A Brief Overview Of Psychedeli

... professors. E-mail has become the most efficient way by which teachers and students interact. However, one can argue that e-mail is an artificial substitute for student-teacher contact. After all we did come to college to get an education from superior individuals in their subject area. E-mail seems to defeat the purpose of this idea because anyone can e-mail, but, not everybody can go to a world renowned professors office and have a conversation about the material being discussed in class. Sometimes, entire classes are on a web page. These students need not even go to class, because they know th ...

The Values Of An Educated Person
Number of Words: 685 / Number of Pages: 3
... in Socrates definition of education. She had her won nature and intelligence from birth. Mother Theresa’s education was her teachings. She was wise, her character helped many, and she sacrificed her life for others. The ways Mother Theresa sacrificed her life was by not getting married and giving up almost everything to help the poor. Her humbleness and generosity in taking care of others speaks out for her education. With all she has done she never had arrogance or was spoiled by herself. As Socrates says, “Those who hold their pleasure always under control and are not duly overcome by their ...

What Is Taste
Number of Words: 1611 / Number of Pages: 6
... brain that something in our mouth is sweet and tasty. What makes one thing taste nicer than the other is an unanswerable question. However this is only one version of taste. What I am interested in is why someone finds a Monet more pleasing to the eye than a poster of a super model, or not. Fashion could make us like something more than another, like peer pressure. I believe that taste is personality, and I understand personality as Sigmund Freud theorized: personality is created from everything that has ever happen to the individual. Monet's art is considered to be 'good art' and popular, becaus ...

Calculus
Number of Words: 569 / Number of Pages: 3
... general parts of calculus. Some of these are functions,
derivative, antiderivatives, sequences, integral functions, and multivariate
calculus.
Some believe that calculus is too hard or impossible to learn without much
memorization but if you think that calculus is all memorizing then you will not
get the object of learning calculus. People say that calculus is just the
revision or expansion of old or basic equations and I believe that also.
In economics and business there are some uses for calculus. One important
application of integral calculus in business is the evaluation of the area un ...

The Errancy Of Fundamentalism

... is neither error-free, unambiguously clear, nor objectively verifiable. [proposition based on observation]
C. The Christian god does not exist.
We shall begin by examining the nature of this god and what implications it has for our analysis of the Bible.
2. The Logic of Fundamentalism
Let us, for the sake of argument, proceed under the premise that the Christian god does, indeed, exist (although there are convincing reasons, independent of the arguments of this essay, to reject a belief in his existence; see, e.g., Smith, 1979, and Martin, 1990, 1991). The Christian view of ...

Monotheism Vs. Polytheism; The

... one. Most traditions are polytheistic, or at least monotheistic with helper spirits; but there are a few monotheistic ones which posit a single Great Creator with no supporting cast. Except for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the world's religions are overwhelmingly polytheistic. One of the major problems of these monotheistic religions that polytheism characterized Abraham's ancestors (Josh. 24:2), kinsmen (Gen. 31:19), and descendants (Gen.35:2). Although all three biblically derived monotheistic religions claim Abraham as their founder, Abraham's monotheism was perhaps more practical than theor ...

Boxing - Should This Unjustifi
Number of Words: 715 / Number of Pages: 3
... by many. The only country, which called for boxing to be banned so far, is Iceland.
Another reason to support why boxing should be outlawed is the negative influence it has over the younger generation. According to an article from 'American Sociological Review', in a study attempting to discover whether mass media violence triggers additional aggressive behavior, it is proven that laboratory subjects exposed to violent material on film tend to behave more aggressively than those who are not exposed to such material. As children are very impressionable, they tend to emulate whatever they see on televi ...

The Only Truth Existing
Number of Words: 1064 / Number of Pages: 4
... our idea of reality; and we believe
that true perceptions are what we sense and see. But it is our sense of reason
and logic, our idea of reality, and our perceptions, that may likely to be very
wrong. Subjectiveness, or personal belief, is almost always, liable for self-
contradiction. Besides the established truth that we exist, there are no other
truths that are certain, for the fact that subjective truth may be easily
refuted.
Every person possesses his or her own truth that may be contradicting to another
person's belief. A truth, or one that is true for all, cannot by achieved
because of t ...

Halloween
Number of Words: 397 / Number of Pages: 2
... people who were
"souling" began to dress like the dead souls, performing antics in exchange
for food and drink. This practice became known as "mumming". So to this
day, witches, ghosts and skeleton figures of the dead are among the
favorite costumes for Halloween.
The practice of carving pumpkins probably comes from Irish folklore.
A man named Jack, a notorious drunkard and trickster, had a trick gone awry
with the devil. So when he died he was denied access to Hell because he
had tricked the devil. Instead the devil gave him a single ember inside a
hollowed-out turnip to light his way throug ...

... will be worn as a sign of individual freedom.
A lonesome teenager will enter a thrift store in search of clothes for “Nineties Day” at school. The teenager will stumble upon some baggy pants, just like the ones worn now, and buy them for his or her outfit. The pants will be a huge hit, forcing fashion designers to rush to the sewing machine, or some other new sewing invention,
and produce as many as possible. They will be worn mostly by teenagers, and also adult men going through a mid life crisis. The new and improved baggy pants will be sold at any local clothing store and also at Target and ...
