Self-driving cars utilize advanced technologies such as cameras, radar, and GPS to drive themselves and provide features such as collision avoidance, parking, and route navigation. However, technical errors, legal issues, and concerns about hacking will limit their popularization.   People are very interested in self-driving cars. How can a car drive itself? Self-driving cars are one of the...

After the 2016 incident in which an artificial intelligence defeated a Go champion, there has been a lot of discussion in the medical community about whether advances in artificial intelligence will replace doctors as a profession. While diagnostic systems such as IBM’s Watson are rapidly advancing, the role of the doctor is still important, and AI will serve as an auxiliary tool.   In...

Drawing on Edison’s famous aphorism, we examine whether human personality and behavior are more strongly influenced by genes or the environment. While genetic determinism and environmental determinism have long been pitted against each other, epigenetics emphasizes that the two interact.   Edison’s quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% hard work” is a very famous aphorism...

Patrick Süskind’s novel Perfume explores issues of genius and imitation in 18th-century France, and is emblematic of how trends and innovation work in the modern world.

  This article explains the definition and purpose of statutes of limitations, and discusses their adverse effects, especially for serious crimes. It argues that advances in forensic science and technology have led to the need to abolish statutes of limitations, and that institutional changes are needed to heal the wounds of crime victims and ensure justice is served.   What is a...

Neurocriminology attempts to predict criminals based on their genetic and physical characteristics, but it can lead to human rights violations and ethical issues. Since crime is more influenced by environment and free will than genetics, it is argued that the focus should be on post-mortem analysis rather than crime prevention.   In the movie Minority Report, three prophets predict future...

This article argues against the idea that criminals are molded by their innate genes, arguing that acquired environmental factors have a greater impact. Using national crime rates, genetic modifiability, and epigenetics, this article provides evidence that acquired factors play an important role in criminogenesis and explores how society might respond to future neuroimaging technologies.  ...

Body armor and bulletproof helmets are made of Kevlar, a high-strength synthetic fiber that is five times stronger than steel. However, Kevlar’s protective properties weaken at high temperatures, and it has limited protection against rifle bullets and hard impacts.   Watching war movies made me question this. How well can bulletproof vests and helmets protect us on the battlefield when...

The addictive nature of marijuana and its negative effects, especially on young people, cannot be ignored. For the health of the country and the future of young people, the legalization of marijuana is justified, and a hasty legalization could lead to a number of social problems.   In recent years, drug crimes have become more sophisticated, and the legalization of marijuana is an ongoing...
