... see through our eyes are statistically only one-millionth of our actual reality. Therefore, anything we see is not the entire being or actuality of the world around us but instead a finite perception (by means of vision) of the universe. The technical definition of the other key term, belief, is "a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing." In context, I will use the typical philosopher's definition and define belief as "the unthinking acceptance of an idea or system of ideas." Philosophically, belief is "blind" and is described as "the process of making a commitment to an idea in order to make that idea work for yo ...
... writers have echoed Kierkegaard's belief that one must choose one's own way without the aid of universal, objective standards. Against the traditional view that moral choice involves an objective judgment of right and wrong, existentialists have argued that no objective, rational basis can be found for moral decisions. The 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche further contended that the individual must decide which situations are to count asmoral situations. Subjectivity All existentialists have followed Kierkegaard in stressing the importance of passionate individual action in deciding questions of both morality and truth. They have insis ...
... attempt was closer to the Superman we now know. He was younger and had hair but was not an alien with super powers. “The ultimate version of Superman was born one night in 1934, when Siegel found new ideas coming so fast that he couldn’t sleep” (Daniels 21). Seigel and Shuster collaborated on these ideas and created comic strips created for the Sunday comics. Seigel’s new Superman came from a planet called Krypton. “This was the first benevolent alien created” (Daniels 21). He wore tights for a futuristic appearance and the cape was added to give the effect of motion. Superman was middle aged to give the appearance of res ...
... to give me a tissue when I need one when a tear starts to fall and to be there to share my thoughts and feelings. My family is most important to me. I know in my heart they will always be there for me. If I get discouraged, they are there, all I have to do is request their love. Friendships seem to light up the life. It can seem like a real fray when life throws reality in people’s faces and the old, “work hard” in there as well. I recognize I will have an abundence of ver confusing situations and controverices in the years to come that I will not be able to handle. Whenever I need a friend or family member, I won’t even have to wink an eye and they ...
... when Diallo reached in his back pocket to pull out what eventually was found to be a mere wallet the four police officers opened fire. Carroll shouted "Gun!" then he and McMellon immediately started shooting and each emptied their sixteen round clips into the body of a 22-year-old immigrant form Guinea. In a period of approximately eight seconds all forty-one shots were fired, and like an animal Diallo was killed, in front of his apartment-his sanctuary. Amadou Diallo was a street peddler who sold anything from socks to videotapes. He was a "shy, soft spoken man" with no criminal record (Robinson). Diallo was in the United States legally on a work visa, whic ...

... diversity and the other children around them. Young children need to be exposed to the teachings about cultures other than their own. Many kids only know about their own cultures and it is imperative to their futures that they are educated about the other students around them. Children need to grow up in a world without having any prejudice towards others. Teaching which disregards diversity places students at a disadvantage by reducing their capacity to learn. An inclusive curriculum which acknowledges, respects and responds appropriately to student diversity, can contribute to: enhanced learning outcomes for a greater number of students ...
... underground parties that are open for nearly twelve hours. As the rave scene expands across the country, the use and distribution of increases as well. Rave’s party scene has often been compared to as a religion. The DJ is the high priest of the ceremony, dancing is their meditation, and Ecstasy is their holy substance. The atmosphere of raves is designed to be favorable to enjoying the Ecstasy experience, which are common venues for taking Ecstasy. Ecstasy, along with various drugs, is offered openly to the public. This is a familiar scene at raves and security usually takes no steps in preventing it. Raves are known for having a blind eye approach to drug t ...
... Murder is a vicious crime and the consequences of this crime, especially if it is a child, should have serious attributes to these crimes. Rape has become a serious crime in America today. We hear of rape crimes at least one every five minutes here in America. Like murder most of these crimes are committed by teenagers. I think that convicting a young teenager of this crime and declaring them mentally insane is ludicrous. They should ban such ways for escaping the of such a brutal crime. As the saying from the Bible goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child." We must stop the ways of escaping the system and get back to the basics of disciplinary action. Drugs ...
... in the laundry room. Every time I need to use it I have to walk into the laundry room, push all the coats back until I find the sharpener. It is mountedon the wall so there is no excuse for me to remove it from there and place it in a more visible (yet accessible) location. As a temporary fix to this problem, I simply sharpen about ten pencils all up front. A more expensive item is also being under utilized because it doesn't match the ambiance of the house. This item is the Dolby Surround Sound home theater system my dad bought a few years back. It is all setup fine except for a very critical part, the speaker locations. In order for the system to produc ...
