The ultimate goal of the Buddhist way of life is the attainment of nibbāna or salvation. The body‚ in Buddhism is seen as a composite thing which is thus‚ transient. The Theragāthā‚ written by Buddhist monks and the Therīgāthā‚ written by Buddhist nuns both echo this view. Women‚ in Buddhism‚ were seen as the embodiment of the pleasures of the body – as ones who distract bhikkhus from their path of abstinence and thus‚ bind them down to the world of material things. This‚ coupled with the concept

As aforementioned‚ the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been debated for many years. It has received both adulation and censure. One critique is that the “N-word” should be removed from the novel. Some believe that it is harmful to children and fuels more hatred. However‚ removing the word would be more detrimental than helpful. Removing the “N-word” can teach people that avoiding the issue makes the problem disappear. It completely disregards the child’s right to form their own opinions. Also

The hardest type of change is that which we ask for and deem necessary‚ especially when we feel as though we will not be heard or seen by those we hope to reach; when we are the minority or the oppressed. It takes an immense strength and will to make that type of change happen‚ but it only takes one person to start it. The amazing thing is that seeing the power of one stand up to the majority sparks others to have the power and courage to do so as well. This spark‚ spreading like fire is not easily

Language and how we communicate is an intricate system‚ made up of rules and processes that ultimately affect the delivery of meaning amongst a group of people (Fellowes & Oakley‚ 2014‚ p. 32). This system can be broken down into five areas that are; phonology‚ lexis‚ orthography‚ semantic and syntax (Gardener‚ 2017a). Therefore‚ as this system’s taught‚ the development of language should evolve (Fellowes & Oakley‚ 2014). The syntax is an important area of this complex system and comprises of

Abstract This experiment investigated the kinetics of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase b which is important to metabolism. AMP is an allosteric activator of the enzyme because it converts glycogen phosphorylase b from its T state to the R state which is the active form. Caffeine is an inhibitor because it binds the nucleoside inhibitor site. When it binds this site‚ it stabilizes the inactive T state and blocks the catalytic site which needs to be open for enzyme activity to occur. The glycogen
