As humans, we see the world out of a particular set of lenses. Those lenses are a type of mental mode that shapes our reality. This reality consist of a certain framework that incorporates our attitudes and ideas…

“The Husband’s Message” is a tale recounted by a wooden rune-staff that has runes inscribed on it. It tells the story of a man forced to leave his homeland and after time he is able to send an encoded message to his wife requesting her to join him. The poem alludes to the origin of the rune-staff in which carries the message to the wife but exemplifies the failure of communication as she does not understand the runes carved into the staff. The incomprehensible message thus presents the text as a…

Foreign policy is often analyzed through seemingly competitive lenses. On the one hand, idealism seeks to understand the motivations of and the cultural context in which foreign policy makers carry out decisions. On the other hand, realism portrays states as unified actors, relentlessly and rationally pursuing their own security interests.

Introduction Strong representationalism (SR) is the view that intentionality alone is sufficient in defining the characteristics of sensory experiences (qualia). Intentionality in this case is understood as representation, of which can exhibit functional or physical properties. Sensory experiences must thus always be about something for SR, regardless of the subject’s awareness of it.

It is inarguably true that the mention of word racism sets some hearts thumping in fury, and shivers running down the spines of others. These extreme emotional responses make the thorough discussion of racism an arduous task but its adverse effect on health compels us to open this chapter for dialogue. Racism, according to Link and Phelan is a fundamental cause that puts people at ‘risk of risks’ of adverse health events(1). Geronimus buttresses this assertion by hypothesizing the biological…

Compounds don’t have symbols but they have formulas. Germanium hydride’s formula is GeH4. The 4 represents the subscript. A subscript is how many parts it is, so Germanium hydride is 4 parts hydrogen and 1 part Germanium. The uses for germanium are camera lenses, semiconductors, fluorescent lamps, and alloys. Germanium has a total of twenty five isotopes and only five are stable. Germanium’s compounds can cause pain and redness to eyes and skin. The gas form of germanium is heavier then air and…

For this reason, Creach justifies violence as a tool for God’s purpose alone. “If Scripture declared only that God shows compassion but did not also declare that God is involved in vengeance, it would then portray God as inept in expressing compassion in concrete ways.” While it may seem as if God’s nature of vengeance is contradictory to His nature of compassion, the two qualities actually go hand in hand. “God acts destructively in order to restore or preserve the order God intends; that…
