The Real Thing

John Locke brings up that there are two types of essences: real and nominal. There are some issues and flaws with Locke’s concept of real and nominal essences. The concepts of Locke’s ideas of real essence that have issues are individual real essence and the relationships between real essence, internal constitutions, and substances. Simple ideas and modes are different types of ideas that Locke talks about and others have problems with. Real essences are what make up a substance, but it often seems

doing - and we see the storm as the backdrop to where the birds live. The James Stephens poem is written from the point of view of someone watching night fall, from inside a house. A main part of what the poem is about is how 'night' is an outside thing, and the inside reality where James Stephens observes it is different - and partly protected from night. She could not put my candle out! The

five of his book, Russell defines appearance as things seem to be and reality as what they are. He further illustrates the distinction between these two words by describing the difference between a painter and a philosopher. The painter is only concern with what things seem to be. He is not worried about in the layers of a table, or what makes up a table. He only need to capture the light hitting the table, the colors of table, etc. He only sees things as they appear. This is completely different from

thinker, you automatically analyze things, and you enjoy observing patterns and trends. Your primary goal in life is to make important things happen.” That was the feedback that I received after completing the lengthy MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test years ago. At that time, I had no idea what, making important things happen, meant to me. Through the exploration of different fields, from academic research to real world experiences, I discovered a huge passion for real estate development and investment

realistic person. He has many characteristics of a real person. Acts the same, and does most the same things. He is involved in a relationship, he has a best friend, and he goes to parties. All of these are real life situations that people are involved with. Romeo is involved with these certain situations and others during the whole story, and that is why I believe that Romeo would be a real person. The main reason to why Romeo could be a real person, is that he is involved in a relationship. This

appetitive power, and verum that it corresponds to the knowing power. The term verum ultimately expresses the common aspect of real beings which the term being does not express and the aspect is that any being corresponds to the knowing power of the soul. From this argument, two points are confirmed. First, the term verum corresponds to a real aspect which belongs to a real being. Second, the aspect of being which verum expresses is not special but common to all beings. The first element is the reality

I have always been interested in real estate from a very young age so when I was assigned this project, I knew exactly what I wanted to research. I grew up witnessing my parent’s incredible business transactions and over hearing my dad’s conversations he had with his clients. The dynamics of business have always been intriguing. These deals sure can get intense and I believe that is one of the reasons I am so interested in it. Starting at about ten years old, I knew I wanted to work for myself. I

shown similar theories to the discussion from the ideas presented by Plato. Unlike Plato who argues that we cannot determine what is true or real based on experience, Locke argues that all knowledge which we use to determine what is true or real comes from experience. And similar to Plato, Berkeley argues that only our ideas are the only thing that is real. Locke also argues in his essay that knowledge is not something people are born with. Locke differs from Plato, because Plato believes we do

shows is a very accurate portrayal of the real world. On the other hand, some of the things are real or based on something off the real world. Shows like “First 48,” “COPS,” and the movie “End of Watch” show the audience a glimpse at what real detective work might be like. My father works for Homeland Security; which would make him a direct source of how the real world is. I believe that “First 48,” “COPS,” and “End of Watch” do an effective job of depicting real world detective/ police work. This is

what you want to become. Daydreams can be a positive thing if they are about something meaningful, but they can also be a negative thing if you are having them during class. In the short story, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber, Walter is isolated from the rest of the world in his real life and is timid. In his imaginary life, on the other hand, Walter is the complete opposite as a courageous and intelligent person. In his real life, Walter Mitty is incapable and insecure. For instance
