Advertisement is the key to success in selling goods, if the sellers have researched the audience well enough. Some advertisements are meant to change human behavior fro better. Advertisements for changing human behavior are far more difficult than selling goods.

Since the dawn of our human civilization, people have been trying to find the most effective way of building their behavior. Historically, the patterns of people’s activity have been directly connected to the society itself. Therefore, the social and political utility of the human operations is one of the determining factors. As a result, the behavior of the community, formed by the patterns of personalities, has become an extremely complex system of reasons and consequence. Hannah Arendt addresses the topic of the human being’s behavior in the context of the political history. The Human Condition is her ...

In “Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: A Review,” C.S. Lewis famously said: “The value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity” (Lewis). The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and The Fellowship of the Ring, are two examples of fantasy novels that support this statement. The former tells the story of some children who are evacuated to the countryside, only to discover the land of Narnia in a wardrobe. The book evokes themes such as good vs. ...

Business, Company and Conveyancing Law

Part B Q. 1 Salomon v Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897) is a landmark case on the incorporation, features, and nature of companies. The case is important in the formation of businesses in some respects. Firstly, the significance of the case with regards to the formation of companies is that it introduced the principle of a company being a separate, autonomous, distinct or independent entity from the owners or even the promoters of the enterprise.

The Association between Physical Activity and Level of Depression among Youths in the United States proposal

Introduction According to a recent presentation by The Center for Disease and Control and Prevention, frequent physical activity among youths and adolescents is an important factor in enhancing strength, stamina and is helpful in building healthy bones and muscles (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015). It was also discovered that physical activities are a critical factor in reducing stress and depression among the youths. Failing to engage in regular physical activity has been established to cause obesity and overweight as well as other health related complications (Azevedo Da Silva et al., 2012). Thus implementing a regular physical activity ...

It goes without saying that religion is a very debatable issue. Therefore, every person is the society has an own opinion and worldview about this issue. There lots of reasons why people are afraid of God and religion in general. Some of them have never thought about it in a thorough way, the others have been too shy and have been scared even of a reaction of their friends or family, in case they have a different opinion about it. Share Jesus without Fear is a little book but full of understandable and wise words. This book helps to ...

The law recognizes the deeds of individuals who dominate the magnitude to shape the proper purpose of executing particular actions as lawful (Cole 20). Two angels of magnitude are acknowledged: the cognitive capacity to shape the purpose of executing an action, and the majority, or the objective step of the power to shape a legal intention. It is affirmed that when kids reach a particular age, their power to shape the proper intention matures. It is at this point that a child can be considered answerable for his or her deeds. The “age of majority,” which is 18 years ...

According to me, a leader is one who inspires others through his actions. The actions of leaders are always inspired by self-awareness. Leaders have certain impeccable characters that distinguish them from ordinary individuals. In other words, leaders are principle-centered that makes them stick on to certain cherished values, regardless of the challenges they encounter from time to time (Covey, 1991). No wonder, leaders who allow their actions to speak rather than their words motivate others to do what they do, which in turn creates more and more future leaders. A good leader develops a good team of employees; together, ...

While the English language is constantly evolving, the overuse of words in the wrong context diminishes their meaning and value. The word “hero” is constantly being used, especially in the media, to apply to anything from sporting personalities to sporting shoes (Nike, 2016) to sandwiches. The book by Christopher and Smith (2007), entitled Greatest Sports Heroes of All Time, uses the word “hero” in the wrong context. In this context, the word “hero”” has been widely used to describe any person of prominence in the sporting world who has ever achieved something noteworthy, when in fact these people, while ...

Purpose Statement

Introduction Nehemiah 1: 5-11 is a prayer that demonstrates the importance of faith in pursuing the moral path in relation to the cultural values that one holds. The characteristics that are presented within this passage demonstrate the importance of belonging to a community, which transcends the boundaries of the physical world. Within the passage, Nehemiah prays for the success of the request he made to Artaxerxes to help his people, who had been defeated and broken, many in captivity or exiled. With the gates and walls of Jerusalem broken their sense of safety and community had been destroyed. In ...

