Dualism

Abstract In this essay I will be arguing about the patient not having any mental states. This starts off by summarizing and going into explanatory detail the argument of Type-Identity Theory held by doctor number one, and an artificial intelligence held by doctor number two, and why they do not make sense. This therefor leads the conclusion of rejecting the patient’s efficiency of mental states, in the view of acknowledgement of a type of functionalism more suitable than the perspectives spoke…

Paul’s letter to the church in Roman is quite a fascinating document especially when you take into consideration the continuity of the text. It is easy to forget that when the letter was first written, it was not written in chapter/verse format.

The premise of doubt is found in the weakness of human sensory perception to see the truth outside of bodily functions, especially with the use of the human brain. Therefore, the foundation of doubt is based on the inability of the body to reconcile the mental processes or the…

We all inherit some or most of our behavior traits from our parents and ancestors. If our parents suffered from addictions or disabilities, it is likely that we will endure the same misfortunes. Also, if our parents have short tempers, emotional break downs, or anxiety attacks when upset or under pressure, it is possible that we will react in the same way when upset or under pressure. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Culture can affect how patient’s behavior based on how they were…

As in many religions, there is a presence of an afterlife. The…

Her perky alert nipples stand hard like two pink Bisoprolol pills. Her Kawaii shaped viridian eyes will end up staring at me with a concurrent void of intimacy and distance, when it's time to Man yoghurt on her phizog. Her Cupid- bow lips joined by ridges of a defined philtrum, which I'm intimately acquainted with by all measures of fellatio, although never shared a husband's peck that's systematically planted on a wife's ever increasing flabby cheek; when leaving for the good-old nine to five.…

The influence of America’s Puritan legacy is one full of black and white dualism that continues to restrict people in the present day. The intolerance and toxicity of Puritan culture has directly established restrictive (double) standards over minority groups. The White Man has a long legacy of controlling women and racial minorities…
