philosophical problems, while also solving problems that language generates itself. Language is the bridge that links the mind and the world. Therefore, it is important to understand how it works in order to know the nature of meaning, express our ideas, our thoughts and ourselves. Thomas Hobbes’ discussion of language can be found within the ‘Leviathan’, Chapter IV: Of Speech. Hobbes’ approach towards language was represented in his epigram where he stated, ‘For words are wise men’s…

ability to write a long paper. Looking back at my posts, I am able to see how well they helped me develop tools. On many of the posts I could have used the tag, focus, because all of them helped me to focus down my ideas and use the surrounding information I had to further develop my idea. However, I only included that tag on posts that I thought really provided me with critical tools. One of the post I tagged with this certain tag was the one about the organ sales essay. In this post I was…

understanding and thinking through new and different ideas and possibilities. When it comes to the speech “You are not Special” by David McCullogh Jr. there is a need to look over things critically. The speech itself may seem one sided, but as with almost anything, there are two ways of looking at it. When looking critically at the speech there are more things to be learned and ideas to understand. In critical thinking, it helps to think of others ideas and the way they would think of things.…

He hides under the idea that he refuses to become how his deceivers wish to see him, and although that may be true, he is also acting as a deceiver to himself. This is presented in Ayers ‘Cogito Ergo Sum’ “For I must exist in order even to conceive that I do not. And so,…

Through three people, different ideas of success are conveyed. Malcolm Gladwell, author of the Outliers and Blink.. Paul Tough, an editor of The New York Times and author of How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character..

“Truth only reveals itself when one gives up all preconceived ideas.” -Shoseki. When we grow up being reinforced the same ideas we often become blinded of the truth. The conceptions we develop throughout our lifespan can be about certain people, beliefs, customs, or even government policies. Everyone develops preconceived notions, it is something inevitable. But what separates people is their ability to resist to act on these thoughts regardless of how strong they may be. Certain ideologies have…

Every writer has strengths and weaknesses that make their writing uniquely their own. The strengths are points of pride, the weaknesses are constantly worked on to slowly strengthen and reinforce them to make the writing even better. I believe that my greatest strengths as a writer are my ability to follow through with my thesis and organize my writing in a logical way that improves readability; my biggest weaknesses as a writer are proofreading and planning in advance. As with most things, my…

vast experience in dealing with people’s psycho-spiritual issues from a Christian point of view (Hawkins & Clinton, 2015 p.6). Through their noble ideas, the professors seek to guide their reads through the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives, under the influence of God’s word and in a manner that is supportive of the accountability ideas of the entire community. The authors seek to elucidate to the masses the concepts of God’s hope,…

enforcing these habits or in other words something that should be common sense would help us move forward as one. Although this seems like such a simple idea many people have never been able to grasp it. Another topic that Locke talked about was private property which I think is a good concept to bring up for the island. Although I like the idea the way he conceptualizes it I think is wrong. Private property shouldn’t have limits to how much you can own. I think the only good point he brought up…
