.... death is the only definite destiny one can be sure to reach; most people live believing the existence of an afterlife, yet there has never been any proof of its actuality. Camus critiques in The Plague the ability of "Absolute Truth"- God's definition of our being here, to effectively guide the lives of the people of Oran, he thus challenges man to do the work that has hitherto assigned to God/Absolute Truth. Using the characters like Rambert and Paneloux, Camus questions the potency of romantic love and Christianity to guide mankind through the crisis the plague brings forth. Camus argues through the forming of the sanitary squads and the consistent battles Rieux puts up ag ....

.... that men generally talk more in public situations, while women tend to talk more at home. She follows up by talking about how most of the women that divorced gave lack of communication as the reason for the divorce while only a few men cited it as a reason.

She goes on by comparing the difference in behavior between boys and girls and how they only interact with the ....

.... it is agreed that Paul wrote I Thessalonians, the text and style of II Thessalonians can be compared to it. If things such as vocabulary and style differ between the two, it shows that Paul may not have written II Thessalonians. An example of this is noticeable in II Thessalonians 1:3 and 2:13. The verses have the phrase, "we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters…" (NRSV) which cannot be found in any other works by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different tha ....

.... of the argument. Though, by finding the premises false, the argument is not sound, and therefore, Zeno's argument leaves much to be said. Deciphering from what we know of the argument by what Aristotle tells us in Chapter 9, the premises are sketched out: 1. Everything is at rest when at a place equal to it; 2. The Flying arrow is at rest when at a place equal to it; 3. Time is composed of indivisible nows (instants). 4. Everything that changes place is doing so in the now. 5. Conclusion: The flying arrow doesn't move. According to Zeno, time is composed of many indivisible nows, or instants. Aristotle disagrees, stating in ....

.... almost super natural strength. Hercules, only eight or ten months old, strangled the two serpents sent by Hera to destroy him. Sometimes more than one enemy would try to slay the hero, as in the story of Krishna of Indian origin. When Krishna was a newborn baby a demoness (rakshasi), who took the form of a woman and carried poison in her breasts, came to assassinate him. She sat to nurse him and when he drew the milk from her he also drew out her life. A third mythological hero that supports the characteristic of strength is in the story of Theseus of Greek origin.
