... than He is (existing only in the understanding). Based on that supposition, God is not the being than which none greater is possible. If Anselm’s initial definition of God is substituted into the previous inference, it becomes a contradictory statement: the being than which none greater is possible is not the being than which none greater is possible. Therefore Anselm supposition that God exists only in the understanding is false. By proving this to be invalid Anselm has, in effect, proven that God must exist in the understanding and reality. This final conclusion, that God must exist in reality, is the goal of Anselm’s argument. Chapters III ...

... individual. I believe that Jane Austin made a purpose of making every behavior and line of dialogue given by him into a reason for us to like him less and less. He starts out as a simple minded man who just happens to be a braggart. However, as the novel goes on his personality becomes more and more objectionable, and when he throws in such statements as "your sister would have rather died than disgrace her family" (in speaking of Lydia’s elopement) we begin to down right detest him. The manner in which he approaches people gives us a very good idea of the type of character that Jane Austin is trying to portray. Take his proposal to Lizzy as an e ...

... homeless person threw a brick at a random civilian. Third and last, Giuliani has (and may I say with due cause and legitimate reason) restricted a new and provocative art exhibit from coming to certain museums. The exhibit is lewd and way too risqué. Now in order too fully apprecitate Giuliani's Nazi like tactics in running New York City like a police state, one must look in more detail at the three examples described above. In the first example - Giuliani's decides to put paramilitary SWAT cars, and criminal housing vans on every corner. This is absolutely wonderful; this allows Giuliani to strike fear in the heart of every New York citizen. By putting police car ...

... being used are common school supplies, what can one do? The number of students injured by their classmates with common school supplies such as pencils and pens are on the rise. A student carrying a gun or a knife is often busted before having an opportunity to use said weapon, one with a pencil on the other hand, they run free until they seriously injure or even possibly kill someone with the pencil. Our current policy is to deal with the student after they commit the crime, as far as stabbing with pencils go anyway, treating them as though they had used any other weapon. It is my belief that something can be done to prevent, or at least minimize the number o ...

... products are part of the research and development commercial function. R&D should be looking at two areas, which are to: A) Take as much care for the environment as possible. B) Make use of materials in the most efficient way. By doing this they must calculate their costs and make sure they can do the above without getting into debts from the costs they produce. The businesses labs keep links between the universities so that they can exchange research findings which they may be able to put into practise by incorporating the new technology in their products possibly to create something innovative. It also can save time and unwanted investment. R&D ...

... attempt to create the perfect wife through Catherine, may have in fact been too successful, as he leaves the reader questioning whether she “is too idealistic, too selflessly loving and giving to be believed as a character.” This is no truer than at the hospital after Catherine informs Frederic (Tenente), that she is pregnant her only concern becomes his happiness despite his constant pleas that he is in fact happy about the pregnancy. This is only overshadowed by her constant reassurances that she will be a “good girl”, never failing to apologize hastily for any momentary lapse in judgement. In fact, Catherine never fails to support Frederic for any of the risks ...

... use of fraud, force and terror; control by the ruler of all avenues of communication, thus facilitating the deliberate molding of public opinion; and the employment of surveillance and terrorist activities of subordinates who can be disowned and liquidated by the ruler, who thus escapes the blame for their atrocities. (In other words, the big political figureheads get their lackeys to do their dirty work and then use them as scapegoats.) Basically, what Machiavelli was trying to say was that if a prince conquered a city, the people would hate him, but if the prince secretly hired terrorists to create an insurrection, then marched into the city to pu ...

... famous Columbus. Indeed, for the first several years, even the name of the island itself changed frequently before eventually settling on Cuba ( which originates from the local name Cubanascnan). The title to the island bounced back and forth as well. First from Spain, then to England after the seven year war, then back to Spain, and eventually to the sovereign country that it is today. During the Batista years ( 1952-1959 ), life for the islanders was repressive and conditions pour. Initially Batista was merely interested in cowtoeing to the American investors and tourists that flocked to the island, but he gradually developed his own personal political ...

... goal of the game is to get the ball into the basket. Finally the school has their safe game. Then Dr. Naismith devises a set of rules to keep order throughout his game. The sport was an instant success. The game of basketball has changed from a rough sport into a game anyone can play due to the alterations of the rules and new team and player styles that give athletes of all shapes and sizes an equal opportunity to play and excel. There were many early changes in the sport of basketball to keep the game safe. A quickly abolished rule was the use of a cage encircling the court to keep the ball from landing among fans. A one-and-one free- throw rule is added ...

... the eighteenth century. The Seminole fled there because Spain owned Florida, and they hoped they would be free. They shared the land with another group of Indians, the Apalachee and the Timucua, who spoke the Mikasuki Language. (Seminole Indians 290) By about the year 1775, they began to be known by the name Seminole, which is derived from the Creek word simanoli, meaning "separatist," or "runaway". The name, Seminole, could also originate from the Spanish word cimarron, meaning "wild." Also joining the migrants were Indian and Negro slaves, who fled from the power struggles between the Americans and the Indians. (Seminole 626) The Indians who moved to Flor ...
