Hannah Pittard is compelling as she gives out different scenarios on how a girl goes missing through the eyes of obsessive high school boys. Along the way, you are introduced to the personalities and lives of each of these boys. Pittard as a knack for using first person plural to distinguish the perception all of the…

A remarkable degree of concern has been expressed about level of voter turnout in democracies. Many behavioral level theories, more specifically rational choice theory is unsuccessful in explaining voter turnout. Indeed, “the instrument voter axiom predicts large-scale abstention because no individual is likely to have an influence on the election outcome” (Downs, 1957). However, international election results demonstrate that a large number of people do turn out to cast their vote, although…

Throughout literature and film we come across many different types of dystopias. Some that we have all seen or read that you would not even notice the dystopian qualities it consists of. The few I have found are Fahrenheit 451 and The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, 1984 by George Orwell, and WALL-E made by Disney. All of these sources do infact connect in one way, they are dystopias, I link 1984 and WALL-E together, many believe that WALL-E is not a dystopian film but many things point to it…

the learner must be able to differentiate one figure from another. To compare figures and establish that one is congruent to the other or not, the student pulls on an understanding of shapes. To prove congruence, the student makes connections with axioms, properties, analysis, and logic. The study of congruence progresses through the five Van Hiele levels, from recognition of shape to using axiomatic systems within systems. By working with the concept of congruence, the teacher can develop…

delude oneself into believing that he is behaving morally. 3. Screwtape identifies monogamy or abstention as the “dilemma” God has placed humans in regarding sexual behavior. 4. According to Screwtape, the “whole philosophy of Hell” depends on the “axiom” that one thing is not another thing, and that oneself is not another self. Screwtape thinks God’s idea of love is impossible because he thinks it is a disguise for a different motive. Analysis: 5. Marriage can be an obstacle to faith if a…

The mystery of what embodies "knowledge" is as old as philosophy itself. The Gettier Problem, refuting the JTB (justified true belief) account, has been a historical and on-going debate in the epistemological field. In simplistic terms, knowledge is understood as an awareness or understanding of something, such as facts, information, descriptions or skills, which are acquired through experience, perceiving, discovering, learning or intuiting. Consequently, truth is understood as a verified or…

born shall harm Macbeth” (IV. i. 91-92). The message gives Macbeth confidence that he is indefatigable. However improbable, at this point a reader acquainted with occasional plot predictability is certain knowledge of a character that evades this axiom will materialize in time. The fact that a baby informs Macbeth of this serves to parallel the idea of the inherited monarchy, that progeny will potentially take the throne, and possibly seal the fate of Macbeth. The current king tries to eliminate…

words, the expression refers to the presenter slowly killing - metaphorically speaking - the audience by presenting lackluster, lengthy, and /or unorganized information. From a personal perspective, in addition to the text book interpretation, the axiom - Death by PowerPoint - relates to the feeling the presenter experiences – as the individual senses that he or she is approaching death as a result of the stressful conditions and the need to do well in fear of being criticized. The intended…

As Christians, it is of utmost importance that we thoughtfully study how we know what we know. In order to be able to give proper defense of our faith, we must be able to articulate why we believe what we believe, rather than absentmindedly resigning to our Christian worldview. This articulation of our beliefs is essential within the bounds of our respective fields as we often fail to recognize the underlying philosophical natures in the disciplines to which we devote the most time. Therefore, I…
