The human brain contains about half as many individual cells as our galaxy has stars (Voytek). There are over 7.4 billion humans living on Earth now (“Population”). Each human brain interacts with the others in a unique way and provides unique things to its community. With their great size and great social interconnectedness, human brains have evolved two especially notable traits: the ability to reason and the ability to empathize. The power of reason is our strongest, and it is what has enabled us to dominate the Earth.

Inside and beyond the myth and the social impact of the subject as One or Substance. Alan H. Goldman’s essay ‘Plain Sex’ is a central contribution to the academic debate about sex within the analytic area, which has been developing since the second half of the ‘90s in Western countries. Goldman’s purpose is encouraging debate on the concept of sex without moral, social and cultural implications or superstitious superstructures. He attempts to define “sexual desire” and “sexual activity” in its simplest terms, by discovering the common factor of all sexual events, i.e. “the desire for physical contact with another person’s body and for the pleasure which such contact produces; sexual activity is activity which tends to fulfill such desire of the agent” (Goldman, A., 1977, p 40).

I would that the most accurate mate selection theory is the complementary-needs theory. I believe that this theory is the most accurate because a marriage will last longer if the couple complements each other's personality quirks. This theory states that, “individuals select a mate whose personality and needs are opposite and complementary to their own” (Knox & Schacht, 2013, p. 164). I have noticed that with the relationships or marriages of family members and friends in my life that there is more of a balance in the relationship with each person complements one another. Even though this is true for marriages that each person should complement each other's personalities, this is also true for any type of relationships.

Defining intelligence is a very difficult proposition and one which Alan Turing attempted to avoid answering as regards machine intelligence in the Imitation Game which has become known as the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). He posed the question “Can machines think?” which is he developed to ask if machines are able to converse in a way that can persuade humans they too are human. A machine is declared to have passed the test if human judges are unable to tell the difference between a human and a computer through a typed conversation. He suggested that a machine that persuades 70 per cent of human judges after five minutes of conversation should be deemed to have passed the test.
