However, the way in which this complex motion begins is a source of controversy and disagreement amongst the Atomists. Democritus assumes that the atoms' motion is perpetual. The atoms are never at rest. He presumes th ....


Human Nature As Competitive

.... same thing, which they both cannot have. They become enemies and they seek to destroy or subdue the other. Some examples of this are two families that want to purchase the same house. They try to subdue each other by raising the amount they are willing to pay for the house, even if it is more than they were planning on spending. Every person thinks their companion should value them and when the person undervalues them, they will do whatever it takes to be as valued as they would like to be. There are three principle causes of quarrel in the nature of man. They are competition, diffidence (or distrust), and glory. In human nature, competition is for gain, diffidence i ....

.... that has managed to stay strong for over three hundred years. started in the 17th century by a nation of people known as the Yoruba. They were brought over as slaves to Cuba to work the plantations and harvest the islands sugar crop. The Yoruba's were forced to disguise their religion. To do so they worshiped their Orishas (or spirits. The Yoruba believe that for every action there is a Orisha), beneath the images of Catholic Saints.

Yet, this creates a positive situation for the stupid person. They will have a lot of free time on their hands for more of lifes truly meaningful pleasures. Some of these activities are combing facial hair, and counting the pixels on a Sony TV. Now, there has been a rumour going around that suggests that stupid people have low expectations. Th ....

Survival In A Net Based Societ
699 Words - 3 Pages

.... have disseminated this information to the common people, but while doing so they have added thier own baggage to it. Information has been controlled, censored and made 'correct' for the common man, for you and for me. We are told in news shows, in newspapers, in magazines, in classrooms as to what is correct and what is wrong.

E-mail allows almost insta ....

.... blinded by infatuation rather than by true love, or, quite simply, the couples mistakenly have different relational expectations. Ultimately, all the possibilities point to one thing, which is a lack of communication. Somewhere along the line, there must have been a breakdown in the interpersonal communication process. Seemingly, the marital dyad has not used the correct communication patterns needed to sustain their relationship. In some way, each of them has notevaluated their partner carefully enough to ensure that this chosen individual is, in fact, truly their life long partner. By no means, is this the sole reason for divorce, but it certainly plays an enormous rol ....
