answers1: philosophy because it's specific to some particular field...
humanities is non-specific and could be taught 100 different ways.
<br>
<br>
i'm a philosophy major graduate and a humanities MA graduate, having
written my MA thesis in philosophy <br>
<br>
and i'm just offering my opinion here. philosophy beats "humanities"
general courses any day of the week. more useful, looks better on a
transcript, etc.
answers2: I'd say philosophy, it's taken more seriously. Humanities
is almost as bad as general studies, it sounds indecisive. <br>
<br>
Philosophers are indecisive, but at least you've decided something.
Also, I know philosophy grads with real jobs (game designer, think
tank writer, etc). <br>
<br>
Humanities? I think the guy who works at the supermarket graduated
from that six years ago (he has an interview for assistant manager
next month, wish him luck).
answers3: Humanities! Humanities is easy whereas with philosophy you
have to think too much lol.
answers4: Humanities its more diverse whereas philosophy is more of a
concentrated focus.

What can you do with a degree in Humanities?
answers1: Ask that imoortal question that everyone is dying to ask,
"Would you like fries with that?" or "Would you like that
super-sized?" A degree in the humanities that is not backed up with a
practical degree like business, is not certified to teach, or which is
not continued to a masters level prepares you to enter the service
industry. A degree in the humanities is not a practical degree unless
you are looking to graduate school or law school.
answers2: teach. <br>
also, you could always minor in an additional field (buisness, art,
social work, history) and open up more job opportunities
answers3: It all depends on what subjects you are taking and what your
interests are. I am almost finished my BA in English and Geography
and have the option of journalist, librarian, writer, teacher or
editor with English and with Geography any number of jobs in a city
council, or wider governmental groups. Another area in geography is
aid work in underdeveloped countries, which I think would be really
interesting. <br>
<br>
With most university's they offer a leg up into jobs, if you want to
take the opportunities, with exchange programs and further courses
into areas of interest. They also offer post graduate diplomas which
greatly increase your chances of getting a high paying job in your
chosen area. It all depends on what you are wanting to study and what
you think you might like to do at the end. There are a range of
fantastic jobs through doing humanities, some of the better ones I
have heard of are joining the United Nations through taking history
and political studies. <br>
<br>
In saying that the sciences have a highly employment guarantee, partly
due to the foregrounded importance to environmental issues. But you
have to go with your interests, there is no point getting stuck in a
boring degree, that you have absolutely no interest in, feeling way
out of your depth, which leads onto an equally uninteresting job. <br>
<br>
Good Luck!! I'm sure what ever you decide to do will pay off in the end! :)

Art teacher's or art lover's help.?
answers1: You can find an artist as your friend.
answers2: I think you should do some reading, or visit an art museum

many people who love art that are not artists, like art historians, or
dealers. <br>
<br>
I believe you can find out what you like about art on your own.
answers3: Not much of a speller either.

Does art have to be didactic to be art?
answers1: No I don't think it has to be at all . And it does not have
to be, either. There are some really grotesque paintings out there
that are neither pleasurable or nice to look at. But it is still are
none the less and they are famous also <br>
One comes to mind <br>
( The Scream )
answers2: Absolutely not. In fact, "didacticism" in art has been a
diminishing concept since the late 18th, early 19th centuries, though
previously, critics and theorists often had problems with art if it
WASN'T didactic -- that is, if it didn't instruct as well as provide
pleasure. Even so, there were plenty of 16th-18th-century works that
provided pleasure only, and even some from the Greek and Roman
periods. Much art in history has been solely about "delighting the
eye." <br>
<br>
Today, we want art to be visually provocative, to make people think,
but that doesn't necessarily demand that it provide a "teaching
moment," some sort of lesson, which is what didacticism is all about.
Visual provocation need not be traditonally or conventionally
"pleasurable" (there are artists whose work can be described as far
from pleasant but who are certainly provocative), and there are also
fine artists whose work is simply beautiful to see.

