- 18601: Aristotle- Thoughts And Philos
- ... public. The Lyceum did not in any way resemble a modern university. There was not a set course of learning; rather there was a great obtaining of knowledge that sprang from the depths of Aristotle’s thought and studies. Examinations were not taken, degrees were not awarded, and the education came very cheap it was free. I believe that Aristotle’s strong belief in knowledge as a right of man contributed to all of this. The Lyceum was not a moneymaking, competition oriented learning facility; it was a sanctuary of thought, learning, and exploring the mind and soul. Aristotle would never except payment for his teachings. (Aristotle Barnes Pg 5) Aristotle’s view on the source of knowledge was perception. (Aristotle Barnes Pg 58) He felt that everything we do to grasp reality begins with perception. Perceptual observations are the grounds by which our concept of ...

- 18604: The Death Penalty for Justice and Safety
- ... and stronger, more of an athlete. He probably played hooky a lot and got into some discipline in school. His last waking moments, it seems, were spent staring up and being brutally violated for someone’s lust. And when his human dignity was gone, his innocence sullied, he felt something sharp plunge into his chest. Gasping, thrashing, his life in this world about to end, he must have twisted frantically, like a trapped dog being smothered. Struggling, panic then darkness, and finally only a limp child’s body, no longer worth the pleasure, thrown into a drainage pond behind his house. There was no majesty in his going. James Arthur “Buck” Murray was convicted for the brutal rape and murder of 13 ... Murray, who lived in the same neighborhood as Jonathan, had been in and out of prison, mostly in, since 1970. His prior convictions include murder, malicious wounding, and kidnapping. He once slashed a cab driver’s throat and left him for dead. Yet he was out on mandatory parole. Twenty-five years’ worth of victims, but Virginia set him free. Murray now faces life without parole. Jonathan was denied his ...
- 18605: Asian American Stereotypes
- Pertaining to Tracy Lai’s article titled, “Asian American Women”, Lai discusses how stereotypes dehumanize people while turning them into objects to be manipulated. Lai touches on the topic of how Asian people and cultures are stereotyped as being inferior ... denied political, economic and social equality in America. Lai also brings to our attention the die hard myth that Asians have made it in America, which is far from the truth. I sense that Lai’s argument is extremely effective due to the fact that stereotypes are not only seen among Asians, they are also seen in many other cultures and genders. For instance, women for years were battling for woman’s equality to be able to vote, and today women are still battling for equality in political and economic areas. In addition, African American’s are still trying to be accepted into certain political roles ...
- 18606: Civilization Cure Or Disease
- ... name of “Global Industrialization.” Even more shocking was the fact that this new form of slavery was also present within our own borders. Migrant workers and illegal aliens were becoming an increasing percentage of America’s labor force. These workers were paid well below minimum wage for jobs, which often put their health if not their life in jeopardy. It appeared that America’s industrial empire was built upon the exploitation of the poor throughout the world. Often women and children were the victims of the “Global Market Economy.” The article stated that millions of goods were produced by ... goods claimed that it was not “slave labor” they claimed it was the “efficient use of human resources for production.” It seemed that companies in their desire of “progress” and profit were oppressing the world’s poorest nations and their citizens. This is not a new phenomenon it has gone on through history; the strong oppress the weak. What is amazing though is the fact that industrialized nations all consider ...
- 18607: The Khent
- I was delighted to receive the urgent request of the publishers, asking me to write an introduction to the English version of the "Khent" (The Fool) of Raffi, translated by Jane S. Wingate. This request I accepted with pleasure. For the translation into English of a choice number of masterpieces of Armenian literature, ancient and modern, has been one of my fondest dreams. I believe that we ... depicted personages are real and charming, such as old man Khacho, the head of the village who represents the practical wisdom, the admirable industry, the harmonious and virtuous life prevailing in the peasant home. Khacho's household is a beautiful picture, inspiring at times, artistically portrayed by this great novelist, who excelled in the art of depicting domestic scenes. One loves to look at this painting of the simple life of ... of his newly introduced (vulgar) vernacular language, Raffi was the founder of the Armenian novel, with a perfection of style, with an intriguing structure. We must not forget that everything is not perfect in Raffi's works. He is weak at times, especially in the denouement of events and development of his characters. His delineation of characters and types is fascinating yet some are unnatural and artificial. However it may ...

Athena was Zeus's favorite child. He entrusted her with the Aegis, his breastplate, and with his thunderbolt. Athena's role as a goddess varied. She was a major warrior and most images depict her dressed in armor and holding a spear. In Homer's Iliad, she is described as a fierce battle goddess who continually intervened on the side of the Greeks. She also took an interest in handicrafts and agriculture. The olive tree, which she said to ...
- 18610: Being a Hero
- ... achieved some fantastic goal or status, or maybe someone who has accomplished a great task. Heroes find themselves in situations of great pressure and act with nobility and grace. Though the main character of Virgil's Aeneid, Aeneas, is such a person, it is not by his own doing. He encounters situations in which death is near, in which love, hate, peace, and war come together to cause both good and ... Venus fears that Juno will attempt to kill Aeneas again, and so asks Neptune for safe passage over the ocean: Beset with worries, Venus turned to Neptune, Unfolding from her heart complaints and pleas: "Juno's anger, and her implacable heart, Drive me to prayers beneath my dignity. … But as to what comes next, I beg you, let them Safely entrust their sailing ships to you" Once again, Aeneas would have ... she cajoles her husband, Vulcan into making a suit of armor for Aeneas: "Most dear husband, I never wished to tax you, make you toil In a lost cause, however much I owed To Priam's sons, however long I wept Over Aeneas' ordeals. Now, however, … I do come, begging your sacred power For arms, a mother begging for her son." Venus is willing to put on this facade of ...
