Within Modern society there is a large trend towards consumerism and a wasteful behaviour of spending and reckless advancement in technology only for leisure purposes. David Suzuki in his essay titled “It Always Costs,” not only lays out the facts about the damage that reckless advancement has on Earth, but also outlines some methods of testing and caution that should be put into practice for the benefit of humanity.

When it comes to Nicholas of Cusa and Rene Descartes and their ideas of the infinite, the differences are many while the similarities are few. Nicholas of Cusa, who lived from 1401 to 1464, recognized the open-ended, positive aspect of nature which later led him to view the infinite as a never-ending circle; a changing and developing circle that is. In contrast, Rene Descartes, who lived from 1596 to 1650, struggled with trusting whether or not the world even exists outside of the private ego—to…

He believed that labour and productivity was greatly inefficient because the majority of the labour pool functioned according to the “rules of thumb’. He proposed to replace the traditional “rule of thumb” by factual scientific knowledge. Taylor’s theory was a great improvement in the traditional approach to the management process. In the modern-day workplace with elevated level of…

Makes Public Administration a Science? Or, Are Its “Big Questions” Really Big”, Francis S. Neumann (1996) discusses flawed research questions posed by Robert Behn (1995) in his essay, “The Big Questions of Public Management”, where Behn (1995) identified three major subject areas, micromanagement, motivation, and achievement measurement, to be addressed in the field of public administration research for it to be aligned as a science, as he stated “any field of science is defined by the big…

As humans, we may think that our mind is our own personal space; that we have our own unique ideas,behavior and thoughts.In fact, that is contradicted by the existence of memes. As a matter fact, our ideas have their individual representative that evolution has over time copied into other human brains. As a result that is what makes us different from animals and even technology; our ability to have memes control us as Susan Blackmore explains in her essay “Strange Creatures”. For instance, Susan…

The process of discovery enlightens and educates individuals with fresh, meaningful ideals about the physical and spiritual world, whilst also reshaping an individual’s perspectives of the world, themselves and others. Two texts which explore this dynamic of discovery is Simon Nasht’s documentary Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History (2004) and Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner (2003). Nasht’s documentary uses Frank Hurley’s expedition into the Antarctic as a vehicle to convey one’s…

After researching the topic of the Loch Ness Monster, I do not believe in this legend based off scientific studies and using common logic. First off connecting the details of the lake it could not support an animal of that caliber for this long. After all the extensive hours of research and looking for this animal, plus the money put into this, not one monster has been found. Humans have an incredible use of the brain called pareidola. Last, this monster is still a legend for the main reason of…