Recommended cameras for someone planning on going into visual arts?
answers1: You element out "respected" and likewise you additionally
element out you do no longer choose a "starter digital camera". The
Nikon F5 and Canon EOS-1v can each so often be stumbled on in that
value type. Very clever cameras. yet an option decision probably the
Mamiya RZ67. In that value type, completely best decision and rather
good made. in case you have any style of interest in digital then your
selections finally end up completely restricted on the $600 type. The
Nikon D1x and D2H are the only professional degree digital cameras i'm
able to assume of that are in that value type. in my view, the great
of all the companies in the industry, so a ways as optical passable is
going, is Leica.
answers2: I would go with the Canon EOS Rebel T*i series. More
specifically the T3i, because it is the newest version, but it is a
little bit out of your price range, by $80. My sister has the T1i and
I use it a lot, it is easy to use, takes amazing pictures, focusing
almost perfectly, and there are many different lenses that you can buy
to further enhance your photography experience! Overall it is a really
great camera and definitely worth the money.

Help with my Art Appreciation Class... ways in which visual arts enter your life?
answers1: Any kind of marketing is art. Wether it's vidio,tv,ect.. or
signs. The designd of clothing is art. Much of the older and sometimes
newer archiecture is art. Some home furnishings are art, as well as
the way they are placed-funsjue(?) Instalation art is commonly used in
front and around office buildings. The labels on wine bottles and fine
beer bottles are art, remember the soup can cover by a famous artist?
The original is worth millions now. Then you have art to decorate
walls, Sweaters that have been artfully hand made with incredible
design are textile art. Book covers are art, Photo art in magazines
are art. Some carefully crafted and respectable Graffitti are art.
Good luck. I hope I havn't given too much. Marketing is so all
encompassing, you kind find alot of things that apply.
answers2: Take it step by step. <br>
Like she said: <br>
first think of your life plan- list it all out. <br>
What do you plan to be your career? think about school, friendship,
relations with people, family, hobbies, feelings (such as love,
inspiration, hope, dreams etc.) and things that are intangible, etc.
Also think of events that affected your life. <br>
Then see where you can fit the things you have learned about art (use
art vocabularies that you learned) into your life plan. <br>
<br>
This really really really is a difficult question...but I think if you
put time into it you will be able to think of something. Don't think
with your head, think with your heart. I know it sounds really
cheesy, but if you keep thinking you will get into this 'zone,' and
maybe you'll be able to find the right words for it. <br>
<br>
Sorry if this doesn't really make sense, but I tried my best to explain it. <br>
<br>
I'm just curious, but what other things did you learn in art
appreciation class? this sounds like such an interesting course to
take!! too bad i don't have it in my school. <br>
<br>
p.s. I disagree with her about a smile on a baby's face not being art.

what does visual arts have to do with history?
answers1: Visual arts can be used to show you the past in ways more
realistic such as animation and how things move over time as in stop
motion or time dilation.
answers2: Has everything to do with history. <br>
Art reflects the climate of ideas within which the artist has worked,
that is why art has taken the form it did at various times in history
nd today. <br>
Western art goes through many stages and changed, contrary to
traditional art that's passed down to generations, such the Navajo
sand painting , one example, that may too have died out.

What does Acting really mean?
answers1: True acting is deeper than pretending to be someone else,
it's a transformation from the inside out, where you learn how your
character is supposed to act, think and feel - and then becoming that
person without a conscious effort. If you want to see real acting,
then check out Oscar winners, e.g. Russell Crowe and Denzel
Washington.
answers2: Acting is "pretending" to be something and someone you are
not. You can't always be yourself while acting. <br>
Will Smith said that it is hard for him because he is both an actor
and a rapper. He says being a rapper is all about being true to
yourself, while being an actor is being someone or something you are
totally not. <br>

rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>https://shorturl.im/avcDs</a> <br>
<br>
OMG this is so familiar from Grade 7 last year!! Pretty much the cause
of each act was to gain more taxes. Sugar act placed taxes on stuff
like sugar and molasses. Stamp act raised taxes on stamps, which made
it more costly to get a newpaper or send a letter. Townshend act I
cannot remember. Tea act put taxes on...what else but tea! and
Intolerable Acts, I kind of forget what that was for. Pretty much ti
was all taxation without representation. I guess you could say the
cause of these Acts being created was to gain more taxes, and the
effect was that the colonists became rebellious, and that's where The
American Revolution came into play, and the Boston Tea Party incident.
Hope this helps!
answers2: ok
answers3: Revenue Act Of 1767
answers4: Sugar Act (1764)- First Revenue raising act for Britain. It
was supposed to place a high tax on sugar from the West Indies;
however, the colonies rebelled forcing the crown to back down. <br>
<br>
Stamp Act (1765)- A way of raising revenue for the military
expenditure after the French and Indian War. It required a stamp on
about 50 items. Britain believed it was a perfectly reasonable act.
The colonists saw no need for it, and they felt it jeopardized their
rights as Englishmen. It sparked the ideology of "No taxation without
representation". <br>
<br>
Townshend Acts (1767)- It required the suspension of New York until
they accepted the Quartering Act. They also created duties on colonial
imports, which lead to colonial resistance. <br>
<br>
Tea Act (1773)- It is a tax break on tea. Colonists were not buying
tea due to the Revenue Act, and the East India Company needed money.
The colonists did not see it as a tax break, and it did not go over
well, led to Boston Tea Party. <br>
<br>
Intolerable/Coercive Acts (April 1774) Britain's response to the
Boston Tea Party. The acts closed the Boston port, until the tea was
paid for from the Tea Party. New Quartering Act issued, and forbid
town meetings without governmental consent. <br>

