- 521: Julius Caesar: Conspiracy Theory
- ... will be looked upon differently by the people of Rome. Cassius and the others seem to have the ulterior motives that Antony eludes to in his speech to the people about the good, noble, and modest Caesar, who's death was dishonorable and a great wrong. The assassins had much to gain, or better yet, less to lose with Julius Caesar out of the picture. If Caesar had become emperor or ...
- 522: Ernest Sosa: Externalism
- ... and thus we need the notion of superweak justification. At this point, the analysis and comparison between normal people and deceived people stops at superweak justification. Sosa thinks we need more. Now, Sosa introduces his proposal for a criterion for justification - virtue (clever word choice, eh?). Notation: E = environment; C = conditions; F = field of propositions; S = subject; P = specific proposition in question; and X = arbitrary proposition. Then, S believes P at ...

- ... caution due to the manner in which he gathered and interpreted his data (Vernon, 1979). However, Burt's research provides an important foundation for this research. Jone's study (1946) shows that there is a modest difference in the intelligence test scores of twins reared apart, and the more divergent the environments, the greater the difference. While environmental factors are important in raising or lowering a child's level of intellectual ...
- 524: Thomas Hobbes: What Is The Difference Between Obligations In foro interno and In foro externo, and When Do We Have Such Obligations?
- ... put, you can not trust other men to do the same unless you can be sure that they will not turn on you and take your life.

- 525: The Five Factor Model of Personality
- ... one set of trait theorists. The claim of five factor theorists is that behaviour can be best predicted and explained by measurement of five dominant personality factors.

One of the statistical techniques most commonly used in the study of personality is that of factor analysis: By identifying groups of highly intercorrelated ...
- 526: Unidentified Flying Objects: Fact or Fiction?
- ... thinkers, theologians, and scientists have tried to answer why there are or whether there aren't UFOs. According to some, the speculation that UFOs are alien spacecrafts from another world is an absurd and foolish proposal. Others vehemently disagree and assert that extraterrestrial life is not only possible, but such life forms may be superior, technologically advanced beings who visit our Earth regularly. Are these "flying saucers" a figment of our ...
- 527: The Dream of Oenghus
- ... s father, the fairy king, refuses to help and that is because he cannot: His daughter's magical powers is stronger than his. In this sense, love is, in the Celtic myths, a relatively straightforward proposal. A lover, committed to his beloved, and willing to demonstrate that commitment, may encounter obstacles but ultimately, the gods do not interfere with his pursuit and the natural world sympathizes. In Roman mythology the course ...

- ... 1.8 billion kilograms canned, 1.4 billion kilograms frozen, and 1.1 billion kilograms in fruit juice; production of vegetables was 1.4 billion kilograms canned and 3.2 billion kilograms frozen. From the modest canning industries in 1813 to the sophisticated food processing plants of today, food processors have provided the world with more healthful diets, food combinations never before possible, and a convenience unimagined 200 years ago. We ...

- ... individualistic standards. Howard Roark was completely oblivious to the fact that his design risked being altered conformed to the ways of society. If Roark had done the whole process on his own (the design, and proposal) the building would probably not have been built, but if it had, it would have been his way. It would have been his. However, he completely gave it away when he allowed Keating to propose ...
- 530: Capital Punishment
- ... Furman decision. A number of states sought to resolve the discriminatory and arbitrary nature of the death penalty by simply sentencing to death everyone convicted of first-degree murder, but the Supreme Court rejected this proposal saying that "mandatory death sentence laws did not really resolve the problem but instead 'simply papered [it] over' since juries responded by refusing to convict certain arbitrarily chosen defendants of first-degree murder" (Berger 353 ...
