Axiom

While upon first glance her corpus seems to be filled with elementary age written material- one word titles such as “Poppies”, “Ponds”, and “Daisies”, and seemingly undersized poems- Mary Oliver’s sharp observation of the natural world and all it’s inhabitants allows her to transcend and creatively tackle some of the toughest topics to pen, such as death and the meaning of life, in a way that allows readers of every age to grapple with and discern her conclusions. Many of her poems captured in…

creativity a part of my life – progressed from its incipient stage to an idea I was considering more seriously. This course helped me articulate how ostensibly diametrical branches of knowledge, Philosophy and Mathematics, stem from the same principles and axioms. It sparked my interest in Computer Science, as I came to realize that it was quite complementary to what I was learning in class. I was familiarized with the concept of algorithms, computational logic, and realized that programming,…

The process of starting from a simple set of axioms and deriving almost any mathematical truth (putting Godel to one side) is what truly separates Mathematics from any other subject... Mathematics/ Actuarial Science personal statement Mathematics is not just a mere subject but a universal language…

Though most of Plato's Republic is dedicated to finding ultimate truth via the Forms and establishing the utopia Kallipolis, Plato also explores the importance of falsehood and deception as necessary to constructing an ideal city. Through Socrates, Plato explains the difference between his concept of a true or pure falsehood and of a noble falsehood or a “falsehood of words”: I simply mean that to be false to one's soul about the things are, to be ignorant and to have and hold falsehood there,…

“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever”. George Orwell’s Nineteen-Eighty-Four (1984) may appear to be merely a classic work of dystopian fiction, but as we delve deeper into the purpose and presentation of the text, we begin to appreciate the clear didacticism adopted by the author. 1984 goes beyond simplistic ideas to give a presentation of the future that is dominated by cynical fatalism. Orwell’s entirely pessimistic approach to human potential…

Question 1 Power Distance: using the wrong power distance management can lead to a huge negative influence on productivity and speed. Especially in this fast-paced economic, speed means everything. Therefore, leaders need to understand what industry he is managing and the culture background of employees before giving direction or command. Uncertainty avoidance: giving uncertainty to to unsuitable employees can put employees in a very uncomfortable place. If leaders do not handle this carefully…

Building upon his two basic axioms, Einstein realized the bending of space and time occurs not between two distinct entities changing, but one integrated dimension shifting. This warping of traditional dimensions allows for fresh interpretation of traditional ideas. Treating space…

A social network is a social structure made up of a set of social actors (such as individuals or organizations), sets of dyadic ties, and other social interactions between actors. The social network perspective provides a set of methods for analyzing the structure of whole social entities as well as a variety of theories explaining the patterns observed in these structures.[1] The study of these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential…

Written shortly after the Second World War and a global rise in fascism, 1984 is an embodiment of various warnings and historical themes. However, these notions merely represent the very surface of George Orwell’s social and political messages. For, he does not simply demonstrate the injustice of absolute tyranny, - which is pretty much granted - but also demonstrates reasons as to how such a system can exist, and thus, how it may be defeated. Moreover, Orwell’s multiple messages must be…

Wall-e is a new, dare say one of the best upcoming roller coasters and it is based off of the sensational movie Wall-e made by Disney’s Pixar! In the movie, the plot takes place in 2805 where humans have abandoned Earth on the account of it was not in the ideal shape for humankind to survive in. Therefore, humans left robots to clean up the mess they had made where after some time, the Earth became habitable once more. Mankind had been sending extraterrestrial vegetation evaluators or EVE to…