answers7: Revenue Act Of 1764
answers8: Sugar Act: <br>
<br>
The Sugar Act (citation 4 Geo. III c. 15), passed on April 5, 1764,
was a revenue-raising Act passed by the Parliament of Great Britain.
It revised the earlier Sugar and Molasses Act, which had imposed a tax
of six pence per gallon on molasses in order to make English products
cheaper than those from the French West Indies. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Act"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Act</a>
<br>
<br>
Effect on the American colonies: <br>
<br>
The Sugar Act was passed by Parliament on April 5, 1764, and it
arrived in the colonies at a time of economic depression. A good part
of the reason was that a significant portion of the colonial economy
during the Seven Years War was involved with supplying food and
supplies to the British Army. Colonials, however, especially those
impacted directly as merchants and shippers, assumed that the highly
visible new tax program was the major culprit. As protests against the
Sugar Act developed, it was the economic impact rather than the
constitutional issue of taxation without representation, that was the
main focus for the Americans.[6] <br>
<br>
New England especially suffered economic losses from the Sugar Act.
The stricter enforcement made smuggling more dangerous and risky, and
the profit margin on rum, so the colonists argued, was too small to
support any tax. Forced to increase their prices, many Americans, it
was feared, would be priced out of the market. The British West
Indies, on the other hand, now had undivided access to colonial
exports and with supply well exceeding demand the islands prospered
with their reduced expenses while all New Englanders saw the revenue
from their exports decrease. The foreign West Indies had also been the
primary colonial source for specie, and as the reserves of specie were
depleted the soundness of colonial currency was threatened.[7] <br>
<br>
Two prime movers behind the protests to the act were Samuel Adams and
James Otis, both of Massachusetts. In August 1764, fifty Boston
merchants agreed to stop purchasing British luxury items, and in both
Boston and New York there were movements to increase colonial
manufacturing. There were sporadic outbreaks of violence, most notably
in Rhode Island.[8] Overall, however, there was not an immediate high
level of protest over the Sugar Act either in New England or the rest
of the colonies. That would begin in the later part of the next year
when the Stamp Act was passed.[9] The Sugar Act was repealed in 1766
and replaced with a further reduced tax of one pence per gallon on all
molasses imports, British or foreign. This occurred around the same
time that the Stamp Act was repealed. <br>

Stamp Act: <br>
<br>
A stamp act is a law enacted by a government that requires a tax to be
paid on the transfer of certain documents. Those that pay the tax
receive an official stamp on their documents. The tax raised, called
stamp duty, was first devised in the Netherlands in 1624 after a
public competition to find a new form of tax. A variety of products
have been covered by stamp acts including playing cards, patent
medicines, cheques, mortgages, contracts and newspapers. The items
often have to be physically stamped at approved government offices
following payment of the duty, although methods involving annual
payment of a fixed sum or purchase of adhesive stamps are more
practical and common. <br>
<br>
Stamp acts were enforced in many countries, including Australia,
People's Republic of China, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, Israel, the
United Kingdom and the United States of America. <br>