Introduction

Love is the most common and the most uncommon thing ever. The first epithet is characteristic for love, as this thing happens (or at least is supposed to happen) in everyone’s life regardless of life, whereas the word “uncommon” is natural for love as well, as it is as unique in every life as possible. Therefore, stories of Kalidasa and Chretien de Troyes are read with lightness; however the times of their creation have been covered with dust for many long years. Such lightness can be explained with the mere fact that authors touch such eternal topics, which ...

The well-known fact is that Ms. Clinton responded to the Arab ...

Soldiers, upon coming home from the battlefield, are regarded as heroes and are awarded with medals and achievements. However, these soldiers do not see these things as apt compensation for the things they have seen and done in the battlefield. Their lives which have been embroiled in active battle have warped their personality and view of the world that some fail to adjust to a normal life. Though some people exhibit more severe cases of PTSD, the cause of this can be rooted out as the result of their killing people and of seeing other people get killed. The ...

People are very complicated creatures. It is hard to say where they come from, what rules they obey and what final point they go to. However, some writers and scientists have made a couple of attempts to understand what are the reasons and purposes of people`s behaviour and some of their deeds. Mark Twain is one of those people who were trying to judge people and highlight the morals they use in their lives. He studied the traits and dispositions of the “lower animals” and of people using the scientific method (Twain 179) He stated his attitude towards ...

Property deeds are very important in the real estate market, as they confer ownership of a house or real estate property from the owner to the seller. There are several different types of deeds, usually distinguished between the purposes of the buy; is the buyer making the purchase for a business, or as an individual consumer? Deeds have historical relevance, as various methods were historically used to officially confer ownership of a property to a new owner. Deeds must have several elements to be legally binding (Folger, 2011). They must be in writing to be official, as verbal sales ...

The article by Marceta Reilly “Getting Genuine Commitment for Change” (2015), discusses several responses of employees in the education area to the changes proposed by leaders: principals and coaches. The author of the article argues that it is natural to react to new initiatives and practices with resistance and be reluctant to accept innovation. The reason, according to Reilly (2015), is that people feel secure and comfortable when doing their job in customary ways, and are alarmed when changes affect these traditional ways, which they are accustomed with. Often they do not see a need to change anything in ...

Introduction

Born in India, on the territory of present-day Nepal, Buddha not only influenced Indian culture and spiritually, but has also become one of the world’s most appreciated systems of belief. Buddhism emerged at a very specific moment in the history of India, when the changes in the political and philosophical realm coincided with the different problems in the society (Begum 2013). Buddhism, which emerged as a new and surprising religion, contradicted many of the Brahmanical beliefs which people in India shared in the 6th century B.C. The Buddha’s concerns and the vision on the society, which is ...

In our own time, the morality play is just as popular as it was back in the Tudor period, when Everyman was written. Even though we like to think of ourselves as libertines, set free from the morals that we like to consider as archaic, when someone comes crashing down ethically, we still like to pop some popcorn and watch. The lesson about human nature from Everyman is just as valid now as it was then. Despite the fact that Everyman wants such companions as Fellowship and Kindred to go to his judgment with him, but they will not; ...

Discussion Board

Martin Luther is one of the most famous personalities of the Reformation. Though the well-known “95 Theses” were placed on the church doors in Wittenberg as a means of a dialogue with the clergy, they had a significant influence on the history of the church as well as on development of the individual identity. In Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences, Luther criticizes one of the common attributes of the church of the 15th and 16th centuries – the indulgences, or the documents, sold by clergymen, which allowed buying the penance. He writes that “ ...

