Toyon Middle School has recently began a mission to make the school a happier place, through respect, compassion, and opportunity and I don’t think it’s going to work for many valid reasons I am ready to share with whomever it may concern. In my twelve, almost thirteen, years of life I have found that kids, and adults alike, only show you what they want you to see. You may think you have obliterate a problem, (concerning people typically) but you have barely scratched the surface. It’s like putting

My View of Reality In my journey in finding the nature of reality, I have encountered philosophers of different views. There is Parmenides who says that the real is being(one) which is permanent; on the other hand, Heraclitus says what is real is becoming which is changing. While Plato who sided with Parmenides says what is real is the world of Forms, the world that reflects our world today. However, Aristotle says that the real are matter and form. Furthermore, Levinas stresses

Every Timely and Ever Timeless There are lots of question in our minds that cannot be answered by human reason alone, our mind is not capable of answering and knowing these uncertainties not because of our lack of willingness to know things but through the minds limitations, it’s a fact that there are things that we know and things that we don’t know, to support this statement, The critique of pure reason according to Immanuel Kant is that to point out a knowledge based on experience according to

Anaximander, famous for his proto-evolutionary theory, disputed the ideas of Thales and proposed that rather than water, a substance called apeiron was the building block of all matter. Heraclitus (around 500BC) proposed that the only basic law governing the universe was the principal of change and that nothing remains in the same state indefinitely. This observation made him one of the first scholars in ancient physics to address the role

of ethics is concerned solely with the various philosophical systems which in the course of time have been elaborated with reference to the moral order. Hence the opinions advanced by the wise men of antiquity, such as Pythagoras (582-500 B.C.), Heraclitus (535-475 B.C.), Confucius (558-479 B.C.), scarcely belong to the history of ethics; for, though they proposed various moral truths and principles, they do so in a dogmatic and didactic way, not in a philosophically

The famous Heraclitus once said, “The only thing constant is change.” Many of us do not like change due to the uncomfortable feeling of the unknown, we enjoy our routines, or lack of confidence in ourselves. Change is an inevitable force, and affects all people, creatures and things. Organizational development is one miniscule aspect of social, corporate change that I find quite fascinating. I never knew what it was founded upon. After reading Burnes and Cooke’s article on “The past, present, and

transmission of knowledge and on a new reading of the common philosophical opposition of truth and opinion. The question about the possible allegorical status of these interpretations is heavily debated. On one hand, it was proven by several scholars that Heraclitus, the author of Homeric problems whose defense of Homer was often taken as the best example of a Stoic allegorical reading of epic poems, was not a Stoic philosopher. On the other hand, there is no consensus

Another issue the Pre-Socratics wrestled with was change and how things appear to change from one form to another. Heraclitus, for example, proposed an on-going process of perpetual change. He said that change is the key feature in

Good to Great Policing: Analysis and Commentary ‘Good is the enemy of great’ Wexler, Wycoff, Fischer and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF, 2007) transformed the concept of Collins’ book ‘Good to Great’ to suit the police. The police Service is what its name says. This is a service oriented organisation with the general public as its customer.