Townshend Act: <br>
<br>
The Townshend Acts (1767) passed by Parliament on June 29, 1767 refer
to two Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain passed in 1767, which
were proposed by Charles Townshend . These laws placed a tax on common
products imported into the American Colonies, such as lead, paper,
paint, glass, and tea. It also granted certain duties in the British
Colonies. In contrast to the Stamp Act of 1765, the laws were not a
direct tax, but a tax on imports. The Townshend Acts also created
three new admiralty courts to try Americans. This taxation was a
result of the cost of the Seven Years War. It was felt that since the
outcome of the war benefitted the colonies, it was only proper that
they bear a small portion of the financial burden. <br>
<br>
The Writs of Assistance gave tax collectors permission to search for
smuggled goods. Often, these smuggled goods were sold in England and
in the European countryside. Therefore creating more income for the
British. The Acts led to outrage among the colonists and helped spark
the Liberty seizure and riots of 1768. The colonists' opposition to
these acts was well stated in the phrase "No taxation without
representation", originally spoken by James Otis. Smugglers avoided
the taxes by importing illegal goods and by organizing a boycott of
the legitimate imports. Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty of Boston
were notable supporters of this boycott. Economic pressure from the
boycott caused several entities in Britain to press for repeal.
Eventually, John Dickinson raised support to repeal the Revenue Acts
by a series of 12 essays entitled "Letters from a Farmer in
Pennsylvania", addressing himself as "A Farmer". As of March 5, 1770,
the same day as the Boston Massacre, the only act remaining was the
tax on tea. The women of the colonies also contributed. They wove
their own cloth and yarn, and helped in the boycott of British goods,
and formed the Daughters of Liberty. The colonists were very outraged
at this act, as John Hancock and other smugglers were negatively
affected. <br>
<br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townshend_Act <br>
<br>
Tea Act: <br>
<br>
The Tea Act was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain (13 Geo III
c. 44, long title An act to allow a drawback of the duties of customs
on the exportation of tea to any of his Majesty's colonies or
plantations in America; to increase the deposit on bohea tea to be
sold at the India Company's sales; and to empower the commissioners of
the treasury to grant licences to the East India Company to export tea
duty-free.), passed on May 10th, 1773. <br>
<br>
Previously, the East India Company had been required to sell its tea
exclusively in London on which it paid a duty which averaged two
schillings and six pence per pound.[1] Because of these duties the
American market was almost entirely in the hand of smugglers. The East
India company would now be allowed to export its tea directly to the
colonies without paying the taxes it was paying in London "to export
such tea to any of the British colonies or plantations in America, or
to foreign parts, discharged from the payment of any customs or duties
whatsoever", and instead only have to pay the Townshend import duty of
three pence a pound.[2] <br>
<br>
This Act was intended to aid the company's finances, which were close
to collapse because it was paying the British government £400,000
pounds per year, war and famine in India and economic weakness in
European markets. Benjamin Franklin proposed to the British government
the idea of eliminating the tax on tea as a way to help the East India
company.[3] Britain expected the colonists to be happy to be paying
less for their tea. Before this Act, smugglers imported 900,000 tons
of cheap foreign tea a year. The quality of the smuggled tea did not
match the quality of the dutiable East Indian Tea of which the
Americans bought 562,000 tons per year.[4] The British government
intended to give the East India Company an effective monopoly on tea
imports to the Thirteen Colonies.[citation needed] The colonists knew
the British wanted to coerce them from boycotting British goods, which
hurt their economy.[citation needed] As a result, many just simply
bought the tea. <br>
<br>
Some colonists deemed the tea "unfavorable". Although the British tea
was more appealing in taste, some Patriots began to drink tea produced
in the colonies. This did not, however, achieve its expected result of
damaging the British tea trade. <br>
<br>
The East India Trading Company was a favored monopoly with a lobby in
Parliament. Ultimately, this act led to widespread boycotts of tea
throughout the colonies, and, eventually, to the Boston Tea Party
where American colonists, believed to be the Sons of Liberty, dressed
up like Native Americans and threw 342 crates of tea from the East
India Company ships Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver into Boston
Harbor. In Britain, even those politicians considered friends of the
colonies were appalled and this act united all parties there against
the colonies. This act, and the retaliatory measures taken by the
British government afterwards, united the colonies even more in their
frustrations against Britain, and was one of the many causes of the
American Revolution. The tax on the tea was a penny, while the average
wage in New England was between one and two schillings per day. After
the Boston tea party, Britain decided to close down the Boston Harbor
until the tea was further paid for. <br>
<br>

