Based on my reading of Hasker (1983)‚ I believe the view of the mind or body problem that was exhibited by Piccard in the synopsis from Star Trek: The Next Generation was the Dualism view. Picard stated that‚ “Data has rights among them the right to refuse to undergo an experimental procedure such as this.” Here‚ Picard ascribes both physical and mental attributes to the robot (Data). This view correlates to Hasker (1983) statement that‚ “Dualism begins by taking quite seriously the fact that human

program has developed two methods in order to measure both women’s development as well as women’s empowerment. The two conceptual indexes that measure women’s development and their empowerment are the GDI and the GEM indexes. I do not believe that these indexes are accurate because they operate under a system of classification developed by the UNDP of levels subjective to only high‚ medium and low human development; unfairly this resulted in extremely low measures for Arab countries.

took for the frogs’ leg to twitch. Helmholtz used a galvanometer to measure the neural impulse. He found that the neural impulse in frogs was 83-90 ft/s. Afterwards‚ Helmholtz went on to test the neural impulse in humans. He put a low grade electrical voltage to humans’ legs and measured the time it took for his participants to press the button (meaning they felt the voltage). He found that the neural impulse in humans was 165-300 ft/s. His results showed that even though neural impulses seem instantaneous

Since it’s called as a ‘sustainable consumption’ measure‚ it’s incorrect because in any case‚ sustainable consumption per head is not the same as wellbeing. It is NOT wellbeing. o High GDP means high level of government expenditure or consumption which also initiate low level of saving. Low level of saving and/or high population growth condemn a country to a low GDP/head in the long run (unless there is a TFP growth). Is GDP a Perfect Measure of Living Standards?
