Book Report On 1984 By George
... 6, eddies, which is a current air running contrary to the main current. Also on page 6 I learned that in this place where Winston lives they use what is called a telescreen which watches and hears everything everyone is doing. There is a telescreen placed in every corner of every room. This telescreen could not be turned off. If you are heard thinking of something the Big Brother does not want you to think then you will be punished by the Thought Police. This punishment could be death or a sentence of 25 years in a forced labor camp. You had to keep your feelings to yourself and try to hide them from the Thought Police. “Your worst enemy is your own nervous s ...

Plato And Love
... of men, in a time when the search for knowledge was seen as the pathway to enlightenment, couldn’t adequately define love and its implications on the human spirit.
Though many of the guidelines and characteristics of love set forth by Plato provide important incite to the meaning of love, some have become antiquated and cannot apply to modern society. The Symposium outlines the different popular views about love during Plato’s time. Plato intentionally portrays some as ignorant and others as valid thoughts on the phenomenon of love. Within the discourse, the speakers told of the characteristics of the gods related to love as a definition of what lov ...

The Question Of An Answer: What It Is To Be Human
... to these questions.
As you will see, many "great philosophic minds" have different views and beliefs
relating to these questions, and it is my job to sort through these different
beliefs and discover...... What it is to be human
It seems that for ages the human body has been studied and inspected.
However, literal "inspection" only takes us so far. As humans, we all know that
there are parts of our "being" that are intangible. Take thoughts, dreams, and
things of the like. We know they exist, yet they are unable to be inspected
scientifically (to any valuable degree at least). The distinction between
beliefs begins here. How one views this intangible side of ...

How To Set The Timing On A Engine Utilizing A Distributor
... plug the end of the line. Next, mark the Top Dead Centre (TDC) mark
on the harmonic balancer (the round piece on the front of the engine) with
chalk. In addition, it is a good idea to chalk the correct mark for the
number of degrees to which you'll be setting the distributor. This
specification is usually found in the owner's manual of the vehicle. The
third step is to actually use the timing gun. Hook the timing gun up to
the battery using the twelve volt alligator clips. Additionally, attach
the gun to the number one spark plug wire with the wire provided. Usually,
a certain engine speed will be designated by the car manufacturer for
setting the timin ...

The Greenwich Association For Retarded Citizens (G.A.R.C.) Of Greenwich High
... the eighth grade at Central Middle School. My
interest carried on through out the years because of the numerous fun times I
have had, and have made friends with many of the girls. They are all very
personable and pleasant to talk with. They each have special characteristics
defining them from the others, making each of them special in different ways,
just like the rest us.
Aside from the meetings that we have every so often to discuss
activities we can do, we usually do fun and interesting activities. We go out
for pizza frequently because it seems to be the group consensus on what we would
all like to eat. During the holidays we celebrate in interesting ways; ...

Smile...Come On...It's Free !!!
... the writings of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
A smile is such a precious thing. So often used that we take it
for granted. Look around; smiles are everywhere. From the most depressing
depths of poverty to the fenced in lives of the wealthy, we all find
something to smile about. A smile helps us display our feelings to the
world. Feelings of love, joy, or just pure uncensored laughter; all put on
display with a smile. The darkest of days; brightened by a simple
"flexing" of seventeen muscle in the mouth. Smiles are crooked teeth,
perfect teeth and everything in between. Rich or poor, black or white, boy
or girl, everyone deserves a smile. Smiles all ...

Schools: Comparison Between Canada And Taiwan Schools
... of credits, the
universities take their averages and determine if they are qualified for the
studies in universities that they choose. Even the students' averages are low,
they can still go to universities that don't require high averages. Therefore,
many students can easily study in this highest level of education. However, all
courses are mandatory in Taiwan. High school students study the same courses
together no matter what they plan to take in the universities, and thus it is
hard for them to know what they are interested in. After graduation from high
school, students have to write a major exam on all kinds of courses to achieve a
score, which determines if ...

Machiavellianism
... how sinister, to gain and keep power.
Machiavellianism envisages: the seizure, maintenance, and
extension of absolute power by the nicely graduated use of
fraud, force and terror; control by the ruler of all
avenues of communication, thus facilitating the deliberate
molding of public opinion; and the employment of
surveillance and terrorist activities of subordinates who
can be disowned and liquidated by the ruler, who thus
escapes the blame for their atrocities. (In other words, the
big political figureheads get their lackeys to do their
dirty work and then use them as scapegoats.)
Basically, what Machiavelli was trying to say was that
if a prince ...

Over My Dead Body
... could be used for something useful. Also, when having an open casket funeral, I believe that it brings more pain to the family. They then have to face the reality while staring at the gross cadaver. Sometimes families even get in large arguments over what the person is going to wear when buried. I believe that we could all save stress, time, and money by finding better way to dispose of our bodies. I feel that there are better options.
Cremation has many advantages but is rarely used unless the person is badly hurt or has no family. Some people think that cremation is morbid and sick, but I believe that it makes good sense. By cremating the body, large land ...
