of division. This principle provides a means to rationally and plausibly divide the soul into parts. Socrates states that the “same thing will not be willing to do or undergo opposites in the same part of itself, in relation to the same thing, at the same time” (436b). What this means is that a single body can not have opposite processes that occur simultaneously. For example, Socrates provides the example of someone who is standing still while their hands and head move (436c). There is a whole…

The play in the development of her argument is the role in the government which is why her argument is enforced upon this issue. The government play role’s as the marrying agent.

Socrates’ two premises support his initially stated conclusion that death and life are cyclical opposites or, in other words, that they flow back and forth as states of existence. He concludes, “…living people come to be from nowhere other than from the dead” (Plato, 2014, p. 58, 70d). While Socrates’ argument is valid, his first premise is problematic. It is within this premise that he assumes fundamentally dissimilar relationships between fundamentally dissimilar entities are analogous. When…

Many people populate the world, but there are only two genders to split them up; female and male. Every single day you encounter the opposite sex of your own, and you have to interact with them through school and other social activities. However, if you were to be split up from the opposite gender, interaction with the opposite sex will not happen. Single-sex schools take away this critical communication and shut you out from diversity. This is why I am against this type of education. According…

exact opposite of those qualities. He says that a hero should be great with women, stand tall, be self-aware, and have a great vocabulary. The exact opposite of a hero is a villain, and if his qualities are the exact opposite of being a hero, then he is, therefore, the villain. There are other ways to tell that he is not a hero as well. He causes pain and suffering amongst Hrothgar’s kingdom. He is aware of the pain he…

breaking it down as to what is attractive to each party in a friendship.

people all over the Atlantic Ocean area used blacks as slaves. In this time, the famous slave trade triangle; going from Africa, America, England, and back down to Africa again, was considered acceptable. Back then, no one had heard of the term “opposite racism” as it did not exist back then, and it still does not exist now. Nowadays, racism has become a big issue, many people try to push the…

heterosexual and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities. This discrimination may impact bisexuals' decisions regarding the sex of the person they choose to date. Despite being attracted to both sexes, 84% of bisexuals engage in opposite sex relationships (Pew Research Center, 2013). The mechanisms underlying these dating decisions are unclear. The present research focuses on exploring three possibilities as to why this disparity exists: (1) natural reproduction, (2)…
