... try to understand what his/her anger is. If we are talking with an angry person, the first thing we have to do to control ourselves is not to be involved in his/her strong emotions. So, calm down, and ask why he/she is mad and listen to what he/she wants to say to us. Understanding the elements and the background that make this person angry makes it easier for us to communicate with him/her. Do not try to ask someone who is already angry to calm down; it is the same as asking someone who is sobbing not to cry. Secondly, try to communicate with him/her. It is possible to deal with anger by talking with someone. So, ...

... what their interests are. The fact that most large companies are not run by the their owners is often brought forward to support this claim. A large corporation typically is owned by thousands of shareholders, most of whom have nothing to do with the business decisions. Those decisions are made by a professional management team, appointed by a salaried board of directors. In most cases these managers will not own stock in the company which may lead to strongly differing goals of owners and managers. Since ownership gives a person a claim on the profit of the firm, the greater the firm's profit, the higher the owners& ...

... academic life. This is a standard that was set centuries ago by "grownups" who needed a way of ranking students based solely on letters or numbers. Individuality and creativity were pushed aside so colleges, universities, graduate schools and employers would be able to judge their candidates. In the text, Celebrating Diversity, a short segment called, " Add Teaching To High-Risk Jobs," writes, "You can have an 'A'." Students' minds are generally focused on getting an "A," so they usually don't think about learning, rather they constantly render on the "A." Many candidates' acceptance are based on their ...

... this; 'Different cultures have different moral codes, thus there is no one correct set of moral claims, only those that conform to the major set of beliefs within the given culture'. Firstly I am going to look at James Rachel's (in 'The Elements of Moral Philosophy', Ch.2) analysis of this argument, and secondly I would lie to give my assessment of the argument. Rachel's argues that this argument is not logical, as the conclusion does not follow from the factual premise. The premise makes an assertion about differences in moral beliefs. The conclusion makes an assertion about the nature of moral facts or truths. In ...

... reason and not proof. A deductive argument means that if the premises that are put into the argument are true, then the conclusion must be true. Thus, Anselm tends to base his argument on the definitions and the terms that he used. Anselm’s first form of the argument is that God is "that than which none greater can be conceived" (45) . Firstly, it must be emphasised that Anselm’s definition does not limit God to being the "greatest" but Anselem makes it known that nothing greater can be thought than God himself. Therefore, God should not in any way be linked to terms such as ‘omnipotent’ as ...

... boarders were allowed to stay in the water as long as they wanted. This was because the legal length for a knee board was 4ft, which was an expectable length according to the regulation. In total disgust of the new rule, David decided to find a broken long board, which was about 3’11. After he went into the water and caught his first wave, it was then he knew he had found a brilliant idea. He teamed up with a guy by the name of Steve Lis, and made the first short board design in the US. They called it the “Fish.� When the short board first started to become big, there was a big rejection from many surfers ...

... matter cannot be destroyed but rather converted into different forms. Incineration is not exempt from this rule, there is a byproduct to incineration just like there is a byproduct to a normal fire. As seen in the informative 3M Canada video, the gaseous byproduct of incineration passes through various cleaning agent, a lime treatment, and 4 stages of filters. This is done to make the gaseous element of incineration as non harmful as possible. The keyword there is possible. No matter what filters are applied there is still a significant amount of Carbon Dioxide and other harmful gases such as furons and dioxins ...

... He believed in the natural law given to govern man and man to govern himself or that no man should pay a more painful punishment than another for the same crime committed. But as the passages state, sometimes man forgets his natural or given laws and forgets about those of others as well. Locke gives an example through the notion of private property, where man in the process of acquiring what he needs, he works on the things of the earth, transforming them; mixing his labors with them, therefore in a manner making it his own. Locke also proposed that the right of possession is limited by the right of possessi ...
