... number of course web pages, and increasing use of student e-mail. Computers also facilitate communication in large lecture halls where sometimes students find it impossible to talk with their professors. E-mail has become the most efficient way by which teachers and students interact. However, one can argue that e-mail is an artificial substitute for student-teacher contact. After all we did come to college to get an education from superior individuals in their subject area. E-mail seems to defeat the purpose of this idea because anyone can e-mail, but, not everybody can go to a world renowned professors office and have a conversation about the material ...

... tests that had taken place involving mice and the correlation between cancer and cigarette smoke. A top executive from Liggett & Myers (F.R. Darkis) Who had seemed excited about the project, wanted to perform tests on mice to see whether or not the cigarette’s from Liggett & Myers Also known as the Chester Company would cause cancer in mice.

... helplessness if we are able to laugh at what is troubling us. Humor gives us a sense of perspective and may allow for refocusing thoughts during times of difficultly. Laughter provides an opportunity for the release of those uncomfortable emotions, which, if oppressed, may create changes that are harmful.

They may feel anger and frustration when a patient rejects care or is noncompliant with treatment. They may feel grief when patients die or families mourn. Caregivers are at risk ...

... identity is sports. This is quite financially the one factor that affects everyone. Every Monday night during the summer and on Sundays, the Fox network broadcasts the NFL. How many Canadians would rather watch the Tiger Cats and Argos battle, when they can watch the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots play some football and then to watch the cheerleaders? All of them, practically. In summary, this apparent coca-colonization of the Canadian social identity is on the uprise of one specific medium, the medium. Second, not only is the Americanization happening in the aspect of social identity, but it also flows over into national identity. What can be said a ...

... offers in their advertisements. Next, in today’s society, more service providers are requiring that you use credit cards to pay for and receive their services. One example is Internet service providers. It is almost impossible to acquire Internet service without using a credit card. The regular payment by check is not acceptable to many providers. Most of the time, a person needs a credit card in order to make reservations at a motel or restaurant. Also, if someone wants to purchase tickets to a popular concert coming to the area, the preferred way to reserve a seat quickly is by using a credit card. Another card sweeping the country now is the ATM card. Prese ...

Blair, Gerard. “How to Build Quality into your Team” IEE Engineering Management Journal, (1996). There are certain frameworks within which teams attempt to work. It’s the inability to function within these ‘frames’ that in another disadvantage to teamwork. The “forming stage” is when first comes together.

... of cause and effect. Descartes brings some examples to demonstrate his cause and effect theory. More importantly, is the logic that lies behind the actual theory. The rationale that an object will have an effect is only if it stems from a legitimate cause. A stone, for example, cannot be perceived accurately if there isn't an initial idea preceding with equal or superior properties in one's intellect. The mind generates ideas and develops reality through previous schema or beliefs as Descartes states: "And although an idea may give rise to another idea, this regress cannot, nevertheless, be infinite;we must in the end ...

... statements on the order of "Well this game is a surprise" or "Too little too late". You see that the reviewer never had high expectations for the game and often concentrates more heavily on the faults rather the strengths of the game. To further illustrate the point of this editorial, I will take into account some recent events and how they were reported. My favorite one is the premiere issue of "Incite" magazine. This publication should cover all systems except that the premiere issue had barely any coverage on Dreamcast games. Instant classics like "Soul Calibur", "Sonic Adventure", and "NFL 2K" of course were never reviewed. The game that was rated was Virtua ...

... form of the argument is that God is "that than which none greater can be conceived" (45) . Firstly, it must be emphasised that Anselm’s definition does not limit God to being the "greatest" but Anselem makes it known that nothing greater can be thought than God himself. Therefore, God should not in any way be linked to terms such as ‘omnipotent’ as terminology such as this limit him to what he really is. With this definition, Anselem tries to prove that not only does God exist in the mind but also in reality. He is saying that Because God is something and can be perceived, God must exist. Another way of stating this is that: God is perfect so ...
