This article positions the vogue for cybernetics as a key driver of the transformation of the institutional structures and epistemic order of Soviet technoscience that occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. The paper also suggests some important similarities in the impact of the Cold War on science and technology in the Soviet Union and the United States. This paper examines how early Soviet computing was shaped by the interplay of military and ideological forces, and affected by the attempts to 'de-ideologize' computers. While some scholars 'ideologized' science, translating scientific theories into a value-laden political language, others tried to 'de-ideologize' it by drawing a sharp line between ideology and the supposedly value-neutral, 'objective' content of science. Soviet scientists developed two opposite discursive strategies. ABSTRACT Soviet science in the post-WWII period was torn between two contradictory directives: to 'overtake and surpass' Western science, especially in defence-related fields and to 'criticize and destroy' Western scholarship for its alleged ideological flaws.

It’s impossible to say decisively what self-sabotage does or doesn’t look like, because certain habits and behaviors that can be healthy for one person can be unhealthy in another context. It is no small task, and yet it is the work that all of us must do at one point or another. We must pinpoint the traumatic event, release unprocessed emotions, find healthier ways to meet our needs, reinvent our self-image, and develop principles such as emotional intelligence and resilience. To overcome this, we must go through a process of deep psychological excavation. In reality, self-sabotage is simply the presence of an unconscious need that is being fulfilled by the self-sabotaging behavior. It appears to be a product of self-hatred, low confidence, or a lack of willpower. On the surface, self-sabotage seems masochistic. If there is an ongoing gap between where you are and where you want to be-and your efforts to close it are consistently met with your own resistance, pain, and discomfort-self-sabotage is almost always at work. There is nothing holding you back in life more than yourself. In this sense, dread can be understood as a more dominant feeling in the human nature. The difference indicates that human beings alternate between dread and addiction. According to aspects of Hobbes’s ideas on his works, nature and psychology underlie all social and individual actions in this world. This philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, lived between 1588 – 1679, draws attention to his viewpoint on the social contract among human beings, ethics, and ideal government so as to prevent any kind of bad acts that come from human beings. Thomas Hobbes is considered as a substantial English philosopher since not only his reputation still goes on, but also his ideas are on the carpet. By developing of Machiavelli’s political theory and ideas based on the government in a philosophic way that influenced the important names such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant, Thomas Hobbes, being among the founders of modern political philosophy, emphasized the importance of the social contract and the state of human nature in his well-known work called Leviathan in the 17th century.

When Emma hugs her and tells her how proud she is of her efforts to fight her disease, the mother���s reaction is to simply ���detach herself��� and simply say ���she was glad.��� Contact with her father is limited to his cameo-appearances when they share a quick sandwich or take-out food between his shifts at the hospital.Įmma feels powerless in her constant efforts to save her mother from falling prey to her fatal disease and or to stop her father from the eventuality of a nervous breakdown.

The historical shift from medicalization to biomedicalization is one from control over biomedical phenomena to transformations of them. Biomedicalization describes the increasingly complex, multisited, multidirectional processes of medicalization, both extended and reconstituted through the new social forms of highly technoscientific biomedicine. Since about 1985, dramatic changes in both the organization and practices of contemporary biomedicine, implemented largely through the integration of technoscientific innovations, have been coalescing into what the authors call biomedicalization, a second "transformation" of American medicine. In the next decades, medicalization-the expansion of medical jurisdiction, authority, and practices into new realms-became widespread. The first social transformation of American medicine institutionally established medicine by the end of World War II. The presence of her childhood companion made Ryle suspicious and abusive to Lily.
