Analysis of Nagel ’s "subjective character experience ’ and scientific explanation of consciousness. In "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?"[1]‚ Thomas Nagel offers a challenge to reductionist accounts of mind by highlighting what he calls "the subjective character of experience". In this paper I will be describing what Nagel meant by the term "subjective character experience" as well as provide a breakdown of his famous example of "what it is like to be a bat?". I will also be focusing on the

Relative Rewards within Team-Based Compensation BERND IRLENBUSCH and GABRIELE K. RUCHALA December 2006 Abstract How to design compensation schemes to motivate team members appears to be one of the most challenging problems in the economic analysis of labour provision. We shed light on this issue by experimentally investigating team-based compensations with and without bonuses awarded to the highest contributors in teams. A purely team-based compensation scheme induces agents to voluntarily cooperate

For this lab‚ I decided to focus on relative dating in studying things of the past. I found this the most interesting form to examine. Relative dating doesn’t give one an exact date but can give a good time frame of an artifact. It is used by looking at sequences and layers with regards to the soil for excavating. This is known as stratigraphy (Bahn‚122). It was inspired by geology in looking at layers of soil (Dating Archeology‚ 2016). As an archeologist using this method‚ one would say‚ “the underlying

indefinable. In fact‚ it has been said that "The discovery of truth is the sole purpose of philosophy". Clearly‚ we are in deep water on this topic. Some believe in absolute truth‚ while others believe truth is relative. I believe truth is not absolute when it comes to the names of physical things. Nevertheless‚ I do believe truth is absolute when it comes to moral things. Aside from those‚ I believe that God is absolutely true. First‚ from the time someone is born to their death‚ every human is

Relative Velocity and Riverboat Problems On occasion objects move within a medium that is moving with respect to an observer. For example‚ an airplane usually encounters a wind - air that is moving with respect to an observer on the ground below. As another example‚ a motorboat in a river is moving amidst a river current - water that is moving with respect to an observer on dry land. In such instances as this‚ the magnitude of the velocity of the moving object (whether it be a plane or a motorboat)
