1,653 words

tendency, emphasizing individual existence,
freedom, and choice, that influenced many diverse
writers in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. Because
of the diversity of positions associated with
existentialism, the term is impossible to define

identified. The term itself suggests one major
theme: the stress on concrete individual existence
and, consequently, on subjectiv...

Of Stress On Decision Making
1,664 words
Stress must be present to ensure our very being.
One may wonder about the validity of this
statement, but it is quite true. Stress plays a
vital role in the way we make decisions (Massa et
al, 2002, pg 1). Problem solving and decision
making in demanding real-world situations can be
susceptible to acute stress effects which manifest
in a variety of ways depending on the type of
decision. The negative effects of an overload of
acute stress include attentional tunneling,
working memory loss, and r...

Republic portray what each author believes to be
the perfect society in which to live. They talk
about both the workings of and ways to possibly
achieve the perfect government. A Utopia is what
we call these ideologically inventions.
Traditionally, a Utopia is more of an ideological
goal than any kind of practical plan. Plato and
Bellamy however, from what I have heard believed
their visions to be very achievable. Attempting to

Perfect City City State
1,706 words
Plato, the Greek philosopher is considered to be
one of the greatest thinkers in history and is
called by one scholar the fountainhead through
which all western thought flows. In his book The
Republic he outlines what the perfect city-state
would look like and how it would operate. Along
his path of reason he makes no attempt to hide his
disdain for other political systems. That includes
democracy, a system he does not seem to agree
with. In fact, from what I read, Plato obviously
disagrees with...

Emotional And Rational Appeals Led To Suggest Subjects
391 words
Emotional and Rational Appeals Abstract In many
studies, data has been led to suggest that
rational messages may encourage the generation of
content based cognitive responses and lead to
attitudes heavily influenced by these cognition's.
Studies have also led to suggest that people in
negative moods are affected by the quality of
persuasive messages. Using manipulations
techniques, bad mood may result in a different
interpretation of anything from a verbal argument
to a literal message. Even tho...
