- 4241: Does God Exist?
- ... Thomas Aquinas has written several important works. Some of them are: The Disputed Questions on the Power of God, Exposition of Dionysius on the Divine Names and Disputed Questions on Spiritual Creatures. Most of Aquinas's works have been written to try to prove the existence of God. Aquinas has been a firm believer that everything had to have a creator and the only possible solution would be something called God. It is with this idea that Aquinas's Third Way was written. In his De aeternitate mundi contra murmurantes, Aquinas insists that human reason cannot prove the impossibility of an eternally created universe. Once again Aquinas has written with the certainty that God has to exist in order to have created the universe. There is no doubt in Aquinas's mind that everything was created for a reason and that reason was God's will. In the text Medieval Philosophy, St. Thomas Aquinas' article entitled Does God Exist? , Aquinas tries to show the different ...
- 4242: Hamlet The Central Dilemma
- HAMLET ESSAY The central dilemma in Hamlet is the character and life s journey of a man whose mind is in paralysis. To what extent is this an adequate summary of Hamlet? Hamlet certainly is a play with complex themes and issues. As we read through the rich script we uncover many dilemmas and issues that have great bearing on the direction of the play, and the consequences of the character s actions. One such character is, of course, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. It is around this man that the play revolves, and his thoughts and actions are closely followed and developed as the play progresses. It has been said that the central dilemma of the play is that Hamlet s mind is in paralysis, meaning simply that he is incapable of action, his mind incapable of derivative thought. While this is extremely important for the play, the reason that this occurs can clearly be ...
- 4243: Lord Of The Flies Tracing The
- ... the dark. But towards the end of this scenario, he attempts to dismiss the idea, which will cause the boys, at such an early stage, to feel any anxiety on the island. But there isn t a beastie! Nevertheless, Ralph s efforts do not pay off: There was no laughter at all now and more grave watching. Unfortunately for Ralph, he has lost control, due to the fact that he is powerless to prevent the boys ... his possible fate. It is strange that the boy who causes the idea of the beast to arise is quickly blotted out from the story. This may be an attempt by Golding to represent man s way of dealing with situations such as these - destroying the source of the trouble. The boy s death coincides with the littluns shouting: Snakes! Snakes! Look at the snakes! It can be said that ...
- 4244: Compatisome Of Upper And Lower Rock Shores Pools
- ... the upper and lower shore. One of the most striking differences in the rock pools’ contents is the dominant algae. Enteromorpha was clearly the presiding algae of the upper shore rock pool, yet it didn’t feature at all in the lower shore rock pool. The main reason for this, is that Enteromorpha is better adapted to the conditions found in the upper shore rock pool than the other sea weeds ... the study, with the salinity of the upper rock pool at the end of the study being 3% greater than that of the lower rock pool. This suggests then, that one possible reason for Enteromorpha’s success in the upper shore is that it is able to tolerate significantly larger fluctuations in salinity than most other algae. This conclusion is backed up by experiments where Enteromorpha has been subjected to rapid ... in metabolic rate. In fact, it is thought that Enteromorpha cells are extremely efficient at controlling their osmotic pressure, (Boney, 1969). It would be wrong though, to state categorically that the sole reason for Enteromorpha’s dominance of the upper shore rock pool was due to it being better suited to coping with greater variance in salinity. After all, Fucus serratus, Ulva lactuca and others, are only slightly less efficient ...
- 4245: People and Events of World War II
- ... Axis Powers. At the end of the war Hirohito wanted peace and, in 1945, he unconditionally surrendered to the Allies. The second, Isoroku Yamamoto, born in 1884, was the reluctant Commander- in-Chief of Japan's naval forces during WW II. He had a clear grasp of the situation and predicted that against a country like the U.S. or Britain, Japan would quickly lose the war. He died in 1943, shot down by the U.S. 13th Air Force in a surgical assassination strike. The last, Tojo Hideki, was born in 1884, and was the most violent of the three.

- 4246: Music And Censorship
- ... man from the crowd asked him, "Jimi are you high?" He simply replied back to the man, "Thanks man I got mine," causing the crowd to act wild almost as if he had saved someone's life, but ironically he unintentionally destroyed their lives. In addition Bob Dylan also talked about getting stoned in some of his music. The song "Rainy Day Woman #12 and #13," blatantly says that "everybody must ... their fans. The lead singers subsist to do this the most because of the vocal opportunities they have to express their discontent with life and thrust their ideas upon those who hypnotize with the musician's power position, thus, makes the listeners obey their thoughts without fully knowing. The lead singer Billie Jo, for Green Day, says to his fans, " I'm not going to say anything f****** intelligent, I'm just going too swear a whole d*** lot." The Bible tells us that we should let everything that comes out of our mouth praise Him, and swearing for any reason doesn't really praise Him at all and is degrading for us as well. Almost like if he did not swear than we wouldn't like him or understand him. In addition the lead singer for ...

- Tourette's Disorder Table of Contents Tourette Syndrome And Other Tic Disorders Definitions of Tic Disorders Differential Diagnosis Symptomatology Associated Behaviors and Cognitive Difficulties Etiology Stimulant Medications Epidemiology and Genetics Non-Genetic Contributions Clinical Assessment Of Tourette ... Academic and Occupational Interventions Today the full-blown case of TS is unlikely to be confused with any other disorder. However, only a decade ago TS was frequently misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Sydenham's chorea, epilepsy, or nervous habits. The differentiation of TS from other tic syndromes may be no more than semantic, especially since recent genetic evidence links TS with multiple tics. Transient tics of childhood are best ... an autistic or retarded individual requires the additional diagnosis of TS may remain an open question until there is a biological or other diagnostic test specifically for TS. In older patients, conditions such as Wilson's disease, tardive dyskinesia, Meige's syndrome, chronic amphetamine abuse, and the stereotypic movements of schizophrenia must be considered in the differential diagnosis. The distinction can usually be made by taking a good history or ...