Introduction Death, as a form of punishment, is being practiced even in the earliest days of human civilization. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, during the time of Hammurabi, have been observed to perform death sentences on certain transgressions and immoral acts, as determined by their codes . Similarly, the Hebrews has also been using death as a capital punishment for several transgressions under their law. The traditional Law of Moses, which can also be read in the Christian bible, is, in fact, a relic of the age old tradition of exacting death penalty that has been practiced for ...

The Professor’s Name

Buddhism and Hinduism are 2 of the 5 religions that are most popular in the current world. Both of these religions are widely practiced and have deep roots in history. In the rating of the most popular religions, Hinduism follows Christianity and Islam and takes the 3rd place (Nandan, G. B. and Jangubhai, N. A. M., 2013). The first written documents that contain the principles of Hinduism are called Vedas. They were copied on paper in 1000 B.C., but it is evident that they appeared long before that time in an oral form. Both Buddhism and Hinduism appeared in ...

Philosophy

Introduction “So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.”- Ernest Hemingway. The above quote by an eminent American writer speaks volume of the involvement of perception of different individuals in deciding any action, morally right or wrong. Some philosophers also had this belief that every individual has an inner voice, which can never encourage you to do anything wrong. However, it is necessary to listen to the same extremely attentively. They refer this inner voice as the voice of ...

With respect to the analysis of her character in the novel, there are some stark contradictions affixed to her ...

Introduction

The Bhagavad Gita is a set of sermons given by Lord Krishna to his nephew Arjuna who was caught in a mental dilemma where he was unable to decide between lifting arms and annihilating his own relatives who were against him and his brothers (Pavulraj, 2014). The sole purpose of the entire scripture was to demystify the connection between the humans and the God. Lord Krishna holds the religious value of being an incarnation of lord Vishnu who is among the three main deities in the Hinduism. Thus, although literally, the message of Bhagavad Gita was to inculcate the ...

Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Confucius are enjoying a meal of steamed dumplings and Kung pal chicken at P.F. Chang’s Restaurant. They are discussing the question: “What is the meaning of life?” I happen to be sitting on a table near them and I can overhear their conversation. Buddha begins the conversation by posing the question to the other three.

Buddha: What is the meaning of life?

Mohammed: (Looking up from his meal and putting on a serious face) I believe that life is sacred and a gift entrusted to humans by God. Every human being should live his life with skill and ...

Philosophy

Phil Comment Brian J Thomas Aquinas argues that a world without war is not an absolute value, war is necessary for the freedom of people. At the moment this statement is used by politicians all over the world, but, unfortunately, for the sake of their own goals. According to Plato people really lived under an illusion, but they tried about the true world of ideas only in vague shadows on the cave wall. This is true for the modern world, people do not know and see many things.

What can unite these philosophers?

Introduction

Studies on psychology and cognition have shown that a child’s language has a great impact on his/her ability to regulate his emotions and behavior. In order for two people to understand and share meaning with one another, a clear ground should first be laid out to avoid misunderstandings. A study involving 120 children aged 18 months to 4 years old showed that participants who had superior language skills expressed less anger upon reaching 4 years old (Roben, Cole, & Armstrong, 2012). Most children in their early stages learn to use language as a means of self-expression and self-regulation, because ...

Marie Curie's contribution to science cannot be overemphasized. Her work in Physics and Chemistry do not lose its relevance to this day, and, without her discoveries, it is not possible to imagine the study of radioactivity. And yet, her role in history is important not only because of the scientific achievements. The great importance of a time, when they were made, gives Marie Curie's breakthroughs so much significance: the time when women did not have the opportunity to study, not to mention the scientific activity. Dedication, perseverance, and faith in that she is doing the right things helped Marie ...

ISLAMIC SUFISM

Introduction There has been a profound link between the art and the spiritual depth of humans because the true form of art is assumed to be a reflection of the various thoughts, beliefs, and emotions existent in the spirit of the individuals. Religion is a definite medium to address all the above three aspects of humans and therefore, religion has an equally significant impact on the artworks as well. Like all the other prominent religions of the world, Sufism (Islam) is highly capable of reflecting the core facets of spiritual refinement, precision, and profundity in its art forms. The ...

