Confucianism is highly advocated in China. In stead of saying Confucianism is a religion, I think Confucianism is concepts of state of moral idea. It provided spiritual and intellectual knowledge to the Chinese. It taught us to be self-ruled and to be virtuous person. The Chinese believed it is a virtue to follow Confucianism.
The prime mover is the thing that created everything and exists by necessity, therefore has to exist. It is perfect and cannot change, as the ability to change would mean that it is not perfect. This also means it is pure good as a lack of goodness means you can do better and doing better would require change. The prime mover cannot interact with the physical world and has no plan for us, going against the idea of God, the prime mover most people believe in. The prime mover is the unmoved mover, this is similar to the domino effect were someone (the prime mover) nocks over a domino causing the adjacent dominos to topple as well but the starter of the chain reaction is unmoved itself.
For example, a plate wouldn’t have worked because it’s flat and leaves no room for the paper towels to fall through. * Bowl of water- Needed to fill the eye dropper to test the thickness of each of the paper towels. I wanted to use a pure substance and wanted to avoid chemicals. * Eye dropper- Allowed for the water to be squeezed out of onto the piece of paper towel. It was very effective because the researcher has control over how much water is being squeezed out.
Daoism Extra Credit The movie Avatar had many aspects of the ancient Chinese religion Daoism since the very essence of the movie portrayed the belief that nature contains a divine impulse that directs all life, which it showed through the relationships between the Na’vis their environment. One connection between the movie and Daoism is the way the Na’vis didn’t desire anything the sky people could offered them, whether it was roads, technology, or money. This reluctance to accept these outside influences is a representation of the Daoist belief that political activity and learning were irrelevant to a good life. The Na’vis didn’t need or want anything the Sky people tried to buy them off with because they were content with their lifestyle and did not believe these new materials would make it better. Another connection to Daoism is the way the Na’vis connected themselves with their animals.
n [ C2H4 + C2H4 ] ( n [ -CH2-CH2- ] These long chain saturated molecules are very stable and unreactive. The only reaction that some of them do is combustion. Bacteria in the soil find it very difficult to decompose them because of their long straight chains. Nothing eats them as there are no enzymes to digest them in nature. In other words, they do not biodegrade.
We Are I… In Ayn Rand’s “I Owe Nothing To My Brothers”, Equality 7-252 has discovered individualism, being independent, a new meaning for the word “I”. Because of this, he doesn’t feel the need to owe anything to anyone. This passage tone is very declarative and enlightening. Individualism should be something we all practice as a whole.

ew Meaning in a Brave New World The motto of the "Brave New World" was "Community, Identity, and Stability." In the following essay the actual meanings of these terms will be addressed. The term "Community" really did not have the meaning that we are accustomed to hearing and speaking in the modern day and age (1996). Instead it stands for almost a lack of "Community", meaning that there is no choice of where one ranks in the "Community", instead you are assigned even before production (natural birth is non-existent) your place in society and a person could never know what are the differences between being an Alpha or a Gamma. A person in the community is shared by everyone in the "Community", everyone belongs to everyone every person is shared sexually with one another, and there is no emotional bond because
The Confucianism of the Zhou focused more on promotion based on virtue, whereas the Han was based on the sufficiently educated. Examinations and schools became the deciding factor on who would be in power.

Alex Sale Ms. Mittleman 11/18/09 To Live Free From Society Or Die A Conformist Transcendentalism began when some philosophers started challenging the state of culture and society. Transcendental ideas are the keys to a better future. One must rely on his/her own self, in essence self-reliance, and from the reliance of the self comes self-assertion, and putting yourself out into the world.
