Canker sores are often mistaken for cold sores because they look similar. However, aside from the pain that is created by these canker and cold sores they are not the same thing. A canker sore has no known cause, therefore, it is difficult to prevent against it. You can typically find canker sores inside of your mouth, especially on your tongue and gums. This makes it difficult to eat and drink without feeling any pain. While canker sores typically disappear after a few days, dealing with the…

The most important factor that caused the derailment of the train is, when Lac-Megantic was testing its mandatory hand brakes test, the hand brakes and air brakes were left together, so during the test, the freight train were held by the hand brakes and air brakes, which gave the impression that the train was held only by the hand brakes, so the engineer and the rail traffic controller thought that the train was secure. Before the accident, the locomotive was reviewed by MMA’s repair shop eight…

Brent Knutzen Dr. Evangelist PHL-150 24 April 2015 Free will Free will is the ability to act using one’s own discretion. Since the beginnings of philosophical thought, philosophers have had consistent debate and discussion as to whether or not we have free will, and if we do, to what extent. Free will is a characteristic that most assume to be an innate trait of all humans. However, after further reflection of the idea, it is difficult to decipher what decisions are made based upon free will,…

In Thomas Aquinas, 5 ways to prove the existence of God, I will look his second way “Efficient Cause.” In this proof, Aquinas states that everything is caused or created by other things. He states that every effect has a cause and that cause is an effect of another cause, and so on and so forth. An example to help explain his argument is a coffee table. The creator of a coffee table is the builder or the carpenter. (The cause is the carpenter and the effect was the coffee table). The parents…

In this paper, I am going to argue that Galen Strawson is wrong when he claims that we cannot be ultimately morally responsible for our actions. The basis of Strawson’s argument conveys that nothing can be the cause of itself and for one to be responsible for one’s actions then, they have to be the cause of themselves. In other words, what Strawson is saying is that you act because of the way you are. So, he says to be morally responsible for one’s action then, one must be responsible for…

Have you ever dealt with dry, itchy eyes? They may sting, or feel gritty or overly sensitive. This is a common condition that affects as many as one in three people. Also known as keratitis sicca or xerophthalmia, dry eyes can result when tear fluid is produced too slowly or evaporates too quickly. While it’s common to ease discomfort in the obvious way — by adding more fluid to the eyes in the form of eye drops — it’s important to investigate what’s behind this seemingly simple, yet…

Philosophers have argued the assumption whether people have their own freedom to make decisions. In effect, Ayer suggested that people don’t have free will when influenced by constraints. In addition, Ayer defines free will as being able to choose otherwise. However, people don’t have freedom if there threaten or an addict. I agree with Ayer’s claim that people don’t have free will when under constraints which cause people to make decisions. In the first place, some constraints are…

Free will. A concept about the ability to make choices for oneself. If a person has free will, then one could have done the other option. This notion has philosophers arguing about the existence of free will. There are philosophers like Machan who believes a person are able to cause their actions, while others believe it is determine by something else. A philosopher named Blatchford is part of the hard determinism family where he denies the existence of free will because of two things— heredity…
