...SENSORY PERCEPTIONS 1 SENSORY PERCEPTIONS Craig Miller Henry Simoni-Wastila, Ph.D. Critical Thinking PHI 210 April 17, 2013 SENSORY PERCEPTIONS 2 Abstract This paper will highlight some of the main ideas and thoughts about our senses and thinking process. Most of our thinking is sensory interactive, meaning, our brain is what surrounds our senses. This sensing-thinking connection is so closely interrelated that our thinking often begins in our senses, progresses through additional sensory input, and shapes itself to our sensing habits, that is to say, our thinking can introduce a particular form to the way we sense. SENSORY PERCEPTIONS 3 The power of our senses act as our lenses, amplifiers, particle detectors, and pressure and heat gauges. These sensor are very precise and are need in every aspect of human life.

...N V Professor Bayer English 1202 AO 25 April 2011 Revenge and Forgiveness Revenge and forgiveness are the two underlying factors that are present throughout the entirety of William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet: Prince of Denmark. The play is begun with the death of Hamlet’s father, which Hamlet finds to be unsettling from the start. Hamlet’s uncle Claudius then takes over the throne while Hamlet’s mother then marries his uncle. It is then that the ghost of his father, tells Hamlet that the very man who had become king murdered him in cold blood; the ghost brings the idea of revenge to Hamlet’s mind (Shakespeare 1547). While revenge is constantly on his mind throughout the play, there is also the idea that Hamlet must forgive those who have done wrongs to him or his family; this is shown through his dedication to religion. But in the end, Hamlet’s internal need to seek revenge for his father’s death is so great that he is ultimately unable to forgive his uncle. The play begins with the sudden death of Hamlet’s father, and his uncle Claudius, his father’s brother, taking the throne (Shakespeare 1550). Hamlet’s mother chooses to marry Claudius just days after the death of Hamlet’s father, and Prince Hamlet expresses his disgust through his soliloquies, where he exclaims, “Frailty, thy name is woman!” (Shakespeare 1553). After some time, Hamlet is brought out to a forest by two guards who have claimed to see the ghost of his father. After some deliberation, the ghost of Hamlet’s...

Kufuor Members of the Council of State Members of Parliament Excellencies, Members of the Diplomatic Corps Representatives of Political Parties Captains of Industry and Finance Distinguished Invited Guests Faculty Students Members of the Media Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to begin by thanking all of you who have taken time out of your busy schedules to make the journey to this beautiful and serene campus this evening. For me, it is an honor and a privilege to be delivering my first public lecture as visiting professor at Central University College on a topic that is literally on the minds of most Ghanaians today. What can we do about what appears to be a perpetually declining value of our currency, the cedi? I would like to say from the outset that this subject is very much one of economics and not politics. It is therefore important that we stick to 2 the empirical evidence and data1 in reaching conclusions. I am hoping that at the end of this lecture, some light would be thrown on the issue for a dispassionate and nonpartisan discussion by all stakeholders that would inure to the benefit of Ghana. Mr. Chairman, the exchange rate is a price, just like the price of any good or service...
