History And Reading Of Tarot Cards
... the wise, foolish, etc.
The different suits in the Minor Arcana are said to represent the
four classes in which the Egyptian society was divided: Kings and nobility
the sword, agriculture by the club, priesthood by the cup and commerce,
symbolised by the coin. The cards have a definite relation to the number
seven, because twice seven is the number of cards in each suit in the Minor
Arcana, and three times seven is the number of numbered cards in the Major
Arcana.
The Qabalah, is an ancient Jewish mystical system which expresses
the ten different concepts of creation called the sefiroth. A mystic, as
he gains experience, imagines himse ...

Dualism
... from this unique
entity. Substance dualism states that the real essence of you has nothing to do
with your physical body, but rather from the distinct nonphysical entity of the
mind. The mind is in constant interaction with the body. The body's sense
organs create experiences in the mind. The desires and decisions of the mind
cause the body to act in certain ways. This is what makes each mind's body its
own.
The popular or "ghost in the machine" form of substance dualism
states that a person is a "ghost in a machine", the ghost being the mind or
spirit and the machine is the body. Within this description, the mind/spirit
controls the body and is i ...

The Volkswagen Beetle And Advertising
... but the public has spoken. The public loves the new Beetle, and a lot of that love stems from the excellent advertising campaign that introduced the new car.
It was advertising that made the Beetle so popular the first time around. Like the car itself, the advertising campaign used to sell the original Beetle was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. The original commercials were created by Doyle Dane Bernbach, and a generally regarded as classics. These ads have been cited by scholars as changing the face of advertising in their approach and orientation (Takaki, 2). The advertisements injected bits of skeptical honesty into their message. This was ...

Halloween
... the year, because it was
originally a wiccan holiday called samhain, the wiccan new year, or the
festival of Baccuss, the god of wine and revelry. This holiday promoted
celebration through drinking alcohol and happiness for the year ended.
Drinking alcohol has also been known to bring people more in touch with
their feelings, and allowed them to express themselves and their desires
more freely.
Finally, Halloween is the best holiday of the year, because
television stations play all the good horror movies. Horror movies tend to
let people experience a long missed and long needed sense of fear, which
consists of things like a racing of the heart, an increase of t ...

Life In A Reinassiance City
... would serve as an apprentice to a guild member. The more important guilds were the silk and cloth traders as well as bankers and judges. Lesser guilds were the butchers, blacksmiths and masons. (Bynog)
“In the early history of Florence, there were battles between the guilds, which involved ransacking the city. This demonstrates how important the guilds were. They were more than just corporations or labor unions,” (Bynog). The 12 guilds that controlled trade were the key to Florence’s commercial success. This was because the wealthy members of the guilds usually held government positions as well and were very influential in the community (F ...

Courtship Violence
... injuries and a greater negative impact as a result of their male partners’ physical aggression (Ronfeldt 72). Studies consistently show that it is women who are disproportionately likely to sustain serious injury. Some significant negative consequences are emotional harm, feelings of victimization, and fear of further violence (Barnett, Miller-Perrin, Perrin 164).
The most popular explanation for dating violence is that it is a learned behavior acquired in the family origin. Witnessing parents’ marital aggression or being the victim of harsh corporal punishment may greatly increase the chances that a child will grow up to use violence in a dating relationship (Si ...

The Arena Football League
... but the fans aren’t there to accept the league into there
towns with open arms.
To state it very bluntly: Less fans, less money. The Arena
Football League has to go out and get more publicity if it wants their
league to get off the ground and soar. Granted, Kurt Warner’s excellent
play this past season and the fact that he came from the AFL helped to
boost the AFL’s publicity. The CEO’s and owners of the AFL need to put
their heads together and find what they need to get their league above
water. If they get more publicity and a consequently larger fan base they
will be able to expand. Again bluntly, expansion leads to money.
The game-play format of the AFL is ...

Utopia
... Most were
experiments in utopian socialism. Although they differed considerably in their
specific views, most of them agreed that ideal societies could be created
without much difficulty. They felt all that was needed was to have the
formation of a few small, cooperative communities made up of their followers.
The comte de Saint-Simon regarded technological progress and large scale
economic organization as being the most important keys to the establishment of
these communities. It was felt that industrial growth was the key to happiness
for people in the future.
Another visionary, Fourier, was quite the opposite of Saint-Simon. He
Spoke strongly against ...

Air Bags
... most of whom were not using a seat belt. Small children and airbags don’t mix. Children shouldn’t be in the front seat because the force of the airbag is usually too much for them. Never put a rear facing child seat in the front seat of the car. If the airbag goes off, the seat will be pushed forward and the child may get squeezed between the back of the seat and the airbag. Children are less likely to be killed in a crash if they are in the back seat.
If someone must put a child in the front seat, they may want to have an on/off switch for the airbag installed on the passenger side. On/off switches are used to prevent the airbag from going off in an accid ...

A Study In Contrast The Views Of Catherine Barkley And Brett
... most famous female characters, are reflective in their contrast to the decaying Victorian society of the 1800’s and the feminist movement of the early 1900’s.
Hemmingway’s attempt to create the perfect wife through Catherine, may have in fact been too successful, as he leaves the reader questioning whether she “is too idealistic, too selflessly loving and giving to be believed as a character.” This is no truer than at the hospital after Catherine informs Frederic (Tenente), that she is pregnant her only concern becomes his happiness despite his constant pleas that he is in fact happy about the pregnancy. This is only ov ...
