As a believer in physical science as we know it (because it may change as it has in the past), Aristotle’s empirical view on all matters of life are very refreshing. Aristotle dealt almost entirely of facts, what you see is what you get, this is in stark contrast to his recent Greek predecessors including Plato whose writings seem to be filled with riddles and whose worship of gods that were clearly false. His works cover everything from biology, zoology, metaphysics, politics, ethics and poetry just to name a few, many of which being completely original and unknown ...

The order of operations followed in simplifying a mathematical expression is illustrated by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parenthesis > Exponent > Multiplication > Division > Addition > Subtraction. First, the mathematical expression should be grouped by parenthesis. Each parenthesis group should be evaluated individually. Then, the parenthesis groups are grouped by exponent; each exponent group should be evaluated individually. When it comes down to the levels of multiplication-division, these two operations are interchangeable in order of execution; similarly, addition and subtraction are interchangeable in order. However, it should be noted that multiplication-division have higher precedence than addition-subtraction, ...

According to Dr. Martin Luther king junior critical thinking is a vast field that encompasses various aspects of everyday life. It is therefore much more complicated than simply engaging in mental activities aimed at arriving at a certain conclusion.

He further stresses that the most dangerous villain might in fact turn out to be the most intelligent member of society who just so happens to be at a state of moral bankruptcy. Thus morality is very important in critical thinking and arriving at an amicable solution that has ...

The very premise of man-made laws is that they are designed to benefits persons in positions of power. The code of Hammurabi epitomizes this property of man-made laws. Natural laws on the other hand attempt to bring order in ...

I have always been a huge believer in work first and play later, I never ever did it the other way around because I always knew that the consequences of play before work was severe.

The argument that the government should add tax to fast food items is debatable. The debate is an ongoing one which has sparked much controversy in the nutrition circles.

Secondly, the cost of food is an important factor in the ...

Many scholars and jurists believe that judges and scholars differ in statute interpretations.

When they are faced with cases, they always apply values and policies they believe accomplish the purpose of the American society and the constitution. Evidently, this statement is true because, in America, difference in ...

- Look through a selection of corporate social responsibility/sustainability reports from Egyptian Listed Companies. What reasons do the companies give for producing the report?

INTRODUCTION

With increasing emergence of cellular computing and internet, cellular wireless technologies have found its way into the limelight to supplement the increasing demand for wireless data services. Existing data services pose a challenge for the delivery of quick easy and cheap connections. The current wireless technologies are based on circuit switched radio transmission. This transmission process allocates a channel to a single user in a network for an entire communication period and when the traffic levels reach a certain threshold inefficient resource utilization is likely to be observed. Therefore the transmission method is ineffective and in order to satisfy the user demands, better methods ...

Abstract Men are a social group, and every other person should expect to be treated as they treat others. However, how one relates to others can be attributed to their upbringing as well as factors such as religion.

Disregarding this brings forth vices in the society, as people fright to be regarded in respect that they feel they deserve. Religion, culture ...

Introduction

Communication is a dynamic human activity that is defined and influenced by many factors. Interpersonal communication is especially influenced by the environment within which individuals live. As a consequence of the factors that inform interpersonal communication, there often arises conflict between different communicants. Depending on whether one comes from a culture that values independence or one in which interdependence is the norm, conflicts are resolved differently. In this proposal I will outline the path I intend to take to examine the different ways in which conflict is resolved in both individualistic and collectivistic cultures (Adler and Proctor II 395).

The ‘means and ends’ formulation of the Categorical Imperative

Immanuel Kant, the great moral philosopher, established logical principles that serve as guidelines for one’s moral actions. These guidelines are in the form of three formulations of the categorical imperative. The second of three is the “means and end” formulation, which shall be discussed in this paper.

The ‘means and end’ formulation sets the guideline for how we should treat other human beings – that is, to treat them with respect for their dignity as persons and respecting their rights in the process. This implies therefore that every human person must be treated as an end in himself and ...

Prisons and incarcerations were later introduced as less punitive measures so as to give such persons a second chance in the society. Different nations have developed a judicial system that handles matters of police operations, the judicial process and the incarceration of such persons. Countries, ...

Question 1 Similarities between Java and C++ Both Java and C++ are known to support method overloading in a similar manner. Java and C++ also lack support of direct higher order functions; instead they provide a way of imitating their behavior.
