Philosophy addresses fundamental questions about knowledge, existence, ethics, reason, mind and language. It inquires into the nature of knowledge and how it relates to perception, truth and belief. It also examines concepts like freedom and personal identity as well as proposals of God's existence and theories of a fulfilling life.Day 1 world religion

This document provides an overview of instructional design and learning theory from a graduate student's paper. It discusses the origins and key concepts of behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses on observable behavior changes and conditioning. Cognitivism considers internal mental processes and views learning as involving the acquisition of cognitive structures. Constructivism posits that learners construct their own understandings through experiences and mental schema. The document aims to help differentiate these three major learning theories and their implications for instructional design.Who I Admire Essay. The Person I Admire Essay

Philosophy Extra Credit Projects
If you wish, you can do two extra credit assignments this term, one small and one
large project. Each small project will end up as a 3-5 page paper: 1 page (or less)
summary of what you read/watched), 1-2 pages answering a few questions, and 1-2 pages
reaction to the philosophical themes of the book/movie. Larger projects are more of
same, but the themes for that project carries over into different genres (therefore, you will
have more to read watch) and are more difficult or complex (again giving you a little
more work to do).
Each little project will be worth (about) 2 points, while the larger projects are
worth 5. With partial credit, doing both projects well can (and will) shift you a whole
letter grade! But note that they are graded just like reaction papers, so if you do one,
please be sure to put a lot of energy into it, and come see me if you are having problems
with it!
Small Projects
Philosophy and the Divine
, director Aronofsky. A radically different view of God is pushed by this film I added
this one to the list as a neutral choice for anyone that wants to work a little more with
Philosophy of Religion. Sit back and enjoy the ride (its a wild, weird movie) and then
let me know if you think that any of the articles weve read can handle this kind of
understand of the Divine, and what exactly is Aronofsky saying about God.
The Screw Tape Letters, C.S. Lewis. This book is also a somewhat neutral choice,
since Lewis went from a devout believer to an atheist, and back again (however, hes
obviously returned to his faith when he writes this). What is Lewis really saying about
God (or the Devil) and the nature of Evil? How responsible are we as (merely) human?
Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche. A book for the non-believers, or those still sitting on
the fence. If youre a Nine-Inch-Nails fan, this is close as it comes to mandatory reading
since Nietzsche was the first to publicly declare, God is Dead. I really want to know
what you make of Nietzsches subtitle for the text (How to Philosophize with a
Hammer), what Nietzsche himself meant by it, and what he thinks God really is. This
one is a little longer and harder project, so come see me if you want to work on it you
may need a little help throughout the project.
Philosophy and life
Fight Club, Palahniuk. A great book, followed by a great movie that totally changes
the message that Palahniuk is trying to push. Who is Tyler Durden (not literally thats

masturbation (what does that even mean)? Did Fight Club, Project Mayhem really work?
(Again, make sure you read the book!)

meaning for Life and a radical definition of responsibility. I really want to know what

