Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

La Jetée (1962) is a short science fiction film by Chris Marker. It is twenty-eight minutes long, totally in black and white, and it is comprised of a series of photos. The film describes a post-war experiment using time travel from the past to the future and vice versa in post-apocalyptic France. The director uses time travel by employing two techniques: the power of memory through a fairy tale’s illusion and the effect of photography. Like ‘Snow White’ and ‘Briar Rose’, La Jetée is a fairy tale, a political fairytale. It begins with a story of ...

Is Evolution True?

Is Evolution True? Development can be defined as the fundamental process whereby species that are new develop from earlier species through accumulated changes. Sometimes an evolution is described as "descent with modification". As this process of speciation continues to take place, many species start to appear thus becoming increasingly different, and this continues over time and becomes a pattern. Through many observations of the changes in life forms over time, these models have been developed. Charles Darwin explains that the mechanism on hoe evolution occurs is by natural selection. Having constantly been observed, natural selection role in being the ...

- Factors in phenotypic variations Factors in phenotypic variation consist of: Variation in phenotype (Vp); Variation in phenotypes caused by genetic variation (Vg); Variation of phenotype caused by environment (Ve); Variation in phenotype caused by interaction of genotype and environment (Vgxe). In addition to the above factors, phenotypic variation is also influenced by effects of genotype on phenotypes.

- Additive genetic variation formula shows that Va is influenced by phenotypes (p), additive (a) and dominance (d). As population evolves, the values of p, a, and d change. Consequently, Va value also changes. Based on the narrow sense heritability formula, change in Va ...

Gender stereotyping involves simplistic generalizations concerning gender attributes, individual roles and differences. These stereotypes could result into negative or positive impacts on one or both genders. However, stereotypes are not the true or accurate reflection of what they communicate. They are mainly composed of gender assumptions with no evidence to support. There are different stereotypes for different genders. Stereotypes have changed over time as human beings and society evolves and research has rendered some of the stereotypes null and void.

Female stereotypes are those unproven beliefs about female members of the society. In most societies, the stereotypes begin as ...

1. Liberalism and Feminist theorist 

Central to the theory and practice of Liberalism is the freedom of individuals to make choices that will result to social outcomes. This particular school of thought believes that “the purpose of society is the advance of freedom, equality, and human happiness” (Auster, 2007, LA reply section). It is important to note though that when one person chooses not to respect the freedom and rights of other people, this violates the concept and therefore could not be considered under Liberalism. The various forms of liberalism: economic, social and political, adopt the central tenet, albeit in different contexts.

Liberalism, ...

Introduction

The problem of crime is a prevalent one in the society. Law enforcement works toward ensuring the least possible of such occurrence as would be termed criminal activity. In order for this, the process utilizes criminal risk assessment as means to determine the probability of criminal activity. Criminal risk assessment allows the system to determine whether a criminal is likely to perpetrate an act of crime again. In this manner, law enforcement assures the society of a more secure environment. The process of risk assessment engages more than one tool for assessment in order to ensure the highest possible levels of accuracy. ...

The human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, is among the quickest known evolving entities. It multiplies sloppily, piling up lots of mutations during the process of copying its genetic material. It also multiplies at a high speed where one virus can breed billions of copies in only a single day. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS, was first acknowledged as a new disease in the year 1981 during which rising numbers of youthful homosexual men died of strange opportunistic infections, as well as unusual malignancies (Greene). A retrovirus, now referred to as human immunodeficiency virus type 1, HIV-1, was later on keyed out as the ...

Breaking Bad is a crime drama that aired from 2008 to 2013 and received a lot of controversial feedback from the publicity.

Not only that, but Walter White suffers from other circumstances that he does not know how to deal with: unemployed pregnant wife, terminally ill child and huge debts for cancer treatment. As a result of these issues, Walter finds ...

Faulkner remains one of America’s iconic writers still studied in higher education today for his style of writing engaging the reader in his characters. His characters in “As I Lay Dying” are no different in their challenge to the reader placing their symbolic meaning in the themes Faulkner incorporates in this story of a sequence of tragedies. “As I Lay Dying” exhibits an almost textbook example of a dysfunctional family of poor white Southerners on a farcical journey where the reader becomes familiar with the characters through Faulkner’s use of them several of them as the narrator of this tale. ...

Conflicts are perverse events in health care environments. Conflicts can be resolved through a number of ways. The most efficient approach is the one that creates a win-win situation for all parties to a conflict. This goal is not always achievable though. Health care managers should be able to utilize the different conflict resolution strategies as appropriate. They must also be well-versed with the conflict development process. This paper will describe the five stages of conflict and the six commonly utilized conflict resolution approaches. Conflict evolves through five stages namely latent conflict, perceived conflict, felt/affective conflict, manifest/overt conflict, and conflict aftermath. ...

The Flu is Heading to the Zoo

The bird flu in China has raised a growing concern to medical researchers who are attempting to study the genetic behavior and sequences of the H7N9 virus together with other H7 strains and avian influenzas. Three people have been killed with approximately 10 others infected raising speculations and questions of the spread of the virus between humans to humans and birds to humans and the consequent risk of a global epidemic. Certain researchers are however worried especially since the virus has been reported to have genetic markers that will aid a faster spread within the human populations amidst claims that the virus ...

Introduction

Life has different attractions, points of interest, meanings or attitudes that varies across one’s existence. What might have seemed funny engaging at a young age might be considered irritating or upsetting at a more advanced age. This change in the attitude towards life is part of a process, the process of getting older and it is underlying the generation conflict. The generation conflict theme is common to the short stories that will be comparatively analyzed in this paper, respectively: Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” and Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find”. The generation conflict has distinct ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Human Services Problem

Problem Definition The early psychological development of a child will contribute to his overall evolution as an adolescent and later as an adult. Sigmund Freud is known as the father of psychodynamics and this theory relates to the human behavior, studying the dynamics of psychology, the conscious and very important, the unconscious ones.

1. Apple and Security. In the interest of the hundreds of iTunes users who have been scammed in the past few months as well as the company’s integrity, Apple must immediately answer the questions posed by the Attorney General Coakley’s office, pertaining to its iTunes transactions. While secrecy had always been one of the company’s strengths and it had always been able to cater its customers flawlessly until now, large scale phishing is quite another matter and a certain degree of transparency needs to be adapted even if the data is “passed through” for transactions. Within the ...

Music and Sound Recording: popular music and protest songs.

1. My personal preference is to experience all things for myself, before passing judgement. The reason for this is that reviewers and critics are only people too and as such, their opinion is as subjective as my own. For the most part, critics are working on a mainstream basis: their opinion is one which they feel would best fit with most people’s expectations of a certain type of movie or album etc. For example, when Incubus released Morning View, many of their fans were dismissive of it for being less alternative than their previous albums. However, that is their opinion ...
