- 3272: Descartes
- Rene Descartes was one of the most influential thinkers in the history of the philosophy. Born in 1596, he lived to become a great mathematician, scientist, and philosopher. In fact, he became one of the central intellectual figures of the sixteen hundreds. He is believed by some to be the father of modern philosophy, although he was hampered by ... Now, Descartes says that he has an idea of God as a perfect, infinite substance. Now, Descartes states that the level of formal reality of the cause of an idea must be at least as great as the level of objective reality in the idea itself. By this logic, I as a finite substance could not possibly cause the idea of an infinite substance. In fact, the only being whose formal ...

More aggressive technology approaches are used to extend the life of the elderly. On the whole ... state of Utah, among 1398 participants, found little evidence that advance directives affect life sustaining treatments (Jacobson, Kasworm, Baltin, Francis, Green, 1996).

When patients were transferred from ambulatory to acute care settings, only 26 percent of the patients who had advance ... support for patient and family has always been an essential part of nursing. Nurses may well be trusted in large part because they are presumed to act in defense of their patients lives. Nurses give great importance to the psychosocial health of their patients.

- ... supplying aid/arms to countries at war. (Freedman, p.134) After Congress finally realized this act was only adding to the mayhem, they revised the act which allowed cash and carry. We must become the great arsenal of democracy. (Straub, p.64) As the war continued, FDR did the same. He pursued many plans/acts to help the other countries in their time of need. In 1938 Roosevelt pleaded with Congress ... to move forward. (Freedman, p.156) This is the type of leader America wanted, needed and had. His confidence was overwhelming and he displayed it to the nation, As long as these 4 nations with great military power stick together in determination to keep the peace, there will be no possibility of an aggressor nation arising to start another war. (Freedman, p.157) In December 1944, Roosevelt along with Churchill and ... past 1,000 years, but FDR was a natural born leader.

- 3275: Andrew Carnegie The Rise Of Bi
- ... and production was high. Carnegie was driven on returning profits form his company back in to his company to expand growth. He was the master at this technique and he knew it. This process was great for expansion and for profits, but for the people that had shares invested, a waiting game of when they would get a return had started. Andrew was also on the cutting edge of updating his ... and attempt to be smuggled in to the plant and re-open the plant with non-union workers. The plan didn't work. After the strike there were some years (1893-1894) that were considered depression years. Carnegie pushed through these tough time and managed to push costs down even more and come out with an amazing $4,000,000 net profit; the next closest competitor had a $1,000,000 ...
- 3276: Aliens Or Gods
- ... on earth millennia ago, have perhaps made us, and have definitely guided us by use of religion until only lately. In case some kind of proof is needed all one must do is consider the Great Pyramid in Giza, and the structures that served as temples, or holy places, in Baalbek (Lebanon), or the megalithic stonework of Ollantaytambo (Peru), and Machu Picchu, None of which even modern technology can achieve without great difficulty. One of course can also consider the apparent Sumerian knowledge of the last planet in our Solar System, which was "discovered" only a couple of years ago, which was named "Nibiru" by the Sumerians ... our history, society, technology and even the way it affects our way of perceiving space or to use the appropriate term- the Heavens. Of course when I speak of our religion, I speak of the great monotheistic religions of the world - Christianity, Islam and the Jewish religion. In my opinion the most important factor in governing the history of the people of earth are the conflicts between peoples and countries. ...
- 3277: Limiting Death Row Appeals
- ... States. Based on that number, 2.8 people will die every hour at the hands of another person. Death row inmates are often on death row for years, some upwards of twenty years. This puts great financial strain on taxpayers' money. While in prison, inmates have many privileges, including cable television, the chance to pursue a college degree, and free health care, all at taxpayers' expense. There are many law-abiding ... consuming. The appeal process is almost automatic for individuals sentenced to death. Many appeals are filed by the convicts in hopes of overturning their conviction or to change their sentence to life imprisonment. Although a great majority of these cases are handled pro bono by lawyers ethically opposed to the death penalty, no consideration is taken in respect to the cost to taxpayers for the local, state, and federal government to ... sentencing either the individual is put to death or his death sentence is overturned.

- 3278: Ernest Hemingway
- ... him. In the last year of his life, he lived inside of his dreams, similar to his mother, who he hated with all his heart. He was suicidal and had electric shock treatments for his depression and strange behavior. On a Sunday morning, July 2, 1961, Ernest Miller Hemingway killed himself with a shotgun. Ernest Hemingway takes much of the storyline of his novel, A Farewell to Arms, from his personal ... experiences which he was writing about. I believe that Hemingway had Catherine and her child die, not to look different from his own life, but because he had a sick and morbid personality. There is great power in being an author, you can make things happen which do not necessarily occur in real life. It is obvious that Hemingway felt, as a young child and throughout his life, powerless, and so ...

The boy describes Sounder as having great square jaws and head, a muscular neck and broad chest that showed his bulldog blood(4). When an animal was shaken from a tree Sounder would clamp and set his jaw-vise just behind the ... Sounder. He made reference to the strength of his father as well, yet in more subtle ways. One morning in the cabin the boy felt warm and proud inside when he saw his fathers great hand take hold of the handle of the hot lid without using a pot rag the way his mother always did(15). Another distinct example would be how the boy believed his father might be ... he would be holding the scarecrow of a man in the air with one hand clamped all the way around the white strip on the skinny neck, the way he had seen Sounder clamp his great jaws on a weasel once, with the head stuck out one side of the jaws and the body the other(89). The boys detailed thoughts concerning the strength of his father and Sounder help ...
