Continuity of Personal Identity
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the “continuity of personal identity” and the ways by which such a term may be defined and explained in the context of an individual person’s development. It is essential to consider the philosophical nature of the question “What makes you you?” and move forward from that point. Life allows for both continuity and discontinuity. Consider the example of a seed and a plant. Once the seed becomes a plant, it is an entirely different entity but does that mean it has no continuity of any kind with the former seed and its body? These are the types of questions that also apply to human beings. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Critical Thinking And Intellectuals In Contemporary Society
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, the author advocates the presence of philosopher-kings; in fact, he claims public service is the duty of those who have (metaphorically) ascended to the sunlight, admonishing those intellectuals of his time not to turn their backs upon those who still reside within the darkness, inasmuch as their responsibility is to teach and to lead. The type of critical thinking Shaw describes clearly corresponds to Plato's Allegory, which is to get back to the very basics of human interaction. The role that critical thinking plays within contemporary American society is one that is quickly dwindling in social importance; indeed, the role it should play is one that is as integral to human survival as breathing is. In American popular culture today, the past thirty years has demonstrated an anti-intellectual tendency that appeared to have reached its peak approximately ten to fifteen years ago. When one considers the reason(s) for this drastic change and the impact anti-intellectualism has had upon government and public institutions, one can easily surmise that technology has played a significant role.

Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe": Important Contexts
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The social and philosophical context that resides within the literary masterpiece of Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" exemplifies the nature of individualism and how this notion is often misconstrued within society's confined boundaries of human behavior. To be unique within a world of sameness is a quest sought by many people; however, it is by way of such an objective that one becomes labeled as selfish and intolerant of commonly accepted methods. This negative connotation of individualism – which is to maintain an independence from the norm – has cast an even darker meaning upon striving to achieve one's own distinctiveness. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