<br>
Intolerable Acts: <br>
<br>
The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive Acts were names given by
colonists in the Thirteen Colonies to a series of laws passed by the
British Parliament in 1774. The acts were met with outrage and
resistance in the colonies and were important developments in the
growth of the American Revolution. <br>
<br>
Four of the five acts were issued in direct response to the Boston Tea
Party of December 1773. Lord North said "The Americans have tarred and
feathered your subjects, plundered your merchants, burnt your ships,
denied all obedience to your laws and authority; yet so clement and so
long forbearing has our conduct been that it is incumbent on us now to
take a different course. Whatever may be the consequences, we must
risk something; if we do not, all is over"[1]. The British government
hoped these punitive measures would, by making an example of
Massachusetts, reverse the trend of colonial resistance to
parliamentary authority that had begun with the 1765 Stamp Act. <br>
<br>
Many colonists viewed the acts as an arbitrary violation of their
constitutional rights, and organized the First Continental Congress to
coordinate their response. <br>
<br>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intolerable_acts <br>
<br>
Effects: <br>
<br>
Great Britain hoped that the Intolerable Acts would isolate radicals
in Massachusetts and cause American colonists to concede the authority
of Parliament over their elected assemblies. It was a calculated risk
that backfired, however, because the harshness of some of the acts
made it difficult for moderates in the colonies to speak in favor of
Parliament. The acts unintentionally promoted sympathy for
Massachusetts and encouraged colonists from the otherwise diverse
colonies to form the First Continental Congress. The Continental
Congress created the Continental Association, an agreement to boycott
British goods and, if that did not get the Intolerable Acts reversed
after a year, to stop exporting goods to Great Britain as well. The
Congress also pledged to support Massachusetts in case of attack,
which meant that all of the colonies would become involved when the
American Revolutionary War began at Lexington and Concord. <br>

OMG this is so familiar from Grade 7 last year!! Pretty much the cause
of each act was to gain more taxes. Sugar act placed taxes on stuff
like sugar and molasses. Stamp act raised taxes on stamps, which made
it more costly to get a newpaper or send a letter. Townshend act I
cannot remember. Tea act put taxes on...what else but tea! and
Intolerable Acts, I kind of forget what that was for. Pretty much ti
was all taxation without representation. I guess you could say the
cause of these Acts being created was to gain more taxes, and the
effect was that the colonists became rebellious, and that's where The
American Revolution came into play, and the Boston Tea Party incident.
Hope this helps!

answers3: Revenue Act Of 1767
answers4: Sugar Act (1764)- First Revenue raising act for Britain. It
was supposed to place a high tax on sugar from the West Indies;
however, the colonies rebelled forcing the crown to back down. <br>
<br>
Stamp Act (1765)- A way of raising revenue for the military
expenditure after the French and Indian War. It required a stamp on
about 50 items. Britain believed it was a perfectly reasonable act.
The colonists saw no need for it, and they felt it jeopardized their
rights as Englishmen. It sparked the ideology of "No taxation without
representation". <br>
<br>
Townshend Acts (1767)- It required the suspension of New York until
they accepted the Quartering Act. They also created duties on colonial
imports, which lead to colonial resistance. <br>
<br>
Tea Act (1773)- It is a tax break on tea. Colonists were not buying
tea due to the Revenue Act, and the East India Company needed money.
The colonists did not see it as a tax break, and it did not go over
well, led to Boston Tea Party. <br>
<br>
Intolerable/Coercive Acts (April 1774) Britain's response to the
Boston Tea Party. The acts closed the Boston port, until the tea was
paid for from the Tea Party. New Quartering Act issued, and forbid
town meetings without governmental consent. <br>

