He writes about the causes of the war and he looks at previous wars such as the Trojan War and correlates their abilities and impact with the war between Athens and Sparta. Thucydides believed that the…

Energy is the ability to work, more, or elicit change in matter. Energy cannot be formed or impaired; it’s always preserved. Potential energy is a kind of spared energy that objects have because of their position or configuration. Energy comes in many forms, and can be converted from one form to another. Kinetic energy is energy of mass in motion, and the formula is E=1/2mv^2. The most important property of kinetic energy in the ability to do work, and it can be transferred from one body to…

Deception and misinformation play an important role during Thucydides’ account of the Sicilian Expedition. In reality, the whole expedition which leads to deception and destruction, could have been avoided if the Athenian Assembly had listened to Nicias’s plea. Sicily was indeed too far away to be subdued permanently, and the current state of Athens was more important. Many other Greek city states were looking for their opportunity to attack Athens, and this event would only weaken the empire…

(Watson & Rayner 1920). So the next attempt was when Albert was exposed to a rat, Watson made a loud noise by hitting a metal pipe with a hammer. Naturally, Albert began to cry after hearing…

Can moral agents do what stands in their own self-interest and still perform with a voluntary spirit? Lori A. Brainard and Patricia D. Siplon, in their work, Toward Nonprofit Organization Reform in The Voluntary Spirit quoted Richard Bush, as he cautioned, “that one of the biggest challenges facing organizations in the sector was how to retain their “nonprofit spirit in a for profit world.” Accordingly, in your discussion board submission, you separated “a different value and mode of using…

Akasha is the word we use to mean the Element of Spirit. The are five Elements used in magic, Air, Fire, Water, Earth and Spirit or Akasha which is the combination of the other four Elements.

Akasha is the source of all energy, energy that has not yet taken form or substance. Akasha is energy without form. To me Akasha means the spirit or universal force which is the base…

One rat was allowed to move freely while the other was restrained, but could be released if the other rat pushed the button to do so. As no one expected, the rat freed his companion rather than keeping the treat all for himself. There is much debate on if animals have feelings and if they contain the amount of…
