I see the connection!

The first word that comes to mind which is used in many of my classes, and was also mentioned in class, is "networks". The first obvious way in which this word is used in our english class is in regards to the internet and blogs. There is a huge network of people and information all at the click of a button. This got me thinking about my psychology class that I had last semester when we were learning about the nervous system and the huge network of nerves we have in our body and how we recieve information from our surroundings. In my nutritional sciences class we are talking about the digestive system which I think could just be considered a huge network of organs and processes. Another common term in my classes is "transfer". In physics and food science we learned about the three forms of heat transfer which are conduction, convection, and radiation. In this english class we talk about transfer in terms of transfer of knowledge, ideas, and opinions through different media. Another example of the use of the word transfer is in transferring food through the body (from one end of the GI tract to the other) and also transfering nutrients throughout the body. The word "law" has also appeared in many of my classes this semester. I am in a food laws and regulations class and we are learning about many different laws and regulations as they apply to food manufacturing. In physics and chemistry this word is also used when describing theories. For example, Newtons three laws of motion. Lastly, the word "media" is used to describe how something gets from one place to another. In english it means how information is transferred to people through TV, books, internet, etc. In my food science class it is the same idea, but it refers to the media that energy can move through such as liquid or air.
