DISCUSSION PAPER

1. The 2013 Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG) describes an Army that is “globally responsive and regionally engaged — one building toward a regionally aligned, mission tailored force that can Prevent, Shape and Win now and in the future.” To guide this approach, the Army lists four imperatives that form the basis of the Army Campaign Plan:

develop leaders to meet the challenges of the 21st century; adapt the Army to more effectively provide land power; and enhance the all-volunteer Army. Which imperative is the most important and why? Give an example of something that the Army could do to ...

Introduction

This paper focuses on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), driverless, and autonomous trucks and cars—collectively referred to as “driverless and autonomous vehicles” in this paper. The transportation industry is one of the most important sectors in the world economy. It ensures that goods and services can freely flow within unrestricted (i.e. trade-able) areas. This is allowed through the fast and efficient (as much as possible) of commodities and people. The premise is that the faster and more efficient goods and people can be moved from one point to another, the more booming the transportation industry will be. A booming ...

All Americans are afforded freedom and safety to live their lives, but unfortunately, this is not the case for the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender) community, specifically speaking the use of public restrooms. It is all too common for them to endure harassment and even violence while attempting to live their lives in peace. We owe it to ourselves to discuss a way forward in public policy and our societal norms, so they do not have to continue to live in fear. The originators of our constructed surroundings have made open offices that are isolated by sexual orientation, ...

BODY AND SOUL RELATIONSHIP FROM GREAT THINKERS

Body and Soul relationship The relationship between body and soul has been the main concern for many thinkers since the beginning of the history of philosophy. In this paper, we will be exploring this relationship from the perspective of three great thinkers: Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Agustin. They were all interested in this relationship, and as they do have common views, they also differ in many areas. The main concern that these three thinkers have is that the humans are made of both body and soul. They can see and touch the body, but they cannot touch the soul. ...

Chapter 1: Introduction

Background information Data has now become an important business tool and driver in the modern information-driven society. Business organizations and government ministries are now incorporating information systems that generate large volumes of data which is valuable, sensitive or secretive and in the event it leaks to the outside world or falls into the wrong hands, it can cause huge financial losses, weaken negotiation positions of businesses and damage strategic position of the affected business (Alneyadi, Sithirasenan and Muthukkumarasamy, 2016, p. 5). For this reason, it has become vital that companies and government organizations implement strategies ...

Abstract

The aim of this experiment was to determine the relationship between the Young’s Modulus and the deflection of a beam. Since different materials have different values of Young’s Modulus, the students selected three different materials for the experiment. In this case, the materials used include timber, aluminium, and steel. All the materials were identical in terms of the dimensions such as width and length. The each beam of the three materials was subjected to some magnitude of force at the centre and deflection measured. Data concerning the magnitude of load and the corresponding defection were then gathered ...

A Research Proposal First Draft

Abstract While many researchers and practitioners alike are still finding that it is possible to help children develop creative thinking skills, we are also finding that this practice isn't being incorporated for all our kindergarten and pre-school children. The purpose of this paper will therefore be to investigate the ways in which children at the preschool/kindergarten level are being supported in the development of creative thinking skills, as well as the particular role this has played in helping kindergarten students. After initiating a review of the literature to guide the study, the methodology will involve data collection—interviews with ...

Introduction

Such researchers as Torrence (1980, 1966) and Diamong and Lee (2011) inform that various tactical approaches have been used to boost the creativity of children to develop executive and diverse skill. These researchers commend the application of pedagogical model to influence children creative skills during the early education. Models to influence creativity like computer, Osborn Parnes, and general semantics among other are being applied to impact it. The struggle for practitioner to foster creative thinking in children still precedes research psychology research fields. Torrence (1972) argues that creative thinking in children is not only possible, but can also be ...

Plato describes how drunken Alcibiades surrounded by the lush gang of revelers suddenly breaks into a banquet. The audience somehow explains to him the essence of the ongoing negotiations, and also offers to give a speech in honor of Eros. But after learning the contents of the Socrates words, Alcibiades fully agrees with them. Since he has nothing to add about Eros, he decides to make a speech in honor of Socrates (Gill). Originate from the aristocratic families, with the gift of beauty, passing through all stages of public recognition, learned from Socrates, Alcibiades did not adjust to the ...

