.... it really is. On the contrary, Marx, a realist, believed that to understand the essence of an object, you must view and touch the object to understand what it really is. Also, Marx and Plato had epistemological differences. Their views on what knowledge was and how one came to understand were very different. For Plato, grasping the forms or ideas of something was gaining true knowledge. He believed that if one could understand the ideas or the true definition of something, they then had true knowledge of it. This type of knowledge comes from a world of being, where everything is something because it is forever unchanging. It always is that spec .....

.... Individuality and creativity were pushed aside so colleges, universities, graduate schools and employers would be able to judge their candidates. In the text, Celebrating Diversity, a short segment called, " Add Teaching To High-Risk Jobs," writes, "You can have an 'A'." Students' minds are generally focused on getting an "A," so they usually don't think about learning, rather they constantly render on the "A." Many candidates' acceptance are based on their academic and test standards and nothing more. Grades are thought to be the most accurate way to judge individuals and schools provide testing and grades that are utilized by institutes .....

.... decide what the subject matter consists of and the meanings behind it. They must consider the social reality and the nature of being, in relation to the subject matter. Having satisfied this researchers then make epistemological assumptions surrounding the subject matter. They must decide on the type of evidence to be collected, considering which evidence will deliver optimum validity. They must decide which stance to take during research, objective or neutral, considering which would be possible or even favourable. They must then think about how this can be best achieved. Should the research be classified as ‘scientific’ or ‘un .....

.... 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 completely eliminated. Fertilizers from both natural and manufactured sources can also contribute to water pollution. Soluble-nitrogen forms can leach into groundwater, and all fertilizers, includi .....

.... his needs, and he will not have to be asking his parents for money all the time. By having a job a teenager can save up for college, to buy a car, to buy a stereo, etc. Teenagers feel ‘free’ when they have a job: they can spend their own money on whatever they want without feeling guilty. In addition to helping his family, having a job at an early age can help for future jobs. When many people apply for an important job, the employer will most likely choose the person who has the most working experience. People who have had a job since their teenage years will know how to deal with the stress and the work better than new people. They wil .....

.... Unlike Darwin, Spencer's idea is referring to society rather than nature. Today Spencer's idea is known as Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism was built on the principle that success would come to the most intelligent, ambitious, and productive people, who quite properly advanced their interests at the expense of the less able. Spencer endorsed this idea because he believed that this process would gradually improve society. For his opinion, Spencer was widely applauded by early industrialists who wanted to keep their big businesses free of government regulation. Even though many liked Spencer's ideas many objected it also. Many people thought tha .....

.... wondered why my mother used to pray to many Gods. As I became older, I built up the courage to ask a Pandit (Indian Priest) why we believed in many Gods whereas all the others believed only in one. He had informed me that we only believe in one God, Lord Shiva. It may appear that we are praying to many Gods, but in fact we are praying to the many forms that he appeared to us on earth. The Hindu and the Christian religious beliefs are predominantly very similar in that they teach individuals to be good and giving people. The main difference between the two religions is our belief in the after-life. Christians believe that after we die, we w .....

.... CC has five goals: · To represent Christians before local councils, state legislatures and the US Congress; · To train Christians for effective political action; · To inform Christians of timely issues and legislation; · To speak out in the public arena and media; and · To protest anti-Christian bigotry and defend the legal rights of Christians.

Increasingly, they are the Republican Party's most reliable supporters-what political strate .....

.... he seems to know their playing ability pretty good. Greenfield expresses how each player dedicates them selves to the game of basketball, by explaining how each player uses a certain skill on the way they run or on the way they shoot for the basket. The way Greenfield wrote about each person and the two different style of basketball was pretty general. One thing that was a little confusing to me was that Greenfield would go back and forth on what he was talking about. For example, he would start off talking about the two different styles of basketball. Then he would compare the basketball court dimensions to other athletic facilities, such as baseba .....

.... smoked as a cigarette (called a joint or a nail) or in a pipe or a bong. Recently, it has appeared in cigars called blunts. THC in marijuana is strongly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs. Generally, traces (metabolites) of THC can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after a smoking session. However, in heavy chronic users, traces can sometimes be detected for weeks after they have stopped using marijuana. There are many reasons why some children and young teens start smoking marijuana. Most young people smoke marijuana because their friends or brothers and sisters use marijuana and pressure them to try it. Some y .....
