4. The Philosophical View Of Mathematics
Many philosophers use pure mathematics and/or mathematical truths as a basis for their philosophical
claims. Saying that beliefs and concepts are possible because of mathematics is possible due to the
unchanging nature of the subject. Mathematics is known to be an absolute truth that is not doubted,
allowing it act as a fixed truth for new ideas. However, what would life and philosophy be like if we
did not have a basis of pure mathematics and/or mathematical truths to rely on?
Descartes based almost all of his claims on the fact that mathematics, was what he called the most
certain truth (Descartes). Without that basis of mathematics, many of his claims of what does and does
not exist would have no meaning. Descartes claims that because mathematics exists as something
clear and certain, it must be possible for other things to exist in this same manner. He uses this
argument to defend more conceptual and philosophical beliefs like his belief in God. Descartes says I
no less find the idea of a God in my consciousness, that is the idea of a being supremely perfect, than
that of any figure or number (Descartes). When analyzing this quote, Descartes is saying that he finds
the idea of God just as plausible as that of the reliable figures and numbers that are present in
mathematics. However, if mathematics wasn t plausible, would that mean that God is henceforth
implausible by association? This seemingly necessary association is shown more clearly when

The major ethical dilemma faced in the series Westworld is a problem that we as human will have to
eventually address. The rate at which technology is advancing is incredible and there have been great

Therefore, there has been ongoing ethical debate about weather or not humans should ultimately
extend rights to Artificial Intelligence once it becomes sentient. Many highly respectable persons, such
as Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Steve Wozniak have all voiced their concerns against
Artificial Intelligence; even going as far as saying it could lead to the eventual demise of all of

The only way humans in Westworld were able to justify such treatment of the hosts was to distance
themselves by stating that they were just simply machines who were unable to comprehend their
mistreatment. Theresa confirms this in Season 1 Episode 1 The Original when she remarks,
[Westworld] works because the guests know they re not real .
This mindset ignored the long term affects of the trauma inflicted on the hosts. In an article in World
View, Hutan Ashrafian made an excellent point about holding intelligent machines to the same
standards as human beings because if we were to allow sentient machines to commit injustices on one
another even if these crimes did not have a direct impact on human welfare this might reflect poorly
on our own humanity. That s why Logan s statement about Westworld ability to show you who you are
rings true. Especially for William who ended up transforming into the most horrific character in the
series the Man in Black. Unfortunately, that sort of dark switch in character is not limited to fiction.
In the Stanford Prison Experiment conducted in 1971 by Philip Zimbardo, it showed how dark of a

Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 22nd May 1859. He attended Edinburgh
University and graduated with a degree in medicine, in 1881. He then practised as a doctor from 1882
1891, but not very successfully. Whilst practising as a doctor, in 1887, he published his first short
story featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, A study in Scarlet . The Strand magazine, founded in
1890, published a series of Sherlock Holmes stories, this let both the detective and the magazine

Instead Doyle s output of gradual information through Watson and the reader feels as though they
themselves are walking in the footsteps of Holmes good friend Dr Watson, solving the crime by with
the great detective of all time. Although very small but vital pieces of information is kept from the
reader, to ensure Sherlock Holmes always has the upper hand in the investigation. An example of this
is in Silver Blaze , when Holmes asks the inspector for a picture of John Straker but does not include
an explanation of why he needs it, this automatically builds suspension upon the reader s minds , as
they starts to wonder what Holmes knows that he is yet inform Watson about. Until the crime is solved
the reader will be full of anticipation and with the information that had been given to them, they ll try
to solve the case themselves.
In both The Red Headed League and Silver Blaze , Holmes holds back on the information he shares
with Watson and doesn t give away too much to Watson, and since Watson is the narrator, information
is also held back from the readers and all information that is given is given at a gradual pace. This
similarity shows that this is obviously a continuous technique of Doyle. An example of this in Red

Sir Francis Galton (1869, 1883) quantified traits that were assumed to be correlated, and developed
the first comprehensive test of intelligence. By the end of the 19th century, the foundation was laid for
modern day intelligence testing (Wicket, 1998). In 1905, the French psychologist Alfred Binet
published the first modern intelligence test to identify students who needed special help in coping with
the school curriculum (Neiser, et al. 1996). Shortly thereafter in 1908 and 1911, Alfred Binet and
Theodore Simon published revisions of the Binet intelligence test (Wicket). The mental age concept
was adopted to express the results in adequate units. The concept is based on an individual s
performance in comparison to the average performance of individuals in a specific chronological age
group (Kaplin, Saccuzzo). A further refinement of the Stanford Binet scale and translation (for
American culture) was published in 1916 by Lewis M. Terman, who adopted Stern s proposal that an
individual s intelligence level be measured as an intelligence quotient (I. Q.). The IQ score presumably
represented an individual s rate of mental development as a quotient, between mental age and actual
chronological age times 100 (to remove the decimal). Terman s test, known colloquially as the
Stanford Binet test, formed the basis for modern intelligence

