The Universes
I can't tell you what I was just thinking. As in Augustine's view of intuition, the associations I registered were too free of any repeatable limitations for me to verbalize the experience. Perhaps these associations were of diverging thoughts that have not departed my mind. The most handy example of something similar is the simultaneity of sense perception. Each sense perception is specialized and in that respect removed from the whole and yet also registered in the same moment. In the thought I'm speaking of there were different concerns, we might even say a universe of concerns none of which I can fully express. This complex event might be considered incidental in regard to what I have learned to value. I am now attempting to acquire a greater appreciation of something I cannot verbalize, meaningful associations I can't excite a recurrence of through keying words into a computer.
Semantic sensation is never original. It must always be familiar. Language does excite original sensations, as in the sound of a speaker's voice, but the semantic experience itself is never sound or vision, or any other sense perception of the material universe. Original experience of semantics would be like immediately comprehending a language we never heard before. This kind of appreciation is possible with music. Music we've never heard before can be immediately appreciated as music, but semantics, like memory, must always be a response to what is already familiar.
My concern is how to proceed. If I can only register verbally what has already become familiar through cognitive means, my work with language is not directed toward spurring meaning for the first time. Has there ever been a first time in regard to comprehending language? Is anything we read utterly strange, or is it rather strangely familiar? We may read something and make no sense of it, and later return to it and find familiarity as if we always should have been able to comprehend this particular passage. This parallels how we initially acquire language through a growing familiarity with the effects of verbal expression. We learn to fortuitously repeat limited effects. We grow to appreciate what we had already experienced albeit as incidental and free of the constraints of communication. Infants can distinguish between phonemes their parents, having learned a particular language, can no longer tell apart (Pinker 264), and meaning is similar in this respect. To understand how this can work we must put aside the notion that language makes meaning.
James W. Sire is a Christian author with a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri. He teaches English, philosophy, theology and other courses at many universities. It is no surprise that he published a book about different worldviews. His most popular book is The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog that was published in 1976. The Universe Next Door has sold over 350,000 copies and has been translated into 19 languages. The Universe Next Door describes and discusses eight different popular worldviews.
How can it be that something so uniquely human and commonplace in our everyday existence as language, could transcend the limits of our immediate understanding? We all know how to speak and comprehend at least one language, but defining what we actually know about that language an infinitely more demanding process. How can a child without previous knowledge of the construction and concepts of language be born into the world with an innate ability to apprehend any dialect? Mark Baker, in his book The Atoms of Language, seeks to address these unsettling questions, proposing as a solution, a set of underlying linguistic ingredients, which interact to generate the wide variety of languages we see today.
Europeans, for centuries, have been obsessed with the idea of conquest. It brings a person honor and glory to fight to defend the homeland, and to conquer new lands to expand empires. We think of ourselves as Americans today, but during the country’s conception, we were still European, and this idea was brought along with us. This allowed people to justify the idea of manifest destiny, and adding a religious element to that dream was just icing on the cake in terms of getting the population geared up for westward expansion. The term “Manifest Destiny” became “first and foremost a call and justification for an American form of imperialism.” (Scott, “Religious Origins”) The Americans believed that obtaining that land was their God-given right, no matter who was living there previously.
In order to understand manifest destiny one should come to an understanding of the origins of the term and what it meant to Americans. In the middle of the nineteen century Americans were eager to move west. They had wanted to see the span of the United States from the Atlantic Ocean to the pacific. Americans felt that open land meant opportunity and potential wealth. They also believed that America was destined to be a great nation and by moving west, they could share their unique form of government, and the freedom it represented. This concept of discovery was not new; Europeans had believed they had a right to claim their discovery, and thought of the new world as a wilderness waiting to be tamed. The Europeans however found out that this land was not empty, and was home to countless American Indians. Indians were people who hunted, farmed, and raised families on the land. These native residents disagreed with this claim, on their land, and viewed the land as theirs. In the beginning Americans had a different idea, “The whole continent of North America appears to be destined by divine providence, to be peopled by one nation, speaking one language, professing one general system of religious, and political principles, and accustomed to one general Tenor of social usages, and customs for the common happiness of them all, for their peace and prosperity, I believe it is indispensible that they should be associated in one federal union” (John Quincy Adams).
Part I: The Edge of Knowledge Chapter 1: Tied Up with Strings This is the introductory section, where the author, Brian Greene, examines the fundamentals of what is currently proven to be true by experimentation in the realm of modern physics. Green goes on to talk more about "The Basic Idea" of string theory. He describes how physicists are aspiring to reach the Theory of Everything, or T.O.E. Some suspect when string theory is completely understood that it might turn out to become the T.O.E.Part II: The Dilemma of Space, Time, and Quanta Chapter 2: Space, Time, and the Eye of the Beholder In the chapter, Greene describes how Albert Einstein solved the paradox about light. In the mid-1800's James Maxwell succeeded in showing that light was actually an electromagnetic wave.
