Time Warner
... But,
the company has also centred its resources and invested in
the global media, producing programmes and channels for
countries around the world, which in turn has proven to be
a very lucrative area of growth. Time Warner in general
has become a “major force in virtually every medium and on
every continent”
So then, why should a company like Time Warner be a threat
to the public, and something which all of us citizens
around the World should be aware of ? Isn’t Time Warner
just a success of capitalism ? A successful company, which
employs thousands of people and makes massive turnovers,
while at the same time advancing ...

The Republic By Platoe
... or soldiers, and the rest of the people, such as Merchants, Carpenters, and Laborers. What I especially like, is that the class one belongs to doesn’t have to do with the class of your parents, but more with what your aptitudes are. This allows people to do what they are good at which usually translates into people being more productive for the community. To keep this ordered, Plato has set up the Myth of the Metals. The Myth of the Metals states that when people are created they have one of four different types of metals in them. A person who has gold in them is destined to become a Ruler, a person who has silver in them is destined to become an au ...

Guerilla Warfare
... battles. Instead, they operate from bases established in remote and inaccessible terrain, such as forests, mountains, and jungles, and depend on the support of the local inhabitants for recruits, food, shelter, and information. The guerrillas may also receive assistance in forms of arms, medical supplies, and military advisers from their own or allied regular armies.
The tactics of guerillas are those of harassment. Striking swiftly and unexpectedly, they raid enemy supply depots and installations, ambush patrols and supply convoys, and cut communication lines, hoping thereby to disrupt enemy activities and to capture equipment and supplies for their own use.

Coming Of Age
... to also recite the haftorah portion (weekly text from the prophets), and sometimes to lead part of the service. He is expected to make a speech that starts with the phrase, "Today I am a man." Although a Jewish boy automatically becomes a Bar Mitzvah at the age of 13, it has recently become popular to have a ceremony. The ceremony does not fulfill any commandment. In recent times, there is normally a reception that follows the ceremony. The Reform Movement tried to do away with the Bar Mitzvah because they did not accept the idea that a thirteen year old was considered a man. However, the movement failed due to the popularity of the Bar Mitzvah ceremony in mod ...

American Dream
... we are persuaded toward the . With a television in almost every household and magazines an arm=s length away, advertisers basically have us on our knees. We must digest advertisers= views so frequently that you would think it was necessary to sustain life. Advertising=s main goal is to persuade. They want us to see the American way through their eyes. They tell us what to eat, drink, wear, drive, and think. Advertisers start this form of brainwashing on us at a very early age. They lay the groundwork of ideals early on because it is easy to persuade a child. Now, with the two income family, children are left to interpret not only advertisements but television pr ...

If I Cant See God, How Do I Kn
... experiences of the community to which they belong. Thomas Aquinas, a thirteenth century theologian, used his experiences of the world to develop his proofs of the existence of God. His five proofs, which depend on natural reason, include a belief that there exists a Necessary Being who cannot be said not to exist, and apart from whom no other being would be real. Furthermore, Aquinas asserted that there exists an Intelligent One who designs and directs all things, and apart from whom the meaningful structure and ordered process of the universe would not be possible. Peter L. Berger, a modern sociologist, approaches the existence of God by suggesting empirical e ...

The Geographic Power Of Countr
... power, followed by India, the United Kingdom, Brazil and finally Mexico, with the least geographic power.
Of all the countries listed above, China has the most geographic power and indeed the most potential for future geographic power. China's total resources far surpass the number of resources that the other countries possess. China has eleven resources in total. This by itself may guarantee a country geographic power. However, human resources are often more important, as they are the products that result from the manufacturing of natural resources. Obviously, it is possible to obtain more money from manufactured resources than it is from raw materials ...

Utopias
... our own, one could create their own perfect world-their utopia.
In every situation there is almost always two different approaches. Everyone sees the situation differently. However, to come up with the right solution, one needs to hear the opinions of others. But what if that chance to think was taken away, or else consequences would follow enforced by a “police.” That is the situation in, 1984, where everyone’s thoughts were controlled providing them with no independent nature, but rather allowing them to be brainwashed. In the new utopia, everyone will be given the chance to think through their own minds, and not through other’s.
Another problem which occu ...

Hume And Descartes On The Theory Of Ideas
... means. A major strength of Descartes was his idea of objective reality,
which is one's perception of reality. If something accurately represents
something, then it is objective reality, according to him. I believe this is a
strength of his because of his convincing argument, "If the objective reality
of any one of my ideas is found to be so great that I am certain that the same
reality was not in me…therefore I myself cannot be the cause of the idea, then
it necessarily follows that I am not alone in the world, but that something
else, which is the cause of this idea, also exists" (75). Descartes weakness is
his idea of innate ideas. It is not necessarily ...