NEW HERITAGE VALUES

Neighborhood segregation is the physical separation of urban residents into two or more neighborhoods. Although urban neighborhood segregation has been attributed to some social causes such as racism and ethnicity, there is growing evidence that different economic statuses are the key underpinning reason for neighborhood segregations. Members of different ethnic groupings live in segregated city zones due to their general different economic statuses (Bischoff and Reardon 34-40). From the US Census statistics, as in 1960s, it is evident that those communities that had lower incomes tended to live in neighborhoods regarded as poor. From 1960s, however, racial neighborhood separation ...

The duty of the Constitution is to generate principles that enhance the mutual understanding between the people and the government. It sets up the agencies and authorities that carry out the guidelines it formulates. The Constitution placed limits on the leadership that counterchecked the arbitrary activities of the monarchs who were inclined to launch unpopular conflicts, impose excessive taxes, and abuse power. Over centuries, the restrictions have grown to become stricter in the representative institutions such as parliament to outline the separation of authority and checks in the independent branches. This essay draws further comprehension about constitutional limitations on ...

Symposium Proposal on African architecture and urbanism

Many areas in Africa would be suitable for setting up a symposium on African architecture and urbanism. This can only be set in a neighborhood with rich history, and a lot of facts regarding the development of architecture are urbanization growth especially from the colonial time. An example of a neighborhood with sufficient information about architecture and urbanism is the Tuareg community. There have been radical changes in the notions of the Tuareg territory and many contemporary issues relating to the Tuareg people. Many reasons would make me select this area. The first reason is that this neighborhood has ...

The Importance of Microbes to Animals from Eating to Evolution

Microbes are any living organism that throughout its lifespan is too small to be seen with our naked eye. Most microbes are single-cell organisms. Microbes are the oldest form of life on earth – dating back over 3.5 million years ago when the Earth was still covered with boiling oceans. While microbes are typically thought of as bacteria, microbes can include protists, fungi and microscopic animals. Without microbes, animals could not eat, breathe, or possibly even have evolved at all. Without animals, well, they would probably be just fine. Microbes are important to animals in numerous ways, from eating to ...

Introduction People often associate art with beauty such that art forms appeal to the audience because of their aesthetic qualities. Nonetheless, as we explore various theories, concepts, and approaches in art design, we discover that beauty is diverse. As the famous saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, which means that the standard and quality of beauty differs based on varying constructs and views of beauty. The conflict and exchange between perfection and imperfection, for instance, illustrates the variability of beauty as a construct in art design (Bailey & Peoples, 2010). Beauty is not merely a creation or ...

Question 1: In Plato’s Symposium, he mentions about love being specifically related to form. I particularly am interested in the concept of relating love [or human emotion for affection] in consideration the realization of physical beauty in a person for whom such affection is being felt.

Love in itself is a form of emotion. However, Plato showed in his symposium, that love, among all affections, is powerful. The type of love noted as ‘eros’ tries to show an understanding of how humans develop a sense of love for another. The confusing matter in this case is how eros was used ...

The term love has been used in its broadest sense, but, used to refer to individuals who posses tender feelings for the others, and would not want any harm befalling their loved ones. Thus, love being a virtue it is interesting if it can inspire positive action in people possessing it. Phaedrus in Plato’s symposium holds that love deserves more recognition as a god that has significant influence on the course of our lives. He places love in the position of a deity, as old as the earth itself.

On the ability of love to inspire positive action, Phaedrus creates a link ...

Motown was founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy in Detroit, Michigan. The music that Gordy created and produced changed the sound of the American music. Motown introduced Americans to a new sound of popular music created by black singers and musicians. Gordy overcame many stereotypes and polished his performers to appeal to mainstream America, black and white. With spreading popularity of television it was imperative that music stars be visual appealing as well as have a good sound. The Motown sound and philosophy created in the 1960’s still has an enormous influence on the modern music industry.

