Philosophy Statement
Words: 1236 - Pages: 5.... or even aesthetic education can teach what is ennobling or sacrilegious, right or corrupt.

Unique to our times are trends such as 'xeroxed' landscapes and chains where you can eat in an identical chair on opposites sides of the country.

Central Theme Of The Upanishads
Words: 837 - Pages: 4.... the universal Avidya, while Brahman is actually nirguNa or without any attributes in absolute reality. Some of the richest material in the Upanishads delineating the glory of God, the process of creation, prescribing different methods of upaasanaa, Eschatology, recommending meditation, devotion etc. have to be relegated to a secondary position, as they are essentially dealing with the machinations of the unreal Avidya, which vanishes into "nothing," when the soul is liberated and discovers its identity with the formless and attributeless Brahman.

Words: 1135 - Pages: 5.... truly interested in having our nation cleansed of this disease, we must begin by removing from our minds the notion that rape occurs only among the poor.

We ourselves determine the method of thinking which makes us addicted or un-addicted. Our freedom to .....

Fordism's mechanisation of mass production further emphasised many of Taylor’s popular beliefs about management being divorced from human affairs and emotions, using ‘humans as instruments or machines to be manipulated by their leaders’ (Hersey p.84).

He observed that the needle inside the woman’s stomach was moving and believed that to be the fetus fighting against what it instinctively knew as death. These observations, in my eyes, make him a philosopher. He not only thinks about the woman having the abortion but also the fetus that is being aborted. He links the physical act with emotions and psychological aspects, which make him think differently than other surgeons.
