- 7302: Siddhartha
- ... listening, he realizes that all of the voices were interwoven, interlocked, and entwined in a thousand ways. And that all the voices, goals, yearnings, sorrows, pleasures, good, and evil, all of them together was the world. Vasudeva said that he had waited for this time to come. He said goodbye to the hut, river, and Siddhartha, and disappeared into the forest, full of peace. After years, Govinda comes to the river ... in himself. Again, Siddhartha recognized him instantly, but because Siddhartha changed a lot, he couldn't recognize him till Siddhartha gave him a hint. Siddhartha says to him words is always one-sided, but the world itself is never one-sided. Because of that, nobody can learn from teaching. Things are never one-sided because there is no such thing as time. You can't divide the thing into past and ... He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships to each other, all helping each other, loving, hating, and destroying each other and become newly born.

- 7303: Taming Of The Shrew 3
- ... this play remained unquestioned. Men were obviously the ones that had authority over women. Yet in that case, Queen Elizabeth remained in power over Great Britain.

- 7304: My Philosophy in Teaching/Coaching at the Secondary Level
- ... enough good things about themselves. Teaching is something that we all have the innate ability to do; if more people were to use this gift in a positive manner to help their fellow man this world would be a better place. High school kids are at time in their lives in which they need someone to help them move in a positive direction. If I can be there to give them ... learn they have accomplished them. That will definitely make me smile in my heart and soul. These things may sound idealistic, but it is the youthful enthusiasm that makes me believe I can make the world a better place. Coaching is a great way to make a difference in a young person's life, and I feel young people prefer an enthusiastic, idealistic, can-do attitude to a cynical, pessimistic approach that focuses on getting what you can out of a troubled world. I will not throw in the towel because the world still has a glimmer of hope everytime I look into a young person's eyes. It is this type of hope and my love ...
- 7305: The Third Millennium - Threat
- ... was sparked by the new Millennium bridge on the quays. We talked about the prospects of the new millennium and how it has been used as a financial leg-up for companies all around the world. I think that GM foods will wipe out hunger after much research, he strongly disagreed and believes it is just another mess that the human race has brought upon itself. In the end, we both ... the new millennium changed things that much? The increase of awareness has led me to think that maybe we can organise life for as many people as possible. Unfortunately, I don t believe that the world assets can ever be balanced equally. The human race has a primal selfishness that can show itself in the most generous. In 1999 the uproar of genetically modified food began. Scientist Dr Arpad Pusztai research ... sacked from his job at the Rowett Research Institute for his research and for declaring that he thought the public was being used as guinea pigs" by the food industry. Through his research government the world over have been forced to become aware of the dangers of GM food. I think that GM foods may be used to wipe out hunger in the next millennium, but for the moment caution ...
- 7306: Simile Of The Cave
- ... the past. Plato describes men as being chained in a dark subterranean chamber with their eyes permanently turned to a screen before them, upon which pass the shadows of men living and working in the world of light. Since the prisoners in the underground cave have never known reality other than those shadows, they take them for all that actually is "the whole truth", and if voices from the world above do reach them, they believe it is the shadows speaking. In comparison of this to our government today, many similarities can be seen. Citizens of our nation today are often "blinded" from the truths ... themselves, this is the way that they will always live their life. Plato symbolizes this by suggesting that one of these men is freed and ventures out of the cave into the light, or the world above, and sees the sun, symbolizing "the form of the good". Plato’s object in this work was not of personal enlightenment; he had the sense to understand that where communication was lacking, such ...
- 7307: Berkeley's Theory of Immaterialism
- Berkeley's Theory of Immaterialism As man progressed through the various stages of evolution, it is assumed that at a certain point he began to ponder the world around him. Of course, these first attempts fell short of being scholarly, probably consisting of a few grunts and snorts at best. As time passed on, though, these ideas persisted and were eventually tackled by the more intellectual, so-called philosophers. Thus, excavation of "the external world" began. As the authoritarinism of the ancients gave way to the more liberal views of the modernists, two main positions concerning epistemology and the nature of the world arose. The first view was exemplified by the empiricists, who stated that all knowledge comes from the senses. In opposition, the rationalists maintained that knowledge comes purely from deduction, and that this knowledge is ...
- 7308: Gregory (Panos Ionnides)
- ... liberation from British domination continues for every cypriot living in Cyprus at around this time. This story Gregory by Panos Ionnides is the direct result of Ionnides' first-hand experience as a soldier during the war when he and a former cypriot, Guerilla, were guarding a british soldier. The soldier was executed in restitution for a violent act played on by the British. Also, the late 1950's was a time ... can assume this based on the fact that he carried out headquarter's task of executing despite how gruesome he may have founded it to be. Also, we can't forget that this was a war. The executioner posessed the typical signs of honor and discipline a normal soldier would have towards his/her higher chief. After all, if there was the slightest bit of betrayl sensed on the behalf of ... is headquarters. In the end, he killed Gregory. He had to, it was his job. He HONORED his job, he honored headquarters. Afterall, it was either Gregory's life or his own. Logically during a war, the task at-hand is to stay alive. Obviously the executioner didn't want to die so he sought-through his job. But it was interesting how after he killed Gregory, the intensity of ...
- 7309: Kantian Philosophy of Morality
- ... The initial stage of the Universal Law Formation of the Categorical Imperative requires that a maxim be universally applicable to all rational beings. M1 succeeds in passing the first stage. We can easily imagine a world in which paramedics always answer widows truthfully when queried. Therefore, this maxim is logical and everyone can abide by it without causing a logical impossibility. The next logical step is to apply the second stage ... but ended up drowning, and he was wearing a brown suit and brown loafers, then you should tell the widow that he died instantly in order to spare her feelings." We can easily imagine a world in which all paramedics lied to widows in this specific situation. That does not necessarily mean that it will pass the second test however. Even if it does pass the first test, narrowing down maxim ... everyone else. If you create a maxim about lying to widows that is specific enough to pass the first test, so can everyone else. One must ask if rational beings would really will such a world in which there would be many, many specific, but universal, laws. In order to answer this question, one must use the rational "I" for the statement "I, as a rational being would will such ...
- 7310: A Critical Analysis Of William
- ... the same time as he is deceiving himself by believing her lies, he is in effect mirroring her actions. He presents himself as made of truth by establishing himself as an innocent, Unlearnèd in the world s false subtleties. Shakespeare begins the second stanza with a wonderful pun. Vainly thinking refers not only to the narrator s own vanity (which is driving him to such a deception), but also to the ... is so clearly not unacquainted with), now the tone is quite clearly regretful: the simple truth is repressed, held back. The phrase is also a paradox, for the poem has committed the reader to a world of intellectual complexity and sophistication, in which truth has become elusive and problematical: not simple at all. In this respect, the reader is able to feel the speaker s nostalgic yearning for an innocent world of simple verities. The third stanza begins with questions from the speaker: But wherefore says she not she is unjust? And wherefore say not I that I am old? These questions are not asked ...
