Aristotle: A Comprehensive View On Nature And Society
... these universals, a substance would not be what is.
There are four characteristics of substances: a substance is a “this”, not a
qualification or a 'such' (which stresses individuality); a substance has no
contraries to it (there are no opposites of a substance); a substance does not
admit more or less (there are not degrees of a substance); and a substance can
admit contraries while remaining numerically one.
In the Physics, Aristotle addresses that which constitutes Natural
Objects as substances. He states that all Natural Substances consist of both

I Want To Believe
... of this phenomena took on a fourth dimension when Betty and Barney Hill claimed while driving home one night, they were allegedly abducted by alien beings. The Hills were the first individuals in modern history to state publicly that they had been abducted by extraterrestrial beings, leading to a new era, with reports of alien abductions occurring world wide. But to be abducted whilst outdoors like the Hills is considered to be extremely rare, with almost all cases being reported at night, while the abductee was in bed and without any independent witness corroboration.

Us Vs. Microsoft
... company can not assign a price to a product that is outlandishly high. Our government makes sure that companies abide by this by following the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The Sherman Antitrust Act was passed in 1890 and prohibits a monopoly or restraint of trade in interstate commerce. The government believes that Microsoft is "tying" sales on buyers. This occurs when a buyer wants to purchase one product but the seller makes him to buy an additional product that he does not want. Let us take another look at this argument against Microsoft.

The Meaning Behind Marriage
... intimate close reunion." After looking into Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language 1996, I found another definition, one that is provided ten years later. The dictionary states marriage is "the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife, including the accompanying social festivities" and "the state, condition, or relationship of being married, such as wedlock." I am surprised that none of these dictionaries define marriage with love, happiness, or togetherness. Isn't that what marriage is all about? Wrong. Marriage is about so much more. Marriage is about survival of ...

Bilingual Education
... grow from the pressures of immigration. It was started as a small, federally funded program to help Mexican-American children (largely native-born) in the Southwest. The purpose was to try to make Mexican-American children fully literate in English.
Today, our expectations of bilinguals are very high. We expect them to learn our language fast and accurately. However, we do not teach them well. Instead of running away from this problem by abolishing , we should find a way to improve this practice in order to make it a part of our culture.

What could the kid do after that? Violence is just a part of human nature; it may be a part that civilized humans suppress in order to try to have law and order. Law and order are two things that just seem like guidelines from which a kid bases his or her rebellion. Just like in Columbine High School there was a small group of kids who were willing to break the law because there were restrictions on what they could do. And because they were teased by some of the kids, a ...

... thinking, memory loss, and confabulatory quality is analogous to the delirium and dementia of organic brain disease (168 Hobson).
Dreams have long been subject to controversy, whether they are a source of predicting the future, or as Sigmund Freud portrayed them as the "royal road to the unconscious". Sigmund Freud was a renowned psychologist who, although did not originate the concept of dream interpretation, was integral in developing some methodologies of utilizing the dream as a means of deciphering the psyche of the dreamer, particularly in uncovering and analyzing the dreamer's psychological problems.

Soccer's Role Later In Life
... quality needed to be successful in life. It takes leadership to own a business all the way to heading up a research lab. Although some people are born leaders, most people must work at leading others. Soccer offers this opportunity. I started varsity soccer my sophomore year at Lee’s Summit High School and was able to experience great leadership by observing the senior captains. They not only knew how to play the game, but also what it takes to be a leader. This year, my senior year, it was my turn. I was voted captain of the team by my fellow teammates and given the opportunity to learn how to lead. I have learned it is not an easy thing. To have people fo ...

Turbo Or Nitrous
