sprung up with fervor around the 1970’s, led by rebelling youth determined to appall their parents. However, it wasn’t until the year 1966 that the Church of Satan was officially founded by Anton LaVey in an effort to gather the worshippers around a Satan-lead theme. The Church’s principles can be found in LaVey’s (controversially thought to be plagiarized) cumulative work called The Satanic Bible. Currently, the Church of Satan has been basically disbanded (it is now a loose fellowship of…

Exploring the land model project The Bangkok research expedition is an amazing example of doing ethnographic research. There are several principles that can be drawn from their examples. 1) The project is well organized. In order to yield the best result, the team has been trained to meet the needs.

In Plato’s Republic, the Principle of Specialization is proposed. Despite being one of the most repulsive features of the narrative, this principle is the foundation of the community Socrates and his peers create (Republic 370c). This principle states that “productivity is increased . . . [when an individual] does the one thing for which he [or she] is naturally suited, and does it at the opportune moment” (Republic 370c). I think that individuals should be well rounded and refrain from…
