Objectivism

In science fiction, there is a special type of genre that primarily seeks to manipulate and mislead the person experiencing the story. These tales, whatever their medium, subtly influence their target to begin thinking about the world depicted in a way that may not be entirely accurate. Of course, stories like these can never be advertised as such; few things take away from a story more than knowing a plot twist is coming and trying to identify it. Books and movies have been working on…

Jackie must “process the information on an intellectual level by asking questions” and make a choice as his patients’ doctor on which is the best drug brand to prescribe.

will examine what makes Kretzman's solution successful, as well as analyze the idea of a perfect God as a moral standard. Kretzman is successful in offering an explanation for religion-based morality. He manages to capture ideas that theological objectivism and theological subjectivism ultimately fail to express. Kretzman does this with the idea of an "Absolutely Perfect Being", which gives a more concrete interpretation of morality than either of the other two concepts (Kretzman 42). Kretzman…

similarity with the way Bierce presents the death of Peyton Farquhar, pure objectivism. Yet, in another example, the short story by Ray Bradbury, entitled “August 2002: Night Meeting,” displays a main character, Tomas Gomez, and the Martian he encounters, who are both confounded when their factual information comes into conflict with the factual information of the other. Thus, this story story then arises a question about the objectivism of these two beings. Is it possible that Tomas is from…

Equality-7521 is a frowned upon burden to the council and the leaders of society, as he has committed a crime for which there is no name for in the novella Anthem by Ayn Rand. He is born with an unbearable curse which none of his brothers have, the courage to seek and find knowledge. He knows he is evil but, towards the end of the story, feels no burden upon his spirit…

Examination of student identity development will be preceded by presenting an epistemological framework that employs symbolic interactionism theory which has been widely used to investigate an array of issues within the field of social psychology including identity. On a very basic level that explains the interrelationship combining symbols, objects and meanings, Hewitt (2003) points out that “human beings employ symbols, carve out and act toward objects rather than merely respond to stimuli,…

My original understanding of Atheism focused on several distinctions that I felt acted to characterize basic differences between an atheist and theist. Of these particularities, I honed in upon experiencing life without a God figure present, as well as the importance of being fully aware in the environments we inhabit for the sake of forgoing the jurisdiction of a supreme being. An attempt was made to emphasize this approach by asking the reader to understand that we as individuals exist in a…
