...Rebuttal Article: “Hidden Messages in Water” Shayne B. Kendig BCOM/275 May 21, 2012 Abstract This rebuttal article is about how external environment affects the molecular structure of water (shown as crystal formation) – the controversial experiment was conducted by Dr. Masaru Emoto. He published these results as photograph collections: “Messages from Water 1” (1999), “Messages from Water 2” (2002), “Messages from Water 3” (2004), and “Messages from Water 4” (2008).(Retrieved from http://masaru-emoto.net/english/ephoto.html). Rebuttal Article: “Hidden Messages in Water” Dr. Masaru Emoto is very well-known of his experimentation about water crystal formation. He claims that external environment and human consciousness affect the molecular structure of water as shown in crystal formation. According to him, “We start out life being 99% water, as fetuses. When we are born, we are 90% water, and by the time we reach adulthood we are down to 70%. If we die of old age, we will probably be about 50% water. In other words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water. From a physical perspective, humans are water. When I realized this and started to look at the world from this perspective, I began to see things in a whole new way.” (Emoto 2004) ...

...In Lord Of the Flies, Piggy is characterized as both smart and sensitive. In Lord Of the Flies, by William Golding, Piggy is characterized as both smart and sensitive. When the kids get on the island, Piggy acts like the only one that knows what most things are and what to do. Piggy seems like the only one with common sense. Piggy says, “ an’ this is an island. Nobody don’t know we’re here. Your dad don’t know, nobody don’t know−” (14) Piggy is the only one that thinks no one knows the kids are on the island. This shows Piggy is very clever because he is using common sense and proving his point. Piggy also knows what the shell they find is, and shows common sense towards it, “−a conch; ever so expensive. I bet if you wanted to buy one you’d have to pay pounds and pounds and pounds− he had it on his garden wall, and my auntie−” (16) This quote shows that Piggy knows what the conch is. Therefore, he is characterized as smart. During this same scene, Piggy tells Roger what to use the conch for, "We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They’ll come when they hear us—" (16) this quote tells us that Piggy appears very intelligent because he knows how to use the conch. He knows that the conch is loud enough for everyone on the island to hear it and come together. Piggy is also characterized as very sensitive. He gets bullied a lot and ganged up on by the people on the island. This is why Piggy gets very easily offended by people. The one person that is especially mean...

...and the business as well. When you encourage others to do well, work runs smoothly too. Employees are more likely to enjoy their job and be willing to give their best when they know well what is expected from work and receive feedback. Businesses also have to look into motivating employees through job design, goal setting, performance appraisals, and performance incentives. Let’s look first on how we can motivate and give feedback through job design. Employees usually quit or start lagging on their jobs for various reasons and in order to not get those results we motivate employees to come to work first. Employees should be given responsibilities, and if they have a repetitive task at work that needs to be performed those tasks need to be rotated by the manager. That employee could quit if he get bored of doing the same thing. But on the other side if the company has tasks identification, for example if a person works on fixing computers and has most of the experience on fixing the software, the company should have that person fixing the software what he likes doing and is best at. Not the keyboard or screen other employees that like and have the experience can do it. We also have to give them the opportunity of doing their own tasks in a different way, if they can think about an easier or faster way let them that’s a good way of letting the employees know they are appreciated, and if they don’t do something right we know what they need help on and can coach them. When I was trying...

...This evening, I would like to show you what I mean, as we look at a story in God’s word. John 9 Can you imagine what it must be like to be blind? This man was born that way. How do you begin to describe to a blind man, the simple things we take for granted? How do you begin to describe the colors of autumn leaves? How do you describe the yellow buttercups or the white dogwood blossoms or redbuds in the spring? How do you begin to paint a baby blue sky with white fluffy clouds in the mind of someone who has never seen the light of day? How do you describe to him what his parents look like or what he looks like? I wonder, how many times did this young man sit and wonder, “oh, if only I could see?” If only I could be like everyone else. If only I did not have to rely on others to bring me down town where I have to sit and beg. If only I could see so that I could get a job. If only….. Imagine? I’m sorry, but I cannot. In this story that we have just read, is a man, just like that. He is blind and has always been. Along comes this man, the Son of God, who gives to him the one thing that he has never had, his eyesight. Immediately, some of the folks around town notice. Isn’t this the beggar who was blind? Some said, “yes, this is him”. Others said, “no, it just looks like him.” So, they ask the man, “Hey, aren’t you the man who was blind?” He says, “yes, I am he”. So they ask, “well, how is it that you are able to see now?” So he tells them...

