.... on the topic of metaphysics, The issue diminishes to a clash between emotions and pleasures ve rses rationality and logic. Yet, what use is logic when the good agent is miserable? Mill's stance within Utilitarianism exists as the more favorable of the two beliefs, for happiness exist as the one intrinsically favorable element, not an emotionless mind. The main defender of the Utilitarian system exists within the Greatest happiness Principle. Mill lived as a chief advocate of this concept, which supports the idea that a decision is morally correct as long as it increases and encourages pleasures and happiness. Kant, howev .....

.... self; self-respect, undue pride in one’s self, or conceit. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss basic servanthood truths, the motivation, mannerisms, and model for adopting the attitude of a servant and servant leadership. Philippians 2:1-11 gives us an excellent model for developing a servant’s heart. An example of irony is that we as human beings believe that we need to puff ourselves up and draw attention to ourselves in order to be great, when in fact Christ humbled Himself and as a result was exalted and lifted up. Matthew 20:26 says, “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you sha .....

.... from the U.S. Unlike agencies in the U.S., many foreign adoption agencies accept adoptive parents over the age of forty and allow parents to adopt more than one child. Also many agencies in foreign countries are more willing to accept single adoptive parents. One of the most important reasons for adopting internationally is that it can be quite fast; sometimes placements occur within one year. International adoption can be faster if an agency has ties to a country with many waiting, orphaned children. Another important reason people adopt from foreign countries is because they believe that children in foreign orphanages need parents de .....

.... to new American cars in safety features such as anti-lock brakes, airbags, and theft deterrent systems. Fuel economy has been noticeably better in Japanese made cars for many years. American cars have been slower to move from gas-guzzlers to more efficient engines. The most important difference is performance. Japanese cars were the first to offer multi-valve engines, which have only recently come available in American models. Multi-valve engines allow for greater power while maintaining a higher fuel economy. There are other technologies concerning performance indigenous to specific Japanese automakers. Honda offers a V-Tech engine .....

.... For example, the Akpei people (neighbors to the nearby Igbuno village) have found that someone has fished and trampled in their stream. ( This is a very bad thing because the vegetation and fish are now no longer available) The blame immediately lands upon the Uma aya Biafra, or teenagers of Igbuno. There is no question, it is just assumed that teenagers were involved. (Unfortunately, Uche, a teenager from Igbuno, has committed this heinous crime). Also, when the people of Akpei find that someone is stealing from their huts, again without any evidence, they surmise that teenagers are to blame. Lastly, Okei's ( Okei is a teen who lives .....

.... child’s mind. By sitting down and watching TV for a couple hours, the child is entertained, but is also not thinking. Information in spoon-fed to them, so when it comes time to read a book in school, some can have a hard time grasping ideas. They are so used to having images flash before them to provide understanding; they have trouble moving their eyes side to side to gather the information for themselves. With the TV in front of them, supplying amusement, they may never stop to think that putting a puzzle together, or reading a book could also be fun. They could actually become dependent on this one source of fantasy, and never bothe .....

.... more noticeably in the last ten years than in any other time in the twentieth century, with one out of every four Americans identifying themselves as black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, or American Indian (Gould 198). The number of foreign born residents also reached an all time high of twenty million, easily passing the 1980 record of fourteen million. Most people, from educators to philosophers, agree that an important first step in successfully joining multiple cultures is to develop an understanding of each others background. However, the similarities stop there. One problem is in defining the term "multiculturalism". .....

.... them as mere productive tools. The Urban housewife was subjected to the same social discrimintion as the peasant women the only main difference was that the urban housewife was kept out of the production process, since the production in towns was no longer run on a family basis. The only careers for which girls were trained were wifehood and motherhood. These weren’t suitable careers for women which threatened to drive them into the dangerous path of the consumer race. Eventhough the first move toward salaried employment of women in Iraq came in 1923, when a teachers’ training Institute was opened. 2 This still left some lower class w .....

.... to many Aborigines the date they were conquered and their lands occupied.' Involvement of the Indigenous community on has taken many forms - forced participation in re-enactments and mourning for Invasion Day, as well as peaceful protests through the city streets. Personally, does not mean a lot to me. As I was not born in Australia and only received my Australian citizenship in 1995, I have never really seen the significance of the public holiday; however one thing I do believe in, is that the date should be changed. The government must find a day on which everyone can feel included, in which everyone can participate equally, and can cele .....
