.... when he writes, " It is a form of stupidity when to accept without reflection someone else’s definition." He wants people to realize that definitions are not god given, and that to question the validity is acceptable. Upon looking in a dictionary at any word you will see that all have several meanings. The same may apply to our lives, while one definition may apply to you another may not. The ability to question a definition is a crucial part of communication. For example: in the practice of law a case might call for someone to define the freedom of press, and that very definition may mean two completely different .....

.... a man's thought," quoted Hume. Hume took genuinely hypothetical elements from Locke and Berkeley but, rejected some lingering metaphysics form their thought, and gave empiricism its clearest and most rigorous formulation. (Stumpf) Hume wanted to build a science of a man, to study human nature by using the methods of physical science. But, with conflicting opinions offered on all subjects how can we know the true nature of things? Hume believed that all knowledge came from experience. He also believed that a person's experience's existed only in the person's mind. Although our body is confined to one planet, our mind can roam ins .....

.... socialist state many middle class citizens, along with the upper-class citizens too, would be exiled. Fidel often showed hostility toward the United states. Castro made his government seize all United States owned sugar mills, electric utilities and oil refineries. That decision was a poor one for his country and its economy. As a result of this decision the United States would no longer buy sugar from Cuba. They also put an embargo on Cuba. This resulted in Fidel's loss of popularity which therefore made the people think he didn't deserve as much power as he had. Although Castro did many negative things he also did a f .....

.... his mother and repeated the entire book from memory to her (Fadiman 14, Keynes 75). This talent was the foundation of Alfred's later reputation as a scholar, translator, and patron of learning. As Alfred's role as king and patron began, he solemnly noted on several occasions his disappointment in the state of educational opportunity in England. "Formerly," the King wrote bitterly, "men came hither from foreign lands to seek for instruction, and now when we desire it we can only obtain it from abroad" (Collins 329, Smyth 249-250). But his efforts were far from being imprisoned within his own island. He sent shipmasters to the .....

.... of nature. They did not believe government should be organized through the Church, therefore abandoning the idea of the divine right theory, where power of the King came directly from G-d. Starting from a clean slate, with no organized church, they needed a construct on what to build society on. The foundation of society began with the original state of nature. Hobbes’s perception of the original state of nature is what would exist if there were no common power to execute and enforce the laws to restrain individuals. In this case, the laws of the jungle would prevail where only the fittest survive. Man’s desires are insatiab .....

.... It became clear that Batista regime was an odious type of government. It killed its own citizens, it stifled dissent. At this time Fidel Castro appeared as leader of the growing rebellion. Educated in America he was a proponent of the Marxist-Leninist philosophy. He conducted a brilliant guerilla campaign from the hills of Cuba against Batista. On January 1959, he prevailed and overthrew the Batista government. Castro promised to restore democracy in Cuba, a feat Batista had failed to accomplish. This promise was looked upon benevolently but watchfully by Washington. Castro was believed to be too muc .....

.... in 1940. “As discussed in the Encyclopedia Americana. Vol. 16, page362.” He had no idea how much of an important and influential life he was going to lead. Kennedy’s political career began in 1946 when he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives and then in 1952 to a seat in the Senate. During his political career he was a strong opponent of Communism. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on September 12, 1953. She was beautiful, cultured, refined, the perfect wife for the young politician and shared the same views as he. In 1960 John Kennedy made a successful bid for the Presidency. He was elected over R .....

.... joined Plath for martinis at the Ritz where they shared poetry and intellectualized discussions about death. Although they were friends, there was also an element of competition between Sexton and Plath. Sylvia Plath's poem " Daddy" was possibly a response to Anne Sexton's "My Friend, My Friend." It was as if Plath was commenting that her writing skills were just a bit better than Sexton's. Sexton frequently would express to Robert Lowell in his poetry class her dissatisfaction with Plath's writing. She said that Plath "dodges the point in her poetry and hadn't yet found the form that belonged to her." The competitive na .....