...Social Science Perspectives 1/20/12 Do We Run the World or do the Gods? In the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn I think that there could be multiple thesi and it all depends on how you see or take in what Quinn is saying. The thesis that I believe Quinn develops in this novel is that there are two types of people or living beings in the world there are those who think they run the world and there are those who think the gods run the world. Quinn states that there are two types of people or living beings there are takers and there are leavers. Leavers are a being that believe that the gods run the world. They believe that if they are hungry the gods will give them what they need either by sending wild game or by sprouting vegetation. The takers are a being that believe that they run the world and that they were created to run the world. They don’t want to put the fate of their lives into the god’s hands; they want to be in control. So let’s say that the takers are hungry instead of putting their fate into the gods supplying them with food like the leavers, the takers will grow their own food so that they can have what they want, as much as they want and save as much as they want and don’t have to rely on the gods. He constructs this thesis by looking back at the past history of the world and some of the events that took place and are still taking place. He starts by talking about how for centuries there have been stories of how the takers have been fighting the leavers, Cain...

...As we grow up people expect us to just know what we’re going to be as adults. What we are going to do when you grow up, How we’re going to act like grown-ups. But they never actually teach us how to be grown-ups. High School's should be focusing on more important classes such as teaching us how to do our own taxes, how to keep our credit score up, how to save. Instead, once we learn algebra, algebra two, geometry we have to continue on with pre-Calc and other things we may not even need to know for our future occupations. I think the school board should add classes that teach us basic life skills we will need as adults. Our high school curriculum should just add classes like that into our daily schedules. Or allow students to choose if they...

...for someone to know that something is the case. Is the standard analytic approach to WK the right approach? If not, what would be a better way of doing things? These are the questions I’m going to tackle here. I want to look at some criticisms of SA and consider the prospects for a different, non-standard analytic approach (NA) to WK. Here is one objection to SA: the concept of knowledge can’t be analysed, at least if analysis is understood in the way that (B) understands it.[i] (B) assumes a reductive conception of analysis, according to which analysing a concept is a matter of breaking it down into more basic concepts. Let’s say that a concept C1 is more basic than another concept C2 just if one can grasp C1 without grasping C2 but one can’t grasp C2 without grasping C1. Proponents of SA tend to assume that concepts like truth, belief, and justification are in this sense more basic than the concept knows and that that is why they can be used to specify non-circular necessary and sufficient conditions for knowing. If it turns out that such conditions can’t be given, and therefore that the concept of knowledge can’t be analysed, the net result of combining (A) and (B) will be to make WK unanswerable. If this question is one that we are capable of answering then there must be some other way of answering it. This objection to SA raises the following questions: 1) Is it true that the concept of knowledge can’t be reductively analysed? 2) How should WK be...

His name is Toby, his father and brother were kidnapped he last month and we have reason to believe that they are still alive. This crime matches the M.O of similar kidnappings that have occurred in the past but we can’t know for sure without a statement from the boy. He is the only one who witnessed it happen. This has understandably been very hard on him so don’t push him into it. You need to let him know that time is of the essence and the longer we wait the less likely it will be we find his father alive. “Toby, could you tell us everything that went down the night of your fathers kidnapping” Toby...

...internalism? We have an epistemic obligation to form belifs responsibly and this obligation can only be filled if we can jusify our beliefs. Not only should we have good reasons to hold a particular belief, but we should know what those reasons are. We should know not only that we know, but we should know why we know. • What is the motivation behind externalism? This accors with our basic intuitions concerning most our beliefs. Most people do not always know why they believe as they do but they still believe they are rational in believing as they do. Many beliefs we hold are not capable of being justified from an internalist perspective. The reliability of our memories. Our senses are providing an accurate representation of the world. • How does externalism answer the question of quality control? • How does this presentation suggests bringing internalism and externalism together? There are some beliefs that we are warranted in holding which we do not seem to be able to justify: memories and senses are reliable. We have an epistemic duty to withhold affirming some beliefs without sufficient evidence: discovery for cancer, life on other planets. Both internalism and externalism are necessary. Externalism can incorporate internalism (but not vice versa) Read and take notes of chapter 7 of How Do You Know? A Short Introduction to the Issues of Epistemology, “Do We Need...

...Training a Cost or an Investment How do you view training and development in your business? Do you need to quantify and measure it? Is the value you place on developing your staff and management purely monetary or is there a greater benefit to the individual and to the organisation? In a study carried out by the International Institute of Management Development 80% of respondents were unable to quantify the effect of development. Yet millions of pounds are invested, in management development alone, each year in the UK. It just doesn’t add up. It is engrained in all good businesses to test, measure and know their numbers. So why spend millions without knowing the result. So what is the value of training? Many organisations say they now agree that their work force is their greatest asset and so investing in their development is both necessary and worthwhile these organisations place a high value on training. However, some still see training as a necessary interruption to work and productivity and place very little value upon it. The fact is that the value of training is and always has been difficult to measure. However we find that in organisations which place a high perceived value upon development the real benefits are far greater than in those organisations which do not. Changing the perception of training in an organisation is like changing any cultural belief but it can be done by ensuring that the true value of this work is communicated clearly and ...