9. The Theories Of Gestalt Psychology
Development of Gestalt Psychology Phrases such as seeing the forest from the trees and the whole is
greater than the sum of the parts have roots grounded in the same ideals of Gestalt psychology. These
phrases best describe the purpose of Gestalt psychology in how they emphasize focusing on the big
picture and not just the colors. The Gestalt concept of perception is how the mind understands the
world around it by seeing it in whole forms, not simple elements. The human brain and consciousness
contains an essence that loses value when broken down into elements of study. Origin of Gestalt
Musical notes when observed as whole produce complex and wonderful melodies. The notes alone do
not hold the same effect and take away value of the complete melody if only heard as individual tones.
When breaking such abilities down into elements, the value of the ability was being lost in the eyes of
Gestaltists. With psychology moving towards the molecular approach in studying consciousness and
behavior, the Gestaltists used a molar approach. (Hergenhan Henley, 2014). The origin of the word
Gestalt comes from Germany. According to Ginger (2007), the real meaning of the word is richer and
more complex, and is impossible to translate . The best comparison to English is configuration or form
. (Hergenhan Henley, 2014). The simple example of a Gestalt would be a child recognizing their

11. The Human Utilization Of Creepy Crawlies As Sustenance
Entomophagy is the human utilization of creepy crawlies as sustenance: human insectivore. The eggs,
hatchlings, pupae and grown ups of certain bug species have been eaten by man following ancient
times and keep on being a thing of the human sustenance in present day times. Human bug eating is
normal to societies in many parts of the world, including North, Central and South America; and
Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. More than 1,000 types of creepy crawlies are known to be
eaten in 80% of the world s countries. The aggregate number of ethnic gatherings recorded to practice

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
Throughout the world there is a long history of insect and terrestrial arthropod consumption as part of
the human diet, and in the last years this attitude is arrived also in Europe. Several studies suggest that
insects can be, for the future, one of the best sources of protein for humans and animals. The aims of
this project are to study the attitude of the people towards eating insect, called Entomophagy, and to
evaluate the factors responsible of it (Nadeau 2014). In practice, it is not possible to eliminate pest
insects from the human food chain. Insects are present in many foods, especially grains. Food laws in
many countries do not prohibit insect parts in food, but rather, they limit the quantity. People in rice
eating regions, for example, typically ingest significant numbers of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae)
larvae, and this has been suggested as an important source of vitamins (Srivastava Babu Pandey
2009).
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. What is the attitude of people towards Entomophagy?
2. Is the trend of Entomophagy increasing?
3. Are people welcoming to the view of substituting insects as being a high protein diet?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Segmented pricing takes several forms. Under customer segment pricing, different customer pay
different prices for the same product or service. Museums, for example, may charge a lower admission
for student and senior citizen, another example is tether in France they charge a cheaper arte for
student during the week. Under product form pricing, different versions of the product are priced
differently but not according to differences in their costs. For instance a 1 liter bottle (about 34
ounces) of Evian mineral water may cost $1.59 at your local supermarket. But a 5 ounce aerosol can
of Evian Brumisateur Mineral Water Spray sells for a suggested retail price of $11.39 at beauty
boutiques and spas. The water is all from the same source in the French Alps, and the aerosol packing
costs little more than the plastic bottles. Yet you pay about 5 cents an ounce for one form and $2.28 an
ounce for the other.
Using location pricing, a company charges different prices for different locations, even though the cost
of offering each location is the same. For example a university in the state charge student from out the
state higher tuition fee. Finally using time pricing, a firm varies its price by the season, the month, the
day, and even the hour. Some public utilities vary their prices to commercial users by time of day and

