The logic-what role does logic play in your everyday life? Does it include common sense? Who decides if “something” is logical or not?

As you might think in answering these few basic questions‚ logic plays a role in almost everything we do; but logic is not always common sense or easily attained. Sometimes we’re going to have to hunt and seek to attain the imprecise logic we pursue

Just having a criminal off the street is enough justice for me‚ but locking one up and “throwing away the key” will not make them better; it will probably not change them at all and eventually make their situation worse. Convicted felons need a plan of treatment. First‚ they need to realize what they have done was wrong. Next‚ they need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. Finally‚ they need to have a plan for rehabilitation so they do not recidivate. The criminal justice system

Why do you think the thief was an outcast? Suggest reasons why his fingers had been cut away. Why do you think the thief responds to the boy by surrendering?

The thief was an outcast because he was by himself without anything but the butcher knife and the clothes on his back.

What exactly does religion do for us? Sure‚ it’s a nice concept that makes one believe in other worldly things. Spirits and angels flood the heads of many children whose parents partake in the average slice and dice of Catholic smorgasbords‚ but what does it do for their souls? Are they all just workaholics who need a reason to be the way they are‚ or are they monsters merely extending a strange and open façade in order to gain acceptance in the afterlife? All the same‚ religion does have its effect

What Do You Really Want from Us? 你们究竟要我们如何做才能满意？ When we were the Sick Man of Asia‚ we were called The Yellow Peril.

When we embrace Free Trade‚ You blame us for taking away your jobs. 以往我们闭关锁国，你们走私鸦片来强行打开我们的国门， 现在我们拥有自由贸易了，你们又责骂我们抢走了你们的饭碗。 When we were falling apart‚ You marched in your troops and

What makes us good citizens? It is hard to answer that question because every person can think about different definition of a good citizen. Many can call themselves good citizens just because they work‚ pay taxes and obey law. But is it enough? Not for everyone. Good citizens do not serve their own interest but rather understand that their deeds affect the world around them. They serve their families‚ friends and others in need without prejudice and selfishness. They care about the condition of

To the most extent I do not agree that the witches are the most unsettling example of the supernatural in Macbeth. There are other factors within the play such as the ambition of Macbeth and the wickedness of Lady Macbeth that cast an eerie and shocking atmosphere over the play. The reason I believe this to be the case because as part of a modern society‚ we have a lot more psychological horrors‚ and both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are considered to be insane. Whereas witches are seen more as a fantasy

Why should Christmas be banned? My mother always makes a point in making sure I know never to lie to her. But that made me think‚ is it right for her to lie to me for the first 9 years of my life? Tricking children into behaving well in order to receive presents. Isn’t that bribery? Parents say that you should never lie and always tell the truth‚ but the way I see it is‚ they have gone against their word and become a hypocrite. On the other hand they could be enhancing enjoyment. But I know

It will be helpful to first examine what is understood by the term "language play". Used experimentally‚ language is inextricably connected to play. It is intrinsically symbolic‚ adventurous‚ informative‚ and dynamic. As Marian Whitehead writes‚ "Language and play share several characteristics: both use symbols to stand for a range of ideas‚ feelings and experiences; both are reflections of human thinking and also creators of new thoughts; both are part of our genetic make-up."
