... atheism has varied considerably in history: even the earliest Christians were labeled "atheists" because they denied the existence of the Roman gods. In Western culture, where monotheism has been the dominant religious belief, atheism has generally referred to the denial of the existence of a transcendent, perfect, personal / creator of the universe. To be an atheist does not mean no religious beliefs. For there are "high" religions, such as Buddhism and Taoism, that do not assume the existence of a supernatural being. Marx was a militant critic of religion generally and of Christianity particularly. He pointed out the ultimate conflict of interest in the Catholic ...
... trash on it, and best of all created basically new products without almost any waist. Lots of people believe that it is not worth their time to recycle or that whatever they do is insignificant, but that's wrong it really takes no longer to throw a can in the bin than in the garbage. Anything that anybody recycles makes a difference, for instance one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a T.V for 3 hours, a single glass jar saves enough energy to light a light bulb for 4 hours. So for every thing you recycle it does save energy. One of the big myths which I think prevents a lot of people from is that not many things can be recycled, maybe that was t ...
... travel at the speed of light, hundreds of human years on earth may not mean as much to the travelers who are going the speed of light. This would make travel in space easier for them to reach places that are further away. I also think that space is the next place we as humans have to explore. That we have explored everything that is of great importance here on earth and that the universe around us, can give us a better understanding of what is around us. The problem that we face though is that every thing is so far away from us and time never seemed to be on our hand. These last few years it seems that science fiction is becoming science fact. I think it’s only a ...

... life and death instincts. The ego is based on the reality principal as it is rational and logical-where defense mechanisms come into play. The superego supercedes both the conscious and unconscious. It is the part of the mind containing the traditional values & taboos of society. Psychosexual development had five stages: the oral stage is the time during which the infant is orally fixated; the anal stage is the time during which the child finds gratification through excrement; the phallic stage is the stage during which children begin to choose sexual preference with their parents. This is the stage of the Oedipus and Electra complexes for boys and girls respec ...
... you. Go ahead and take a walk down an inner city street if you dare, where the homeless sprawl across sidewalks and children roam the streets like wild dogs. The real world is lying right under there feet. We are starting to believe that the poor will always be with us, its something we must learn to live with. So we build more prisons and hire more police to protect us from the underclass. Unfortunately we forgot to ask ourselves a very important question, is that the way to cooperate with the poor? It is not there fault that they were born penniless, but it is our fault for abandoning them from our lives and pushing them away from living a happy life. We we ...
... same time, options buyers also can take advantage of predetermined, limited risk. On the other hand, options writers assume significant risk if they do not hedge their positions. The most basic stock options are buying calls and buying puts.

A call is the right to buy the stock, while a put is the right to sell the stock. The person who purchases an option, whether it is a put or a call, is the option "buyer." the person who originally sells the put or call is the option "seller." Options are contracts in which the terms of ...
... parents was rooted in a continuity…the new world on the other hand, demanded a sense of self that was malleable, sensitive to the power of increasingly volatile surfaces. Addressing the historical transformation of individual identity, historian Warren Susman describes it as a shift from the importance of “character” to the importance of “personality” (Ewen, 411). Audrey Lorde incorporated this theory throughout her book “ZAMI a New Spelling of My Name” Lorde takes us on a journey through her life starting with her early childhood years. As a young black girl being raised by a strong, independent homosexual mother livi ...
... the world as unintelligent, exuberant, and irresponsible nation. The current entertainment and consumer retail industries in the US are the biggest insult to basic human intelligence. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week average American is being target by unavoidable and annoying commercials from TV, radio, Internet, highway billboards, etc. Brought by large corporations, they are intended to brainwash the individual and turn him/her into a loyal brainless consumer of the product that is offered. Fake promotions, grand openings and other tricks are designed specifically for these who refuse to become believers right away. For example, how many times one can ...
