Problem 1. Yowie

Part 1 The first stage was actually taking all the required physical measurements of all the group participants. They can be found in Tab.1: The only ratio we were familiar with was the one proposed by the assignment (height : arm span = 1 : 1), so we checked it. Based on our measurements we were able to make a conclusion that this ratio is actual but not precise. In our data, the ratios were: Courtney 167 : 160 = 1.04 : 1, Angela 169 : 170 = 1 : 1.01, Steev 176 : 180 = 1 : 1.02, Danielle 155 : 150 = ...

There is an anecdote about Wittgenstein that seems to encapsulate his presence in the minds of 20th and 21st century theorists; Keynes was waiting for Wittgenstein to arrive and spoke to his companion, ‘God has arrived and on the afternoon train.’ It is hardly presumptive to say that theories of language, logic, and philosophy writ large have been forever changed by wittgenstein. However, the particularities of these changes are often confused and misrepresented. The irony then is how such confusion and misrepresentation demonstrate the work Wittgenstein was trying to accomplish in the first place: to assess how language constructs ...

In any conflict, argument or even debate it is standard practice to call for rational thinking and presentation of points. Irrationality is perceived as a negative attribute in a good negotiator. However, Robert Benjamin in his paper series, “Irrationality of Being Rational” argues that human beings are inherently irrational perhaps because of evolution, and therefore the expectation rationality is actually irrational. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and analyze the articles by Robert Benjamin where he explains his concept of the irrationality of being too rational. It is common knowledge that human beings are never truly rational ...
