Thought

Background: DoorGuard, an idea thought of by Steven Harris, which protects the side of your car from accidental dents that occur in parking lots all across the world. Harris’s idea of a product that helps prevent dents in the side of car doors is a very simple idea that many individuals would never have thought to create, and the DoorGuard product would seem to have many buyers who are looking to help protect their new/used cars. The thought of having a giant piece of removable foam on each side

Reading and Though  In Dwight MacDonald’s Reading and Though, he disagrees with Henry Luce’s Idea of functional curiosity. Luce coined the term “functional curiosity,” meaning “the kind of searching, hungry interest in what is happening everywhere.” MacDonald’s opinion of functional curiosity is that it only encourages practice in reading rather than giving beneficial information. He considers today’s literature as flimsy and overwhelming. MacDonald assumes that all reading done in today’s society

In his essay, “Thought,” Louis H. Sullivan illustrates the importance of real thinking and creative thinking. He asserts that words are not really necessary to use to express our thoughts. He presents other wordless forms of communication to translate our thoughts into loud expressions. Music, painting, images and other wordless forms are the solution the author suggest, as better forms of communication. “Real thinking is better done without words” Sullivan argues. “Words” cut off the inspiration

Negative Thoughts and Shame Addiction Posted on July 20 by johnmerideth Addiction When we think about addiction, it seems we mostly talk about substances or activities and rarely about the deeply set emotions that come with being an addict. Recently I watched the HBO special Addiction, and was struck by its limited scope in relating dependence or addiction to thoughts. As I watched the segments, I wondered if they had considered the number of ordinary people struggling with the less obvious but equally

The Nature of Thought in Joyce Thought is a problem in Joyce's work. His characters' obscure trains of thought and remembrance constantly challenge the reader to keep up. I will argue that the depths of this obscurity are not, in fact, murky; they are a response to his introspection about the nature of thought, and reflect a coherent theory. Joyce often repeats phrases, and he makes such repetitions noticeable in order to direct the reader to the questions: What is thought? And what are the unconscious

hug me as the pitch black of the room shushes out all of the noise and frustration of the day. Thoughts flutter restlessly through my mind on butterfly wings, taking them and morphing them into peculiar things. The sheep do not jump over the fence. They’re busy grazing the stars, stars that remain only because of the putty. I wish, I wish, I wish on the stars…but the stars are not stars. More thoughts wrestle in my head – all the things I should have said or still could say, but never will be said

since Descartes, that each of us has an ultimate access to our thoughts. This principle implies individual’s ability to process inner thoughts in such a way that nobody else can. Even though Descartes has great confidence in his belief of privileged access, there still exists some skeptical doubts concerning whether human beings could possess such ability. As an individualist, I have strong belief in human’s power over our thoughts. Although there are circumstances that can cause us to make mistake

Analyzing the Thoughts of Ancient Philosophers 3 Major Ideas from The Republic Books 1-5 The Republic is exemplary in showing the knowledge of the philosophers of Socrates and Plato’s day. Socrates’ argument of “what justice is” shows many dynamics and layers within his mind. Socrates will never start a conversation with someone else without being able to get a new thought completely fabricated from their own mind. He is a very intelligent philosopher; proven by the fact that he can jump start a

Christian Thought The author lists the six commandments Paul states that form the habit of Christian thought. (1) Think about those things. Let go of the negatives and have Christ-like thoughts. (2) Think with discernment. Think on Jesus the Truth not on facts alone. Not all facts are true. (3) Think honorable thoughts. These thoughts dwell on praise, worship, and thanksgiving. We are God’s workmanship to which we owe only praise and thanksgiving. (4) Think just thoughts. All our thoughts should be

My thoughts about the class changed throughout the 10 weeks in the quarter. I thought the class was going to be boring but it turned out really good. I really like the exercises that we do in class because they help you create a better character for scenes. My final performance went really well; I was really nervous to perform in front of the class because I thought they wouldn’t like the scene but after performing I got great compliments. I forgot some lines, but I didn’t let it show so I had to
