Mean World Syndrome

Capitalism is an economic system based on market exchange. Usually, in capitalism, people are hired to make a profit by marketing the goods and services they make. Capitalism is the reason the entire world is brought into one system and I consider it to be the most effective system. In capitalism, a product is dominated by the capitalist, and thus making the goods be a part of social production rather than an individual appropriation. (Engels, 99) Social order is greatly influenced by the…

modality of the data is unimodal (one peak) at 339 minutes. 50% of the Ironman athletes finish the race between 305.6 and 370.7 minutes. Although, there is a large standard deviation of 48.9. This entails that there is a large distance between the mean and the points, hence a…

abilities to function as they might otherwise; a ‘domination disrupts nature’ thesis. Both Locke and Marx identify money as one such dominating force. This dominance applies not only to money being the end of transaction, but also to the dominance of the means of transaction, with corresponding ramifications for the items being transacted. For example, Locke notes how the accumulation of wealth allows people to store more than they require, leaving relative deprivation in times of scarcity.…

In the Nichomachean Ethics, Aristotle again and again expresses that honesty is a mean. The mean is a state of light and dread in the midst of delights and torments that grants one to judge what seems, by all accounts, to be most truly awesome or anguishing. This dynamic state of the soul is the condition in which each one of the powers of…

The current world is a place of ongoing crisis. People live and survive in a crisis cycle; one crisis after another. Either from natural occurring crisis such as hurricanes or earthquake to man made for example war or poverty. Looking at the present day crisis most will assume that crisis is a variable that is inevitable. However, there are many who disagree with the previous idea. Some believe that since the crisis is created by people it can also be destroyed by its creators. For humans are…

Introduction The NAPLAN test (http://www.nap.edu.au) is for both primary and secondary schools to assess the performance of Australian students against minimum national standards (Reys et al., 2012). With this in mind the approach to answering the questions was to work through all parts of the questions just like a student would, to form an understanding of the process and methods a student taking the test would perform. The questions were not overly difficult to conceptualise, however, working…

The Kriging weights w_i1,w_i2,w_i3,…w_ik can be used to estimate the fair value of VA contracts x ⃑_i by the following formula, y ̂_i=∑_(j=1)^k▒〖w_ij∙y_j 〗. The kriging weights can be calculated by the following linear equations, Where the is a control variable, which is used to make sure that ∑_(j=1)^k▒w_ij =1. V_rs=α+exp⁡(-3/β D(z ⃑_r,z ⃑_s,λ)),r,s=1,2,3,…,k, D_ij=α+exp⁡(-3/β D(x ⃑_i,z ⃑_j,λ)),j=1,2,3,…,k, The D(.) function is the distance function mentioned in the clustering section…

Equality 7-2521 wishes to share his discovery with his society because of the unlimited potential he sees within it. He takes his invention to the World Council of Scholars to show them what he has done. The council was furious. Equality 7-2521 had broken numerous laws closely associated with Marxist philosophy, such as working alone and thinking independently (Marx). The council says that the invention…