14. Superficiality And Significance Of Life In Joseph...
Lackluster Days In the passage from The Spectator, English satirist, Joseph Addison depicts through a
diarist the superficiality and insignificance of life in a bystander society created by wealth. His satiric
purposes is unveiled as through reading the diary of a bland man who is a product of a privileged
society he conveys the pettiness of the issues they are concerned with. Throughout the passage it s
shown that the diarist s society is no better than him as it s an essential part of his insignificant life.
This piece satirizes the superficiality and lackluster carried in the bystander s life while looking at his
daily routine and the minute details within his diary. A tone of superficiality I carried out throughout
the passage as the diarist reveals his priorities as well as the issues his society deems of importance.
Addison cultivates a tone in which society is represented as lackluster and apathetic. Mr. Nisby
accurately represents the working class society. He used as a contrast of the society the diarist come
from which is ignorant and views issues such as the death of the Grand Vizier as another daily event
which holds no meaning for it doesn t affect him directly. An example of society s disregard to the
outside world is directed when a stranger asks the diarist for the stock prices. This shows how no one
cares about the Grand Vizier but only of the stock prices, as the stock prices affect their flow of money
which allows them to live this lackluster lifestyle they find comfort in. This goes to show how the
diarist employs a sense that the bystander society is selfish. Addison s passage portrays society as
ignorant and consumed in their daily affairs with no care about anyone or anything unless it concern
them. Addison s selection of minute detail employs that the diarist pays much attention to his
lackluster lifestyle and finds it important enough to be recorded. For example his choice to focuses on
insignificant details such as double soled shoes and nap broke by the falling of a pewter dish implies
the diarist cares too much about small things. This is immensely satiric for the Grand Vizier, the prime

A charter was made for the state of Georgia in 1730, and Georgia became the thirteenth British Colony
in the new land (GA 1). James Oglethorpe and the group of people that he led did not believe in the
practice of slavery, but that did not stop slavery from entering this new state (GA 1). Georgia s land
was very fertile, so it was a great area for farmers to yield crops. The new large farms in Georgia lead
to many slaves being brought over to work the land. The invention of the cotton by Eli Whitney
increased the production of cotton, Georgia s most profitable commodity, and thus the amount of
slaves needed increased.

decades later, a question was raised by many: can those of the side of the enemy have good within

The numbers are quoted on their

diverse should not be thought of as a goal. In reality it s a train that has
already left the station.
So what does diversity mean in today s corporate world? Many organizations have rapidly become
diverse. With shifting populations in the United States, achieving diversity doesn t require much
effort.
But for many, diversity is still a code word for affirmative action. Many companies have developed
diversity programs, but their only metric for success is measuring the hiring and promotion of women
and people of color. Yet progressive companies understand that diversity management extends far
beyond hitting the numbers or compliance. It includes a wide range of activities designed to

26. Dbq Essay On The 18th Amendment
The 18th Amendment dealt with prohibiting the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol. This
amendment was ratified by the U.S. government and was probably one of the most futile proposals
they could have ever came up with. The 18th amendment should have never been approved because it
just gave Americans an alternative to break the law. Also, the government itself lost a great deal .
Americans would ,in a sense, never give up alcholol, leaving the American government helpless with
no other decision then to repeal the ban. To begin, the 18th amendment should have never been
ratified because it gave Americans that spark of rebellion to break the law. Americans did not want to
listen to the 18th amendment and deliberatley set up discreet locations just for them to drink alcohol.
Document 2 states Many people in the U.S. opposed this amendment and violated the law by going to
places called speakeasies to drink Document 2 also states Unfortunatley, many speakeasies make
payments to police for protection. This has led to a widespread corruption in our city government.

27. The Play Oppenheimer Follows The Story Of J Robert...
The play Oppenheimer follows the story of J Robert Oppenheimer and his colleagues on their journey
to discover and invent the atomic bomb. As the book is about the creation of this atomic weapon, the
entirety of it relates to morals in some shape or form. Throughout the reading of the play I kept
thinking about the moral implications of the work they were doing and what might each individual
character be thinking of it. There were two parts of the play that made me really come up with this
question in particular. The first was in chapter 22 Hiroshima, when it was talking about the bombing
of Hiroshima. That whole page was very eye opening to think how so many people died, even though
it helped many more in the end, for those people ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I can agree with the idea that basing actions on morals can help to ensure that people are not being
irrational in their thought processes and that people s needs are more likely put ahead of individual
wants. If morals were not involved, then decisions would most likely be made depending on what
would advance the position of that person the most or on other selfish wants. At the same time,
without morals being looked at, many lives could be lost because there is no clear way to judge things
and come up with an agreement. Without morals, it can be extremely tough to figure out right from
wrong and how a group or individual should act. Conversely, by looking at it from the perspective that
morals should not be the basis of decision making, you can see that if we don t use them, then many
people can get hurt as a result. If people make choices without thinking of the consequences or about
what is important to them and the people around them, the wrong choice may be made. While morals
shouldn t be the only thing considered, they must be taken into account to ensure the right things are
being done. If we only base our actions on morals, then some very important past discoveries may not
have been made. If people only consider morals than not only will decisions be biased as each person
has different morals, but many things in history may not have been accomplished. For example, the
nuclear bomb may not have been invented or people might

