Number of Words: 527 / Number of Pages: 2
... in scenes out in the city. Furthermore, men always presented what women had seen in their dreams and visions. The women that had one of these "revelations" never presented what she had seen by herself. This to me suggests that in the time frame of Julius Caesar, women were still treated as though they should be at home looking after the children and cleaning the house.

... because of social status. Naturally, the poor will always feel cheated because they feel as if opportunity never has and never will pass them by. The rich, conversely, will always feel as if they are doing society a great favor simply by having their wealth. Poor versus rich debates will never go away no matter how much change is done to government and society. The “just deserts” theory of poverty is one that best describes American society. “For many, the logic of the mobility ideology led to a ‘just deserts’ rationalization.

... in our example because of its deceptiveness to come to a true belief..
Descartes slowly moves on to set the stage on another argument which I shall call the dreaming argument. The dreaming argument is centered around differentiating our awakened mind from sleep. Descartes uses this technique and builds upon it to show that an external world doesn’t exist. Descartes makes a good argument by using scenarios which happen to everyone whilst having a dream.
