It seemed to me that Phaedras was experienced at giving speeches more to the masses than to other philosophers due to the fact that his logic was quite flawed at times, but the delivery was quite good, save for a few mistakes that were probably due to his nervous state. He used multiple examples to help justify his point, yet never gave very helpful ones to prove his point. Because of this, he didn’t have very much to say correctly about society in general, considering the fact that the few generalities he made were incorrect. However, the issues discussed by Pausanias and Eryximachus were quite interesting. Pausania ...

... the way we value knowledge or what we think smart people know how to do. Students are encouraged to be doctors, lawyers, mathematicians, or engineers; they are encouraged to shoot for a high status occupation that will generate wealth. In America we like money, we like jobs that make us money, not jobs that make us good people. Our society values scientists. The scope of Western thought is based on reason and logic, everything that we produce is supposed to have a direct purpose and function, production for the sake of consumption. What happened to creating something for thought? Where did our artists go? When was the last time the US won a Nobel Prize in Philo ...

... Europe to launder their drug money. Introduction The intention of this paper is to highlight the different levels of computer crime in Europe and to examine the various motives involved. One interesting factor, from my point of view, is how the ‘traditional’ organised economic crime has adapted to the worldwide potential of globalisation. Although globalisation has led to the blurring of the distinction between economic crime and organised crime residual elements remain. The global network has made economic crime more lucrative, more anonymous, and therefore less risky. The focus of this essay will be on the part that European countries play in facilitating ...

... require some reasoning and decision-making. Conversely, a low IQ is often a disadvantage…there are many exceptions, but the odds for success in our society greatly favor individuals with higher IQs." (Gottfredson, page 14).

... for God, as presented by St. Aquinas, attempts to show that the existence of the world and everything within it can only be explained if there is a God who is the first efficient cause. The argument states that it is impossible for any being to be the efficient cause of itself because then it would have to bring itself into being, and to bring itself into being, it would have to exist before it existed. If a being exists, it is because some being before it caused it to exist. Therefore, if no first cause exists, neither will any other being exist. Therefore, there must be an efficient first cause -- God. St. Aquinas’s argument assumes that a first cause is nee ...

This computer overuse results in less time for children to study, do homework, read, exercise, or participate in any out of school organizations.
