Sociology of Deviance The Division of the Mind, Soul & Body We do not live in a world of our own creation. We live in a world that is made up. In the words of James Baldwin an African American Historian, “People invent categories in order to feel safe.” (Dialogue 88-9) In other words people create associations to loosely say ‘I am not that’ or ‘I am this’, to feel a part of something and have a classification for social order. This notion applies to the body as well. People cannot simply…

searching for the truth? He does not see that it is possible for two things to be true while opposing each other. He has many rebuttals to Crito’s arguments, the most prominent of which is: one must not do unjust things, for doing wrong corrupts the soul and makes life not worth living. He goes to great lengths to show that it would be wrong, or unjust, for him to leave. However, in resting with this answer he fails to see that it is even more unjust to stay. And in staying he is choosing the…

not what defines personal identity because of its variance through time is inconsistent with personal identity, it would be mayhap be possible to attribute personal identity to an immaterial soul, one that is consistent through time.

The process through which Plato managed to explain how justice is a part of the human soul is explained as below: Book begins with Cephalus, Plato 's father, saying that justice means simply to follow and oblige to the legalities laid down and by following…

Death Death is arguably the most cryptic topic that a person can ponder about; a phenomenon that science will probably never be able to explain, knowing that if a person has experienced death, they’ll never have their soul returned to them. Due to that fact that humanity will probably never know what the true answer is, one cannot help but ponder about what happens to our spirit after it leaves our body. That is exactly what Lucretius and Marcus Aurelius do in On the Nature of Things and…

He then goes on saying that we should let the just man and the unjust man have the power to do what they wish, as we sit back and look on: "Give each the just man and the unjust, license to do whatever he wants, while we follow and watch where his desire will lead each" (line 359c). Next, Glaucon states that the just man would be caught doing the same actions as the unjust man because they both want what's best and this is what's seen as good: "We would catch the just man red-handed going the…

It is the year 3000 and teleportation machines are rampant everywhere. They are the main mode of transportation in everyday life. All you have to do is step into the machine and a bright laser zaps through your body, and a ‘you’ is recreated in another machine. This new ‘you’ contains the exact same pattern of atoms and neural connections as the ‘old’ you, and the ‘old’ you is destroyed by the laser. The question to ask here is, is the ‘old’ you the same person as the ‘new’ you? The new ‘you’ is…

saying that the soul does not depend on any material thing” (31). So at the very least Descartes puts forth the idea of the consciousness’ ability to exist without any material being. This brings up the aspect of consciousness, which is an important aspect to be considered, which Aristotle does not seem to directly address. For example, what is to be said of the person that exists and its within the descriptions of a self such as having the ability to move, sense, and an incorporeal soul, as…

The Buddhism faith or religion view of healing begins with an attempt to avoid suffering (White, 2015). Buddhism originated 2500 years ago when Siddhartha Gotuma was made aware of life at the age of 35. The prime understanding he developed of life is that everyone suffers, both rich and poor. The belief from this group is to be tolerant of others who do not see life the way they do or don’t share their beliefs. They don’t fight with other groups in an attempt to convert them. Buddhist…
