.... we cannot decide to perceive blueness when looking at a red apple. This is an issue that has attracted some interest in the course of the history of thought. In this paper I will be looking into the views of a contemporary author who sees the relationship of willing to belief as an issue recurring thoughout the history of philosophy. In his book Religious Belief and the Will2, Louis Pojman identifies Soren Kierkegaard as a direct prescriptive volitionalist, i.e. a thinker who holds that beliefs can and ought to be (at least in some circumstances) directly willed. C. Stephen Evans, in "Does Kierkegaard Think Beliefs Can Be Directly Willed?"3 responds to Pojma .....

.... Medieval period, bathing was considered quite unfashionable, contributing strongly to the terrible plagues of the Middle Ages. That occurred, in part, because of heavy taxation of soap as a luxury item, making it available nearly exclusively to the wealthy. In Europe, in the sixteen hundreds, soapmakers’ guilds began to appear, and soaping as a trade became a closely guarded, and much sought after secret. In 1622, King James I, granted a monopoly to a soapmaker for a staggering $100,000 a year! It was not until Queen Victoria repealed the soap tax in 1853 that soap became economically available to the average person, and cleanliness took a turn, once again, t .....

.... context (including history) and the cultural aspects embedded within it that shape human cognition, emotion, motivation, and behavior in cross-culturally divergent ways. This can be used to determine why a culture does what it does, therefore pertains to Anthropology. Cross-cultural research investigates social behaviors, personality differences, problem solving intellectual abilities, perceptual abilities, and esthetics. Cultures differ with respect to two major classes of variables: biological and ecological. Biological variables include such factors as diet, genetics, and endemic diseases. Ecological variables include such factors as geography, clima .....

.... different light. If we were to analyze Utilitarianism closely, we would realize that they do not put any values on human life. In the Utilitarian point of view, every human life is worth the same. No matter what the status of the entity. Even if he were a president, or a teacher, or a janitor, or a beggar, everyone would be considered as one “unit” of human being. What Utilitarianism is all about, is consequences. How an action results in a consequence. If the consequence of an action is something good, then we gain positive utility, and negative utility otherwise. Therefore, Utilitarians justify their actions by calculating the utility they derive .....

.... information. Tillage operations that prepare the soil for planting and control weeds also expose bare soil to possible erosion by wind and water. Erosion removes fertile soil and contributes to problems of air and water pollution. Several techniques are used to combat erosion. Crop farmers are shifting toward reduced-tillage techniques to prepare their seedbeds. Many keep a mulch cover of residues to shield their soil from wind and water erosion. Crop rotation and cover crops are also being increasingly used to hold soil in place between plantings. Still, many small-seeded crops require a finely worked, pulverized seedbed, and soil erosion cannot be complet .....

.... of "). Central and southern have hot summers with day time temperatures that reach 86*F. The winters are mild and daytime temperatures reach 54*F. Northern is slightly cooler in the summer than the rest of the country. However, it is much cooler in winter. The lowest annual amount of rain fall on record in is 18 in. The highest annual amount of rain fall on record is 60 in. Italians pride themselves on their wonderful cooking. For example Naples is known for plain pizza crust and stuffed peppers. Genoa is known for gnocchi al pesto (tiny dumplings with basil and garlic sauce), and trenette (a kind of long, narrow noodle). Italians aremostly f .....

.... is critical. The first of these is sensorimotor play which begins with the infant’s accidental discovery of an activity that is inherently satisfying, and consists of the continuos repetition of that activity for the sheer joy of doing so (Hughes, 1991). The second is play with objects involves the intentional handling of an object that leads to satisfaction from the handling. Finally symbolic play is the use of mental representation, in which one object represents another (Hughes, 1991). The differences between play and exploration can be difficult to assess. When infants are exploring their surroundings, they are usually cautious and serious. While ex .....

.... table was a cold, plain white, brick wall. There was a large slide projector set up in the middle of the room with an older man standing behind it, preparing the machine for its task. At 12:00, the machine fired up as if it knew its job was to bring that cold, plain white, brick wall to life. The amazing pictures displayed were not only of common birds such as the Wren, House Sparrow, and Woodpecker, but, more interestingly, of less common birds like the very unsociable Toucan, and the wonderfully colored Macaw. Birds may be his passion, but Tom Ulrich captured many other great animals on film. There were huge cats such as the Cheetah, Lion, and the Leopa .....
