themselves and that they ought to pursue their own ends exclusively. An ethical egoist would say that one has no duty to help others in need unless doing so happens to coincide with one's own needs. Because ethical egoism prescribes actions, it is distinct from psychological egoism (discussed in the previous selection by Joel Feinberg), which is a descriptive claim about the nature of people's motivations.Rachels provides several arguments both for and against ethical egoism. The first argument…

The study of God gives humans the answer to questions such as why are we here, how did we get here, and what is our purpose. When talking about theology there are a lot of aspects that need to be considered. The way different people define, practice, and apply theology varies from on theologian to the next. The difference from one theologian to another is modeled by two theologians Karl Barth and…

of the presynaptic nerve ending.1,3,5,6 The etiology of LEMS is decreased exocytosis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from presynaptic neurons into the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) caused by autoantibodies attacking VGCCs.3,7.10 There are two distinct groups of LEMS patients: those with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and those without SCLC. SCLS is the cause of LEMS in about 50% of SCLS-LEMS patients and treatment for these patients with the underlying paraneoplastic malignancy is cancer…

religion; making giving ‘Religion’ a strict objective definition impossible. Simply because of the strong differences between what is seen as religious between indigenous people and western Christian scholars, it would be like trying to define two distinct and separate objects under one label. Finally it is clear that the absolutist definition of God carries little credit. The only evidence that ‘Religion’ is based on moral obligations to the creator, is the scriptures in the bible such as…

introduce Leibniz’s Law, which is a doctrine that states that if two entities do not share the same properties, they can be said to be distinct. Following that doctrine, micro and macro are clearly different entities, seeing as they differ in methods of description, appearance and several other factors. Because they are distinct, one can say that they have distinct causal powers. In light of macro-objects having causal powers, they must be said to exist, according to Alexander’s Dictum, which…

Many Evolutionist claim that there is enough evidence to prove that there isn 't a creator. The evolutionist has the script flipped. There is enough evidence to prove that there is a…

are numerous. Several biological factors that influence the movement include the preference towards a resource, the presence of home range or the escape from preying. There is an extensive amount of work in mathematical biology about the effects of distinct behaviours on animal dispersal. How spatial memory influences the redistribution or the impact of the resource depletion in the population search for food and even the living circumstances for example. The existence of different behaviours…

Malingering is related in some ways to somatoform disorders and factitious disorders. However, there are also distinct differences. A patient with a factitious disorder like Munchausen’s, does not pretend to be sick in order to get drugs, money or disability. They lie, exaggerate and actually make themselves genuinely ill in order to be a patient. According to (Conroy, 2006) a person who is malingering is behaving intentionally, which means it is done with conscious awareness. Therefore,…