and was truly evil at his essence; He visited the crematoria regularly and liked to watch people being
shoved into the gas chambers. (pp.144) One day in August of 1943, the SS were unloading a transport

The sick Schreiber carried his box to Block 14, and then the Waschraum. Onlookers thought he was
odd considering he could have given these items away before being executed. However, one onlooker;
a doctor reminds the readers that, Something [could] surely happen along the way. Holding a package
would be a little like holding somebody s hand. (pp.150) The theme of this short story is that the
victims of the Holocaust were surely strong at heart and would not give up until the bitter end. Lastly,
another theme that could be derived is that no one can understand death until it is staring them in the
face; this was symbolized when the author stated, The Jews who were driven to the gas chamber sand
some soul stirring Hebrew song which nobody could understand. (pp.151) While most of the prisoners
in the camp were Jewish, no one except those being driven to their deaths could understand the hymn
that was sung. A True Story was about a malnourished man sick with typhoid fever whom told many

After the Warring States Period, there were two major dynasties; the Qin and the Han. The Qin
dynasty ruled first and created many policies that were adopted and abandoned by the second rulers,
the Han dynasty.
One policy that was implemented from the Qin, by the Han was standardization. Shi Huangdi, the
ruler during the Qin dynasty, implemented the idea of standardization and executed his plans for
standardization in an orderly fashion. Huangdi standardized the following throughout China; the
Chinese language, the weights and measurements used, the currency of China, and the axes on
transportation or motor vehicles. The Han dynasty adopted this policy because the standards were the

IN the Qin dynasty, Shi Huangdi created a centralized government since the rulers before, the Zhou
dynasty, had been rebelled against because their government structure was a mess. For example, the
Zhou did not have a good connection with their outer cities and the Zhou government leaders did not
know what was going on in their society. Shi Huangdi created provinces, which was divided into
counties, and there were heads of the provinces who reported to the emperor about what was going on
within their province. In the counties there was a head too. The head of the county reported to the head
of the province. The Han adopted this because it created a strong government and worked for the Qin
dynasty. Both the Qin and Han did not want to be overthrown like the Zhou dynasty was. A last policy
that was adopted by the Han was that of, expanding the territory. Shi Huangdi performed the act of
expanding territory and pushed his borders out to the Yellow/Huang River. Shi Huangdi grew his
territory because he had a growing population with overcrowded cities. The Han dynasty decided to

Reflection
I do not feel that I have sufficient data to make an informed decision on the effectiveness of this
intervention for Adam. However, I would conclude that my attempt at a behavior intervention was
unsuccessful. This was due to a variety of reasons. The foremost reason being to inconsistent
application of the intervention. At times, weeks passed between trials. As we have learned,
intervention is successful when it is implemented regularly.
It was unwise to set my intervention monitoring in an environment which I have no control over and
for a small window of time, for a specific type of instruction. Instruction is not given at a set period of
time, as I had thought when collecting my baseline data. Adam s general education teacher often has
them do individual work, then moves to whole group instruction, at which point I need to leave.
Furthermore, there are a great deal of holidays during autumn, so students were often participating in
the arts, rather than math. These issues could have potentially been avoided if I had spoken to his
general education teacher about her schedule, but I did not. Further consultation could have helped
this project to be successful.
The token board may have not been the most appropriate intervention for what I was doing. I chose
this intervention because both Adam and I are familiar with it. Further, I had planned to increase the

At first we couldn t rejected the null hypothesis because result from table 1 shows that only two
variables were stationary at level while four variables became stationary at first difference and the
result gives us the strong proof of unit root in the variables. Therefore all variables were tested at first
difference and the ADF test make known that all the variables became stationary at first difference,
therefore, the null hypothesis at first difference of unit root were rejected so we concluded by saying
that the variables became stationary after first difference. Which means that the variables are co
integrated of order one I(1), and this give us the chance to performed co integration analysis. From the
result, we realized that international trade in Liberia more than decades has produced a very little
