... line 67e, Socrates says, "If we are ever to have pure knowledge, we must escape from the body and observe matters in themselves with the soul by itself." Socrates also points out that the pleasures of food and drink, sex and ornamentation are all worthless acquisitions because the body becomes worthless after death, reminding us again of the separation of body and soul. Socrates then, has proven to Simmias and Cebes two things. First that the body is inferior to the soul because of its finite age, and secondly that it is harmful to the soul's purpose of gaining the true forms. These two points lead to a third and final point, digressing into the difference be ...

... In Cur Deus Homo we read Anselm's conversation with a skeptic. This sort of question-and-answer form of argumentation (dialectic) is very much like the writings of Plato. The skeptic, Boso, question's Anselm's faith with an array of questions non-believers still ask today. Anselm answers in a step- by-step manner, asking for confirmation along the way, until he arrives at a conclusion with which Boso is forced to agree. This is just like Socrates' procedure with, say, Crito. Later philosophers have both accepted and denied the validity of Anselm's famous ontological argument for the existence of God, presented in both the Proslogium and Monologium. Anselm did ...

... man down, showing no remorse and giving no restitution. When a slave lies in the dark on his hard bed of dirt, wind whipping through his tattered blanket, keeps him warm. A building rage accumulates in him, and drives him to seek freedom, a freedom he deserves. This scene repeats itself throughout time, all over the world. sends adrenaline surging through a mother's body in a time of crisis, giving her enough strength to lift a car off her struggling child. Without lives would be lost, tyranny would go unopposed, and inhumanities would be quietly accepted. becomes a powerful tool in the hands of those who know how to shape its energies into a useful form. There ...

... need not buy the record. And when it is no longer broadcasted no one remembers it. Attempts to change this and promote more quality, depth and originality in music have not been very successful. The whole entertainment business is ruled by trends and, quality seems to have gone out of style To simply lower the price of a CD is a commonly suggested solution, naturally advocated by the buyers. But no business favors such a remedy. Not only since it reduces their income but also because it sends out the wrong signals to people. It gives the impression that the product is worth less and that the customers have been charged too much before. And if the pr ...

... worken, non government funded country folk call it stupidity! Take a moment to sit back and think about it, almost everywhere you look now a days you see somebody doing something really stupid. There’s more people infected with the stupidity epidemic than with the AIDS virus. As you can see this is no laughing matter, it could be a threat to man kind. Realizing this I decided to research the subject and try to find a cure for it. I decided to only concentrate on the real severe cases. So I choose a few candidates to research upon. One of my top "lab rats" I discovered watching CNN one night. His name; William Clinton, AKA Bill. This a very severe case o ...

... new techniques, and more stringent protection of the client, , in general, have a much higher rate of success than in the past" (Monohan, Roger 1). Piercing is not only safe and simple but it has been around for centuries. Almost every culture through history has enhanced their appearance by inserting objects under the surface of their skin, often with a basis in mystical or religious beliefs. "Archaeologists have found Egyptian and Macedonian jewelry for pierced ears dating back to 2,000 BC, and many contemporary cultures preserve the piercing of ears, nose, tongues etc. as a rite of passage from childhood" (Monohan, Roger 1). People get pierced no matter w ...

... 13) The Seminole were originally part of the Creek, but they began to migrate from Southern Georgia to Northern Florida in the later half of the eighteenth century.  The Seminole fled there because Spain owned Florida, and they hoped they would be free.  They shared the land with another group of Indians, the Apalachee and the Timucua, who spoke the Mikasuki Language.  (Seminole Indians 290)  By about the year 1775, they began to be known by the name Seminole, which is derived from the Creek word simanoli, meaning "separatist," or "runaway".  The name, Seminole, could also originate from the Spanish word cimarron, meaning "wild."  Also joining the migrants ...

... and this is bound with centralised power. These are the attributes wanted by those who are in command. By having strict bureaucratic control, those who are at the top of the hierarchy have much power, while those who are at the bottom have strictly little or no control. Narrow supervision is an essential dimension to classical management. By maintaining narrow supervision the effectiveness of work is maximised, so as to increase yield and profit. Narrow supervision ensures that the mechanics of an effective organisation remain. Narrow supervision means that there is need for rationality in decision making. Management allocates tasks, control the work bein ...

... children who attend them, are very poor. There is very little funding available for children's education because unlike the suburbs, tax money has to meet non-school costs such as: police and fire department expenditures and public health. All are in competition with public schools. The schools in these areas are over crowded, limited in supplies, under-staffed and unfit for teaching. Employing and keeping young teachers is a struggle because of lower salaries than what is offered at schools in the suburbs. Kozol points out that politics play an important role in how monies are distributed. He states that: "In Illinois, as elsewhere in America, local funds ...

... free will. Next there are biological theories, theories which suggest that a person is criminal since the day that they are born, due to their genes. There are also psychobiological theories, which say things like environment and physical trauma can make someone into a criminal. Psychological theories suggest that crime is the result of a rotten mind or wrongful behavioral upbringing. Also there are sociological theories which state that the structure of society create the crimes, as well as social-psychological theories, which state that crime is due to association with ‘bad people’ and inadequate social roles. And finally there is the conflict theory, which ...
