... to correct me if I am incorrect (morally or politically) but are we not all philosophers ourselves? As a baker's vocation is to bake, a philosopher's vocation is to think. Is it not that we all think? I was deeply saddened at your comments in the oppression and restriction to what I may or may not strive to think. As a pacifist and non- sadist, I call what you believe in as ‘ingraining or indoctrination', whereas our own society may call it ‘brainwashing'. Our human nature gives us freedom, as does the Constitution. It guarantees us the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Within the refines of this home, I find it a task to see those liberties granted. Here ...

... child going to a child care, in the long run she knows it is the best. Mothers can find guidance if they are not able to find the steps of how to deal with continuing to work. Mothers also know how important it is, even if they work, to show love and want to be around their child(ren). When a couple are trying to raise a family, it is much easier when there are two incomes. This way the parents do not have to worry about the financial surprises that come up. For example, if the husband or wife loses his or her job, and does not have a second income to depend on, the family would be in financial burden. Also double income families do not have to worry about the stress put on the ...

... along with Paul Tough’s article, one can develop a whole new attitude violence’s relation with the mosh pit. Rene Girard explains that it is only human nature to act in violence during the course of his life. Girard also states that people use this anger in other ways besides the devious. People try to direct their violence into something constructive. When people do this, it is a perfect example of eustress. Eustress is converting stress into a positive manner. Violence is a form of stress because it weighs heavily on the mind and causes misinterpretations. Paul Tough shows that the people who are attending these functions are doing it in a manner to release aggression, but not t ...

... the above statement of the Declaration of Independence. Within these we find several that will be discussed in this proyect: blacks, American Indians, Latinos, Asians, women, and homosexuals. These groups are faced with strong discrimanting issues every day, and as long as our society is ridden with race-based problems, we will need race-based remedies. And while we have come a long way, we still have a long way to go. In 1963 the civil rights reformation was speed up by Martin Luther King Jr. As the speech, of "I have a dream" was performed in washington, on August 28. By this time discrimination, social issues, and violence, such as the Ku Klux Klan, was already present. We must sadly ...

... the law? It seems to myself that Mill and Aquinas justifuly answered that debate , yet, the Joseph Raz article , The Authority of Law , tends to disagree. Raz argues that there is no obligation to obey the law. That man should and does resist the urge/temptation to commit crime not for obligation but because of his enate knowledge that that is not acceptable. " One has reasons not to kill , assault, rape or imprison other people which have no connection with the law and depend entirely on the fact that such acts are against the will or interests or ( moral ) rights of others." ( Raz, p.233) Yet , I tend to disagree. For example , why does one obey the traffic laws ? On a bad ...

... something similar: 'An eye for an eye and we shall all be blind'. Gandi meant that so mang people hurt other people that they would end up seriously hurt. Put this teaching into practise, if someone hurts you once let them do it a secong time is the message here. The other side to this statement is to agree that racists should be dealt with in a violent way. In some resects, this is correct because if people have the mentality to be racist towards another person, they need to be punished, and if violence fits this sort of punish mentment. People, whatever race they are have to choice to decide where they live. They deserve to feel comfortable in their home even if it is not where the majori ...

... other children are on their own. For example, there are three students, one from a clean, upper-class community, another from a small, middle-class suburb and the other from a graffiti-ridden slum. All three of these students have exceptional GPA's and scored very well on standardized testing. The student from the upper-class community will have the best chance of succeeding. Tuition will never be a problem and chances are that those parents have some pull because of who they are. The middle-class student won't have a great problem but there is still the fact of paying tuition, which would limit the options quite a bit. One may be smart enough to get grants but the family makes too much ...

... hard to talk about constructively. "Obscenity" is difficult to discuss honestly. After all, what makes a thing obscene? It is Something too vague perhaps to be defined. It's an elusive term we use, but can't explain. Different people often see things differently. Some see obscenity in nude pictures, statues, paintings, etc. While others find less obscenity in these things. All the same, "obscene" isn't the same as "wrong" or "bad". Clearly obscenity is not identical with evil. It only covers a single segment of it. But what is that segment? A look at the words "obscenity" and "pornography" suggests that it is a segment that didn't worry people very much till relatively recently. T ...

... do is try to accept different ethnic people as you do anyone else. If you can’t, you don’t have to express it, keep it to yourself. If you hear somebody saying something about somebody else, all you have to do is listen; they are just as equal as you are. If you do it, pretty soon they’ll quit. Racism’s history goes way back. The Constitution of the United States recognized the legality of slavery, the ultimate form of discrimination. The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the constitutional amendments that followed the American Civil War (1861-1865) changed the legal status of African Americans, but a series of decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States struck down federa ...

... and physicians-in-training who perform today's delicate cardiac, ear, eye, pulmonary and brain surgeries must develop the necessary skills before patients' lives are entrusted to their care. Neither computer models, cell cultures nor artificial substances can pose as flesh, muscle, blood, bone and organs working together in the living system. Only a living being can do this, which is an animal. promotes medical break throughs that save millions of lives. The testing of animals has produced not only medical cures, but it has also lead to ways of treating many diseases, developing protective vaccines and drugs, and many new surgical procedures. A few of these break throughs are: DNA, v ...
