Does the Theory of the Tripartite Soul Give Us Good Reason to be Just?

Introduction The well-known philosopher of Ancient Greece, Plato, presented the theory of the tripartite soul. However, the ideas, which consider the components of the soul to depend on the social system or have an impact on the human behavior, can as well belong to another genius of the same time, Socrates. Plato and Socrates, as two of the most prominent minds of the ancient times, questioned the features of the human personality under the terms of the natural instincts and the characteristics, which all people get with birth. In fact, all the thoughts of these two masters stand on ...

Introduction Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking. Although in most instances children depend on their direct experiences to react appropriately to risky situations it is apparent that parents also influence their ability to make sound decisions in such situations. When children are young most of these decisions are influenced by their parents since they control most of the activities they engage in. As children grow older, they start gaining independence in handling several tasks thus they take a greater responsibility for their decisions. ...

In spite of the fact that the world is so diverse and the West seems to be too far from the East, different parts of the world have a lot in common.

The youngest children in any family often have to go an extra mile to compete with their elder siblings since they are more mature and experienced at most things. Benjamin Franklin was the not any exception; he was the youngest son in the family. Therefore, he always tried to stand out from the rest of the siblings. Firstly, Benjamin Franklin was more eager to read and learn compared to his brothers. He started reading at a very age. As he says “my early readiness in learning to read (which must have been very early, as I do not remember ...

Discuss ‘Another Country’ as a Realistic Novel

Another Country is definitely the innovative and fresh novel of the time as it not only represents the tabooed topics and reveals carefully hidden truths but also gives the new lease of life to the genre of a realistic novel. This particular statement seems to be evident because James Baldwin made his book embody realistic novel’s main features, which are the reality, fidelity, docudrama, human psychology, complex characters, plot structure and narrative style (Shivaji University, 3).

Analysis of Leadership in the Film “Into the Wild”

Introduction It is difficult to define leadership. There are multiple opinions regarding this topic. Some experts think it is an innate ability of a person to lead; the others insist that there is no such thing as a natural born leader, as every individual has a potential for leadership. These are diametrically opposite views towards leadership, yet both of them have important points. Those who claim leaders are born, emphasize the significance of their relationship with family and resources available in the early age. The opposite view focuses on the training, learning, and the ability of a person to ...

Why do you think the IT presentation at the board meeting was scheduled as the last agenda item and given only 30 minutes? As evidenced by the way the firm regards IT, matters to do with It are not considered to be of much significance to the board.

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...

For instance, if a hedge fund executive had successful fiscal results for two years in a row, a lot of people would think that the hedge fund executive is himself above average, however this assumption is not considered valid, stemming from such a small number of years. Another example of this biased assumption is when you think you can guess if the next coin toss will be heads or tails, when the ...
