... our own good or that of other people), is an existence exempt as far as possible from pain, and as rich as possible enjoyments. Therefore, based on this statement, three ideas may be identified: (1) The goodness of an act may be determined by the consequences of that act. (2) Consequences are determined by the amount of happiness or unhappiness caused. (3) A "good" man is one who considers the other man's pleasure (or pain) as equally as his own.

... violence our ancestors did. The founding fathers continued to push them further and further away because it was beneficial to them at the time.

... hipped-gabled roofs of ceramic tile. The Kondo (Golden Hall), one of the oldest buildings in the world dating back to 670, is of the Tang style, but it also had Greek influence as seen in the entasis of the wooden columns (Tansey, Kleiner 534). The Chinese influence continued through the eleventh century with Phoenix Hall at Uji being an example of the most elegant of Chinese-inspired architecture in Japan (Tansey, Kleiner 537).

Since they are so sane in every other way, you must agree with and understand how upset they are by how crazy it all is” (pg. 6). This stood out to me and made me realize many things.

John Locke and David Hume upheld the belief that sensible things were composed of material substance, the basic framework for the materialist position. The main figure who believed that material substance did not exist is George Berkeley. In truth, it is the immaterialist position that seems the most logical when placed under close scrutiny. The initial groundwork for Berkeley's position is the truism that the mater ...

However it is believed that at some time, many centuries before Homer lived-there really was a war between the Greek city-states and the residents of northwestern Asia Minor.
