    Self-rule and independence may seem quite similar, or even the same, at first glance; however, I believe them to be two different things. With the support of Descartes’ Discourse on Method, it is evident that Descartes also agrees that self-rule and independence are quite different: one implies ignorance, while the other implies a knowledge and understanding of principles. I believe that Descartes agrees with the argument that independence implies ignorance and self-rule is knowing certain principles for oneself, based on his own experiences; however, based on my own experiences, I believe there to be two versions of independence, a good and a pure and complete one.

I hope I have the mental fortitude to change my study habit, but knowing myself that isn’t going to happen.

    Although we have lot of diverse clients come through our facility, I have not experienced a client who does not speak the English language.

Analyzing the case study you are quickly led to…
