First Reflection
Unquestionably, negotiation occurs almost everyday of my life. Without realizing, I happened to be involved in a process where interested parties resolve disputes while bargaining for individual/group advantage and attempt to craft outcomes. When two people have the similar objective with different mindsets, we tend to compromise the differences. However, conflicts arise if incompatible goals are reached. This happens to me depending on the cooperation and competition situations that occur in generating “creative tension”. Cooperation

The yellow sweater I thought that this story was a good depicture about the real world and how people really act. People are too quick to judge people when they should really take a good look at themselves and see that they aren’t much better than the people they look down on. The fact that even in the 50’s the idea of a man cheating routinely on his wife was an “acceptable” act. Nothing has

Columbine - Reflection on Violence
Columbine - Reflection on Violence While watching a commentary, on a popular television program, I felt nauseous1 after learning of torture students and teachers endured at Columbine High School in Little Town, Colorado.

Teachers and students encountered hours of torture as two fellow students walked their campus halls on a shooting spree. To

Descartes’ Philosophy
Descartes' "evil genius scenario" provides the possibility for the existence of an evil genius that is in control of our world in place on an omnipotent god. By in control, I mean that he would in some magical way compose our lives by his own will, thus making any certain knowledge about material objects impossible. This scenario presents some real questions with Descartes' argument because it basically completely rules out the possibility of any god.

Mircea Eliade’s viewpoints have come under heavy scrutiny because of a suspected leaning towards fascism. But for this

Descartes’ Meditations Review
Descartes' Mediations On First Philosophy exemplifies an epistemological shift from the belief in spiritual phenomena to a more secularized approach of reason. Even though Descartes was a devout Catholic, his philosophy focused on the perception of the universe from a mechanical standpoint. Descartes advocated reason over faith in the pursuit of the truth. Much of his philosophy helped lay the foundation of what was to become scientific method. This is evident in what has become

Rene Descartes
While Rene Descartes' method of finding truth was innovative and scientific, his proofs for the existence of God were ultimately very weak. In the Discourse on Method, Descartes outlines his scientific method at length. He succeeds in his desire to find true and innate ideas. However, the arguments posited for the existence of God by Descartes in the Meditations are not entirely convincing. It seems strange that if the ideas on which he makes his

OPPOSING DESCARTES: PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF HANDS Do I have hands? This question seems to follow with: do I have a body? If I do, then how do I know that I have them?

Descartes and Newton
Descartes and Newton The old saying "great minds think alike" is not just an old saying. It was at least partially true concerning the minds of Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton.

Each scientist based his beliefs on different mind sets. The similarities between Newton and Descartes are found deep in the foundations of their

The Important Role of Women Reflected by the Da Vinci Code
