Understanding Dreams: Every single human on the earth has experienced dreams, but not even the smartest people on earth can uncover what the true purpose of a dream is. The way that the human brain works is extraordinary and one of the many talents it has is making people see their own little movies every month, week, or day. Everyone dreams, but what do dreams actually mean? Are peoples dreams their deepest inner problems that bother them the most, and only at night, or are dreams just silly…

I beleive that the search of meaning and fulfilment is found only in God. Using the Judeo-Christian understanding of God I would agree that philosophers and like Aristole and Plato, have works without the sacred texts and prophets to assess what they beleive about life and the mind/body problem, however I beleive mans understanding would be different than Gods understanding. Humans are attractive by nature to evil/sinful ways instead of good and righteousness. This is best understood by the pear…

For many centuries the rule of law developed into a fundamental principle in United Kingdom’s unwritten constitution. It become the core for essential rules and values of the legal system. The concept was significant since it was able to provide stability and equality in the state. The idea has firstly appeared in ancient times, however it came meaningful later in history.

Euthyphro is a play about his definition and understanding of holiness, but it is soley based on what Euthyphro knows and how he interprets the gods’ definition. There is no way of deciphering a true definition of holiness because one may agree with the gods, on what is just and unjust, but one may also disagree according to specific conditions. Euthyphro attempts to convict his own father of murder not because the gods wanted him to, but because he believed convicting his father was morally…

Coming into the class I expected to discuss the different religions of the world and the perspectives of the followers. In the class we…

In John Berger’s book Understanding a Photograph, he argues that there is a distinct discontinuity between an individual viewing a photo, and the actual photo. A picture solely preserves a single moment in time, and while they often act to tell a story, the medium cannot be fully interpreted without knowing the story that surrounds it. Although there is a definite connection between a photograph and the narrative that corresponds with it, the photo is only a visual aid for the story; it does not…

age of the child. From infants to age 3 children do not fully understand death. They may understand that person is not ever going to come around again, but not to the point of understanding the true meaning of death. Age 4 to 6 may understand about dying and the person is no longer alive, but may not have a full understanding what happens to a person after death. I do however feel this may be different if a child is raised within the Church. When children and raised knowing about God and has…
