which will be the reason of why a motor can turn on a LED.

Instructions:
1) Deliver 3 cables, one motor, one LED and  aluminum
2) Ask to choose materials that they think can turn the LED
3) Ask them to explain why they believe that the material they have chosen, can turn on the LED.
4) Once they have told us, tell them to use the material and try turning on the LED
6) If they can’t turn on the led explain them why
5) If the LED lights up tell them to complete their conclusion on why it lights up with the material they have chosen
 • The motor is the only material that can turn on the LED.

The method by which our classmates are learning is constructivism because they are absorbing knowledge throught the experience. 
Before can have a conclussion they needed to do it, relate it to what they have experienced before and linking that with what they are experimenting in that moment building new knowledge.
