From time to time, the important of goods is so important, many people realize they must need to fill their daily life with some thing that going to help them. The important is food stock, because without food stock, people can’t live. So, some of them like to buy the good for their live. They usually buy it at store that have sell goods because goods have the limit and it can be empty at several time, like noodle, flour, oil, and some thing that we usually use.

...birth of man kind, the question has been asked “where do we come from”; and since the birth of man kind the answer was simple, someone put us here, a person of higher being, a person often referred to as God. As a philosopher and thinker one can not simply believe in the existence of God, but ask the question why; why does God exist. There are many philosophers who dare to answer the “Why” including Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, and Thomas Aquinas. In answering this question there has developed three main arguments that focus on the proof for the existence of God; the Teleological, Cosmological, and Ontological arguments. The most difficult of the three arguments to understand is the Ontological argument, for it is purely logical proof; it attempts to argue from the idea of God to His necessary existence. Simply put the ontological argument attempts to prove the existence of God by stating God exists because he must. “While from the fact that I cannot conceive God without existence, it follows that existence is inseparable from Him, and hence that He really exists. For it is not within my power to think of God without existence.”(Descartes 135) Simply put, in the entire world there is a greatest, a number one, in every aspect of competition there is someone in which never loses. God must exist because there has to be a perfect being, that is almighty, omnipotent, and which non-greater can exist. And thus this being must “contain more intentive reality than those ideas by which...

...but spiritual, then science can’t prove that he exists, because he can’t be measured. Also, science can’t disprove, because it can’t give a definite answer. In this paper, I will present both sides of the argument and conclude that God must exist. First, I will begin by examining Augustine’s evidence supporting God’s existence. Then, I will lay out the opposing viewpoints. While I present Augustine’s evidence, I will give special attention to his primary argument which is based on the fact that if there is something superior to reason, then it must be God. We are not asked to believe in God on the basis of faith alone, without any evidence, but we can indeed prove the existence of God to a reasonable degree of certainty. Even though we can prove that God exists with a reasonable amount of certainty, I ponder whether or not there is a sound argument for the nonexistence of God. I order to prove anything; we must first start with a foundation that must be accepted as truth. Augustine begins with the platform that we exist. Augustine makes this clear to Evodius by saying “It is obvious that you exist, and this could not be obvious unless you were alive, therefore it is also obvious that you are alive” (33). The mere fact that we can argue is a proof of our existence. Next he asks whether or not we are alive. We must also agree to this because in order to agree or not to agree we must be alive. Now he ask whether or not we understand there two steps to be true. “Do you understand...

...Death is Not Always the Measurement Why do we acclaim a person’s achievements only after the time of their lives? Why is it that the public only opens its eyes to the greatness of a person and his/her achievements after the time of his/her brief existence? Well, I can guess that it is a part of the irony of life as it is evident not only in our nation but in the whole civilization itself. It has become, what it seems to be, a Custom. Whereas a custom based on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a Habitual Action and a common practice among people. Late have we appreciated the importance of the person we have lost. And that is NOT however a good indication of a genuine condolence and appreciation of a man’s life. First of all, we are beginning to create a high standard in order for one to achieve recognition. Through these evident ironies of “reliving the lives of those who lost their lives” we are forming a new perspective among all, that for you to become someone we can pattern our lives with, you must first die and lose your life. That for us to be proud of having you in our same country, you must meet your final destination first. I have here a concrete example of what I am exactly talking about. The untimely death of our former DILG officer Jesse Manalastas Robredo indeed shook not only the Bicol region but the entire nation itself. No one expected that a man of honor would reach his demise in the harsh conditions of the shores of Albay. “I lost a Brother” a statement uttered...

