...EASTERN AND WESTERN PHILOSOPHY The subject of philosophy has always been divided along two lines of thinking – the eastern and the western. Though each line is concerned with finding the right path to follow, the methodology and teachings of the philosophers from either line of thinking has been distinct and different. This paper aims to examine the ideas of one eastern and one western philosopher – Confucius and Socrates respectively and compare the two for similarities and differences. One of the greatest philosophers from the eastern school of philosophy, Confucius was a just and righteous man, who adhered to ancient Chinese customs, ideals and conformed to the principles pre-laid by ancient sages. Because of his fame as a man of ideals, his counsel was often sought upon by kings. In his advice to emperors, Confucius stressed on the importance of examples. He believed if the emperor lead his subjects by leading an exemplary life, his subjects would follow and the state would be harmonious and prosper. His virtue of ethics was based on a simple rule – do not what you do not wish to be done to yourself. This is a powerful statement that underlines the aim of following virtuous acts – bad is something which you do not want for yourself, good actions are the ones which you wish to be returned to you. Through this statement, people could contemplate the impact of their actions on others and for themselves, decide upon what was right and what was wrong. In his advice to emperors...

...BOA Marketing Unit 1 Chapter 1 An Study Guide By Dinah What does marketing do: Marketing entails processes that focus on delivering value and benefits to customers, not just selling goods, services, and/or ideas. It uses communication, distribution, and pricing strategies to provide customers and other stakeholders with the goods, services, ideas, values, and benefits they desire when and where they want them. It involves building long-term, mutually rewarding relationships when these benefit all parties concerned. Marketing also entails an understanding that organizations have many connected stakeholder "partners," including employees, suppliers, stockholders, distributors, and society at large. 1. Research shows that companies that reward employees with incentives and recognition on a consistent basis are those that perform best. * The motto of Wegmans Food Markets, the Rochester-based grocery chain that has been ranked by Fortunemagazine as the best company to work for in America, states, "Employees first, customers second." The rationale is that if employees are happy, customers will be too. What other marketing type: One desired outcome of marketing is an exchange ; people giving up something to receive something they would rather have. Normally, we think of money as the medium of exchange. We "give up" money to "get" the goods and services we want. Exchange does not require money, however. Two persons may barter...

...Reading Philosophies Tammie Johnson Grand Canyon University: EED 470 December 12, 2012 Reading Philosophies One of the biggest issues that teachers continue to face in public schools is teaching students how to read. With the No Child Left Behind act in place, teachers are being required to use different approaches to get the students more involved in their learning process. In this essay we will discuss two philosophies that are being used in schools today, and those philosophies are Constructivism and Explicit Instruction. Teaching strategies have long generated debate and ideological controversy, especially as to ‘best practice’. Two clear orientations have provided the basis for this controversy: direct (or explicit) instruction, and student-centered constructivist approaches ((Rowe, 2006, p. 1). In order to develop good reading skills, the teacher must first determine which philosophy will benefit his or her students in the classroom. From a constructivist view, the teacher would use a student-centered approach and the students would learn by constructing their own knowledge and meaning through the use of hands-on and problem solving activities. Also from a constructivist standpoint the classroom environment would consist of open discussion about various topics that would build a foundation for reading on what the students already know by sharing their personal experiences through writing personal journals and narratives. Also in a constructivist classroom the student...

...question PHL 335 November 4, 2015 Identity is a word meaning condition or character as to who a person or what a thing is (Dictionary). Most people are not faced with the realization of their identity until they are forced to look at it. Once a person is forced to look at their identity they have an understanding of where they are grouped and placed in the world. There are some that struggle with their own identification, like some Native Americans. There are multiple problems and obstacles of establishing with a Native American identity. The indigenous people of this country have faced many problems regarding their identification. They are questioned on their blood lines and direct relations to a tribe. For instance, “American Indian people currently comprise the only group within the country who are required by the government to furnish proof of their ancestry,” (McIntire, 1986). The government requires this reporting because Native American receive particular benefits that others do not. They have less restrictive hunting and fishing regulations, and some receive financial benefits for graduating high school. The government has established these benefits in attempt to repay the Native American people for their losses during the genocide and boarding school programs in the country’s past. With these ridged rules in place those members who have had relations out of the tribe may not be able to identify because their blood lines are not pure, they are mixed....

...Philosophical Fields Philosophy is a wide-ranging discipline because it deals with various dimensions of human experience. In order to have a better, complete and deeper understanding of philosophy which is broad in nature we should analyze first its components, parts and fields. We study these parts separately, show there interrelationship as well as their relation as a whole. The two philosophical categories are theoretical and practical philosophy. Theoretical philosophy deals with the acquisition of truth and knowledge while practical aims not only to learn the truth but as well as the application of truth or knowledge to benefit and be useful to mankind. Philosophical fields are classified under theoretical philosophy; epistemology-knowledge, cosmology-physical universe, metaphysics-reality, being and existence, ontology- particular existing things, psychology-mind and consciousness, theodicy- God and Divine doctrine. Therefore theoretical deals with knowing things, aiming knowledge or truth and reflects about nature as well as the relation of things. Under practical philosophy include; semantics- linguistic meanings, logic- thinking and argument, ethics-behavior and good life, aesthetics- art and beauty and the last is axiology-values. This kind of philosophy, concern to the things which perceptible and useful. Its goal is not just finding the truth but applying the knowledge gained for the benefit of the mankind.

