The Islamic influence in Spain was a strong one lasting for a long period of time. Islam offered more than just a territorial succession to the public, but it was the religion that offered intellect and social structure as well as a great privilege to society. Islamic principles did conquer the thought, language and architecture of Spain, particularly in the cities of Granada and Al-Andalus. Islamic influence was deeply ingrained in the Spanish society. Hence it led to the development of Islamic thought that promulgated deep in the society, and much of the former Christian world ...

The Ariekei in China Mieville's Embassytown are a strange species of alien with a strange language. Words are not just words to the Ariekei Hosts but a reflection of reality. As it is described in the book, the Hosts need "a speaker, with intent, with a mind behind the words" for anything spoken in their Language to mean anything at all (p. 55). What is fascinating about this is the fact that Hosts are incapable of lying, because their Language must be an accurate reflection of reality. The most interesting thing about the Hosts' language, though, is given by ...

The Board of Education disregarded Pettit's entitlement to privacy.

Universal law is of the utmost importance and the right actions are moral and have to be universal in similar situations. People have to behave in a way which is good for other people and for themselves as well because other people have to respect the same law. Kant says that the ...

Introduction

Learning is a continuous process that does not end with age. As such, there occurs an impasse with regard to whether or not old people can learn new lessons. The question that should be asked is what kind of learning is open to the aged, after defining what comprises old age, middle age and youth, then research can be done in this regard. Therefore, learning can be viewed as comprising academic knowledge or the use of certain motor skills that had previously been lying dormant or in other words, had remained underdeveloped due to being unused. In this study, ...

Business Ethics – Liberalism

Introduction Liberals and conservatives always argue in political and economic matters. This split has its root in many aspects of society including the conduct of modern businesses and business ethics. Business ethics refer to the proper business practice and policy regarding a potentially controversial issue. The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of business ethics in detail and review how liberal (utilitarianism) and conservative (deontological) ideologies come together to shape business ethic problems.

One of the more interesting phenomena of the past few weeks in the American political scene was the brief period of time that FBI Director James Comey spent in the public eye, as the FBI and Justice Department investigation of Hillary Clinton spun to an end. When Director Comey appeared before the press to explain his findings on July 5, he went on at length about the different ways that Secretary Clinton had mishandled classified information during her time at the State Department. He detailed the number of emails that she had sent or received that had had classified ...

When one reads a text, one is limited to the perspective that the author has decided to provide the reader. Edgar Allan Poe was one of the masters in making his audiences perceive that the person telling his stories was not somebody that they could actually believe in. The narrator in “The Black Cat” is this kind of character, so one is left at a loss when reading the tale. From the outset, one can see that there is something wrong with the narrator, which is confirmed throughout the story. In general, one could offer many different interpretations for ...

In his article, ‘Honesty in Negotiations', Chris Provis alludes that there has been a consistently prevailing ethical belief that the concept of honesty should at all times remain unconditional. As a result, a good participant in a negotiation must always resist the common temptation towards the engagement in practices that would be deemed as dishonest. This is a significant aspect that should be applicable even in circumstances where the negotiator is dealing with an individual whose honesty is under a cloud of doubt. As postulated by Chris Provis, giving a warning to the negotiating partner in the effect that ...

Advertising has long ceased to be merely a method of marketing of products. Sometimes people in an advertisement can see something so amazing that will stick into memory for long. It does not matter, whether such an ad will captivate a person with its absurd stupidity, illiteracy, or depth of the problem concerned. It is no accident that endless streams of videos and thousands of pictures are so popular on the internet, discussions over new advertisement are rather heated, and cinemas show best advertisements. Creation of high-quality advertising is a work of talented creative team; and this process has ...

Body Language

The term ‘body language’ speaks for itself. It conveys the following meaning: your body can speak without words.

The assumed situation is frequently showing up late at work on time for not specific reasons. The reasons are ordinary such as being unable to wake up on time or disorganized about chores I am supposed to perform like dropping kids to the school bus in the mornings or getting my clothes and briefcase ready. The manager has asked for a meeting to discuss the issue and is concerned about the tardiness exhibited. However, considering lying about why such behavior is slowly and gradually becoming the habit is not ethically correct. Values are an important fragment of life, and ...

Honesty is considered to be one of the most important virtues of the individual. It is generally accepted that lying is wrong and that lie makes you a bad person. On the other hand, anybody would admit that he or she lied at least once in the life. The complexity of relationship in our society presupposes that lie is actually acceptable when there is an important reason for that. The first condition which makes lie acceptable is the protection of his or her own life. When there is someone suspicious knocks at the door, it is better to say ...

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 ...

The Picture of Dorian Gray is a contradiction of people who are authentic such as Sybil and Henry and those who are hiding their true selves behind deceptions, like Dorian and Basil. This paper will look at the use of “smoke and mirrors” in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. “Smoke and Mirrors” is a metaphor that refers to the hiding of truth behind a veil of deception.

