.... things are nought but the illusions and dreams of which this genius has availed himself in order to lay traps for my credulity… (330) Ultimately, Descartes discovered what he felt was the one irrefutable truth. He could not doubt that he existed, and he also could not doubt that he was a "thinking thing". From this he concluded that the self that thinks clearly exists, which is the conception of the phrase 'Cogito ergo sume'; I think, therefore I am. Once Descartes established himself as a "thinking thing", he then focused his attention on the external world. He demonstrated that his bodily perceptions would give him id .....

.... when contribute to the slow progress of black people. Before the Civil Rights movement racism was so blatant that not knowing it existed would have been difficult. Presently, it is so subtle that some argue we cannot blame racism for our problems. Unfortunately, they are wrong. The effects of racism can be seen in the segregation of our neighborhoods and in our high unemployment rates. White people want to keep their contact with us to a minimum. In 1991, USA Today reported that the 1990 census "concluded that 'the majority of the nation's 30 million black people are as segregated now as they were . . . in the '60s' " (Smit .....

.... they see on TV. For example, children watch Power Rangers and turn around and try to do the Karate they see on anyone they can. They feel they are doing no wrong since the characters on TV are being praised for doing it. The violence on a simple show like Power Rangers can have a great effect on children. When you get into shows with guns and killing, that totally expands a child’s mind to new ways of getting rid of their problems. Television teaches children how to get rid of their problems, but not in the correct manner. Children should go back to communicating their problems to their parents and have their parents teac .....

.... When a boss gives demands or requests that need to be met then he helps the employees, it usually makes them more productive. For example, another of my bosses, Marty, understands when there are so many things that need to be done and not enough people to do them. If only one person is scheduled for a shift and there is too much work for that person, Marty helps out wherever he is needed. Working together may sometimes make you feel equal rather than having the owner/worker relationship. The owner/worker relationship is not always bad but can be intimidating. When I am working side by side with my boss I feel I share an underst .....

.... that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling me you won't work with him because he's a negro?" "That's right."3 As we can see the above exert clearly shows how the black person was outcasted. Bullet's coach asked him to train with another person on the team but Bullet refused to train with him because he is black. Another quote that shows how blacks are still in a struggle for racial equality is in short commentary, A Fair World for All by Do .....

.... is one reason he was so phenomenally popular. Despite what they tell you, people like having their buttons pushed" (Macrone 6). Because his works contained so many of these profane words or phrases, they were censored to protect the innocent minds of the teenagers who are required to read them, and also because they were blasphemous and offensive. Almost all of the profanity was removed, and that that was not had just reason for being there. Some of the Bard's censored oaths are; "God's blessing on your beard" Love's Labors Lost, II.i.203 This was a very rude curse because a man's facial hair was a point of pride for him. .....

.... or nullify a theory. During the mid-19th century, scholars (although at that time probably termed philosophers) wanted to study human nature with the aim of applying the scientific method to observe, record, and treat human behavior that was deemed as unnatural. They believed that if people could be studied in a scientific manner, there would be a greater accuracy in understanding present behavior, in predicting future behavior, and, most controversially, in altering behavior through scientific intervention. There are many areas of psychology, each attempting to explain behavior from slightly different perspectives; Social psy .....

.... to be very successful while others have failed. Although not everybody agrees on what the solution they do agree that something has to be changed. Although many agree that mandatory minimum sentences are out dated and should not be imposed any longer, there are those who approve and support them. Those in favor of them have two strong reasons for there beliefs. First, they believe that the sentences act as a deterrent to possible criminals. The sentences are especially aimed at drug related crimes. The idea was to deter people, especially teens, from looking to make some money in the drug business by weighing it against .....

.... That core is biology. In biology, there are two distinct sets of genes: male (XX) and female (XY). Though these are distinctly different, there can already be seen some similarity in the two. Both carry the X chromosome. These different sets of chromosomes cause us to form distinct male and female physical characteristics. These differences enable males to be more suited to certain tasks. Males usually develop stronger muscles than do females, making us more suited to certain tasks such as heavy lifting. This in turn leads to genderization of careers. Jobs that utilize this extra strength, such as construction or a .....

.... this, committees have been organized will develop voluntary national and state standards for education and authorize grants to develop model programs to improve learning. Employment is an issue that every American must deal with. In society today, women are forcing their way into the business world. Although females' incomes are generally less than males, both incomes are needed for general household expenses. One problem which sometimes arises is the matter of children. Although the woman generally stays home with the children when the are born and young, the men in the family have to take this responsibility also. This led t .....