...Study Guide: Lesson 2 The Importance of Philosophy in General Lesson Overview Having discussed what philosophy is, we now consider why it is important to study philosophy. We will divide our discussion into 2 parts: (1) Why is it important for all persons in general and (2) Why is it specifically important for Christians to study philosophy? We begin, in true philosophic fashion, by examining the question itself: what do mean by philosophy being important and we introduce the idea of the philosophic mindset. We then examine 5 reasons why it is important for all persons to adopt the philosophic mindset. We will end by providing an overview of the different branches of philosophy. Tasks Read and take notes from chapter 2 of Philosophy: Critically Thinking about Foundational Beliefs, “Why is Philosophy Important?” As you read, make sure you understand the following points and questions: * What is meant by the philosophical mindset? A philosophical mindset is an attitude or approach to life that involves regularly examining beliefs to ascertain what they mean, if they are true and what value they have. A philosophical mindset approaches new information critically. It involves questioning, reflecting and considering the meaning, value and truthfulness of what one sees, reads or hears. (Mark W. Foreman. Prelude to Philosophy: Thinking Critically About Foundational Beliefs. 2012) * How does the job/vocation analogy apply to adopting the philosophical mindset...

...Philosophy is known as human knowledge, how we perceive it and how we think clear critical thoughts while seeking the solutions. Philosophy can be our way of beliefs and values, and how we consider making our choices. Although it is said that there is no simple answer to what is the true meaning of philosophy. To define Philosophy one must answer the question where does the word Philosophy derive from. The word Philosophy derives from the Greek. Its meaning is from two Greek words Philein, which means to love and Sophia, which means knowledge or wisdom. Philosophy was invented by the Greeks, they believed that any person who seeks knowledge; is a philosopher. We become engaged in philosophy every day, whether knowingly, or unknowingly. When someone asks us “what do we want for dinner? Or who do we think will win tonight’s game?” we are becoming engaged in philosophy. Throughout life we have all thought long and hard about a decision we made, in doing so we have thought philosophically. It is said that a philosophical question cannot be answered in any straightforward manner; this is a common misconception. Many other misconceptions exist, such as that philosophy never makes any progress. Progress can come in any form of a question not just in the answer like, partial answers, questions unanswered and question clarified and subdivided these are all progress. There are also misconceptions in which one opinion is as good as the next or that truth is relative. To comprehend philosophy...

...After the Sophists, Socrates turned philosophy inward and began to emphasize self-reflection. Rather than simply contemplating the workings of the world, he considered how it is that we attain knowledge about the world. The Pre-Socratics and the Sophists lacked this emphasis on self-examination, which is argued to be the true starting point of philosophy, thereby dooming their investigations to failure (xxiii). Socrates avoided these criticisms by beginning his search for what can be known, “since only that can provide a firm basis for the increase of knowledge” (xxiv). In what follows, I will first argue that Socrates’ philosophy of education is one that should be maintained by all educators. Specifically, I will outline how his admittance of ignorance, his pursuit for self-knowledge, and his use of strategic questioning would benefit any educational framework aimed at promoting 21st century learning. Finally, I will address how living the examined life is beneficial to both the individual as well as the society....

...INTRODUCTION The article “Marketing: philosophy of science and “epistobabble warfare” is a commentary by the author Michel Rod published as a qualitative research in an International Journal, Vol. 12 Iss. 2, pp. 120- 129. Throughout the article Rod articulated his viewpoints on the variety of philosophies involved in legitimizing the science of marketing research and sought to establish his own perspective of what he actually believes marketing research should accomplish. This was stated in his thesis statement that: “Rather than argue one particular perspective, it is this paper’s central thesis that no one philosophical perspective does or should have a monopoly on what makes a useful contribution to our understanding of marketing phenomena. “ Consequently, what Rod proposes is that rather than trying to establish an allegiance to any one particular philosophy one should be free to research, understand and articulate all the questions and results that can ‘contribute meaningful information to the study of marketing phenomena’. In other words, whilst Rod understands that a philosophy might be needed to establish foundations of ontology and epistemology to determine the methodology (POEM): - * Type of questions or problem one attempts to answer in their research * The manner in which these questions should be posed…. * The best methodological approach to shed some light on the particular question(s) being posed or the phenomenon of interest being investigated...

...1 Determine which moral philosophies (as discussed in chapter 6) are most applicable to an understanding of the banking industry meltdown. Explain your rationale. To suggest which moral philosophy is most applicable to this case we must have an understanding of moral philosophies. One definition given is that “Moral philosophy is the study of moral judgments or the value that is placed on decisions about what is right or wrong” (http://www.smallbusiness.chron.com). With this being said, one must understand that there is a difference between moral philosophies and business ethics. When we refer to an individual’s principles and values which help to define and determine what is considered to be moral or immoral, this is known as moral philosophy. Business ethics is usually based on decisions in groups or those made when carrying out tasks to meet business objectives (Fraedrich/Ferrell, page 151). We can use moral philosophies as guidelines or a blueprint to aid in “determing how conflicts in human interests are to be settled and for optimizing mutual benefit of people living together in groups” (Fraedrich/Ferrell, page 151). Moral philosophies also used in the business world to formulate business strategies as well as a way of resolving ethical issues. The moral philosophies used in business decisions are teleology, deontology, the relativist perspective, virtue ethics, and justice theories (Fraedrich/Ferrell, page 153). The first philosophy is teleology which derives...