answers7: Revenue Act Of 1764
answers8: Sugar Act: <br>
<br>
The Sugar Act (citation 4 Geo. III c. 15), passed on April 5, 1764,
was a revenue-raising Act passed by the Parliament of Great Britain.
It revised the earlier Sugar and Molasses Act, which had imposed a tax
of six pence per gallon on molasses in order to make English products
cheaper than those from the French West Indies. <br>
<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Act"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Act</a>
<br>
<br>
Effect on the American colonies: <br>
<br>
The Sugar Act was passed by Parliament on April 5, 1764, and it
arrived in the colonies at a time of economic depression. A good part
of the reason was that a significant portion of the colonial economy
during the Seven Years War was involved with supplying food and
supplies to the British Army. Colonials, however, especially those
impacted directly as merchants and shippers, assumed that the highly
visible new tax program was the major culprit. As protests against the
Sugar Act developed, it was the economic impact rather than the
constitutional issue of taxation without representation, that was the
main focus for the Americans.[6] <br>
<br>
New England especially suffered economic losses from the Sugar Act.
The stricter enforcement made smuggling more dangerous and risky, and
the profit margin on rum, so the colonists argued, was too small to
support any tax. Forced to increase their prices, many Americans, it
was feared, would be priced out of the market. The British West
Indies, on the other hand, now had undivided access to colonial
exports and with supply well exceeding demand the islands prospered
with their reduced expenses while all New Englanders saw the revenue
from their exports decrease. The foreign West Indies had also been the
primary colonial source for specie, and as the reserves of specie were
depleted the soundness of colonial currency was threatened.[7] <br>
<br>
Two prime movers behind the protests to the act were Samuel Adams and
James Otis, both of Massachusetts. In August 1764, fifty Boston
merchants agreed to stop purchasing British luxury items, and in both
Boston and New York there were movements to increase colonial
manufacturing. There were sporadic outbreaks of violence, most notably
in Rhode Island.[8] Overall, however, there was not an immediate high
level of protest over the Sugar Act either in New England or the rest
of the colonies. That would begin in the later part of the next year
when the Stamp Act was passed.[9] The Sugar Act was repealed in 1766
and replaced with a further reduced tax of one pence per gallon on all
molasses imports, British or foreign. This occurred around the same
time that the Stamp Act was repealed. <br>

Stamp Act: <br>
<br>
A stamp act is a law enacted by a government that requires a tax to be
paid on the transfer of certain documents. Those that pay the tax
receive an official stamp on their documents. The tax raised, called
stamp duty, was first devised in the Netherlands in 1624 after a
public competition to find a new form of tax. A variety of products
have been covered by stamp acts including playing cards, patent
medicines, cheques, mortgages, contracts and newspapers. The items
often have to be physically stamped at approved government offices

abiding electorate choose them to guard themselves b/c there merely
are actually not and by no ability would be adequate law enforcement
officers to guard genuinely genuinely everyone.
answers4: Sadly I think it has-but not necessarily in the way you
mean. I think there are probably some excellent poets out there-I
write poetry, and I belong to a workshop online...I'm not saying there
are dozens of Dickinsons and Millays waiting to be discovered there,
but judging by how much passion I have seen about the art, I believe
there must be great poets among us. It is the appreciation for poetry
that has died somewhat, much to society's loss. There are some
songwriters out there whose work comes close to poetry, but alas, it
isn't common, for sure.
answers5: Definately, because of film and phonograph(even though the
phonograph was invented in or around July 1877) which are better
whitnesses to history than poetry so some got tired of poetry like
some got tired of paintings.
answers6: There's more poetry produced regarding quantity, but as far
as quality goes, well that's a matter of opinion. I don't see as many
poets engaging in extended metaphor or allegory or writing that
stretches the limits of your brain, but there are certainly some very
passionate poets who write a great amount of poetry. It really
depends on what you mean by decline: the product or the numbers.
answers7: Yes,classical poetry at least nowhone cairs any more.People
are turning to rap, thats the only poetry to their ears.
answers8: My mother, age 82 says there is no poetry any more. What we
have now is prose. Poetry has rhythm, rhyme, and meter. It is hard to
do that and still tell a story. True poetry is a lost art.
answers9: Good poetry? Absolutely!
answers10: bitter.sweet.memories <br>
the past is like a dream <br>
a silent wish. a tattered dream. <br>
i've lost myself in the music, the moment <br>
where midnight dreams dwell <br>
and sheeps walk on stardust <br>
a lullaby sings the world to sleep <br>
when the stars in the sky start to cry <br>
so do i <br>
and when the music stops.. <br>
will i forget you <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
this is my poem.....maybe after reading u will think that ''yes,
indeed, the 21st century is witnessing a decline in poetry''.
actual publication of books.
answers2: I think it has people spend too much time watching T.V.
instead of writing ect. However there are still some people out there
creative enough to put their feelings down in words. Unfornatly its a
skill that seems to be decling as technology increases.
answers3: Your reason is thoroughly whacked and incorrect. do not
choose weapons as a protection b/c we've police-rather. there is not
any thank you to have adequate law enforcement officers to make that
assertion actual. genuinely everyone might must be a cop. Violence
isn't in user-friendly terms an American factor. All international
places and races have violence, even those with strict gun
regulations. you're actual that as quickly as you're mendacity on your
abdomen and the different fella has a gun at your head you have not
have been given lots of a guess regardless of a gun. That suggested,
if I had a gun the probabilities of me being in that place to start
with is a lot slimmer. enable me recommend this concept to you. we are
the two strolling down the line while, for in spite of reason, you
confirm you will attempt to mug me. in case you notice a bulge
interior the waist of my pants in the back of my untucked shirt and
additionally you think of that's a gun are you going to mug me or
circulate directly to somebody much less in a position to safeguard
themselves? 10:a million you circulate away me on my own and we the
two walk away alive. My gun has saved my existence and yours and that
i did not even ought to pull it out. attempt being rational on your
arguments to any extent further. additionally, attempt residing in
fact. Criminals have weapons and could not supply them up. regulation
abiding electorate choose them to guard themselves b/c there merely
are actually not and by no ability would be adequate law enforcement