...English 1A/ Conklin MW 11:00 – 1:00 5/1/08 Illegal Immigration Understanding We read: French President Nicolas Sarkozy says, “America did not say, ‘Come, and everything will be given to you.’” Instead, he said, "Come, and the only limits to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent” (qtd. in “Speech,” pars.12). Sarkozy is correct about the American ideal, it has driven millions of people here for the past 200 years. because this ideal is what drives millions of people since the first settlers came in 1492 to America. For some immigrants, this drive for a better life is so strong that they risk and sacrifice their lives in their attempts to attain it. For example, some immigrants are willing to come to America illegally. Norbert Santana, a writer for The Orange County Register, writes “the U.S. Bureau of Labor, the Pew Hispanic Center and the Center for Immigration Studies generally agree there are about 12 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S.” (pars. 18). There is no accurate method of counting how many illegal immigrants actually live in America; however, there are enough here to cause conflicts. Some illegal immigrants come to America for a few years to make money, and then they take their fortunes back home, while others come to live and to raise their families. All of these immigrants are unwelcome by many Americans because they perceive the immigrants illegal entry into the United States (U.S.) as a blatant...

...All humans are put on this earth for their own specific purpose. Some people are destined to be an influence and do great things, while others are here solely to be cogs in the clock that keeps the world turning. Regardless on where one stands in relationship to their fellow man, we all have been charged with civic and moral obligations to those in our inner most circles of friends and family, as well as to our employers. After living approximately a quarter of my life, I believe that I have discovered these duties and moral obligations. They can be found in my religion as a Christian as well as in the Boy Scout law. In attempts to find linearity between different ethical view points and my beliefs, Jane English’s theories about families, and Kant’s virtue ethics can be compared to my moral guidelines. Through the years, some friends choose to come and go as they please, where as others will stay by your side no matter what. Your family will stay with you for life; you did not ask for it, and perhaps they did not ask for you. No matter who you have by your side, it is to these people who you should have the most obligations to. To begin, looking to religion under the Ten Commandments, we see the first commandment instructing a moral obligation to our family: “Honor thy mother and thy father.” This first commandment allows for a number of different circumstances where it may be applicable. When referring to mothers and fathers, sometimes the real mother and father...

...explaining the concept of achieving eudaimonia through living virtuously. Through evaluating his theory of human nature we are given the answers to three of the most common questions humans face today. These common questions are: 1. What should we strive for, and how do we achieve this goal? 2. What makes us special if anything? 3. What tends to go wrong in the pursuit of our goal? Aristotle teaches, “everyone aims, ultimately, for eudaimonia”. Eudaimonia is the Greek term, which means human flourishing. For the ancient Greeks, the term flourishing relates to one being successful in life. “Aristotle realizes, of course, that there are many different opinions about just what eudaimonia is” (to be successful). “In order to sort through these opinions, separating the plausible from the true, Aristotle discerns three preconditions for a proper understanding of eudaimonia”. “According to Aristotle, whatever eudaimonia is, it must be such as to be final, self sufficient, and the end of action”. In order for eudaimonia to be final, it cannot be achieved for the sake of something else. This means that our goal of achieving eudaimonia should not serve to meet another goal. A good example of a non-final goal would be one setting their goal to make a million dollars. However, the only reason they want a million dollars is so they can buy their dream car. Because they only want the money in order to get something else with it, this would be considered a goal for the sake of something...

...School is where students develop skills that help them interpret and adapt to a changing world. The ability to teach skills such as reading, writing, and problem solving, and then apply them to situations in my students’ everyday lives is crucial. Teachers who encourage students to reflect on what they’ve learned and incorporate those skills into their lives develop their students’ critical literacy. And, with this ability to interpret the world around them, students begin to adapt and succeed in a changing world. The student’s journey into literacy begins with a teacher. Social Reconstructionism was founded by Theodore Brameld, in reaction against the realities of World War II. He recognized the potential for either human annihilation through technology and human cruelty or the capacity to create a beneficent society using technology and human compassion. George Counts recognized that education was the means of preparing people for creating this new social order. Social Reconstructionism emphasizes the addressing of social questions and a quest to create a better society and worldwide democracy. Social Reconstructionist educators focus on a curriculum that highlights social reform as the aim of education. For Social Reconstructionist’s, curriculum focuses on student experience and taking social action on real problems, such as violence, hunger, international terrorism, inflation, and inequality. Strategies for dealing with controversial issues (particularly in social studies...

