The gun control debate has been raging in the open parlance for quite sometimes, at least everybody in America feels the need to be safe, and the only controversy is how to be safe; by allowing more guns to civilians or by withdrawing or limiting the number of guns held by civilians?

In the op-ed “In ‘The Piano Lesson,’ a Family Fight Over an Heirloom Rooted in Slavery” by Ken Jaworowski posted in The New York Times last 26 Jan 2016, the author describes the method of acting by the performers. There are several words and ways that can be used to describe the different aspects of a play, but to be able to do it in an objective manner is not easy. Theatrical performances generally involve emotions, and in writing a review about on, it is difficult to move away from capitalizing on the emotions implied while staying objective about ...

The Mayan apocalyptic predictions of 2012 have long since passed, and civilization has essentially moved on from its portents of doom and gloom. However, with Gregg Braden’s Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age, elements of self-help spiritualism and pseudo-math are combined to create a work of New Age spiritualism that, while certainly illuminating to the converted, will not successfully convince those looking for philosophies to the universe that require greater rigor. Looking at the book through an air of skepticism, Fractal Time fails to convince, poorly using its own research and loosely connecting information together ...

Philosophy is an interesting discipline as it tries to find answers to several challenging aspects of man and the processes of nature.

In the West, realism and romanticism were two competing cultural thoughts and artistic styles aimed at communicating the interactions/relationships between mankind and nature. Romantics associated with Plato emphasized on individual heroic achievement, power of emotions and mysticism dominating the European intellectual life while realists associated with Aristotle focused art and literature to more tangible matters with the ...

Reader Log: Joe’s TED Talk

In Joe’s TED Talk about how to use a paper towel, I found many fascinating instances of the use of facts and opinions, particularly in the context of the speaker. The opening use of the facts at hand were particularly interesting; when Smith opened with the long number, “Five hundred seventy-one million two hundred thirty thousand pounds of paper towels are used by Americans every year,” this already seems like a high number, which impresses the audience. However, Smith soon corrects himself affably and says “13 billion used every year”; while this seems like a mistake, it actually makes that second ...

A decisive interpretation to this clause has been quite elusive. Since its ratification, only a few cases have found its way to the Supreme Court while the court’s decision has not helped clarify the matter more than being ...
