.... imagination, a capacity to reflect upon what is right and wrong with all the emotional and intellectual resources of the human mind (Coles 3). This is where we decide what we ought to do or not to do and why (Coles 7). Our moral thinking is also shaped by influences outside the home, by class and race, by social events, by cultural forces, and the assumptions that are fostered as a result of these influences (Coles 3). And we cultivate a moral intelligence from our imagination and our thinking. Our moral intelligence is a consequence of learning to be with others (Coles 5). Children will absorb what they observe (Coles 7). Morality is not a subject; it .....

.... and plagued this country for many years. With the hype and myth surrounding the phenomenon of serial murder, serial killers' crimes occupy a high profile category and occur at the end of the spectrum of normality. This paper will examine information on what a serial killer is and why they kill. Serial murder is defined as the killing of three or more people over a period of more than 30 days with a significant cooling off period between the killings (Seltzer 18). This cooling off period is the critical factor that separates the serial killer from mass and spree killers. A serial killer usually emerges from the pain and suffering of a life riddled with .....

.... in 1911, and in very basic terms described the one best way work could be done and that the best way to improve output was to improve the techniques or methods used by the workers. (Robbins p.38) Many comparisons can be made between the two theories, such as the mechanisation, fragmentation and specialisation of work and that a lack of intellectual or skilled content will speed up the work at hand. Fordism's mechanisation of mass production further emphasised many of Taylor’s popular beliefs about management being divorced from human affairs and emotions, using ‘humans as instruments or machines to be manipulated by their leaders’ (Herse .....

.... concern through the years, but unfortunlly there is no law prohibiting their use by business and government. Banks and other financial institutions use this number to report interest earned on accounts to the IRS. Other government agencies use these numbers in computer matching operations to stop fraud and abuse. Although you can’t prevent others from asking for the number, it does not give the use the right to access you records. The privacy of these records is guaranteed, unless by use of the government for health or welfare programs. Each number comes in 9 digits, and has 3 parts. The first three digits indicate the state shown in the mailing .....

.... a literate individual, I will not state statistical information about the state of literacy in the United States. The statistical information is not important, rather the way the literacy rate can be risen in the U.S. is what is important. A general situation that has to occur to raise literacy rate is the situation where an individual has the desire to read and write and does not do so solely because of instruction from authority figures. This certainly is not occurring today, as exemplified by the event that “even a best-selling book in this country might reach 5% of the population” (Castell 38). Perhaps a better way to influence the literacy in Ameri .....

.... The greatest act possible of god is his practice of "sparing and having mercy". There are actions judged to be much greater however, such as creating a world. Therefore god is not omnipotent. (iii) If god is omnipotent, then everything is possible and nothing is impossible. If this is true however, things which are necessary (things which cannot possibly not exist) are no longer so. This is impossible - therefore god cannot be omnipotent. Aquinas begins his rebuttals by defining what is encompassed by the characteristic of divine omnipotence. He explains that god is able to all things which are "possible absolutely", which he defines as all things w .....

.... by the free market forces of supply and demand. In other words, the rate moves freely in response to competitive market forces. Demand and supply are determined in terms of overseas currencies. Those who have foreign currency and want to buy dollars with it provide the demand for Australian dollars. These include overseas people who want to buy our exports, tourists coming here, overseas people wanting to lend money here, or buy shares or property here, overseas firms setting up branches here or expanding them, and those who pay us for various services, such as repay loans. Those who have Australian dollars and want to use them to buy foreig .....

.... medicine or any other purpose. (98) Naturally, those who support the cause of legalization will have their arguments, which can be summarized into three main areas. The first is the claim that marijuana is an instrumental treatment for the nausea associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients. The next assertion is that marijuana is an effective controller of glaucoma. Finally, marijuana advocates claim that it is effective in stimulating the appetite for the prevention of AIDS wasting syndrome. (71) Proponents of medical marijuana swear by its ability to ease the suffering of chemotherapy patients, however there is no research to back these staunch claims. To .....
