A social gadfly - that was the unofficial name of Socrates in Athenian circles. Socrates, indeed, was a gadfly to his peers: he stung with his revealing and unbiased speeches. Even as a young boy the philosopher became considered as the wisest of men. Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, herself proclaimed Socrates the profoundest philosopher that had ever lived, only to hear his famous words "I know that I know nothing" though (Miles, 2003, p. 165) (Scott, 2002, Does Socrates Have a Method, p. 122). Not believing the oracle, Socrates began to ask other Athenian sages about their lore. ...

Introduction

Plato is perhaps one of the most well-known philosophers in Western history. Even if many people don’t fully understand his ideas, most are aware that he was a very important and influential thinker. How did someone who lived over 2000 years ago have such a tremendous and lasting impact on our culture? By introducing a new way of seeing the world that revolutionized how philosophers defined truth. In The Republic and The Apology, Plato uses the character Socrates (based on, but probably not an accurate representation, of his teacher) to explain his view of truth, his method for ...

“In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.”

Evaluate this Statement in Relation to Two Areas of Knowledge In some context, simplicity is a term suggesting ignorance. It is not a way of knowing but a measure of knowledge. Simplicity can also refer to something that is basic or uncomplicated and may affect the way of knowing. Barrow argues that simplicity is a function of perspective. Based on his argument, a physicist might view the world as simple based on his understanding of particles and matter. Physics is a field based largely on reason and his interpretation of the universe as a series of simple algorithms is ...

Through traveling, I was able to learn about the social issues of other countries firsthand. I also learned that many cultures have been ...

My predicament is paradoxical, and each decision that I make will be consequential. I have to acquire an internship position in XYZ Inc one way or the other.

However, lying is not only ethical, but it will have a ripple effect. There are far-reaching consequences that can become a problem in the future if I chose to lie. I may rest and go ...

Southern Criminology is a contemporary perspective in criminology and criminal justice that encompasses criminal and law enforcement practices of the Global South. However, it is not new, as it derives from the century-long practices of colonization, oppression, and ignorance of the global periphery. With all of its peculiarities, terms, and features, the concept of southern criminology is initially about raising questions on the epistemology of criminal justice in a contemporary highly diverse and globalized environment. It is about the use and establishment of power relations in the production of criminological knowledge (Carrington, et al., 2017). On the other hand, southern criminology ...

Social justice existed in a society when the people of that community had an equal share in the way they were treated. That is, and everyone had a fair share of the resource allocation to the citizens. For instance, every region is equally developed in terms of hospitals, schools, social amenities, and road networks. It was not just the presence of these facilities, but the provision of quality services equitably to all the citizens is what made social justice a good practice (Chaffee, 2013). Quality housing, education and in addition, quality primary health care were considered a prerogative ...

Question 1

The definition of religion is often different across different groups depending on the values and beliefs that they hold. Noticeably, most people define religion based on what history holds as true for them. Typically, the catholic Spain defines religion as a matter of doctrines, rituals, creeds and traditions. Seemingly, the catholic Spain seems to attest to the fact that religion is more of a way of life. However, this is not true according to the historical chronology of religious beliefs. Looking closely, history explains the evolution of religion through ages. Thus, religion is never a set of compact doctrines and traditions.

- In Book 1 of the Republic, why does Socrates think that it is never just for one person to injure another, whether friend or enemy? Socrates begins his argument with the proposition that justice consists in repayment of debts. The general argument was on the lines that one ought not to injure friends. Injuring enemies was considered to be acceptable. It was taken for granted that friends are good and enemies are bad. However, Socrates pointed out that a man can be seemingly good or bad. One who pretends to be a friend may have bad intentions at heart. ...

In Griswold’s article he poses the question whether happiness and cypher's choice is ignorance bliss. He addresses the question what is happiness?

The idea of causality, Aristotle “Four causes” theory shows us the different reasons for the existence of something.

Scientists in shaping their explanations about the origin of the universe apply this theory. On the contrary, theologians apply the same theory in justification of God ...

The law is a two edged sword aimed at cutting the oppressed free while punishing the unjust. This is one of the maxims that I have believed in and that inspires me towards applying for the JD program. By applying for this program, I desire to equip myself with the power to bring this ‘sword’ closer to the oppressed. I believe that this course will help me represent my people better and also in making them aware of their rights according to the law. All this intrinsic motivation to undertake the law course is extrinsically supported by the fact ...

1) In her essay "The Five Sexes," Fausto-Sternling (1993) argues that there are multiple intersexes that exist between male and female. As opposed to the Western idea of having only two sexes, there are different groups inbetween; hermaphroditic and intersexual people exist and must be acknowledged. In the case of Levi Suydam, an intersexual man who wished to vote in 1843; since he was considered a woman, he was initially barred from voting, since women could not vote at that time.

There exist numerous defenses to criminal charges. The defenses are usually used by the persons facing particular charges in a bit to negate the requisites of a crime, especially the aspect of intent. In criminal cases the general rule is that crimes are offences that are usually committed against the government. Every person is usually presumed innocent until the contrary is proved. As such, the burden of proof lies on the government to prove that a crime was committed and that the accused person committed the alleged crime. The prosecution side, which represents the government in a criminal trial, must convince the judge ...

Not so long ago, I went to the book store and happened to pick up “The Best American Short Stories 1982” since I had always been a fan of John Gardner.

The one that particularly stood out was Raymond Carver’s “Cathedral.” Carver had apparently been longing for critical acclaim for quite some time, which he received after his collection containing this story was published. Considering the remarkable characters, dialogue, plot, and the theme of Carver’ ...
