Isaac Kramnick’s “Discourse of Politics in 1787” deals with the paradigm of homo civicus (civic humanism) and liberalism in the Constitution‚ the Federalist and Antifederalist papers along with political positions used to address the concepts of virtue and power. The historical background of 1787 establishes the United States as a country incapable of defending its sovereignty as an independent nation and‚ in the same time‚ a confederation of sovereign states with a weak central government.

Sir Isaac Newton I am Sir Isaac Newton. I am a mathematician and physicist‚ and one of the foremost scientific intellects of all time. I was born at Woolsthorpe‚ near Grantham in Lincolnshire‚ in 1642. I entered Cambridge University in 1661; then was elected at Fellow of Trinity College in 1667‚ then Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in 1669. I remained at the university‚ lecturing in most years‚ until 1696. Of these Cambridge years‚ in which I was at the height of my creative power‚ I singled out

We need to question everything. Questioning ideas and things we know as fact is how we learn and progress. Galileo Galilei‚ Johannes Kepler‚ and Isaac Newton understood this. Science had some answers for things‚ however since they questioned those things they were able to get to truth. Galileo was born in 1564. He was a professor of mathematics. It is a common misconception that Galileo invented the telescope. However‚ that is not true. Galileo was the first person to look at the sky through a telescope

The Thomas Theorem William Isaac Thomas (13 August 1863 – 5 December 1947) was an American sociologist. I decided to write about the W.I Thomas after reading about the other theorist I decided that W.I Thomas theory was much more intriguing and very controversial. W. I Thomas is well known for his quote: "If men define situations as real‚ they are real in their consequences." In 1928‚ the sociologist W.I. Thomas formulated this statement which later became known as the Thomas Theorem.

When Isaac Asimov envisioned a world in which robots would be as common as humans‚ he determined all of the ethics and morals that would bind these smart machines with three rules: “1. A robot may not injure a human being‚ or through inaction allow it to come to harm‚ 2. A robot must always obey a human‚ unless this conflicts with the first law‚ 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this doesn’t interfere with the first or second law” (Asimov‚ 1941). These three statements were baptized

During the course of this research paper about Sir Isaac Newton‚ I had to conduct many researches done by previous historians. I followed in their footsteps by using outside sources to conduct my paper‚ sources such as the internet and textbooks. The historians used in this paper helped me collect the evidences needed to prove my claim and thesis to be accurate. Historians help to reveal facts and interesting events that occur in the lives of their topic. They provide details in which can be used

factors‚ mass and force. The graph above shows the relationship between acceleration and force as proportional. As the force upon the car in the experiment increased‚ the acceleration of the car increased by a similar proportional. This complies with Isaac Newton’s second law of motion‚ the law of acceleration‚ which describes acceleration and force as two proportional measures in the equation F (force) = m(mass) x Ac(acceleration)‚ also described in the equation Acceleration= force/mass. With this equation

These two articles are similar in that they are both writing pieces by authors writing in first person about their books or writings. Amy Tan and Isaac Asimov are both writing about something specific about their writings. Amy Tan talks about how her experiences with her mother contributes to her writing and Isaac Asimov analyzes why he is a good science fiction writer and what it takes to be one. In the article Mother Tongue by Amy Tan‚ Amy writes about what it was like growing up with her

Lost Kenneth Rexroth has said of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s works that they seem to illustrate a specific view of the world. He described this theory on life saying that "life itself is haunted...We all live in the shadowy frivolous world of a spiritualistic séance... The point is that somewhere at the heart of reality something is running down." At first this seems to be just an eloquent masterpiece of a sentence but is it backed by truth? In my modest opinion I think that everything we live and every
