Theory Of Knowledge
1207 Words - 5 Pages

.... as history and physics are actually forms of logic applied to the world to gain more knowledge. Man is naturally curious and has created subjects to understand different aspects of the world. But since logic is a man made tool, it can be used to understand an event controlled or created by man, and cannot understand something that is one hundred percent natural. For something to be logical, it must make sense and have a rational and understandable explanation. There are two types of logic, deductive and inductive. Logic, whether inductive or deductive, must have a premise. To have a sound argument, I had to have two true premises and the conclusion had to be in specific r ....

A recent study done by Kolbe, Richard H., and Darrel Meuhling revealed that boys tend to be rigid in their rejections of any play initiatives demonstrated by female model. Moreover, it was also found that there is an element of social risk involved for both boys and girls, who wish to adopt opposite-gender behavior, specially as they grow older and allegiance to their own gender becomes socially more important. For example, video game advertising starts influencing young boys with bloody and violent games like "Duke Nukem: Zero hour". This game shows a strong men dressed ....


Trigonometry

.... of similar figures. Did Pythagoras derive the Pythagorean Theorem or did he piece it together by studying ancient cultures; Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China? What did these ancient cultures know about the theorem? Where was the theorem used in their societies? In "Geometry and Algebra in Ancient Civilizations", the author discusses who originally derived the Pythagorean Theorem. He quotes Proclos, a commentator of Euclid's elements, "if we listen to those who wish to recount the ancient history we may find some who refer this theorem to Pythagoras, and say that he sacrificed an ox in honor of his discovery". If this statement is considered as a statement of fact, i ....

3499 Words - 13 Pages

.... During a novice's initiation, he learns the myth of Daramulun, which means “Father," who is also called Biamban, or “Master.” Long ago, Daramulun dwelt on earth with his mother. The earth was barren and sterile. There were no human beings, only animals. Daramulun created the ancestors of the tribes and taught them how to live. He gave them the laws that are handed down from father to son, founded the initiation ceremonies and made the bull-roarer, the sound of which imitates his voice. It is Daramulun that gives the medicine men their powers. When a man dies, it is Daramulun who cares for his spirit. This belief was witnessed before the intervention of Chr ....

.... much of the island and it’s economy. Political Development: The political future of the small country has been uncertain since the first Europeans landed on the island in 1492, along with the now famous Columbus. Indeed, for the first several years, even the name of the island itself changed frequently before eventually settling on Cuba ( which originates from the local name Cubanascnan). The title to the island bounced back and forth as well. First from Spain, then to England after the seven year war, then back to Spain, and eventually to the sovereign country that it is today. During the Batista years ( 1952-1959 ), life for the islanders was repressive and ....

.... anyone who has learned to key can sit down at the electronic typewriter and within a few minutes operate it with amazing ease and speed. According to Paez (1985, 55): A familiar keyboard, which requires fewer keystrokes and has a simpler, less code-intensive user interface, makes the Transition to a high-end typewriter much easier than the Transition to a personal computer with the same functions.

.... plans to do one thing with great effectiveness and efficiency. This specialization allows an organization to do whatever it does extremely well, perhaps even better than other organizations. Used mostly by small organizations, it reduces the amount of resources required and as such is a low risk strategy. However, it ties up all of the firm's resources on a single product, service, or product line. The firm's success and growth is dependent entirely on that particular product with nothing to fall back on were that product to fail.