How do you write poetry ? (easy 10 points )?
answers1: hard task. browse in yahoo or google. that will might help!
answers2: I write sad poetry very often these days. Just write it how
ever you want to. I don't really think about it because when I'm sad,
all I'm focused on is getting the emotions out onto my paper. The
normal style I use is just different kinds of rhyme schemes. I'm not
big on free verse but you could do unryhming poetry too. <br>
<br>
The darkness falls, <br>
My heart's a mess. <br>
What is this hole <br>
Within my chest? <br>
Life is hard, <br>
It never eases. <br>
It still goes on <br>
Just as it pleases. <br>
My body shakes, <br>
My mind is screaming. <br>
I'm still awake <br>
While death is dreaming. <br>
<br>
I wrote that just now :) just a quick example. Hope I helped!
answers3: There cant be really set steps for writing poetry/music
lyrics, they should be something that expresses how you feel. You cant
extract that with a guideline.
answers4: The first thing you should do is to select which type of
poetry you want to write. By type I don't mean genre, such as gothic,
dark, foreboding and so on. I mean actual sentence length and
structure. I have explained just two of them below; <br>
<br>
ACROSTIC: <br>
Chosen word written horizontally on left (DEATH) <br>
Letter from chosen word is first letter of each line <br>
Any number of syllables <br>
Any number of lines <br>
<br>
Dreaming into the depths of darkness <br>
Everything is missing or gone <br>
All souls, all flesh is vanquished <br>
The very essence of life is erased <br>
Hear me now and flee this death <br>
<br>
HAIKU <br>
Three lines: 5 – 7 - 5 <br>
Five syllables <br>
Seven Syllables <br>
Five syllables <br>
Generally seasonal <br>
<br>
Death is the season <br>
Complete elimination <br>
Cry your dryest tears <br>
<br>
<br>
These are just a couple of the simplest forms. Just google "types of
poetry" and you will see what I mean; there are over 50 recognized
poetry forms. From there, it is only experimental. Write your heart
and the results should please even you.
answers5: Poetry comes from feeling. It pours from your heart. It's
not something you plan... Just don't think about it. Let your heart
talk, not your head. And be happy :) poetry of sadness is scary.
Suicide is never the answer.

Poetry terms??
answers1: free verse is a poem that doesn' t have to rhyme and doesn't
have to follow a set pattern, I'm not sure about nonsense but it
sounds like a meaning optional type thing.
answers2: True free verse is an old form called "Verse Libre." It is
non-rhyming iambic poetry. <br>
<br>
"Free Form" is a more accurate name for modern poetry. <br>
<br>
I believe in the theory that says "Anything Goes." <br>
<br>
I don't care so much about what style a meal is served in. I simply
want to know how it tastes, and was it filling. <br>
<br>
TD
answers3: difficult matter. look into in yahoo. it will help!

Why are people too stupid to understand philosophy?
answers1: I'm not interested in it.
answers2: It's theorizing and wondering about reality and the
universe. It's a very complex field of study. Some people don't
understand. It's not backed up by logic most of the time though. <br>
<br>
I have more respect for philosophers though because they don't
discredit something just because it doesn't seem realistic. They are
more open minded.
answers3: Philosophy is the horse radish of life
answers4: No, I just have no patience for endless pondering when I
could be getting something done.
answers5: I have a theory that I'm mediocre at it.