In the Symposium, Apollodorus makes a relation to an unidentified companion story, which he had learned about a dinner party, or a symposium from Aristodemus. The symposium is given to honor the tragedian Agathon. Here, Socrates is lost in thought on the neighboring balcony, and arrives at the party late. Eryximachus accepts Phaedrus suggestion after they have finished eating that, every person should make a speech praising the god of love. After a consensus, Phaedrus starts by referring to love as one of the oldest of gods. He adds that love promotes the most of the virtue in people. Pausanias draws the difference between ...

Personality traits are dimensions in which people vary. Aggressive behavior is a complex trait affected by numerous interacting genes whose expression depends on the environment. Dysfunction in biogenic amine system is associated with alterations in aggressive behavior. However, this only presents a tip of the iceberg in complex genetic architecture involved in aggressive behavior. Stimulation of certain parts of the brain and presence of certain hormones is closely linked to aggressive behavior. Aggression is selectively advantageous in terms of pursuit of mates, food and territory. Animals and human beings are anatomically prepared for aggressive behavior because it is adaptive strategy ...

In his relationship with Socrates, has Alcibiades been made into a true lover; that is, is Alcibiades now a philosopher. To answer this, love must be defined philosophically or otherwise. Socrates, in his speech, says that love is a feeling for some object. Love is a desire for an object. Eros is the Greek god of love. The Roman god of love is called Cupid. In his speech, Cupid says that love is a feeling for beautiful things. Socrates philosophically says ‘love’ is not good or beautiful’. He goes on and says that if it were the contrary, then he would not be ...

The number of youths engaging in criminal activities in United Kingdom and across the world is alarming. For long, such youths were sentenced in juvenile courts and subsequently detained in respective juvenile prisons. However, as time passed, the government was concerned that detaining and sentencing the youths through the courts was an ineffective method of guiding the youth to acceptable behavior. Many programs, designed to guide the youth to up to standard behavior were introduced. Most of these methods do not use the courts; instead, they use community programs, strict parenting, warnings, surveillance, and punishment. According to Muncie and ...

Never before had anyone seemed so keen to find a solution to a take-away quiz and especially a difficult like that one. The reason behind our commitment to find the ...

Discuss the meaning of the life and death of Socrates based on the texts you have read this semester

According to Plato’s apology, he regarded Socrates as gadfly because he was stinging the Athenians culture and politics. This is because Socrates was a critic of the politics and the social life in Athens. This made him have so many enemies in Athens because they believed that he was corrupting the youth. The term gadfly as was used to represent the life of Socrates was first mentioned when one of his friends named as Chaerephone. This was when he went to the oracle of Delphi and asked them if they knew anyone who was wiser than Socrates was. The ...

According to White (2004); several scholars have said that Plato’s Symposium was able to get to the summit because of Diotima’s love due to her thoughtful and great admiration of beauty. However, this is not so. He attributes this to the ability of the philosopher to introduce the true virtue and its eternal existence. The author further argues that the virtue that has been brought into question was not from within the soul but from the outside and that the element of living forever should be based on the work that the philosopher was able to leave ...

There has been a renewed interest with the indigenous tourism recently. In Australia, it is one of the most thriving tourism sector and attraction at present. This is because Australia is home to one of the world’s historic living cultures and so, it is well placed to develop this global tourism sector (ONT, 1998, p. 2). Indigenous tourism is a general term formerly used to pertain to “all tourism services or products, managed by either the Indigenous or the non-indigenous entities but focuses on an indigenous motif such as cultural tours, festivals, arts and crafts making, interpretation of indigenous heritage, ...

The theory of plate tectonics describes the wide­scale movements of the lithosphere of

the earth. The model is based on the ideas of continental drift, which first gained acceptance in the early 1900s. The geoscientific community granted the theory even more validity after the notion of seafloor spreading appeared in the late 1950s. Basically, the lithosphere is not whole but instead is separated into either seven or eight major plates, depending on the definition that you use. Every meeting point between plates has its own relative movement, either transform, convergent or divergent. Volcanic activity, mountain creation and earthquakes all occur along these edges, and the plates ...