Compare and contrast Achilles in Dante’s Inferno and Homer’s Iliad

Compare and contrast Achilles in Dante’s Inferno and Homer’s Iliad

Introduction

Dante Alighieri in his legendary text, Inferno, believes that anyone who committed unacceptable deeds would be damned eternally among the nine circles of Hell. Without a doubt, people like Achilles were to be found in these circles. Specifically, Achilles existed in Hell’s second circle. He qualified for this circle by being not only extremely selfish but lacking self-control, having raging passions and betraying his country at times. These descriptions paint Achilles largely in weakness. His description of Hell focuses mainly on his failings rather than his ...

The Sermon on the Mount is the most famous of Jesus’s sermons presented in the New Testament. It covered such moral issues as anger and murder, adultery and lust, oaths and revenge, and many other keen issues that have been actual within the thousands of years to the present time.

Introduction The Catholic Action is a group of young people who come together to interact, share issues concerning the youth and do their share of service to the church. It is a society with so much potential to produce quality leaders. Through interacting with their peers, youths get to understand what society considers okay and what it sees as not alright. Ethics are an integral part of modern day society. Without them, the harmonious state in which society operates would turn into one of chaos. Whether through religious teachings or simply from one's conscience, the ethical choice is always ...

The Categorical Imperative

It is categorical because it does not depend on a person’s specific wish and imperative because means a command of a reason. According to Kant, it is not ethical or moral to use other people in order to achieve your personal goals or gain a profit. For example, if you need money and there is somebody who can lend it to you but you know exactly that you cannot afford to pay the debt it is not right to borrow. Kant considers ...

Although China is known to be the home of the world's ancient and most continuous culture, it has experienced many institutional changes since the Communist regime came into power in 1949. In China, foundation of hierarchy and family, social set up was based on relational norms that were expounded by Confucius and Tang Dynasty's legal codes. Such an institutionalized relational kind of logic has shaped the society whereby the order is based on the social obligation to the authorities and family as opposed to the protection of individuals. The country’s history has been marked by two intertwined social ...

Buddhism is a way of life that has always fascinated me. The principles of Buddhism and the philosophical elements have always attracted me to know more about the religion. This paper is an effort to elaborate why Buddhism is of interest to me as a student in religious studies. Buddha Shakyamuni is believed to be the founder of Buddhism. He lived and preached in the Indian subcontinent some two thousand five hundred years back. From that time onwards, a huge number of people from around the world have adopted the unpolluted spiritual route of Buddhism and the preaching based ...

The Vimalakirti is essential in understanding vague passages of the Koan for it details the concept of enlightenment through Buddha’s words through the use of narratives derived from Buddha’s conversation with the Bodhisattvas.

In this respect, two texts dealing with the argument have been tackling the issue of attaining enlightenment. According to the Vimalakirti sutra, when the Buddha was asked by his fellow men in order to attain enlightenment, they gave him gifts to become an enlightened ...

They discuss the decree given by the new ruler, Creon, which has prohibited any mourning of the two brothers. Antigone comes out as courageous and daring while Ismene appears to be more timid and non-confrontational. Antigone wants to go against the decree by the new King by going ahead to bury her brother and seeks Ismene’s help who, however, declines and opts to follow the King's law. This is seen in Ismene’ ...

Criminal Justice: Women in Prison

In this paperwork, I am going to discuss issues in the incarceration of women such as mental illness, pregnancy, substance use, separation of family, as well as the environment. When the term Prisons is mentioned, we automatically switch our mind to young men, since approximately ninety percent of inmates are male, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It is important to note that the proportion of imprisoned women is small, but this proportion consists of hundreds of thousand women, at present, living behind bars in the United States. Currently, the number of women wedged in the criminal justice ...

