Population Growth Carrying Capacity
1,300 words... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that this could only mean one thing: the resource is very abundant now, compared with the demand for that resource. However, the only thing that this means is that resources just aren't as scarce right now, as they used to be. One of the major causes for this is quite possibly the over-saturation of the market with such resources. Because mankind's economies are using the resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be as much scarcity as there once ...

Son Doesn't Act Act Like A Boy Kalish
1,083 wordsRHETORICAL ANALYSIS: MY SON DOES NOT ACT LIKE A BOY Nancy Kalish' article My Son Doesn't Act Like a Boy is a fine example of left-wing rhetoric, which is being showed up our throats for the last few decades. The author tries to sound academic in her line of arguments, but the arguments themselves, are emotionally based, therefore they can be easily brushed aside with the mean of logic. Kalish relies on pathos, while trying to make a point, which is no wonder, given the fact that she is a Liberal...

Does Darwinism Undermine Cartesian Dualism
1,858 wordsDoes Darwinism undermine Cartesian Dualism?
