... is the validity of religious concepts and worldly explanations? In logical thought, all answers explain themselves because they come from other answers. The basis of our thought processes deals with a back and forth relationship of answer and explanation. Each answer is an addition to past questions and ideas discussed in the past. Previous explanations are used to answer newly formulated questions and past answers are used to comprehend recent explanations. In the cycle, no new concepts or revolutionary concepts are devised. Human thought is a reflection of past ideas and continuously uses archaic ideals to explain contemporary questions. Therefore, are relig ...

... and expectations of ‘management discipline’ were high, however there were a series of recurrent crisis. These crises were particularly evident in the hospital services and were caused by a combination of scarcity of compatible resources and an infinite demand for health care. Through a fundamental view of operations in 1989, two reviews were drawn up by the department of health, ‘working for patients’ and ‘caring for people’ (DoH, 1989a, 1989b), and these formed the basis of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990.

(Pg. 7) The city of Los Angeles was created for the white, urbanized, higher middle and upper classes. I think Davis' primary thesis or point in the book is just that. Los Angeles was being developed into a city for the wealthy by the wealthy. He describes all the hardships that the poor and middle classes go through to survive in the city. The mid ...

... or she brought light from darkness, produced sea and land to make the Earth, and populated it with plant and animal life. Differences are easy to spot too. Different landscapes being developed are e mphasized by groups of people living in different regions. The Winnebago Indians of Wisconsin mention creation of forests, streams, and lakes, while The Pelasgian Myth mentions Mount Olympus and the Teutonic myth mentions the Northern Sea. From the way the stories are written, one can guess at the way that the cultures think and live. The Wisconsin Indians seem to think simply, talking about tangible things. The Pelasgian myth talks about people and their feeli ...

... aesthetics as criteria when making judgments about non-Western art. For example, many non-Western cultures recognize no distinction between fine art and craft, may not even have a word for "art," and may not separate art from everyday life. To understand the art and aesthetics of Japan, it is necessary to investigate a Japanese worldview, ideas about the nature of art, and influences brought about through contact with other cultures. The aesthetics of Japan developed in a unique fashion, partly because of its geographic location, a string of islands about 100 miles from Korea and 500 miles from China. Its isolation by the sea helped protect Japan from foreign ...

... product, product line, or service. It plans to do one thing with great effectiveness and efficiency. This specialization allows an organization to do whatever it does extremely well, perhaps even better than other organizations. Used mostly by small organizations, it reduces the amount of resources required and as such is a low risk strategy. However, it ties up all of the firm's resources on a single product, service, or product line. The firm's success and growth is dependent entirely on that particular product with nothing to fall back on were that product to fail. Also, coupled with the facts that this strategy limits an organization's growth and opportunitie ...

Due to the development within technology, the military is now far more than just infantry whose task is to run around in the front line and fire their guns.

... a very long time ago, where being in a "timeless state free of worries," could be possible. I have to say though that some of the material, especially Chuang Tzu really changed my outlook on many things. My parents could say that this philosophy has made me lazy, believing that I can go through life, living peacefully and harmoniously, in nature, with out a care in the world. I don't really believe this, but some of Chuang Tzu's arguments have either made me strongly agree with what he was teaching, or go into the opposing view and really make me want to seek out more to life, than just my surroundings. As a philosopher, Chuang Tzu has been under attack from t ...
