In this paper I will describe Plato's metaphysical dualism in the history of western philosophical and religious traditions and then compare it to the Chinese naturalistic metaphysics. Following the comparison, I will discuss the differences with a knowledge theory between a ratiocinative Hellenistic view and an intuition-based Doaist position.…
Beginning in 1910 and ending in the 1970s, Australians Federal and State government agencies and church missions made a policy to forcibly take many aboriginal and Torres Strait children away from their families in an attempt to destroy the Aboriginal race and culture. There was an impact on the aboriginals with a particular policy the Australian Government had introduced, which was the policy of ‘Assimilation’. This policy was to encourage many Aboriginal people to give up their culture, language, tradition, knowledge and spirituality to basically become white Australians. Unfortunately this policy didn’t give the Aboriginals the same rights as white Australians, as a result of discrimination, aboriginals were moved to live in special housing…
In this paper I will be reviewing both academic and journalistic articles on the hit series MTV’s The Real World. Both articles took different approaches when critically looking at the television show. The amount of evidence that was offered in the academic essay was significantly bigger than what was offered in the journalistic essay. The academic essay I looked at came directly from our textbook, it was “Constructions of Reality on MTV’s The Real World: An Analysis of the Restrictive Coding of Black Masculinity” by Mark P. Orbe. This article made claims such as “The Real World is not about characters following a pre-determined script, but rather the real life experiences of young people…that work to unmask and deconstruct racial and gender stereotypes”. The journalistic article I chose to review was found online on the RollingStone website, it was “The Real World' Keeps Turning: How MTV's Hit Survived to Season 29” by Andy Greene. In his review Greene mainly talked about how long the series has lasted rather than touching on what the text is about. On the other hand Orbe provides plenty of evidence on how this text shows “the ways in which this programming format contributes to the hegemonic power of racial images in reinforcing a general societal fear of Black men.”…
Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" is the ninth episode of the first season of the animated comedy television series South Park. The show's first Christmas special, it portrays the Jewish character Kyle feeling excluded from the town's Christmas celebrations and being comforted by Mr. Hankey, who can talk and sing. As Mr. Hankey does not come alive in the presence of other characters, they begin to think that Kyle is delusional. In another plot strand, the townspeople remove all symbols of Christmas from South Park to render the celebrations politically correct and inoffensive. When all the children start believing in him, Mr. Hankey finally reveals himself to everyone and scolds them for losing sight of the good things of Christmas and focusing on the bad. The townspeople apologize to Kyle, then sing Christmas songs and watch Mr. Hankey fly away with Santa Claus. Heavily influenced by the Peanuts Christmas special A Charlie Brown Christmas, "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo" was the first South Park musical episode and the only episode in season one in which Kenny does not die. It is a satire of political correctness and religious sensitivity and has been described as one of the classic South Park episodes. (Full article...)

Every athlete is always looking for a way to increase their performances. Whether it’s a football player lifting weights to gain muscle for throwing, a soccer player working on their foot techniques, or a swimmer who’s in the pool everyday to help perfect their stroke. All these athletes have one thing in common, to become better all they have to do is practice, practice their throwing, their foot skills or their stroke and though doing so takes a lot of strength when it comes to a runner, what can they really do to increase performance? Running day in and day out will only get you so far. Most runners say their secret to helping them reach their potential is simply eating right. As a runner not all people necessarily agree with this while eating right may have its benefits for a runner and mostly every athlete. I believe it is detrimental to a person’s performance. This research project is to test just that, how important maintaining a healthy diet is to a performance.…
My choice would be to challenge my partner about what happened in the interview room. The outcome seem fair to me; my partner says that he did cross the line and tentionally avoided bringing the parents to make it easier to frighten both suspects, but he is absolutely convinced that they are guilty – you accept this. Both suspects are arrested and bound over for trail. Bail is denied. This way works for me because ethically, you want to follow the law as well as be fair for your partner. I would give my partner the change to make things straight before it becomes bigger than it already is, and not reporting him because he is my partner, and morally our relationship should have an action that’s non-ethical. Just like an organization, many would not usually consider an organization as having ethics.…
Cell phones, I Pods and I pads are just a few of the items banned during the school day in every school. There is no consideration for the student longing to put a headphone in his/her ear to drone out the surrounding chatter while completing an assignment. Nor is there an opportunity for the student to call/text their parents letting them know about their football practice cancellation, even though it may be during passing period or lunch.…

School plays an important role in our society. Many of us spend more than fifteen years at school in order to get knowledge for better living. Two important steps that we go through life are high school and college. They are so pleasurable. They can also be challenging. College and high school share the same common goal to teach students to learn. In fact, college and high school are completely different experiences.…
