... distinctly conscious of what he is doing. If he was not distinctly of this, then his intelligence was already somewhat obsecured before he began, and the question merely returns again. If it is assumed on the contrary that when he began to obsecure his intelligence he was distinctly conscious of it, then sin (even though it be unconsciousness, seeing that this was an induced state) would not lie in the intelligence but in the will, and the question which must be raised is about the relation of he intelligence and the will to one another. With such questions as these ( and one might continue to augment them for a many a day) the Socratic definition does not deal. S ...

... will succeed without effective communication." Yet all of us view communication differently. Almost all of you (91 percent of all communicators) define your roles as messengers in the pipeline -- the ability to get those change announcements and newsletters out with skillfully managed messages, videos produced, management to show up at town meetings saying the right things. I'm sorry, but what we need is beyond context. "Hello? Is anybody listening? Enough with the 'why we're changing' crap," was one of my responses during a study interview. "I want solid information I can use to make real decisions. Not just 'context setting.'" Context is nice, and if done wel ...

... points to a clear relationship between the presence of pets and significantly better physical and emotional well-being” (Witherell 76). Pet owners reported fewer headaches, fewer bouts of indigestion, and less difficulty sleeping in one study (Avanzino). Also, interaction with animals is shown to reduce blood pressure and heart rate, subtle changes with enormous health benefits (Whitaker; Schellenberg 2). For example, a large Australian study reported in 1992 indicated that pet owners are at lower risk for heart disease than non-pet owners because of lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lower blood pressure (Schellenberg 2). A recent study at UC ...

... He did not go away and leave it. By Him it was created and in Him exists” (4.12). Nothing in this world exists apart from God. Also, God is in control of everything in this world. “Everything takes its place according to your law” (1.7). Augustine clearly sets forth that God is the creator and source of everything. Not only is He the source, but he is the reason for its continued existence. The next step Augustine takes regards the nature of God's creation. For Augustine, God is good, because everything He made is good. “You are our God, supreme Good, the Creator and Ruler of the universe” (1.20), and again, “Therefore, the God who made me must be g ...

... most fertile source of knowledge is the history of human opinions. Knowledge, in fact, is the relationship between a person and the world. While most philosopher agree with this basic definition, most all of them disagree about the fundamental nature of that relationship. There are many cases that prove that people have attempted to impose their believes on others, being in the end punished because thought to be crazy. One of those is Galileo Galilei, he was sure in fact that the sun was not revolving around earth, but instead the earth revolves around the sun. Also the early Greek philosopher Anaxagoras was exiled from Athens because he was saying the moon was a ...

... successes, variety of means and social activity, and other family benefits. Academically, homeschooled children scored significantly higher in every grade level of the ITBS and TAB (tests given to children to measure academic progress) than private or public schooled children.

In 5th grade, the gap begins to widen and by 8th grade, they average four grade levels ahead. Family race and income, child’s gender, and parent’s education does not seem to affect the test scores for homeschooled children ...

... - Example: Correctional facilities have an average of Grade Three reading level. Not only does the definition of illiteracy mean “loss” but to me it’s the root of poverty, crime and lost productivity in our cities. Now that I have defined illiteracy, I want to raise the awareness of this problem, how it relates to women and propose a policy to help solve the problem. Illiteracy exists in America and in all nations all over the world, and the percentages of illiterate women are much higher than illiterate men. Many people assume that illiterate Americans are concentrated in large cities with troubled schools. Although this may be true in some cases, there ...
