Please attempt to link your thoughtful responses to the experiences provided in your clinical

experiences, online meetings, your psychotherapeutic readings and the other related materials

as well as what is happening in your day to day life to your journals Think about and reflect

upon how the ideas discussed and read can be incorporated into your individual practice and

develop your reflective entry around this. The purpose of this assignment is to challenge the

student to reflect on contextual matter, how this interplays with their future vision of their

practice and their interface with barriers to optimal care. Ethical and moral dilemmas may

also be a part of your reflection and observations. This is a feeling assignment. Reflect on how

you are feeling about clinicals and readings. Please limit journal entries to about one page

each. linking thoughts and feelings to clinical experiences or readings

will provide a richer and more structured path to your journaling. It is appropriate to write

from a first person perspective in reflective journals. It is not necessary to use APA citations

to support your framework and/or evidence based practice. Creative methods to present a

reflective log in alternate ways may be negotiated by individual students in the first week of

the course.

Sample Solution

Secondly, Descartes states that machines cannot act meaningfully in unforeseen circumstances. It is not entirely impossible for a machine to be created where its algorithms give it the capability to create meaningful conversation in unpredicted circumstances, paralleling the human experience of learning. For example, chatbot programs like Cleverbot ‘learns’ from its conversations with people. It stores information in a database and mimics past human responses in future conversations.

However, despite Descartes’ argument weakened in the face of technological advancement, the crux of his argument should not be invalidated. His rules to test the meaningful use of language and reasoning abilities are more appealing to our intuition than Turing’s. In the Turing test, there is no need for an immaterial thinking substance. The test is rather clinical, disregarding qualities like emotions or motivation that sets us apart from machines. These qualities, the act of thinking about something is known as intentionality, and is discussed by Searle. I will present his argument below.

Searle’s Chinese Room offers a different perspective. The thought experiment is a scenario where a person in a room receives papers with Chinese on them. He also receives an English instruction book that contains rules, aiding the person to match a set of characters to another to from meaningful responses. When his replies are taken out of the room, they are no different from native Chinese speakers (Searle:144). The process parallels computer process, where Turing’s machine has inputs and outputs and symbol matching. There is no difference between the role of the computer and the person. Each follows a program, and mimics behaviour.
