Zeno was a pre-socratic greek philosopher of Magna Graecia and member of the Eleatic School founded by Parmenides. Magna graecia, meaning “Great Greece”, is the name of the coastal areas of southern Italy on the Tarentine Gulf. The Eleatic School was a pre-socratic school (the period of the Ancient era of philosophy refers to Greek philosophers to being active before Socrates) of philosophy in the early fifth century B.C. in the ancient town of Elea.
Philosophy is a study of fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence. It is the study of theoretical basis. Zeno was most known for advance numbers of inventive paradoxes. His paradoxes seem to have puzzled, challenged, inspired, infuriated, and amused philosophers for over two nillannias. He had 40 original versions, but only three were well known and remembered. The most famous are the paradox of achilles and the tortoise, the arrow paradox, and the dichotomy paradox. A paradox is the reasoning for acceptable premises, leading to a conclusion that seems senseless and logically unacceptable. Later proving to be well founded and true.

He developed arguments to show that the common sense notion of reality leads to consequences. Zeon thought that change and plurality (the fact or state of being plural) was mistaken and tried to prove it with his paradoxes. With this zeno had created one of the first paradoxes which are examples of the methods of proofs. He was skilled at arguing both sides of an argument. Zeno didn't really add anything positive to the teachings of parmenides, but devoted himself to argue the views of his
Philosophy in Ancient Greece greatly influenced future civilizations and generations to come. The definition of Philosophy is lover of wisdom. Socrates who lived from around 470 B.C to 399 B.C was known as the “father of philosophy”. Socrates taught the people of Greece to question everything. One of his most famous quotes is in Document 3 which states, “The unexamined life is not worth living”. Socrates suggests that people who don't analyze, question, or examine their lives, beliefs, ideas and culture they do not deserve to live. The Socratic Method is used ask and answer questions with critical thinking. Socrates inspired many, even after his execution in 399 B.C where he

If your neighborhood was flooded, how fast would you want the government to respond? Hours? Days? Weeks? Well, for victims of Hurricane Katrina it was months. But why? One of the purposes of the government is to serve the people. There was different government groups at the sites of the aftermath of Katrina, but many of them didn’t even bother to help the victims in need like the military, police, and national guard. In the book “ Zeitoun” written by Dave Eggers we see that a victim of the hurricane had more of an authentic human response than the government did. Before the hurricane hit there was a mandatory evacuation, but many people stayed behind for different reasons. The aftermath of Katrina led to even bigger issues than need be because
The seven-mile world had its center in Crotonoa Park (Bronx, NY) and extended to create a seven mile radius around this park. Crazy Legs described hip-hop’s four elements as: DJing, MCing, B-boying, and graffiti. Joseph Saddler, later named Grandmaster Flash, became known as a DJ because of his style. He focused on showmanship, such as scratching with his elbows and flipping around. He later added MCs to pump up the crowd because no one would listen to just the music without words. Soon he became more liked than Kool Herc and Bambaataa. B-boying was originally created by kids too young to get into clubs, but then spread out of homes into the streets. It soon became part of gang life and was a mixture of martial arts and dance made to intimidate
Meno 's paradox is a very prevalent paradox in the area of philosophy. It arises during a conversation between Socrates and Meno in the book Five Dialogues. Meno and Socrates are speaking about what virtue is when Meno raises an interesting point, “How will you look for it, Socrates, when you do not know at all what it is? How will you aim to search for something you do not know at all? If you should meet with it, how will you know that this is the thing that you did not know?” (p. 70). In simple terms, Meno is asking Socrates how he will
Pátzcuaro: Pátzcuaro is a small colonial town located in the Mexico city of Michoacán. It is reported that the town was founded as early as 1320 AD and was the capital of the Tarasco people for about eighty years. After the death of Pátzcuaro's king, Tariácuri, the town became a member of a three-part alliance, also including Tzintzuntzan and Ihuatzio. This league was distinctively known for its ability to defend its territory from Aztec onslaught. Nevertheless, the league welcomed the arrival of Spanish forces in 1522 which was the beginning of the Tarasco people's demise. In 1529, the Spanish forces returned under the rule of a land-hungry conquistador named Nuño de Guzmán who brutally ruled over the indigenous inhabitants there ("History
The term "gaucho" broadly translates into the English word cowboy. They are the cowboys of the South American countries. However, according to an article titled What is a Gaucho? by Rease Kirchner, the author points out that a gaucho is most definitely not the stereotypical cowboy that comes to mind with tight blue jeans, cowboy hats, and country music. A gauchos attire is unique. They are very traditional with their clothing styles, starting with the thick wool poncho worn. Gauchos pants were called 'bombachas' which are described as very strong pure cotton pants; they are made specifically to keep strong while horse riding. Another staple to a gauchos outfit are their wide brimmed hats, or every so often, they wore berets. On their feet,
Everything has been done before, and the trick is to craft the sound and present it in a new light. When scrolling through the world of music the genre "garage blues" popped up in association with the band Le Zets. My assumption led to a universal sound of covers and repetitive noises. Never assume. The first time I heard Le Zets, the only thing that came out of my mouth were the words, "holy shit."
It is thought that Meno's paradox is of critical importance both within Plato's thought and within the whole history of ideas. It's major importance is that for the first time on record, the possibility of achieving knowledge from the mind's own resources rather than from experience is articulated, demonstrated and seen as raising important philosophical questions.

Beginning with my first psychology class, I have connected with Abraham Maslow?s ?hierarchy of needs? where self-actualization is at the apex. Beyond this firm internal conviction that self-actualization is the ultimate goal, I have struggled with exactly how each of the various schools align themselves with existence beyond the self to attain the self-awareness that I believe Maslow was intending. In researching various
WEEK 5 PICO(T) QUESTION 1Good Afternoon Class and Dr. Stephenson,In and out of the hospital high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is crucial to survival of victims of cardiac arrest. This research topic will focus on implementation of in hospital chest compressions in CPR. It will be based on a comparison of the efficacy of manual compressions and automated chest compressions in relation to survival outcomes. The potential attributes and short comings related to manual and automated chest compression will be reviewed. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have to be prepared to implement CPR during a cardiac arrest code. In consideration that patients in the ICU are often only marginally stable it is important that ICU nurses are familiar with their patient’s recent and past medical histories.
Zsa Zsa Gabor is the grandest of all actresses. She is considered to have pioneered the concept of being famous just for being famous. She is her own personal brand and every actress (and even actors) in the world want to be like her. Her name is often uttered in theater classes and acting workshops.
Before discussing the idea of paradoxes, I will first describe what a paradox is. A paradox, strictly speaking, is when a theory with logical premises leads to the creation of two logical, but contradictory, conclusion. This definition of paradox works, but is very limited in scope of what we can classify as a paradox. Thus modifying the definition of a paradox to mean an argument that leads to wildly different conclusion… . Using this understanding of paradox, I will give a famous example of a paradox thought up by the Greek philosopher Zeno.
