For example, when the Puritans came to America in search of religious freedom, they were given the opportunity to start fresh and practice their faith; most of them cherished this occasion and eventually achieved spiritual fulfillment. Of course, this achievement was not effortless: the Puritans demanded more strict doctrines and often fought among themselves in order to agree on such things. The main picture is that they were given the opportunity to fulf ...

The abdomen contains five pairs of swimming legs, called pleopods, and a fanlike tail. Many small shrimp are harvested from the cold waters of Iceland, Greenland, and Canada. Today, cultured or farmed marine shrimp play an important role in supplying the world’s shrimp demand. Total wild and farmed shrimp harvest accounts for less than 5 percent of the total world fisheries harvest.

... not aware that the belief is ill- formed. A belief is superweakly justified iff the process that produces the belief is unreliable but the subject did not intentionally come to hold the belief because it was acquired unreliably. And, finally, a belief has strong meta-justification iff the subject neither believes that nor can determine if the belief is ill-formed (hence the "meta-" prefix), and the subject is aware of the process by which he got the belief and that the process is reliable. OK, seems reasonable enough. But, Sosa points out, there are a couple of scenarios (actually, three, but Sosa concentrates mainly on the two listed below) in which these ...

... least a limited imagination. They play, they study things the way humans might, and they hunt with quick thought processes. Science is ruled by imagination. Not one scientist could come up with new ideas for his/her field without using his imagination along with his learned skills. Imagination drives everything, makes everything what it is. Imagination is what is responsible for creating society. We all imagine how our lives could be. What profession we want, house, clothing style, children. The human society is never, and will never, be truly content with life. We always want more, better. For some people, they want less. In my opini ...

Denying the possibility of developmental laws in sociology, Weber essentially presented rationalisation as the master trend of Western capitalist society. Rationalisation is the process whereby every area of human relationships is subject to calculation and administration. While Marxists have noted the prominence of rational calculation in factory discipli ...

... for many differently designed bikes were needed. The motorcycle started out as a bicycle with a motor, but as technology evolved it soon became it's own entity. The designs were so useful that police agencies began using them to combat crimes. The U.S. military quickly realized the advantages of two wheels, and soon put them into service. Upon returning from war, U.S. service members soon began using their personal motorcycle as a tool for expressing themselves. This spread to many other countries and soon changes started coming about. The big brutish cycles of the fifties soon started to change to sensible machines built for commuting and reliability.

... established by the Mexican government to provide employment for Mexico’s rapidly growing population along its border with the United States. This program was utilized to keep Mexicans from entering the United States. The idea was that Mexican workers would be kept on the Mexican side of the border if they were given factory jobs on the Mexican side. The Maquiladora program also wanted to attract foreign manufacturing facilities, technology, and know-how by giving a permanent tax holiday to manufacturing companies that would set up “twin plants” on the Mexican side of the border. In the beginning of the program, all foreign-owned operations had to be located with ...
