One of the main things that Kafka uses the absurd to explore is the life of working people. When Gregor first wakes up and he realizes that he is infact a bug, He 's not terribly concerned by it. He is infact more concerned by the fact that he is late for work that that…

which means virtue cannot be taught. Then I will demonstrate why Socrates’s reasoning is false due to a missed detail in his argument. I conclude Socrates’s reasoning behind his arguments are mostly logical and sound, however he made the mistake of forgetting to mention an important detail that is detrimental to his argument. Socrates claims that virtue cannot be taught because there are no teachers of virtue at 96c-d due to various leaps of logic and reason. To explain these reasons, I will…

After reading Roxana’s vignette, it is apparent that she has dissociative amnesia, with possible dissociative fugue (XXXX; XXXX). Roxana symptoms that she presents in the vignette are trouble remembering events, loss of recollection of several days, inflated confidence when retroactively determined that she was in a dissociative state, followed by a markedly dazed state following coming out of the dissociative state. She also presents feelings of being “old”, cultural and familial stressors, as…

What you need to forget are your past sins and bad things others have done to you. If you do not forget these thoughts, they will hold you back and even cause you to live a miserable life. Paul, one of the outstanding figures in the New Testament says in Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not…

Part One: The key behavior that I wish to change to improve my health is to eat more healthy. This doesn't just include cutting out junk food or eating more vegetables, for me this also includes actually remembering to eat. I have a bad habit of forgetting to eat when I am really busy with schoolwork or stressing out over mundane problems. The reason I am choosing to highlight this behavior is because since this quarter I am taking more classes than I normally do which means I get so busy with…

It seemed as if Voltaire despised religious intolerance disdained it. His works seem to suggest that religious groups should be more accepting to other religious groups or the lack there of. For example in his piece “the ignorant philosopher” he argues that the many deaths and executions of many victims were unjust and unfair. His overall stance on religious intolerance is interesting because these ideas during that time almost humanitarian but why did so many oppose or reject these viewpoints…