...Literature Review of the Learning Organization The concept of the learning organization is something that all organizations today must use to be able to adapt to today’s every changing environment. Learning organizations tend to have a flat, decentralized organizational structure (Argyris, 1999). There are five components that make up the learning organization: personal mastery, systems thinking, mental models, building shared vision and team learning. The key to becoming a learning organization is to expand our capacity to new ways and patterns of thinking and to continue learning and cultivating new ways of thinking and problem solving. To reap the benefits of the learning concept, organizations must be adaptable and flexible. Senge defines the learning organization as “organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free and where people are continually learning how to learn together” (Senge, 2006, p. 3). Personal Mastery Personal mastery is the first principle and is one of the keys to the learning organization. We must be fully committed to the continual learning process. Personal mastery is something that cannot just be practiced occasionally but has to be practiced daily. Personal mastery defined by Peter M. Senge is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing...

...also a reduction ad absurdum argument which shows that the existence of God could not be denied because to do so would involve adopting an illogical argument. It was formed by St. Anselm (1033-1109), but is still a strong argument for the existence of God today. Anselm firstly argues nothing greater than God can be conceived and secondly, it is greater to exist than not to exist. He next explains that if we conceive of God as not existing, then we can conceive of something greater than God. To conceive of God as not existing is not to conceive of God. Anselm states that it is inconceivable that God doesn’t exist and therefore God exists. Anselm thought that not believing in God is ridiculous, claiming it is better to exist in the mind and in reality than to just exist in the mind. Existence is a predicate of perfection. Therefore God must exist in reality. ‘The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’’ (Psalm 14).Anselm stated that even an atheist must have a definition of God because even the suggestion that God does not exist requires the concept of God. It seemed logical to conclude that to argue that there is no God; even the fool must understand the concept of God. Since the greatest thought must have an equivalent reality to be greater than even the least significant thing in reality for God to be the greatest thought, God must exist. Anselm went on to prove that God must exist in reality too since he exists in our thoughts. Anselm used the analogy of how a painter imagines...

...Domestic Violence and The Relationship with Human Rights in Surabaya Evangeline Josephine Muljono - 34412016 Abstract This paper shows about domestic violence that happens in Surabaya and the relationship with human rights of Surabaya citizens. This paper shows that domestic violence violates Pancasila and its principles because it violates human rights of people in Surabaya. And as part of Indonesia, we must take action about it. There will also be some solutions that are offered to decrease the number of domestic violence in Surabaya. Background Humans are social beings. Every human needs other people to carry out his/her life. This means that every human must gather and work together to build a better life and the key point of working together is having the same goal. Building a team, communities, and organizations are some of the way to achieve the same goal that people have. But besides that, the simplest way to achieve a goal that people have in common is building a family. Family is very important because it is the basic need of human being. Family is a place to build a character of a person. Family is a place to learn how to respect and protect each other. And family will only work out only when the members work together and have a positive relationship to each other. Nowadays, in Surabaya, the meaning of building a good family has been fading. Every year, the number of divorce in Surabaya is getting bigger and bigger. And one of the causes of that is violence...

...October 19, 2010 Reforming Education by Eliminating the Bureaucratic Influence “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” –Nelson Mandela The future of our nation lies in the decisions we make today. Our children’s future will be shaped by the courage to make the difficult decisions that we so often avoid. The United States of America has a broken educational system and we must not succumb to the bureaucratic influence. The strength of our nation lies in our ability to rise to the occasion and do what is in the best interest of our country. Our children deserve the best education and we must put our own self interest aside to make sure we achieve that goal. This country is ruled by politics, but the education of our children should bring all parties together in an effort to enact true authentic education reform. While certain changes might not be the most popular to the parents it ultimately comes down to this simple question—will our children be that much more competitive because of the reform we enact today? If the answer to that question is yes we must move forward without looking back. The question then becomes how do we go about embarking on such dramatic change? And how do we overcome the bureaucratic influence? The Broken and Current Educational System Our current system in many ways is upside down teachers are not rewarded sufficiently and those who try to enact positive change within their schools are at times chastised for...