Jim McGuigan (2009), in his widely-acclaimed article “Doing a Florida: The Creative Class Thesis and Cultural Policy” talks about Richard Florida, considered as a the guru of management in America. According to McGuigan, Florida’s work The Rise of the Creative Class was a classic case of looking impressive on the surface, but is actually riddled with flaws in the inside. In addition, Florida’s work on cultural policy leans more on the managerialist perspective which resulted to the oversimplication of the scientific reasoning and research (McGuigan 310). To a reader who has no background on the social sciences, ...

Kathe Kollwitz was a famous German graphic artist whose son was murdered during the World War I. She used to have leftist and pacifist views and right before the start of the war she predicted the upcoming “blackest despair and dejections” (Kollwitz, 1914, p. 430). She felt sympathetic with the other German women that had to let their children join the German army. When her son was killed, she wrote many times in her diary about her “contradictory position of war” (Kollwitz, 1916, p. 430). Of course, her entries were very emotional and full of mourning, because she found ...

Part 1: Prosecutor’s Duty to Report

Although the American criminal law is based on the adversarial system where the prosecutor, representing the state, and the defense, representing the accused, engage in openly confrontational activities in order to persuade a neutral decision-maker of the truth of their story; the Supreme Court has held that under some circumstance, and despite the adversarial nature of the relationship, the prosecution must assist the defense in the preparation of their case. The underlying reason for this counter-intuitive element of the adversarial system, is the traditional belief that the substantial power of the state, as expressed through its law enforcement and ...

Abstract

The United States’ criminal justice system is all about truth. Therefore, law enforcement professionals are expected to act and behave in such a way that mirrors this public commitment. While it is human nature to lie, the kind of job police officers have requires truth and reliability at all times from the law enforcer. People place high level of trust on them, thus, it is only right that police officers remain truthful at all times. Otherwise, it weakens the criminal justice system and only breeds distrust. The justice system is based on truth and police officers, including those who ...

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

The artists who popularized these method includes Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, and Larry Rivers each of the defined the early ...

“Loving someone is different from being “in love” with them.” It is true that loving someone is different from being “in love” with them. Some people think that the two mean the similar thing, but this is not the case. As a matter of fact, there are some differences between loving someone and being “in love” with them. First of all, when we love an individual we need him/her to be around us most of the time. In other words, we usually want to be with the people we love more than anything else, and we can do anything ...

[I was sitting alone on that bench along the streetside café..staring at the setting sun and thinking about my recent failure of giving up on the most desired jobit seemed like the end of my world.]

Dejected and crestfallen I was sitting alone on the bench,

It really seemed like the end of my world, with no aspiration left. I had no hopes of sustaining in this world, I had no dream to fight for,

Maybe I lost it all, My destiny deprived me of it all by staging the perfect theft.

A loud thud behind me dragged me back to the real world, Saw people running, They all ran to a spot where a girl was lying bathed in blood, most of her parts ...

Creating the Image of a Supervillain in Six Minutes

Superhero films are expected to offer an explosion of action, and starting the film with an action scene sets the viewers’ expectations high. The initial scene of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman: The Dark Knight” gives viewers an adrenaline rush, which makes them feel even more excited about the rest of the film. However, in this film, the initial scene has an even more important function because it introduces the film’s antagonist, the Joker.

Remember when the police department as a whole cared about the people they served? When police officers spoke out against corruption and participated in community activities within the neighborhoods they patrolled? It seems those days are gone and have been replaced with almost “random” killings by police, as if there were a lottery drawing, perhaps. Police killings are not the only problem for citizens in America concerning law enforcement. People of all races face brutality, police being less than truthful, or outright lying under oath, and law enforcement officers facing no criminal charges, or even acquittal. Three cases that ...

There are certain situations where lawyers can use criminal defenses as a way of liberating their clients from charges of criminal offences. Such situations are not rare to come across considering the fact the people commit crimes almost on a daily basis. Lawyers play major roles in ensuring that they convince the courts that their clients are innocent and do not deserve to be punished for the crimes they are accused of. Good examples of criminal defenses are those in which the lawyers defend their clients based on the premise that such clients were inane by the time they ...

Euthanasia is defined as the act of terminating an extremely sick person in order to alleviate them of their pain (BBC). In most cases, it was performed because the dying patient asks for it. However, in some cases when the patient can’t make such a decision, the family decides. The argument about whether or not euthanasia should be legalized has been going on for quite some time already, but the government has yet to reach a decision about it. Although some states in America have already legalized it, such as Washington, Oregon, California, Vermont, and in Bernalillo County ...

Every community and culture has its own diversity. Not every person thinks the same way as the other person thinks; differences exist between cultures and communities.

The value makes a person decide the valuable and the invaluable things in life and the morals allows a person to distinguish between right and wrong and take the right decision accordingly.

It is the process and not the final product and focuses on things that are often overlooked. Modernist reductionism strips down art to its basic essential ...

The ability to unionize chaotic working groups and individuals into productive organizations is a key aspect of successful modern business venture (Mejia, Cardy & Balkin, 2008). The practice demonstrates that it is no longer possible to create and retain effective competitive advantage without relying on skills and abilities of other people, who are sometimes more qualified in 'hard skills' than a business owner or a general manager themselves (Wagner & Hollenback, 2010). Charles Schwab acknowledged that he knew absolutely nothing about the production of steel, yet he managed to create the most formidable steel empire of the United States. His gravestone, ...