While 3D Printing has been around for many decades, patents had not allowed the booming technology to grow to its full potential, now with these patents becoming old and coming to an end, will allow one of the hottest technologies on the market to reach levels that many did not think were possible. So now with the major patents that have limited the 3D printer have fully expired or about to expire will give this industry the push they have needed. With the major one being that now once a product is made from a 3D printer it can now be sold as “finished” and ready for the consumer. While in the past this was not possible.
Industrialization of the United States was in full swing by the 1840s. Which evidenced that the continued expansion of the states was an issue and the idea of a Manifest Destiny was of major importance. John L. O’Sullivan once stated, “Our Manifest Destiny is to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions” (America: A Narrative History). The idea of a Manifest Destiny originated in the 1840s by the Anglo-Saxon Colonists to expand their ideal civilization and institutions across North America to become a super nation. There were conflicts during this expansion, but they only led to major successes that molded the states into the superior country it is today. The Manifest Destiny advancement was a great catalyst that encouraged the progress of liberty and individual economic opportunity,(“Manifest Destiny”). Motivation and desire for expansion are the primary reasons that America is a successful nation and this kind of determination must continue for America to maintain the success gained many years ago.
During Augustine lifetime, he thinks about everything in his life. Further, he also tries to make sense of his
The 3D Printer can be a bad thing in other people's opinions because it can cause people to illegally print out guns or even side effects that can happen with the Printer. One major thing is that the 3D Printer can cause is that it can use up a lot of electricity that can cost you a lot to pay for your electric bills. This can cause you to waste your money for your future and having not enough money to pay for your other bills because of the use of 3D Printers. “3D Printers consume about 50 to 100 times more electrical energy” (Gilpin). 3D Printers have a lot of parts in the machine to make the Printer work properly, which can also determine how much power it has to use when using it, and if you Printer is complex, this can use a lot of energy which can cause you to rise up your electric bill by a bunch which can cause
... Acknowledging that natural fibers are not always the better option, they present viable reasons as to why they are useful. They are soft and breathable, yet strong at the same time.
If feelings are focused on an intense symbolic area, objects might yield remarkably different or even contrary emotional experiences. The same ideal may elicit fascination or aversion.
...ained briefly in this report. In conclusion, 3D printers will be used to begin in many areas. Despite concerns of users and governments about gun producing, many companies are already using the technology to repeatedly produce complex components of their design. As I mention, medical and automotive and aviation industries is commonly used techniques for develop their design. As 3D printers become more affordable, the small scale manufacturing will impossible to avoid use this technology which obtain them a change against large supply manufacturer for many types of product. Consumer units for home use will even become feasible, allowing end users to simply download a design for the product which they require and print it out. Because of its advantages, it will became more popular in recent year. I guess that everybody will have a 3D printer in future in their home.
The purpose of obtaining this knowledge is to show a direct relationship between the processing conditions of meat products and their bacterial allotment. If the sources of the meat, or meats being processed, are exposed to unsanitary conditions, then there will be a higher level of bacterial infection amongst the products. As found by McGinnis and Gill in 2004, once...
Still today, it is the commonly held belief that children acquire their mother tongue through imitation of the parents, caregivers or the people in their environment. Linguists too had the same conviction until 1957, when a then relatively unknown man, A. Noam Chomsky, propounded his theory that the capacity to acquire language is in fact innate. This revolutionized the study of language acquisition, and after a brief period of controversy upon the publication of his book, Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, in 1964, his theories are now generally accepted as largely true. As a consequence, he was responsible for the emergence of a new field during the 1960s, Developmental Psycholinguistics, which deals with children’s first language acquisition. He was not the first to question our hitherto mute acceptance of a debatable concept – long before, Plato wondered how children could possibly acquire so complex a skill as language with so little experience of life. Experiments have clearly identified an ability to discern syntactical nuances in very young infants, although they are still at the pre-linguistic stage. Children of three, however, are able to manipulate very complicated syntactical sentences, although they are unable to tie their own shoelaces, for example. Indeed, language is not a skill such as many others, like learning to drive or perform mathematical operations – it cannot be taught as such in these early stages. Rather, it is the acquisition of language which fascinates linguists today, and how it is possible. Noam Chomsky turned the world’s eyes to this enigmatic question at a time when it was assumed to have a deceptively simple explanation.
The 3D printer is a huge breakthrough in the name of science. What has only been seen in science-fiction movies has become reality. Some people have taken this technology and made remarkable breakthroughs for mankind. Others have taken a great technology and used it to fulfill selfish desires. From sweets to guns, the uses of the 3D printer are endless. As the wise Uncle Ben from Spiderman said, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
