... husband or wife over the net. Ease of use and astounding technology make it possible for a 16 year old student from Tidjikdja (Western Sahara) to converse on equal levels with a 60 year old housewife in Verkhoyansk (Siberia). The Net opens doors and spans the distance between people that never would have met under normal circumstances.

LOUIS RIEL
... by Manitoba to sit in
the House of Commons. Riel went to Ottawa but was not
allowed to sit as a member in the House, for he was
threatened by many to be shot if he appeared in the
House. This was the mistake of the government. They
should have sopped the nonsense and threats. For Riel
was a man of ideas. He was a man who was knowledged in
the government. It was obvious since he formed his own
government. Riel would have been an asset to the
Canadian government.
In 1884, Gabriel Dumont rode to Montana and asked
Riel to defend the Métis once again. Riel returned to help
the natives once more. Riel ...

Anselm's Ontological Argument And The Philosophers
... by Kant).
In form, Anselm's arguments are much like the arguments we see in
philosophy today. In Cur Deus Homo we read Anselm's conversation with a skeptic.
This sort of question-and-answer form of argumentation (dialectic) is very much
like the writings of Plato. The skeptic, Boso, question's Anselm's faith with
an array of questions non-believers still ask today. Anselm answers in a step-
by-step manner, asking for confirmation along the way, until he arrives at a
conclusion with which Boso is forced to agree. This is just like Socrates'
procedure with, say, Crito.
Later philosophers have both accepted ...

The Reality Of Good And Evil
... all time. Why is this? Simply because there is a manual of good and evil to follow. Lets say now, if we see an old lady trying to cross the road, what would we do? I can for sure say that I will help the lady to cross the road. By definition we will say that this is a good action. But if I would have not help the old lady at that time we can define it as an evil action. As I stated earlier if we consider it from experience point of view, there is a manual to follow. So we can't really say that the action that we take is good or evil. This is because we're following a standard universal protocol. Our actions are alr ...

Psychopathology Assignment - M
... like eating disorders, manic depression, schizophrenia and grief etc.
I only have personal experience with manic depression but for the purpose of the assignment I will also discuss others experiences with madness and will address how society in South Africa understands “madness”.
My first experience with madness was a highly traumatic event, when my older cousin of a few years attempted to kill himself.
My cousin was diagnosed as having a chemical imbalance in his brain and suffering from manic depression. In order to help him the doctors advised him to stay in Tara, a psychiatric clinic, for a few months wi ...

Greek Mythology
... spite,
favoritism, and jealousy. The only difference being their ability to perform
supernatural powers and immortality.
The creation of the world according to the Greeks goes as follows:
In the beginning there was only chaos. Out of this void appeared Erebus,
the unknowable place where death dwells, and Night (Nyx). All else was empty,
silent, endless, darkness. Upon the birth of Love(Eros) brought a start of order.
From Love came Light and Day. Once there was Light and Day, Gaea appeared.
Gaea was the Earth goddess. Erebus then slept with Night, producing Aether and
Day. Aether was the heavenly light and D ...

Myth Or Reality, Today's Perception On Monsters
... shot some
film of the creature. The creature that was filmed was a female, while you
cannot see in this view, breasts are clearly visable in other frames of the film.
Scientists who have studied the film have said that the estimated stride of the
creature is larger than that of a man. They also say it would have been very
difficult for a man to simulate this larger stride. Footprints were the same
type as typically found at a Bigfoot sighting. A more recent sighting of Bigfoot
took place last year on July 11, in the Wild Creek area in the foothills of
Snoqualmie National Forest.The picture was obtained from the p ...

Depression And Teenagers
... brain. Medicines are used to try to correct the imbalance and relieve emotional and physical symptoms. However pathological depression can also occur from stress, a crisis such as a death or other problem in the persons life and even wrong diet.
Depression in teenagers has however been underrated as mood swings or that he or she is just going through a "phase". In the past decade, suicide in teenagers has increased by 200% in America, which is a startling figure. Adolescent suicide is now responsible for more deaths in youths aged 15 to 19 than cardiovascular disease or cancer. Depression has been missed and no ...

Middle Adulthood
... Is your career on track? Are you happy with yourself?
There are many conflicts with both men and women during this period of life. One conflict very important to both men and women is the bodily issue. Our body weight starts to change. Fat seems to be redistributed to the hips, stomach and trunk; our complexions become drier and wrinkles start to appear. Our skin doesn’t seem to be as resilient as it was in our 20’s and 30’s. In women there is a drop in bone mass, due to the slow depletion of estrogen. Menopause is fast approaching, followed up with all the negative health complications that fo ...
