In the final scene of the movie Crimes and Misdemeanors‚ I believe the fictional philosopher Louse Levy’s message was very similar to philosophy Jean-Paul Sartre and his theory on existentialism. One of Sartre’s quotes‚ “Man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself.” Levy is trying to convey that we are in control of our choices and we choose our own happiness. In the final scene of the film Levy states‚ “We’re all faced throughout our lives with making conscience moral decisions. Some

CAN WE THINK WITHOUT LANGUAGE Many anthropologists‚ linguists‚ psychologists‚ biologists and other academics have attempted to tackle this question in recent decades. It is sort of "chicken or egg" conundrum: Did human beings first develop the physical capabilities for language (larger brains‚ vocal tract‚ etc) with the actual development of language following it‚ or had the capabilities for speech already arisen and only with the development of physical production of language itself follow?

To understand what our world really is‚ we must first understand ourselves‚ rather‚ our own thoughts. Yet in saying that‚ the mind itself is too complex for a mere human to understand‚ let alone to understand the entire world. “If our brain

Can We Really Hide From Failure? Does success and failure go hand in hand? Success gives people satisfaction and delight‚ where failure can discourage and exhaust them. But what people can tend to forget is that in life‚ everyone comes across failure every once in a while. What everyone should remember is that no one is perfect and they should not lose hope and give up.

article‚ to solve the right problem‚ first of all‚ we have to set the need for a solution. There’s no doubt to find out and focus on the basic need which is the core of the problem instead of jumping to a solution. I strongly believe that there’s no one right way to solve a problem‚ and if we rush to find the solution‚ we may trap into the problem and never solve it.

Culture War Government and Politics is an ideal that shapes and influences many different aspects of an individual and/or the nation‚ however‚ Government and Politics itself can be shaped by another general idea that identifies nations around the globe‚ which is culture.

However‚ it may also lead to a country’s own downfall or unfortunate event.
