After hearing what Simmias comes up with, the men in the room fall into a state of sadness because they feel as though Socrates hypothesis has been disproven. But like always their mentor, Socrates, has a rebuttal towards Simmias. He recalls his discussion with them about the theory of recollection and asks if they still agree with him about its credibility. Simmias as well as others in the room agree that the theory is well grounded and a credible hypothesis because it is based on the theory…
According to the Library of Cornell University an annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Annotations may summarize the source. Summarizing may include reviewing what the man arguments are and what the point of the article or…
Based on Descartes, there are two types of admiration: “”sudden surprise,” i.e., an unexpected feeling caused by the perception of some new or unknown object; on the other hand, it can mean “veneration” or “regard” with respect to an unusual, rare, and extraordinary object.” While first meaning comes and goes almost at the same time, the second type can become “constant and durable.” Aristotle described admiration as wonder and said that “[it] is the beginning of the philosophical inquiry…
Magician’s exploit the limitations of attentional and perceptual systems. They manipulate a process of selective attention; priming, resulting in inattentional blindness. Inattentional blindness describes the inability of a person to notice an unexpected object that is fully visible (Carpenter, 2001). Priming is an alteration in the identification or production of an item due to prior exposure (Tulving & Schacter, 1990). There are many different types of priming. This essay examines selective…
Swimwear has changed throughout history based on societal norms, views on modesty, and sexuality, as well as technology. In recent years, swimwear has taken on a more practical form to promote less weight in the water, ease of agility, and comfort. However it was not always so, in the late 18th century, swimwear served the purpose of ensuring modesty which came at the expense of mobility. Despite the differences between these two time periods, they both uphold strong notions of what swimwear…
When writing an article to persuade your audience on a specific idea or topic, it is important to be very direct about what it is you are trying to persuade, leave out fallacies, and also have excellent credibility. Based on the two articles about adding a tax on sugary drinks or not, the article “Soda Taxes Fall Flat: Our View” by USA Today Editorial Board, is stronger than the article by Jim Krieger. I will first give you a short overview of each article and then inform you about details of…
Artifice In the excerpt “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges argues that “ the most essential skill … is artifice.” After reading the passage, I agree with Chris Hedges because in Political Theater and Consumer culture that is the most popular skill. Artifice is important because people use this skill to confuse others that do not know what is going on. People with this skill cause problem because they are tricking people into believing stuff that is not true. Others can say that Artifice is…
Hi Elvin, I had an interesting experience at MBSTP yesterday—I recapped it in my nightly survey, but I just wanted to send an email out to you about this as well: Overall, the General Manager (Chad) and the Executive Housekeeper (Terry) expressed great discontent in the evaluation process as a whole. Both Chad, and Terry exhibited unprofessional behaviors, swore, and were rude in the interactions we shared. In the first guest room, Chad verbally stated: "this makes me so mad, guests' don't…
As Vice President of Recruitment, my goal is to shape the process in a way that promotes class bonding while maintaining their GPA, or even seeing an increase in their GPA. I’ve created this case for a 6 week process to show how that is possible within 6 weeks rather than an unnecessary 7 week process. With these new changes that I plan on bringing to the process it will guarantee that new members have the time to study and not fall behind in classes because they are not worrying about trivial…
