... and the Ford Pygmy, which were basically knock-offs of the Bantam car. Willys eventually won the contract because of their 60hp "Go-Devil" engine, but Ford was also given a contract to help keep up with the military's demand for the vehicles for use in WWII. Willys later renamed their jeeps the MA and the MB, while Ford called theirs the GP and GPW. Many believe, as I do, that won the war for the Allies. As for the name 'Jeep', no one really knows for sure where it came from. Some people believe that it evolved from the Ford 'GP' designation, which many think stood for 'general purpose', which is incorrect. The "G" was for Government and the "P" was the vehicle class (80" wheelbase 4x ...

... as to why they should believe it. Secondly for someone to believe in something they must also believe that it is true. If they did not believe that it was true then what is mentioned above would not occur. So, so far it is decided that knowledge should be true belief. How does one come to the conclusion that something is true however ?. We seek justification. The justification really is the most important part of the criteria because without it one cannot say something is true and therefore cannot say that one believes. This does however bring up the question of how does something become justified ?, do we hear it from other people ?, see it on the news ?. The justification o ...

... impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people, not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal word was said and issue a ticket of some form, as in the movie Demolition Man. Ironically, if this was to happen, we still would not be living in an egalitarian society because our government would not consider us equal enough to be responsible for our own language. If this kind of system were to be installed I believe that it would cause an overthrow of the government and lead to an anarchist society. Pe ...

... teleological: everything is always changing and moving, and has some aim, goal or purpose. To borrow from Newtonian physics, we might say that everything has potential which may be actualized. An acorn is potentially and oak tree for example. The process of change and motion which the acorn undertakes is directed at realizing this potential. Aristotle believed that things in nature occur because they serve a purpose. He maintains that organisms develop as they do because they have a natural goal or telos in Greek. “Nature”, writes Aristotle, is “a ‘principle of motion and change' ”(Physics, 200b1), where “motion” or “movement” (or change as we discussed in our classroom) ...

... building a house with Habitat for Humanity and entertaining children in a campus Youth Day. "I decided to volunteer because my friend was doing it with her sorority," said Allison Mulcahy, a 7th semester communications major. "I've never volunteered for any community work before, but I had a lot of fun and I plan on volunteering again next semester." Griswold said that the goal of the program is to give participants a one shot volunteering experience. This applies to the novice volunteer who wants to get involved and see if they enjoy it and to the veteran volunteer who is in search of new areas. "There is no follow through required," he said. "We have many participants who continu ...

... adopts the whole connection of spiritual doctrine. He believes in miracle, in the perpetual openness of the human mind to new influx of light and power; he believes in inspirationm and in ecstasy. He wishes that the spiritual principle should be suffered to deomonstrate itself to the end, in all possible applications to the state of man, without the admission of anything unspiritual; that is, anything positive, dogmatic, personal. Thus, the spiritual measure of inspiration is the depth of the thought, and never, who said it? And so he resisits all attempts to palm other rules and measures on the spirit than its own. James Freeman Clarke once dubbed the transcendentalists the ...

... leads one to wonder if “testosterone equals ” or if “ equals testosterone.”1 He says that numerous studies have been done to figure it out; but have never been able to come to a scientific conclusion. In his essay he goes on to state his view that “Hormones seem to many to be more real, more substantive, than the ephemera of behavior, so when a correlation occurs, it must be because hormones regulate behavior, not the other way around.”2 The most reliably information has been found in numerous tests that there is no scientific evidence that links testosterone and . “Evidence documenting a relationship between t testosterone and in criminal and non criminal populations is inconclusi ...

... Through the systematic development of the theories of psychoanalysis, al stemming from one another and all tied together into a universal Oedipal complex and religious illusion, the ideas of the tripartite human psyche and wishfullfillment the Freud developed came under fire from critics for their controversial messages and analysis. Briefly stated, the Oedipus complex is the preservation in the adult individual of the perceptions, strategies and scars of a conflict the individual underwent during his or her preschool years. According to Freud, these perceptions, etc., later color and shape the individual's future experiences. This psychological crisis results when a young child's s ...
