    1. Explain the complexities of proximate cause. - The complexity of proximate cause is determined when the question to how the crime was committed arises. According to Schmalleger F & Hall D (p. 74, 2017),” The complexity of causation can be seen in the 2014 case Paroline v. United States. In this case, the Supreme Court had to determine how to measure the harm which was proximately caused by the possession of child pornography. The statute in question required that restitution be paid by individuals convicted of possession of child pornography for harm proximately caused to the child victims of those crimes.…

    In Leibniz’s writings, Discourse on Metaphysics , he upheld the view that final causes are everywhere and to not notice them, but believe in God is ridiculous. Since as we know, Leibniz believed that God created the best possible world for us. Now getting to my point, I would like to effectively defend Leibniz against Descartes because in his writings, Meditations on First Philosophy , Descartes rejects final causes. First, I will explain what the connection between final causes and efficient causes is and how Leibniz believed it was ignorant of people to study one and judge the other and vice versa. Then I will explain how Descartes rejection of final causation is what created weakness in his argument in meditation 4 .…

    The police disregarded and violated the rights provided to the defender by the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, which requires probable cause before conducting a search or making an arrest. The action behind the defendant’s Reckless Conduct, or the act of walking on CTA property while clutching a bag filled with food during the 4th of July, cannot be considered legitimate evidence for probable’s cause. Probable cause entails more than a mere suspicion, which in this case also showed prejudiced attitudes by the police officers. As if this personal damage of profiling Muhammad as a terrorist because of her traditional Islamic clothing, the police proceeded to sign a complaint charging her with Reckless Conduct. Once again, the police officer’s…

    In this essay, I will be examining the different views pertaining to the cosmological argument for the existence of God as discussed by Bertrand Russell and Fr. Copleston. I will be agreeing with Lord Russell’s views that the cosmological argument has a few inherent problems and contradictions that are difficult to overcome. First, I will look at Russell's assessment on his points of necessary and analytic propositions as well as his belief that Copleston’s argument on contingency is a fallacy of composition. I will then concur with these ideas and offer my thinking as to why this opinion is more convincing than its counterpart.…

    Question 2: In his Aristotle’s Categories, he presents the thesis, “if the primary substances did not exist, neither could any of the other things exist (2b7-8).” By this, Aristotle means that there are two categories of substances--primary substances and secondary substances. Readers must keep in mind, however, that the qualifiers of primary and secondary were only added for clarification purposes. The term I will soon define as primary substances is what Aristotle is referring to when he says substances.…

    Ultimately, since providence is the ultimate and only source of causation – chance lies in direct opposition. Providence precludes the possibility of chance because it essentially presupposes a final cause: ‘In no way can one deny the wondrous traces in the generation of the world, and the parts of the heavens and the parts of the animal and the plants. All that does not proceed (sadara) from chance (ittifàq), but presupposes a certain arrangement (tadbìr)’. (Cited in Belo, 109, Avicenna, Al Shifa, al Ilahiyyat, pg. 415) Despite Avicenna’s work integrating Greek philosophy into Islamic thought, later orthodox Sunnism would completely reject this integration of Greek rationalism and adopt the theological doctrine of occasionalism. Occasionalism denies the possibility of any secondary causality, emphasizing that everything is caused by God and there are no efficient causes in the world.…

    The income you earn or what your parents can be known as the independent variable since you can change how much money you can earn depending on where you work. While the dependent variable would be going to the institution because you will get the chance to be in the school that you want to, but it depends on your SAT’s, grades, and other activities you have done in your high school year. Another independent variable is the major because depending on the classes you take, it can determine the major that you ultimately choose. While gender can be the dependent variable because at times some schools will look if they need more woman than man to attend their institution, so gender can play a role a minor role in applying to different colleges.…

    Four Causes: Aristotle maintains that there are four causes, material, formal, efficient and final, that are responsible for explaining how change occurs in the world. In order to explain how things change, Aristotle argues that all four of these causes must be applied to the change that occurs (56, 197b25). Therefore, Aristotle claims that these four causes explain how things come to be. The first cause, the material cause, is essentially what the thing is made out of, or the raw materials that constitute that thing (48, 194b25).…
