disproportionately high, accounting for up to 45% of diarrhoeal deaths in Brazil, Bangladesh and in several African countries (Prescott et al.,2002). Children's health is affected by ecological conditions as well as by their family's socioeconomic status (Timaeus and Lush,1995). Socioeconomic issues do not directly affect the risk of diarrhoea; rather influence family behavior, which modify the child's spotlight to pathogens and susceptibility to infection (Van Derslice et al.,1994).

Atlantis, a likely mythical island nation mentioned in Plato’s dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias,” has been an object of fascination among western philosophers and historians for nearly 2, 400 years (National Geographic). Atlantis has been a myth and legend for many centuries. This research paper will inform readers about the beginning stages of the mythical “lost city” of Atlantis, how it “supposedly” sunk, and if people are still searching for it to this day. Also the search for Atlantis resembles

the earth is a sphere are not convincing ; however, his hybrid argument combining a priori and empirical claims based on his theory of falling succeeds in displacing Pre-Socratic Cosmology and empirically grounding the creation cosmology of Plato’s Timaeus. Aristotle inherited a tradition of cosmologies espoused by the Presocratics beginning with Thales, “The Earth floats on water, which is in some way the source of all things” (Kirk B13) . The tradition continues with Anaximenes, “The earth is flat

(nothing) The lost city has no records of existence other than the dialogues described by Plato a philosopher. Timaeus and Critias only describe it as an advanced place in his time period. “ A society of the past that enjoyed an abundance of natural resources, great military power, splendid building and engineering feats, and intellectual achievements far advanced

Some books are more of “Atlantis didn’t exist” and some are more of “Atlantis did exist.” The answer is right in the books written by Plato. He wrote two books which are “Timaeus” and “Critias.”Plato wrote the books around 330 B.C. In these books he explains Atlantis. By this I mean, he gives a better understanding of what was going on when he went to Atlantis. For example, how it looked, what it was like, and the people.

Atlantis , one of the most fascinating enigmas of the past, has never ceased to fascinate and make the world dream. 2400 years after this myth was built by the Greek philosopher Plato, researchers revived the ancient legend of this "lost paradise" myth. The origin of the myth goes back of course to Plato who describes the Atlantis as a civilization barbaric, greedy luxury and whose decadence provoked the anger of the gods who, punishment, caused a cataclysm that engulfs the city. But, researchers

Ancient societies and civilizations were all rife with scientific pursuits and to come out and claim that the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians and their efforts were unscientific when compared to the works of the Greek Presocratics would be unjust. Although their cultures and religions were different, their scientific way of thought shares strong similarities. In terms of ancient scientific thought, the Greeks, Babylonians and Egyptians all shared the aspects of heavy influences of spirituality

The Four Gospels The word 'gospel' means good news. There are four gospel accounts in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The first three gospels are sometimes called the 'synoptic' (same view) gospels. This is because they each cover teaching and miracles by Jesus that are also covered in another account. John, writing later, recounts Jesus' other words and miracles that have a particular spiritual meaning. All four gospels present Jesus as both the Son of God and son of man. They

believed to be set in the Atlantic ocean, which is a proven fact. In between North America and Africa, and said to be larger than the two Islands: Asia Minor and Libya. How it became a legend, Plato (242-328 B.C.) mentioned it in one of his dialogues, “Timaeus.” He described it as a powerful and advanced kingdom that had sank due to earthquakes in around 9,600 B.C.. Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece, and the founder of the Academy in Athens which was the first institution of higher learning in
