Collision Theory The theory proposes that molecules must collide in a particular way with a certain amount of energy to ultimately form a new product. This is because only a select portion of molecules during a reaction have enough energy and the correct orientation to break any existing bonds to form new ones at the moment of impact with other reactants. The very minimum amount of energy needed for this process to occur is referred to as activation energy. Collision theory explains why reaction

Introduction In this critical response‚ I will consider Armstrong’s materialist account of mind‚ and then I will argue the short-comings of the theories of behaviorism and science in accounting for the nature of mind in relation to Armstrong’s original perspective of what the mind is. Background In order to discuss Armstrong’s theories‚ we must first introduce ourselves to the fundamental base of his claims‚ which is the Doctrine of Science.

there is no greater question or importance than the relationship between the state and that of an individual. John Rawls directly addresses the issue in his famous work “A Theory of Justice”‚ in which he offers a comprehensive argument for an active welfare state. Rawls offers a framework based in the context of social contract theory that appears both logical and egalitarian; his conclusions appeal to both intuition and reason almost undeniably. This essay will discuss that Rawls principles conflict

the types of attribution someone makes when they appraise a person’s behaviour. How may bias occur in their reasoning particularly if they have a very different background to the person they observe?
