.... have opened small shops to help supplement their modest earnings from farming. Skills handed down from generation to generation have resulted in the best quality products, a proud Amish tradition. Of course, the Amish did not choose this newly found way of life, they were forced in by greater urbanization and the diminished availability and affordability of farmland. They would rather stay and go into small business than move to a more rural state. One of the most known societies is in the town of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is an estimated 1,000 Amish businesses in the Amish community. Within these 1,000 businesses one third of t .....

.... a course in geometry is beneficial for all students, who will find that learning to reason and prove convincingly is necessary for every profession. It is true that not everyone must prove things, but everyone is exposed to proof. Politicians, advertisers, and many other people try to offer convincing arguments. Anyone who cannot tell a good proof from a bad one may easily be persuaded in the wrong direction. Geometry provides a simplified universe, where points and lines obey believable rules and where conclusions are easily verified. By first studying how to reason in this simplified universe, people can eventually, through practice a .....

.... the welfare of the people involved in or effected by an action, utilitarianism requires that all individuals be considered equally. Quantitative utilitarians would weigh the pleasure and pain which would be caused by the bomb exploding against the pleasure and pain that would be caused by torturing the terrorist. Then, the amounts would be summed and compared. The problem with this method is that it is impossible to know beforehand how much pain would be caused by the bomb exploding or how much pain would be caused by the torture. Utilitarianism offers no practical way to make the interpersonal comparison of utility necessary to .....

.... The word ‘flat’ sounds cold, empty and static, as opposed to the vibrancy of Windy Corner. Forster’s comment that it is ‘well-appointed,’ is another of his satirical observations, and this leads us to believe that perhaps it does not have such high standards after all. The physical interiors are just as different as their appointed names. Mrs Vyse’s flat is not described in too much detail, but just enough so that the reader has a clear picture of it in our minds. As mentioned above, the flat is proved not to have such high standards when Mrs Honeychurch reveals that there is a “thick layer of flue under the beds.� It is n .....

.... or unlikely occurrence in the dream, such as meeting a person who is dead, or flying with or without wings. Sometimes people become lucid without noticing any particular clue in the dream; they just suddenly realize that they are in a dream. A minority of lucid dreams (about 10 percent) are the result of returning to REM sleep directly from an awakening with unbroken reflective consciousness (LaBerge, 1985). These types of lucid dreams occur most often during daytime napping. If the napper has been REM deprived from a previous night of little sleep their chances of having a REM period at sleep onset are increased. If the napper is able t .....

.... be willing co -conspirators in the tobacco delusion because they wanted to believe the image of smokers promoted in advertising. The deleterious health effects of tobacco smoking have long been recognized. As early as the 19th century, isolated reports were circulated that cigar and pipe smoking caused cancer of the mouth. It was not until the 20th century--in fact, until 1950--that firm evidence was established that lung cancer was directly related to cigarette smoking. Lung cancer is now the most common cause of cancer deaths in men of most Western countries. Because cigarette smoking became a popular and fairly widespread habit among m .....

.... can. This new rule was first tried out at a New York versus Baltimore Orioles game, when New York was at bat and they needed a home run to win. The batter hit the ball not far enough to the wall and when the out fielder was going to catch it a kid reached over the wall and caught the ball. This would be usually ruled no home run but the umpire said it was OK. New York went on to win the next game to advance to the World Series. The fans in New York made the little boy a hero for a day and loved him for what he did but most of the other baseball fans all over the country did not think it was fair to the Orioles. In conclusion I do not li .....

.... education curriculum, and set them upon fast tracks to lifetimes of academic failure. Black English is a combination of African languages and Standard English. African Americans should be awarded linguistic medals of Honor for it creation against impossible odds. To deter rebellion and increase fear and control, slave masters deliberately separated African slaves from fellow members of their tribes. Often, these same slave masters were functionally illiterate and ignorant of English themselves. From that linguistics stew of confusion, we fashioned a formal Black English. Just as in French, many of these languages have no “th” .....

.... is that the health agencies will just not budget money towards research of prisoners with AIDS. They do not want anything to do with the gay males in the prisons. They believed prisons did not deserve the research money because of the crimes they committed and because of the kind of people they are. What these health agencies do not realize is that AIDS is rapidly spreading in prisons and that is not good so they should reconsider spending money toward research of AIDS in prisons. My second proof as to why the American public lacks interest in AIDS is the spread of the disease in foreign countries. AIDS is being spread in all countries .....

.... Each individual exits in his/her own private reality, yet co-exists in a normal shared common sense reality with society. To momentarily escape the presence of reality in order to assume a different perspective requires a concentrated and deliberate effort. When foreign tasks are introduced into our daily routines, the reality of everyday life integrates the foreign information into what is more natural and understood. Other subconscious realities find themselves engulfed within the reality of everyday life as a result of its overpowering nature. We are successful in our endeavors only when a specific set of sequences are .....
