Response to Monty Hall Problem

Statistical information is based on the probability of something to happen. Even though it does not depict certainty but just the odds of something to happen, it still holds value in my opinion. If the statistics say odds are 50% or even 75% then I might not get influenced by them, but when it says there is 80% or 90% probability like in the case of disease example and the users of Acme toothpaste then I would consider it is a very healthy trend. It is not advantageous to switch to door 2 after having selected door ...

In this paper, I will discuss the present-at-hand and the ready-at-hand in Heidegger’s philosophy. Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) is a German philosopher who is often thought of in terms of the Existentialist movement in Continental philosophical tradition, but who did not prefer to be classified as an existentialist (McBride 131). Heidegger concerns himself with the deep metaphysical question of being in his book Being and Time — a job he never completed in his lifetime (Blattner 9). Heidegger has an ambitious project in his book — that is fundamentally to investigate being, a project he feels has been forgotten by philosophers ( ...

Since the United States is arguably the most natural disaster prone area in the whole world, it occurred to me that working at the center for Preparedness and Recovery might be wise career choice for me.
