Memory is very important in who we are as human beings. The reason why it tells us who we are is because some people have better memory than others and in that case it will tell us what type of job may be suitable for us. For example, a person with a very good memory may be come a doctor and a person without a good memory may become a construction worker. The reason why this determines who we are is because are jobs may tell us what level we are at in the world.
If we didn't have memory are life would be like chaos and everyone wouldn't know who was who. Nobody on this Earth would have friends because they wouldn't remember who they met. Their also will be no jobs in the world because nobody would remember what you had to do for that job.
Clive Waring is still a normal person its just that he doesn't remember short term memory. Because of this he will repeat the same things that he did 10 seconds ago so his memory is not very good because he is always living in the past.
I would say I still think memory is just one big thing not divided into parts like short term and long term. But I do understand what short term and long term memory is. I do not see my own memories differently. I see them the same way that I always have. I do trust my own memories because it's what I think and what I remember and no matter what anybody says it is what I remember and that's what I think will be true.
One thing that I found interesting in this chapter was Deja Vu because I have experienced Deja Vu in my life many times. I will sometimes think to myself that I have been in this situation before because I will remember what exactly had happened the last time I was in the same situation.