The study of human beings and their ways of living has been an ongoing activity for many scholars for as long as the human race has been in existence. Different populations of human beings exhibit different social, economic and political ideals and the degree of variations depends on the regional distance one population is from another. Variations are notable in human elements such as culture orientations and cultural beliefs, the social activities embraced by these population groups, the major economic activities and occupations of members of these populations and the political ideologies subscribed upon by these population groups.

Augustine of Hippo and His View of Election As Regards Salvation

Biography Augustine of Hippo, or more popularly known as St. Augustine, was the child of St. Monica. However, despite a religious upbringing, Augustine spent most of his young life in blasphemous beliefs and immoral lifestyle. Although he was a remarkably intelligent person and had been indoctrinated to the Christian faith early in life, his sins of wickedness and his self-glorification corrupted his thoughts too much, that he became completely blind to the Divine Truth. Augustine's mother, Monica, was a devout Christian, while his father supported paganism for most of his life, merely converting to Christianity prior to his death. ...

The Existence of God: God is dead by Nietzsche

In a parable contained in his book titled “The Gay Science” Nietzsche made a controversial statement where he claimed that God is dead. Indeed, this statement elicited many opposing opinions not only because it appears inflammatory on the face of it, but also because of the philosophical weight it carried. Contained in the parable of “The Madman”, the text indicated, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under ...

Matthew, the Evangelist, and apostle came from Capernaum. His father was Alphaeus and he was devoted to the Hebrew religion first. His birth name was Levi but he called himself Matthew. Matthew worked as a tax collector. Jesus asked him to give up his work and join Him because Levi knew human psychology well and had some good business habits that would be useful in his future missionary work. Those features of Matthew’s personality gave him an opportunity to make a way to the hearts of sinful and unfaithful people and convert them. In Acts 1:1-15 Matthew is ...

The modern world is a wonderful place with millions of chances and possibilities for everyone. A person may find good in everything that surrounds them; however, there is also different side of the world that is full of evil. Evil is something morally wrong and wicked that may cause harm or pain. It is difficult to find the only objective root of evil, as it is actually everywhere, waiting for a person at every corner. My best guess would be that the humans with their free will are the sources of the most evil deeds on this planet, as ...

that we can read about in all four Gospels. Despite His grief, Jesus returned from the deserted place and started healing ill people who came a long way on foot from the city in order to see Him and listened to Him.

(Matt. 14:10-14 New King James Version) When the evening came, the apostles asked Jesus to send the multitude away because people were hungry and exhausted and it would take them ...

This paper will take a look at free will. It will bring out the views of two philosophers, Ayer, and Chisholm, and try to discuss the similarities and differences in their views. The paper will also state which of the two authors gave a better view of free will. In the statements, a justification will be drawn. Incompatibilists claim for that for people to have free will, then they should do otherwise than what they have done. This brings out the PAP (the principle of alternate possibilities. In other words, they define an act of free will if the ...

Augustine and Pelagius on Nature and Grace

In the 5th century, in the Church of Rome, the theological debate arises about the balance of forces of human nature and the grace of God in the salvation of man. Long before the separation of the Churches, the theological debate has significant influences on the development of Western Christianity both in the Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions. Particularly, the debate focused with the two important and outstanding names of the history, the Father of the Western Church, Saint Augustine of Hippo with his counterpart monk Pelagius, both are involved of this argument. Correspondingly, the Pelagian controversy has changed ...

There are many people living today who do not have moral codes or ethics, and this is one of the reasons as to why there is so much suffering in the world. People are selfish and refuse to lend others money, and there are plenty of terrorist attacks/schools shootings occurring. In other words, if more people had core values, then there would be more room for peace and less suffering than there is currently. Now, since I am someone who enjoys helping people and being compassionate, I do have a code of ethics that I live by, and they ...

A child is a young human being who is below they age of puberty and behaves in a way that suggests that the human being is a child.
