Physical objects

analysis, you state that human bodies are a certain kind of physical object. You also state many times throughout your essay that there is a good chance that Tommy will not survive the operation (22). John Perry: Indeed. I believe that a physical object can retain their identity even though a change occurs (22). Ashley Mahon: Would that not be true for Tommy and Sam? You state that a physical object can preserve identity. However, a car that has undergone several repairs for instance, even one as extreme as having a new engine, can remain the same car. The car is the same; nevertheless it has other functioning car parts within it as well. Similarly, a human body is still the same after it has received a new heart or a new kidney, for example. Why should the story with the brain be any different? Why should replacing a brain not be considered equal to replacing a major part of a physical body? Evidently, these changes will leave the body changed – hopefully for the better – but it will still be the same body with a new part, not a new body entirely (22). I could also argue that much like the car analogy, Tommy remains the same boy, while receiving an organ that is fully functioning. Therefore, both boys survive the operation, though in different ways. John Perry (clears throat): So what you are saying is that there is only one person, who is both Tommy and Sam who will survive? Making this person made up of Tommy’s physical body and Sam’s brain? Maybe so, but it does not…

They state that since there is no one-fits-all approach, they may use discretion reasonably to determine the level of force to use. According to their department use of force may be used in arrests, averting an escape, or when dealing with resistance. They then describe the factors which may reasonably lead to use of force, which include: sudden and grave risk to officers or others, the behavior of the person being confronted, the physical factors of both the officer and person being confronted…

The subject, hereby referred to by given name Ci'ithraal and/or shortened Ci'ith, is a hermaphroditic, bipedal Xenocidae-class extraterrestrial from the █████-█ subspace region.

For example, a 3-year-old may complain about his slice of pizza being smaller than his brother’s and become unhappy. Once his original slice is cut into two slices, he will think that he has “more” than his brother. The 3-year-old will focus on the number of slices he has and not the actual amount of pizza he has. Focusing only on one feature of some object rather than taking all features into consideration is called centration. Centration is one of the reasons that children in this stage often…

Love is composed of many powerful forces that are all consuming. Sappho, the poet in, If Not winter, writes about experiences in which, eros produces a gap between the subject and the desired object. With the use of vivid imagery and overt symbolism within fragment 105A, Sappho allows her readers to experience the uncontrollable emotions of desire and attraction that controls a person who is in love, even if it is impractical for her to have such feelings. This ultimately creates a tangible…

Student ID: 1330882 Paper 1: Russell and Strawson Introduction In this paper, I will compare and contrast Russell’s and Strawson’s accounts on definite descriptions, which are phrases of the form “the X” and denote some object. I will first reconstruct Russell’s account, which argues that that all definite descriptions are in reality a series of propositional statements and claims. I will then reconstruct Strawson’s account and claim that Russell’s account is flawed because it focuses…

Tablemate, a product produced by VitalTech has effectively given St. Peter’s residence a more social, pleasurable, and comfortable dining experience. A critical part of the design process was understanding that many residents are sometimes forced to leave their homes and live at St. Peter’s due to their disabilities, this gave us the idea of what experience the device should provide in the final product. The final decision was to give the ladies at table two a dining experience that would feel…

The object that I chose to talk about that I use in everyday life is the mirror. I use the mirror everyday to see if my hair isn’t looking messy, to see if my teeth are white in the morning, and I also use it to see if there are any stains anywhere on my clothing. Its a very useful item in my life, that I couldn’t live without, since I’m always paranoid about how I look everyday, so I just always have to look in the mirror. I basically look at the mirror every time I leave my room. As…
