... as a friend. Then there’s romantic love; a love between two people, which I consider to be both intimate and sexual. Older dictionaries and encyclopedias usually refer to the romantic aspect of love, as the love in which is experience between man and woman. In today’s society it is said that romantic love can be found regardless of your gender and based on that definition I would have to agree, but personally disagree for the simply reason that we were physically made to adapt with the other gender sexually. Feeling romantic love for the same sex would defeats the purpose of our existents, which is procreation. Thus making love for the same sex unjust. Lov ...
... electromechanical machine that used punched cards to tabulate the 1890 U.S. Census. His tabulation machine was so successful, he formed IBM to supply them. (Constable 11) The computers of those times worked with gears and mechanical computation. Unlike today¹s chip computers, the first computers were non-programmable, electromechnical machines. No one would ever confuse the limited power of those early machines with the wonder of the human brain. An example was the ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. It was a huge, room-sized machine, designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the military. (Constable 9) ENIAC was built with more than 1 ...
... all parties involved in it. As previously mentioned, Aristotle has identified three different types of friendships. The first is friendship based on utility. This is a friendship in which both parties become involved with each other for their own personal benefit. An example would be a working relationship with an individual. These are people who do not spend much time together, possibly because they do not like each other, and therefore feel no need to associate with one another unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure from each other's company just for their own sake. Aristotle uses the elderly and foreigners as examples of friendships based ...
... can only surmise and attempt search for. This is the looking for our "matching half." ""Love" is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete." (Symposium, Speech of Aristophanes (192E))) This is according to Aristophanes. His ides, or rather theory of "wholeness" is truly one of, if not the most, original and convincing of answering the complex question of: what is love? Aristophanes, argues that love is simply the name for the desire of pursuit of the whole. Aristophanes could not have been any closer to answering the question that has baffled souls (minds) of the intellectual and traditional man for centuries. There could be many c ...
... Sherman Antitrust Act. The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 and prohibits a monopoly or restraint of trade in interstate commerce. The government believes that Microsoft is "tying" sales on buyers. This occurs when a buyer wants to purchase one product but the seller makes him to buy an additional product that he does not want. Let us take another look at this argument against Microsoft. Netscape is claiming that their internet browser is not included in Microsoft's software package with Windows 95 or 98. Microsoft has their own browser, which is included in their product. Netscape does not have their own operating system to include their browser. I ...
... about. It should just happen. Holding a door open for anyone, not just females, should be an automatic thing; if it is not automatic then you are liable to forget to do it and then someone might think that you are shallow and not well mannered. You also have to realize that it’s not only the person that you hold the door open for that notices what you have done. Others that are around will take notice of this act. An act such as holding open a door should be done out of the goodness of your heart. You should not be looking for something like a “thank you” in return. That’s not the reason for holding a door open. In a perfect world a person will say ...
... Becoming a productive member in our society is my dream. I like to work as a nurse to make positive differences in people's lives. To me, nursing is a very important role in our society because it serves people in both physical and emotional when they are most in need of care and attention. I see myself through helping others. And in helping others to achieve their maximum level of function, I find happiness. I realize that there are still many unfortunate people, especially those who live in the third world countries, suffering from illnesses. I keep on telling myself to do something to get close to those people who are in uncomfo ...
... fact that unlike his sheltered life, the world is rarely just and fair. The life of the running man is one of pleasure and contentment. He is a stereotypical white-man, and fulfills all aspects of the character that was created for him. He is a wealthy broker that has a family, a home and a life free from injustice. In his world, he is free from the pain and suffering that many other people have to suffer. Since most short stories have little character development, it is up to the reader to create the character through hints and actions that the protagonist performs. In this story, through the running man's thoughts and actions while he was trapped, we begin ...
... multiple train operation, coupling/uncoupling of railcars. But the greatest benefit that they bring is allowing the person to design a layout using an electronic template and ensuring that all measurements in the layout will work before a single piece of track is laid. Many of these software programs even play off on the hype of using a computer for design in their name, with names of CyberTrack, The Right Track Software, and Design Your Own Railroad, who could not want to become involved in there use. This software ties into many other aspects of building that encourage the use of the Internet in this hobby. Many of these programs allow the hobbyist a “r ...
