Ben Carson
(1) This arete achievement was achieved by performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins, joined at the back of the head, conducting the first successful neurosurgical procedure in a fetus inside the womb, the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.
(2) This arete achievement was earned by by graduating from the prestigous university of Yale, in which he majored in psychology. in 1987, Carson was the lead neurosurgeon of a 70-member surgical team that separated conjoined twins.
(3) Technology impacted this arete experience because throughout the course of the years technology has grown and so has the medical field due to technology. X-rays, which is a source of technology, helped the process of this srugery. The X-ray could have noted where he was going to start his surgery. This x-ray noted where the fragments were located.
(5) Reflection: I think this arete excellence is a great example of determination. His determination to attempt something with great hopes to it. Carson shows us that anything is possible if you try. You can expect failure if you decide to not attempt it. He also teaches us that education is key to success. With the more educatiom you expose youself to, the more acknowledgable you become.
