Organized Religion African Americans
1,479 words
Why does evil exist? This is the question theodicy
asks. Why would an all-loving, all-good, and
all-powerful God allow suffering to take place? In
this class, we " ve tried to understand varying
answers to this question and others from many
different perspectives: psychological, feminist,
artistic, and African-American. Throughout this
course we " ve read many authors who have tried
to, if at least partially, solve the problem of
suffering for themselves and for all of us as
well. The movie Dogm...

Cause And Effect Point Of View
771 words
I would like to start by stating that the
arguments I will present about David Humes An
Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding are not
going to be leaning completely towards his point
of view or against it due to the fact that I agree
with certain views on his philosophy and disagree
with others. In Of the Origin of Ideas, Hume
divides all perceptions into two basic kinds:
impressions, which are the livelier and more vivid
perceptions; and ideas, which are less lively

Human Soul Religious Ideas
1,334 words
One of the most interesting topics discussed by
early philosophers is mortality and what happens
to the human soul after death. Of the pre-Socratic
philosophers, Pythagoras and Heraclitus are the
two noteworthy philosophic thinkers on this
subject. This paper will discuss the views of both
Pythagoras and Heraclitus in regards to death and
the soul and how their thoughts are similar and
differ. For instance, I will explain how each
would respond to the following questions. What
happens to the hum...

Balance Of Power School Of Thought

Much of written history displays the conquests of
the most powerful nations over less powerful ones.
This has led to ever-changing territories as
nations have been conquered or have conquered
others and the most powerful nations or alliances
of nations hold the ultimate authority. Especially
in the past century, however, there has not been
one major world power but many powerful
nation-states capable of dominating the smaller
nation-states around them. Before World War One, a

Fast Food: The Ultimate Step towards Devastation
The deaths exceed thousands each year, almost as

issue, there is a simple solution; the solution is
school foods. I, and many others, extremely

Cures Itself Over Time 28 710 371 400 Symptoms

Dear US Health Department, Do you agree with
having every person in America spend a total of $
28, 710, 371, 400 to eliminate mononucleosis? I
strongly disagree with making every person in the
United States pay $ 100 to eliminate mono. One
reason is because the symptoms are minor and
harmless. I also disagree because modular fever
cures itself over time. Lastly because there are
other more important things that $ 28, 710, 371,
400 could be used for. In my opinion it would be
foolish to have ever...

Living In Poverty Pro Lifers
1,299 words
In life, everybody makes choices, choices whose
effects can be temporary or choices that may make
waves in ones life permanently. In my opinion,
abortion should be a choice that one is able to
make. It may make permanent or temporary changes,
but if one is ultimately ready to deal with these
changes and can make the adult decision to abort,
it the right given to us as American women. Many
people believe that this issue of abortion rights
is moral, but it is also a Constitutional issue.

Goods And Services Aggregate Demand

Macroeconomics Monetary policy is the matter of a
controversy between two schools of economics,
monetarist and Keynesian. Although Monetarists and
Keynesian's agree on goals, at some points, they
disagree over the effectiveness of monetary and
fiscal policies that affect real output. In this
paper, I will discuss the key theoretical
assumptions that creates this difference.
Monetarists and Keynesian's disagree on

Banning Guns Gun Control
1,002 words
When you mention gun control, many things come to
mind. School shooting, the Brady Law, second
amendment rights, and kids killing kids, these
issues have prompted a controversy over guns and
whether they are a menace to society. There are
many types of guns and each contributes to crime
differently. The smaller more easily concealed
weapons, like handguns and sawed off shotguns are
most likely to be used in crime. While the larger
firearms, rifles, have a slightly lower reported
incidence of cri...

listening carefully. Most people never listen.
Ernest Hemingway. Often when a misunderstanding
occurs, it is attributed to a lack of
communication, which most of the time implies that
whoever was delivering the message did not do an
effective job. But what about the other side, the
listener? Listening is important. It is the
communication skill most often used in human
interaction. Between 45 and 55...

Antidepressant Drugs P 212

In Issue 13 of Taking Sides, the controversial
question Have Antidepressant Drugs Proven to be
Effective is analyzed. Psychiatrist Peter D.
Kramer argues in this issue that antidepressant
drugs can transform depressed patients into happy
people with almost no side effects (p. 212). On
the contrary, professors of psychology Seymour
Fisher and Roger P. Greenberg claim that the
studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of
antidepressants are seriously flawed (p. 212).

Views On Censorship Hands Of Children Plato
1,063 words
Plato's three main objections to poetry are that
poetry is not ethical, philosophical or pragmatic.
It is not ethical because it promotes undesirable
passions, it is not philosophical because it does
not provide true knowledge, and it is not
pragmatic because it is inferior to the practical
arts and therefore has no educational value. Plato
then makes a challenge to poets to defend
themselves against his criticisms. Ironically it
was Plato's most famous student, Aristotle, who
was the first theo...

Locke And Rousseau State Of Nature
423 words
Locke and Rousseau were two philosophers of the
Enlightenment. Both wrote extensively and
developed theories of the human nature and how men
governed themselves. Both philosophers agree that
before civilized man began to govern himself, man
existed in a state of nature. That is, humans
lacked society or structure. Rousseau argues that
this was and still is the perfect state for man,
where he is free, autonomous and virtuous.
Government and civil society is developed only to
protect property, and...
