Racist Beliefs Ethnic Groups
870 words
Prejudice is ignorance. People who have prejudices
are raised to believe that they are normal and
acceptable, and that most people different from
them are not. Prejudice does not only apply to
race or ethnicity. It can apply to background,
sex, sexual preference, or nationality. Although
people who have prejudices may think otherwise,
not knowing that the definition of prejudice is a
preconceived opinion may lead them into thinking
that their beliefs are not wrong. It is, however,
thinking ill o...

Pain And Suffering Human Beings
1,135 words
When faced with the choice of sparing an animal's
life or saving a human being, most people would
reasonably choose to save the human. But are human
needs more important than non-human animals? Most
people think of animals as objects whose purpose
is to serve our desires and whims, whether for the
taste of their flesh, or the feel of their fur and
skin, or the profit that can be made from either
of these activities. Perhaps we should rethink the
multitude of ways we use animals for our purposes

World War Ii Problem Of Evil
1,682 words
... Also, if God lives within our linear time, he
cannot know what we will do in the future. The
future cannot depend on the past. For example, it
is a fact that the Titanic sank before World War
II. World War II happening depends on the Titanic
sinking. However, it does not make sense to say
that World War II is a cause of the Titanic
sinking. The argument does not make sense and
hence, God could not have divine foreknowledge
while existing in linear time as humans do because
foreseeing the fut...

was decapitated when he was chained behind a
pick-up and dragged down a country road, three men
are being held without bail on charges of capital

daddy. Now, I propo...

Human Beings Subject Matter

Kant starts off making two distinctions regarding
kinds of knowledge, empirical / rational and
formal / material . Empirical or experience-based
knowledge is compared with rational knowledge,
which is independent of experience. This
distinction between empirical and rational
knowledge rests on a difference in sources of
evidence used to support the two different kinds
of knowledge. Formal is compared with material
knowledge. Formal knowledge has no specific
subject matter; it is about the genera...
