Can we lie to ourselves?
Human psyche according to Freud : Guardian Believing in this hypothesis of the unconscious, would enable us to understand the possibility of self-lying by repression. The existence of an entity which is independent from all control and slips out from a spontaneous knowledge divides our mind into two independent beings that could deceive one another. However exciting this idea is, I think misses from this reasoning an idea of will, it...

to be human is to be in relation
experience that doesn't occur between the world and us but rather within ourselves (Buber p.56). In the I-It relationship, we are only distant observers and fail to be present and engage in relation with the world. The I-You relationship, in contrast, represents the entrance into relation. In this type of relationship, rather than being observers, we become active participants of the world. We no longer use or experience one another but rather get into relation with one another. This, in my op...

And for us the spectators, we have trouble for them, but we know that they are capable and have great skills, we respect them as much as other athle...

L'espionnage
not change the governments mind about a law. In history a crowd always led the greatest events. The "Prise de la Bastille" in France for example. This act was a revolting act led by a crowd with a year of accumulating anger inside of them, which burst. If there were to be only one man, taking down the Bastille, he would have been stopped and put in jail therefor failing his task. When you act out as a crowd, the impact is more violent but also more influential. The crowds that would like to make...

Commonsensism
2 Critical commonsensism: a systematic treatment ‘The slogans are impressive enough, ' one may say, ‘but how are they to be applied? ' In setting out, one presupposes that, by contemplating various possible beliefs, we can find out that some of them logically imply others, that some contradict others, that some are such that they serve to confirm others (they make the others probable) and that some are such as to disconfirm others (they make the others improbable). Probability, as Peirce con...

Common-sense ethics
mind, common to all human beings. Reid thought this showed that God meant it to guide our wills. It is both an intellectual and active power. As an intellectual power, it enables us to intuit directly the first principles of morality. Reid thought that moral reasoning, and indeed all reasoning, must start from self-evident first principles which we perceive immediately. If we had to figure out the basic principles of morality by a process of ratiocination, as Locke maintained, morality would not...

US Beats USSR in Hockey.
The two sides once again exchanged goals during the first period. Sergei Makarov briefly gave the Soviets a lead when he beat Craig. The goal outraged many in thecrowd who felt that referee Karl Kaisla of Finland missed a holding violation by a USSR player in front of the net. Controversy also played a role in the Americans'game-tying goal at the end of the period. With a few seconds left on the clock, Ken Morrow unleashed an 80-foot slap shot that ricocheted to center Mark Johnson,who deposited...

Perception (psychology).
A4 Closure According to the law of closure, we prefer complete forms to incomplete forms. Thus, in the drawing below, we mentally close the gaps and perceive a picture of a duck. This tendency allows us to perceive whole objects from incomplete and imperfect forms. A5 Common Fate The law of common fate leads us to group together objects that move in the same direction. In the following illustration, imagine that three of the balls are moving in one direction, and two of the balls are mo...

Arithmetic
I
INTRODUCTION
Arithmetic, branch of mathematics that arises from counting, the most basic mathematical operation.
Subtract the units: 6 - 3 = 3. Then subtract the tens column: 6 – 2 = 4. The results of these two single-digit subtractions, written side by side, provide the answer: Subtraction is a bit more complicated if we need to subtract a larger digit from a smaller one. For example, when subtracting 47 from 92, the units value (7) of 47 isgreater than the units value (2) of 92. We can handle this situation using a procedure called borrowing, which is like carrying in reverse. Ten units can be borrowe...

Social Psychology.
During the 1960s, American psychologist Stanley Milgram studied a form of social influence stronger than conformity: obedience to authority.

The subjects in these studies were led to believe that theywere acting as '...

Comedy
Socrates suffered in the comedy of Aristophanes. Throughout history, opposition to comedy and laughter has been strongest in societies which emphasize physical restraint, decorum and conformity. Many medieval monastic orders had statutes forbidding laughter. The Puritan and Victorian eras saw many condemnations of comedy and laughter. The more authoritarian the regime, the greater its suppression of comedy. Hitler even set up ‘joke courts' to punish those who made fun of his regime - one Berl...

To make matters worse, half of the carbohydrate calories consumed by the typical American comefrom processed foods filled with simple sugars. Experts recommend that these foods make up no more that 10 percent of our diet, bec...

The world being thus furnished with inhabitants, the first age was an age of innocence and happiness, called the Golden Age. Truth and right prevailed, though not enforced by law, nor was there any magistrate to threaten or punish. The forest had not yet been robbed of its trees to furnish timbers for vessels, nor had men builtfortifications round their towns. There were no such things as swords, spears, or helmets. The earth brought forth all things necessary for man, without his labour inplo...

delivered his famous "House Divided" speech.
First, That no negro slave, imported as such from Africa, and no descendant of such slave can ever be a citizen of any state in the sense of that term as used in theConstitution of the United States. This point is made in order to deprive the negro, in every possible event, of the benefit of that provision of the United StatesConstitution which declares that 'The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.' Secondly, That, 'sub...

On her left hand, she is holding a tablet, which we know is the Declaration of Independance. On her right hand she brandishes a torch which represents the flame of the freedom. The statue is draped by a long toga and by a crown on her head, with 7 pikes representing the 7 oceans and continents. The statue seems to be caricatured...

Extinction (biology) - biology.
III ROLE OF MASS EXTINCTION IN EVOLUTION Historically biologists—most famous among them British naturalist Charles Darwin—assumed that extinction is the natural outcome of competition between newlyevolved, adaptively superior species and their older, more primitive ancestors. These scientists believed that newer, more highly evolved species simply drove less well-adapted species to extinction. That is, historically, extinction was thought to result from evolution. It was also thought that this...

LIGHT, RADIATION AND TELESCOPES
As with all waves, light waves have a certain wavelength. This is the distance between the crests, or high points, of two successive waves; or between the troughs, or low points, of two successive waves. Alternatively, we can describe a wave by its frequency, the number of complete waves passing a certain point every second. A long wavelength means a low frequency, because fewer waves pass per second; and a short wavelength means a high frequency, because more waves pass every second. Light, h...
