... in order to socialize. Your friends will also fear the wrath of your sovereigns, and might visit you, but only for short periods of time. You will also have to wait until your parents go away on vacation to have a suitable house party. Living alone, however, yields much more room for fun. You can dine on pizza and beer every night if you wish and your friends can visit any time. The furniture will be of your choosing, like the smelly ceramic vase in the corner with the strange mouthpiece. And you can clean the house under your own standards of cleanliness, not your mom’s. The new freedom comes with a gr ...

... through fun challenges increasing in difficulty as the mind further develops. Most importantly, toys keep children happy which is an essential emotion for growth and development. (See illustration 1) Primitive toys served the same purpose; they taught children the skills necessary to survive the world outside their parents' protection. In essence, toys exist based on the instinct of self preservation.

A primate's survival depended heavily on his successful use of th ...

... at a red apple. This is an issue that has attracted some interest in the course of the history of thought. In this paper I will be looking into the views of a contemporary author who sees the relationship of willing to belief as an issue recurring thoughout the history of philosophy. In his book Religious Belief and the Will2, Louis Pojman identifies Soren Kierkegaard as a direct prescriptive volitionalist, i.e. a thinker who holds that beliefs can and ought to be (at least in some circumstances) directly willed. C. Stephen Evans, in "Does Kierkegaard Think Beliefs Can Be Directly Willed?"3 responds to Pojman's p ...

He worked as the head of Streets and Sanitation Department from 1905-1910, and in 1911 he became president of the Tribune. He worked there until he was called into action for World War One where he served in the first infantry; directly under the command of John J. Pershing.

... provide service to the community." Unfortunately most business is only interested in making money and can careless about social issues, unless it in the long run will help make more money. Ben & Jerry's seem sincere to want to make a noticeable difference in the world. The Ben & Jerry's foundation, established in 1985, receives 7.5 percent of the company's yearly pretax profits, which is donated to charities. Ben & Jerry's has two bottom lines: one is profit and, the other is "how much the company contributed to the quality of life." The Peace Pop and Ice Cream bar on a stick was packaged with a message saying ...

... police officer, a fire fighter, or some hero of war enter your brain? If they did and they make up your answer, then, from a certain perspective, you are correct. However, if such characters were all that you thought of, then you are also indisputably very, very wrong. It is certainly acceptable to look upon such people as heroes, but not expanding the horizons of the word also suggests a lack of scope or vision. Such people fit a dictionary's description of "hero", but in defining this word, one finds the dictionary falls short of the obligation of properly defining it. Everyone can be, and probably is, a hero. ...

PLACE OF BRAZIL The landscape of Brazil is covered with plains, plateaus, and tropical grasslands. The plains has a fertile ribbon of lowlands, about ten through thirty miles wide which are along the country's coastline. Behind the plains sits a huge interior plateau that runs steeply near the lowlands in front of it. This drop forms an escarpment, steep cliff that separates two level areas. In Brazil there is much poverty. People make a living there by subsistence farming. Even though they do farmi ...

... radio, television, and magazine ads make sure of that. The more we view these advertisements, the more we are persuaded toward the . With a television in almost every household and magazines an arm=s length away, advertisers basically have us on our knees. We must digest advertisers= views so frequently that you would think it was necessary to sustain life. Advertising=s main goal is to persuade. They want us to see the American way through their eyes. They tell us what to eat, drink, wear, drive, and think. Advertisers start this form of brainwashing on us at a very early age. They lay the groundwork of ideals earl ...

... such as drugs and/or alcohol. The Teen Challenge Homepage (1998) stated that "Suicide doesn't just happen.... there are a series of events that occur, there are signs that are evident in these times that if noticed, can stop the waste of another life." These series of events are impossibilities or failures, such as problems at home or school, that feel overwhelming to the individual. The next step in this phase commences when the individual begins to feel emotionally broken, as if there is no one there that understands what they are feeling and going through. This leads to isolation with their thoughts and proble ...

... Canada has promoted peace any way possible. The United States, on the other hand, has the saying “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” They promote peace, but in a violent way. I know Canada has its problems, such as the Quebec ‘crisis’. Quebec just has its own provincialisms, which I personally see as a little extreme, but every province wants to be independent, to a certain extent. I am proud how Canada handled that problem. Let Quebec vote, and see if they will separate. The only thing different that I would have done was have all of Canada vote whether or not Quebec should ...
