We both ran the same Spartan race weekend in Canada this year, so I made it a point to go say hi and setup this interview.  Interview with Misty: • When did you run your first obstacle course? Misty: On…

Everybody goes through hardships, some worse than others. For some it is like a constant flow of obstacles and boundaries left and right. That’s how is has been for me. In just the past ten years, I have gone through my parent’s repugnant divorce, and then both of the remarrying which added six new siblings to the two that I already had; my mom being in a head on collision, breaking everything from the hips down; my sister almost dying from an eating disorder; my brother being raped by my…

Ideas are defined as whatever is perceived or understood about something; despite this simple denotation, humankind 's capacity to acquire and understand these complex thoughts remains a controversy in philosophical literature. As major role models in the foundation of modern philosophy, Descartes and Locke feud over the definition of these ideas, the acquisition of these concepts, and the content of these thoughts. Descartes identifies with a rationalistic view where knowledge is based on…

One day as promised if she passed her spelling test, a young girl and her parents made a special visit to McDonald's. The little girl had to use the restroom when the family arrived to the restaurant. The parents ordered food for themselves and told the cashier, “I would like to also order a happy meal for my daughter”. By the time the family’s order number was called, the little girl was already out of the restroom. The family went to sit down and eat, but the girl was disappointed when she…

To summarize the APA report, it argues that the article did a poor job in six ways of explaining how girls and women are sexualized and how sexualization negatively affects them. Two critisms the APA had for the article would be over-determined impact of sexualization on girls and women and conflation of objectification, sexual objectification, and sexualization. In the over-determined section, it tells us how sexual images and sexualization can have negative impact. The author tries to prove…

Wiccan. She said that there are not, although a lot of Wiccans are vegan. I laughed when she said she was glad that Wicca did not have any rules about meat, “Because bacon” (Queen). One more interesting belief that Wiccans have is that they believe in unicorns and other magical creatures, such as fairies, griffins, and dragons. Ligeiya announced that “We don’t just rule out magical creatures”…
