Julia Tang, "5 Star Review of Abstract Time" BISSTS 355: Introduction to the History of Science and Technology, Professor Adam Romero, Fall 2020.

Abstract time is a system created by humans to arrange events into a logical approach to synchronize society's activity. This paper focuses on the pros and cons of the concept of abstract time and its impact on human civilization's advancement. Tang discusses how the concept of abstract time has altered our lives in unimaginable ways and explores the idea of abstract time's relationship with transportation, radio communication, mass media.

I added this to my academic portfolio because it required me to think outside my own experience with the concept of time and practice critical thinking while looking at how it influenced the human race in an interpersonal way. I believe that the 5 Star Review of Abstract Time demonstrates my ability to think creatively and critically about different perspectives on abstract time and bring to my own interpretation and ideas.
