This essay analyzes how Nietzsche’s and Epictetus’s work can be used to form a philosophical anecdote for the irrational rule of reasoning known as awfulizing. Awfulizing can be defined as perceiving a situation to be as bad as it possibly could be. Awfulizing can occur when a person begins to look at aspects of life in a negative way, which is considered an irrational way of thinking about a situation. For instance, when a friend or family member dies, theft, illness, injury, financial issues,…

Self-driving cars may sound like a futuristic fantasy, but they actually exist right now. In fact, Google currently operates these vehicles in California, Texas, and Washington. A self-driving car uses a computer to operate the car; no human interaction needed other to program your drive. According to the National Safety Council,…

My grandpa was a hero due to all of the obstacles and hardships he had to overcome in his lifetime.…
And we've done the same thing in the stunt business. Some of the biggest car crashes that we've set up--Jen{nifer Caputo}, my wife, has been the one crashing the car. When I came into the movie business, I would constantly see this old, macho generation that if there was a woman in a car chase doubling an actress, when it came to the big, heavy crash, they would want to take the woman out and put a guy there. In reality, not only is it wrong morally, I feel, but it's also wrong from a safety and…
Collisions involving semi-trailer trucks happen on a daily basis. Due to the obvious size difference between a car and a big rig, when you are in a passenger vehicle, a trucking collision often results in critical injury. And when there is a fatality, the victims are almost always those in passenger vehicles. According to the Department of Transportation, approximately 500,000 of these traffic mishaps occur each year in the U.S. With that in mind, here are four legal considerations you can…

The purpose of the experiment is to determine the equilibrium constant of the reaction between Fe3+ ions and SCN2+ ions. In solutions one to five (the reference solutions), a large volume of concentrated Fe3+ ions was used in order to react with and convert all of the SCN2+ ions into FeSCN2+ ions. In solutions six to ten (the test solutions), a constant volume of Fe3+--in lesser concentration--and varying volumes of SCN2+ ions were diluted with DI water and reacted to produce an unknown amount…
