The automated writing algorithms offer scale, speed, and labor-saving cost. However, the effects of the compromise on media organizations are nuance and accuracy. Thousands of machine-written and published articles had to be corrected for some kind of error (Diakopoulos). The errors range ...

In the history of philosophy, the problem of determinism and free will has always sparked a debate between philosophers who take opposing views on the issue.

This topic in itself creates other issues that relate to morality and religion. On one hand, to believe in free simply does not in itself mean that human conduct is ...

Introduction

Ideally, if the government left the markets to themselves, there should be a form of market efficiency, only that there is not. Government interventions and rules affect supply and demand of products, so when there are subsidies and quotas, the equilibrium price goes down or up, affecting the quantity of products in the market. On a free market situation, externalities and public goods disrupt the market efficiency, causing market failures. Externalities can be defined as those costs or benefits that are not entirely borne by the market (Library Economics Liberty, 2002). Public goods are services and goods designed for ...

Love has long been heralded as one of the most important aspects of the human experience. The bond between two people may be so strong that it is all they need to face very adverse situations.

Even though they never express their love verbatim, the sacrifice and trust that The Man and The Boy have for each other is so strong that it virtually isolates them from their surroundings, ...