How can you compare capitalism to philosophy?
answers1: ...capitalism...bottom line make money for yourself... <br>
<br>
...philosophy...bottom line...self in a world of many changes internal
and externally...dealing with the 5 senses, 4 beings: mental,
physical, spiritual and emotional...how you deal with...beliefs, fate,
will and fact...
answers2: Capitalism is a system of economics. Philosophy is a study
of the way things should be and the way they started. Thus Capitalism
is just another subject within the realm of philosophy
answers3: You can't. Philosophy is a human art form trying to find
what is true. Capitalism is an economic system based on exploitation
and greed and is the antithesis of finding truth.
answers4: capitalism knows the cost, philosophy knows the beauty of life.
answers5: Philosophers throughout history, (Socrates, Plato,
Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes, Kant, Nietzsche, Heideigger, Sartre,
Derrida), have been apologist for lying authorities. <br>
<br>
Capitalism is deception about ownership of companies. <br>
<br>
Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts,
IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do
not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within
false economics capitalism. <br>
<br>
Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires
existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the
21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents,
(with covert fake names and fake backgrounds). <br>
<br>
Actual economics is the persons that are paying the business loans of
companies voting at work in order to control the property they are
paying for. <br>
<br>
Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics,
and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills
(including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.
answers6: A capitalist system works best if even the people without
property accept the fact that the people who do have property have a
right to it. <br>
<br>
This is the notion of "legitimacy." All social systems have some
legitimacy issue, but it is in capitalism that they arise in this
form. If fear of the police and prisons is the only thing that
prevents theft, there will be a lot of theft (when potential thieves
are convinced no one is looking) and the institutions of law
enforcement maybe overwhelmed. On the other hand, if a lot of the
propertyless agree that stealing is wrong, and refrain from it
voluntarily even when no one is looking, the thefts that will take
place will be marginal and can be absorbed. <br>
<br>
Ultimately, legitimacy is an issue pf philosophy. So the implicit
philosophy of the non-wealthy is a crucial issue for capitalism. <br>
<br>
Hope that helps.

What are some good books on moral philosophy / philosophy of ethics?
answers1: Here are some good overviews of moral philosophy/ethical
philosophy <br>
<br>
The Elements of Moral Philosophy by James Rachels <br>
A Companion to Ethics (from Blackwells Companions series) by Peter Singer <br>
Morality: an introduction to Ethics by Bernard Williams <br>
Moral Philosophy: Selected Readings (a sourcebook) ed. by George Sher <br>
Lectures in the History of Moral Philosophy by John Rawls <br>
<br>
Important Dialogues/books/sources not to miss include the following: <br>
Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle <br>
"Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals" by Immanuel Kant <br>
Situation Ethics by Joseph Fletcher (one of the best Christian
ethicists of the 20th century) <br>
A Theory of Justice by John Rawls [If you can find the first edition
it is, in my opinion, better. This is one of the best works on Justice
in the past century] <br>
<br>
There are many many others (I haven't even mentioned Locke, Nozick,
Hobbes, etc.), but if you get one of the above books it should guide
you to other major writings. <br>
<br>
I hope that will help.
answers2: The Bible has a lot to say about the subject. (Some people
think that the Bible is only for believers, but the Bible is a
fabulous piece of literature for anyone.) <br>
<br>
The Road Less Traveled, by Dr. Scott Peck
answers3: I would recommend "Ethics" by Piers Benn

Science, Philosophy and Masonry?
answers1: The study of the sciences all stem from philosophy and need
philosophical input. <br>
<br>
For Masonry - the study of architecture and religion
answers2: Yu could argue that massonry is the building of an
philosophy using science. Masonry throughout the ages has pretty much
been a reflection of philosohpy onto the phisicall world. Churchs
relfected the majority of the population beliefs. the crazy
philosphyies of the egyptions was desinitly refelcted into the
pyramids. the egyptions science was also displayed in the arangement
of the pyramids to the stars. The stars are an extremely hard thing
to calculate science wise. america's cheap housing could be a result
of current weakness in philosophys and ethics. <br>
<br>
Science to build, philosophy to mold, masonry to exist. <br>
<br>
look through history, it will answer your questions better
answers3: metaphorically all of existence is related
answers4: Philosophy has evolved as an exploration of the nature of
being and reality. <br>
<br>
Masonry was originally a secretive transformational system for
empowering the individual to control his experience of reality. (Only
the rituals and symbolism remains of the ancient processes.) <br>
<br>
The sciences are only beginning to make inroads into understanding the
intersection of psychology and physics - being and reality.
answers5: Name the professions associated with an assayer, a
soothsayer, and a brick layer.
