Human Nature As Competitive
457 words
Thomas Hobbes believes that humans are born equal.
He means the bodies and minds of newborn people
are of equal ability. One person sometimes becomes
stronger in body or quicker in mind than another.
When one becomes stronger in body, the person can
claim he is better than another is. This causes
other people around him to become threatened and
jealous by the stronger person. People are more
equal when it come to wisdom of the mind, because
almost all people think they have more wisdom than
the ...

... The other women chant: 'She has come into a
world of trouble: sickness is in the world, and
cold and pain; the pain you knew, the sickness
with which you were familiar'. The mother prays
on: 'Let her sleep in peace, for there is healing
in sleep. Let none among you be angry with me or

become full-grown. Then will she offer such a
sacrifice to you that will delight your heart'

A major legacy left by classical Greece was a
government based on direct democracy. With a
direct democracy, citizens ruled by majority vote.
The citizenship was expanded to all free males,
except foreigners. Those not considered citizens
were women, slaves, and all foreigners. In 621 b.
c. e. , Draco, an Athenian lawmaker wrote the
first legal code. In the legal code Draco dealt
with contract and property ownership, it also
included debt slavery. In classical Greece,
citizens were also allowed ...

Back And Forth Common Sense
620 words
My family and I often take vacations during the
summer for relaxation, or to visit family,
etcetera. On one such vacation, I learned a
valuable lesson. Parents were created to teach
their children little nuggets of common sense, but
it is up to the children to listen. We were
visiting the Central American country of Honduras.
It was a bright, sunny, and hot summer day. Taking
a break from sight seeing, and the heat, we took
refuge in a tropical style restaurant for lunch.
It was a two-story rest...

... thing they need to keep them happy. It's
obviously foolish to say that a youth in the
middle class would want a more wealthier
lifestyle. So I now go directly to the worse
things about living in the middle class as a
youth. A middle class youth, in my opinion, is
nothing more that a living lump of clay. They are
easily molded by those that wish to control them,
or they are able to mold themselves into the
person they want to become... for better, or for
worse. What I mean when I say, "Molded...

System Of Value One

Against this we have an opposing tendency: 'Human
kind cannot bear very much reality. ' I want to
look at existentialism under two categories though
it belongs with neither of them. It belongs
properly, perhaps, in the field of religion, but
it is to be met with in philosophy and psychology.
Existentialism is both philosophy in a special
sense and a valency. This doesn't quite coincide
with theory and practice but it may be a helpful
division into two parts. Wittgenstein remarked
that the purpos...

Future Society B C

Socrates wrote nothing himself. What we know of
him comes from the writings of two of his closest
friends, Xenophon and Plato. Although Xenophon (c.
430 -c. 354 B. C. ) did write four short portraits
of Socrates, it is almost to Plato alone that we
know anything of Socrates. Plato (c. 427 - 347 B.
C. ) came from a family of ariston, served in the
Peloponnesian War, and was perhaps Socrates' most
famous student. He was twenty-eight years old when
Socrates was put to death. At the age of forty,

5 Th Century Fifth Century

The political and social upheaval caused by the
Persian Wars as well as continued strife between
Athens and Sparta had at least one unintended
consequence. In the 5 th century, a flood of new
ideas poured into Athens. In general, these new
ideas came as a result of an influx of Ionian
thinkers into the Attic peninsula. Athens had
become the intellectual and artistic center of the
Greek world. Furthermore, by the mid- 5 th
century, it had become more common for advanced
thinkers to reject traditi...

St. Augustine use of allegory compared to
symbolism in the visual arts We can explain St.
Augustine's interest in emotional aspect of
symbolism and allegories by fact that Augustine
was a professional shrewd critic of poetry and an

contemporaries both by allegory and symbolism to

Buddhism Using Socratic Reasoning

Buddhism using Socratic Reasoning For my essay I
have taken two different Buddhist notions: Karma
and Nirvana. The proof of their difference lies in
the fact that they belong to different, if not
opposite, aspects in the philosophy of Buddhism.
Karma is the notion that refers to the punishment
for human actions, intentions or deeds and may
occur in the short-term or long-term haul; whereas
Nirvana is highly desired by buddhists, it is an
award for pains-taking efforts, that can be
described as a...

Adam And Eve First Confession

use symbolism to describe particular scenes
without actually saying the words, which adds to
the interest of the story. In Frank OConnors story

enhance the readers insight of the story. Also,
the symbolism offered by the authors provides the

Town People Lived His Life

Although Gimpel did not die a fool he lived his
life primarily as a fool. Singer? s use of "
Gimpel the Fool" demonstrated two lower
levels of the human scale. The first is the
coward? s ability to justify to himself the
reasoning behind his behavior. The second is the
crowd? s ability to pick out the weakling and
exploit him for their own amusement. Gimpel proved
he was a fool by all that he did. He allowed
himself to be cornered, prodded, and teased yet he
never stood up for himself ...

How ever long that we the people stay here on
Earth, that is how long prejudice will last. We
have tried to abolish prejudice, but it always

Twenty Thousand Men Plans For Revenge
1,394 words
The purpose of this paper is to explicate a
soliloquy spoken by Hamlet in Act IV, scene IV,
lines 32 - 66 of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Prince of
Denmark. This soliloquy illustrates a significant
change in Hamlets personality. Up until this
point, Hamlet maintains his act of madness and
insults everyone he meets. He is very indecisive
and submissive. For example, in Act II, Hamlet
resolves that the plays the thing wherein Ill

Herman Hesse is one of the world? s most necessary

Literature in 1946, however, he was virtually
unknown outside of German speaking countries.
Since then he has been an icon for the young every

same struggles that many aspiring students face.
Many of his characters (often sharing his
initials, i. e. Harry Haller of Steppenwolf)
struggle within a world that seeks to extinguish
individual creativity. Born in...

Eight Fold Path One Can Find
1,304 words
Buddhism versus Hinduism Hinduism, originating in
India in the year 1500 B. C. , is the oldest
living religion. Because of this, many
sociologists refer to Hinduism as been archaic. It
is the most complex, diverse, and most tolerant of
all world religions. The reason for it s tolerance
is that it meets the challenge of other religions,
not by creating war and conflict, but by absorbing
them and their practices and beliefs into the
mainstream of Hinduism. One can find within
Hinduism almost any f...
