Idea of Progress

Self Discovery in Solitude It is true that a picture holds a thousand words but sometimes one thousand words is too many, and it is more meaningful to be able to express your thoughts within a few hundred or less words. In the past week I have been writing a half/full page journal entry each night about what it means to be alone. During this process I realized that my time spent alone was minimal. This is unfortunate because spending time in solitude for self discovery and creative thinking is…

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…

First, it’s unnoticeable. Then it becomes more and more obvious as you go on. The barber was sharpening the blades on the strop when the captain entered. He creates a mental picture of the enemy’s neck, throat, veins... “An enemy under ones roof,” “taking pains to see that no single pore emitted a drop of blood,” “Bit by bit, the skin emerged.” The author is making his lust for the open skin on the captain’s neck, showing his strength towards himself to not make it bleed. This foreshadowing is…

An ethical dilemma that I have faced in my life is when I was in a car accident. We were all under the influence of marijuana and four kids had died. So detectives had got involved, and they asked us questions such as were we under the influence or where did we go before the accident. I was in a tough predicament for myself, because the kids who survived said that we wouldn’t tell them anything except our basic information. It was either lie to protect my friends or tell the truth because it was…

Initially I was not sure how they would be able to realistically implement all of their ideas into one tent; this approach is very different than ours where we only had two animals. They somehow were able to put all of their ideas into one application. I also thought it was very smart to focus on phase change materials for DP3. I also fill like because of their numerus animals they were able to pick the perfect…

Well it came out that during one of these conversations the two decided it would be a good idea to talk shit about everyone they did not like. I was told my name came up and I assumed it was by the male party because I thought there was no way “ my girl” Angie would say anything about me. I was incorrect. What she said is not really the point…

Does Strength Training Build You Up or Pull You Down? What is an aspect of caring for our bodies which is often overlooked? This is one of the first questions I took into consideration when thinking about health and fitness, and the conclusion I ironically came to was strength training. The reason this is ironic is because, to some this might seem like an obvious part of fitness when it comes to trying to improve a person’s body overall, but what I quickly discover through research is…

Concepts are not mental images, but not word like entities either. Concepts are mental representations. The dictionary refers to a concept as a general idea or notion that corresponds to some class of entities that consist of characteristics or essential features of class .
