Short-Term Memory

Short-term memory is the center of consciousness, encompassing all thoughts, experiences, or information within a given period. Its duration is typically 15 to 20 seconds, or a maximum of 30 seconds. After this period, information is lost if not consolidated.

Information must be consolidated from short-term memory to long-term memory. Conversely, retrieving information from long-term memory requires transferring it back to short-term memory for use.

Long-Term Memory

Long-term memory is the lifelong repository of all the information we accumulate. Due to its unlimited capacity and duration, it is the richest and most complex memory structure, but also the most challenging to investigate.

While short-term memory is based on the physical... Continue reading "Understanding Memory: Short-Term, Long-Term, and Disorders" »

Changes in the Musculoskeletal System During Aging

During aging, there is a loss of bone mass, decreased muscle strength, osteoarticular changes, an increase in reaction time, and decreased speed of movement.

Accidental Changes

When these changes are substantial, the substance is generated and is corrupted. Matter also includes the absolutely indeterminate concept, certainly a subject very close to that area from the Platonic demiurge that configured sensitive objects in the world according to the models of ideas.

Ends and Goods

There are many ends and goods, some of which are subject in a chain to more important ones. The supreme good that we would like to achieve by itself does make a supreme good, there are no others. This is the type of interpretation of happiness.

Three Interpretations of Happiness

• Happiness equals pleasure (vulgar nature)
• Happiness in political or public life, glory, and seeking honor
• Happiness in contemplative or intellectual knowledge

The... Continue reading "Aristotle's Philosophy: Matter, Happiness, Virtue, and Politics" »

4. Common Market: This is a customs union in which there is also a free flow of factors of production.
5. Economic Union: This means a complete common market with coordinated macroeconomic policy and the implementation of common economic policies.
6. Monetary Union: All currencies of

Causes of Conflict

1. A new world order emerged from World War I.
2. The Treaty of Versailles stimulated revenge instead of creating reconciliation.
3. The crisis of 1929 favored the emergence of fascism: Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany developed aggressive foreign policies driven by economic needs (Hitler) and prestige (Mussolini).
4. The armaments race among fascist powers created a climate of tension in Europe.
5. Democracies remained outside of global problems:
   • The U.S. was isolated.
   • Other powers were preoccupied with their own internal problems (increased unemployment, social unrest).
6. The failure of the League of Nations.

Modernism

Modernism, a poetic movement, was introduced by Rubén Darío, heavily influenced by the French Symbolists, including Verlaine and Mallarmé.

Rubén Darío came to Spain as an American delegate during the Colombian centenary celebrations. By this time, he had achieved success with his poetry collection, Azul. After living in Paris, where he was influenced by symbolist writers, he adapted their styles to Castilian. He wrote Prosas Profanas. Upon his return to Spain in 1899, he was already considered a master by young Spanish writers, who were captivated by the magical sound of his verse.

Rubén Darío sparked a genuine renewal in Spanish literature, incorporating symbolic forms, contrasting with the realistic art of the Restoration writers,... Continue reading "Spanish Modernism: Literary Movements and Influences" »
