“Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me, you know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

He also recognized that God truly knows all his ways. For the most part, people prefer to hide their true selves from others and when conflict arises, they tend to place blame on everyone other…

Final Paper: David Lewis Prompt In his work, Mad Pain and Martian Pain, David Lewis argues that we can apprehend the concept of pain by applying an ambiguous, yet effective Materialist Mixed Theory of mind. The Mixed Theory of mind includes an Identity Theory and a Functionalist Theory—which Lewis must necessarily accept in order to have his theory of pain.

people growing up and attending school received the most recognition when they got correct answers, not questions. As life continues, this incentive continues. In a discussion between comedian Louis C.K. and the creator of the TED conference, Richard Saul Wurman, Wurman makes an interesting comment that, “In school, we are rewarded for having the answer, not for asking a good question. Which may explain why kids—who start off asking endless “why” and “what if” questions—gradually ask fewer and…

After reading the memoir This Boy’s Life by Tobias Wolff, I agree with Saul Alinsky in the belief that life is full of corruption and everyone is destined to be somewhat corrupt. No one can run away from corruption, since corruption can be found everywhere. This is shown when Toby starts to live with his father. Although Toby believes living with his father will make his life more content, he is immediately disappointed shortly after arriving: “My father took off for Las Vegas with his…
