The 5 Senses
The results when I asked people what sense would they rather lose were as follows: two people for hearing, two people for taste, and then one person for touch. The two people who choose hearing had about the same explanation for why they lose that one. The two people that also choose taste also had the same explanation for choosing to lose that sense. I was surprised when I asked the fifth person which they would rather lose an they choose touch, because for me, that is one I would hate to lose. Person one for hearing said that she would rather lose hearing because at this point in her life she already knows how to talk because she grew up hearing, and that if she needed to she can always use ASL to communicate with others. She also stated that it would be difficult because she does love music so much, but she figured she would still be able too feel the beat to the music. The other person who choose hearing was because he ruled out all the other ones, there was no way he would give any of the other senses because he felt like they were a bigger part of his life. He also stated that he already knew how to talk, and since texting is such a big part of every ones life now, it would not be as hard to get used to that instead of talking on the phone. Both Persons one and two that would rather lose taste had the same exact reason for choosing this one, and they were almost word for word the same. They would both like to choose taste over the other four senses because they think they would be more inclined to eat healthier and make better choices regarding food if they did not have to taste stuff that is healthy for them. They also felt that it was something extra that we do not have any particular need for it besides when we are eating food. Person number one was stuck between smell and taste but ruled smell out because they figured it was important in the sense, that if their was a fire they would be able to smell it. The person that stated that they would

    Sensory loss is defined as a decreased ability to respond to stimuli that affect our senses( hearing, touch, etc) For example, vision loss might mean that we cannot see a person across the street wave at us, or hearing loss might result in us struggling to hear people speaking in a certain tone of voice. Sensory loss is inevitable, but that does not mean that adults who are losing one or more senses have no options available to them.…

    To be without the ability to see, there are technological aids to make up for it. A machine, Scriptalk, reads prescription bottle labels to let the patient know what is within and how to take it and audible books would allow for enjoying books without sight, just to name a few ways to adapt in today’s society. Likewise, to be deaf has adaptations. If I lacked my sense of smell, it would affect my taste, as they are linked; there are surgical advancements that can help alleviate the “handicap.” Similarly, touch and pain are linked.…

Many people who can experience both, take for granted their abilities and do not think about the possibility of not being able to see or hear.

Also, describing the three other senses while using literary devices, such as similes. One everyday event a person can experience is walking through the park.

    The fact of the matter is that the senses are meant only to inform us as to what is beneficial and what is harmful, and in that respect they are perfectly clear and distinct. Our mistake comes in expecting them also to inform us of the true nature or essence of the things we are perceiving, when they can only give us very obscure information in this regard.”40…

    For the second experiment, I filled three bowls with water of varying temperatures. The first bowl was hot water, the second bowl, lukewarm water, and the third bowl was cold water. I then placed one hand in the hot water and one hand in the cold water and left them there for three minutes. Afterwards, I placed both hands in the bowl filled with both hot and cold. Upon doing this, the hand that was in the hot water felt cooler while the hand that was in the cold water felt warmer. It seems that the receptors were still feeling the original temperature of the hot and cold water that my hands had been in previously and had not yet adjusted to the new temperature of the lukewarm…

    1. Vision and hearing are generally believed to be the two most highly prized senses. If I ever were to lose both of these senses, It would be highly traumatic. Especially losing my eyesight. The visual sense plays a huge role in our daily lives. With the control of eye sight, the human vision allows us to perceive our surroundings. If I ever were to lose my eyesight, my life would have a drastic change. I would not be able to dress on my own, watch movies, see the people I love, and most importantly I would have no visual appearance of myself. The loss of hearing would not affect me with the same extend as losing my visual sense. Although, it prevent me from listening to my surroundings it would not be as difficult to get around as it would if I were to be blind.…