Final Summary Reflection Essay Topic Possibilities:
This essay is due Wednesday, April 19th
Instructions:
Choose one of the following topics and write your essay
in accordance with the guidelines regarding the structure and
the content of summary reflection essays I posted separately on Blackboard.
Possible Topics:
1) At the beginning of Plato's Meno, Meno offers Socrates several definitions of virtue
or
arete. None of the definitions satisfy Socrates. Reviewing the definitions and
Socrates' responses to them, what seems to be the major fault of each in Socrates'
eyes? Do you think Socrates is raising legitimate objections to the definitions? Why
or why not? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
2) In his attempt to refute Meno's definition of virtue as "the desire of things honorable
and the power of attaining them," Socrates argues that "no one desires that which is
evil." Explain the definition and Socrates' refutation of it in detail. What is Socrates'
argument exactly, and how does it serve to show that Meno's definition is inadequate?
Do you think Socrates' argument is legitimate? Why or why not? Discuss as
critically and creatively as possible.
3) After attempting to define "virtue" unsuccessfully, Meno finally gives up and admits
that he does not know what virtue is. Socrates then invites Meno to join a mutual
inquiry regarding the nature of virtue. At this suggestion, Meno introduces a paradox
which, if legitimate, would make inquiry into the nature of virtue impossible. What is
the paradox, and how does Socrates respond to it? What do you think of Socrates'
response? How, in other words, do you read the nature and the significance of
Socrates' notion of "learning as recollection"? Discuss as critically and creatively as
possible.
4) After arguing that all learning is recollection, Socrates lets Meno talk him into an
investigation of the teach-ability of virtue. How does Socrates approach this question,
and what seems to be his ultimate answer? Do you think the answer Meno and
Socrates give to the problem is the answer Plato wants us to accept? Explain your
answer, and in the process, discuss, if you wish, how you think virtue is acquired.
Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
5) One of the key implications of Plato's famous "Parable of the Cave" (despite it's rather
tragic ending) is that true freedom involves attaining knowledge of ultimate reality
(otherwise, we will be perpetually enslaved to the "shadows on the wall" which are
no more than illusions). In other words, Plato would have us believe that
enlightenment is liberating. Of course, this notion is famously captured by the phrase,
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Considering this general viewpoint, t.Symbolic Convergence Theory Of Communication
Symbolic Convergence Theory Of CommunicationJessica Robles
油
Symbolic convergence theory examines how groups develop shared meanings and understandings. The article discusses the theory's key assumptions that communication creates reality and symbols create shared meanings. It states that the theory examines how fantasy themes emerge from repeated messages in a group and shape the group's rhetorical vision and sense of purpose. The paper also provides an example of a study that used symbolic convergence theory to analyze messages shared on a role-playing game group's Facebook page and adventure logs to understand the fantasy themes that emerged.1.

1. It examines Hofstede's model of national culture and asks which dimensions are still important today and which may be least important for multinational management success.
2. It discusses the responsibilities of a multinational manager, including preparing for different cultures, seeking cultural information, and how managerial responsibilities may differ from a domestic role.
3. It asks which levels of culture (e.g. surface, deep) may be most/least difficult for a multinational manager to understand and manage, asking for examples.
4. It discusses perceptions of free trade and its advantages/disadvantages.

1. Examine Hofstede's model of national culture. Are all four dimensions still important in today's society as it relates to the success of the multinational manager? Why, or why not? Which do you think is the least important as it relates to multinational management? Why?
2. More companies are seeking to fill multinational management positions due to the influx of business growth abroad. If you were offered and accepted a position as a multinational manager, what would you do to personally prepare for the culture of a different country? Where would you seek information? What overall responsibilities would you expect of the job? How do you think the managerial responsibilities would be different from those you would face in the United States?
3. Multinational managers encounter many levels of culture. Which of the culture levels do you think might be the most difficult to manage? Why? Share an example. Which culture level do you think might be the easiest to understand? Why? Give an example of this.
4. In your own words, what is your perception of free trade? Think about the advantages of free trade; what are two benefits that result from free trade? There is also a downside to free trade; what are two disadvantages resulting from free trade? Provide reasoning for your choices.
5. What are the three major economic systems that nations utilize, and what is the role of each? How does each affect and influence individuals, multinational managers, and corporations?
6. How would you define油ethical convergence? What are the four basic reasons for ethical convergence? Which might be the most difficult for multinational companies to follow, and why?
7. Describe the four major world religions. What are the impacts of each religion type on an economic environment? What do you think makes religion a concern in societies?
8. If you were a multinational manager, and you encountered an ethical dilemma within the multinational company, what heuristic questions would you use to decide between ethical relativism and ethical universalism? Of the different heuristic questions, which one do you think is most important? Explain your reasoning.

This week you will be learning in detail about the four different moral perspectives that
we will use to analyze moral questions.
Notice two things right at the start. First, because normative ethics is our main focus this
term, we are not going to attempt to settle the question of whether any moral perspective at all
could be correct or known to be correctthat is a task for metaethics. Our task in this second
week is to learn in some detail about four different kinds of consideration or value that often
seem relevant when we try to decide what is morally right or wrong in particular cases, namely:
(1) Respect for the rights and autonomy of the persons involved
(2) Increasing the overall well-being of the most individuals possible

The Qur'an is the central religious text of Islam which Muslims believe was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by God. It is highly influential as the eternal and unchanging word of God. The Qur'an describes God as the one sovereign creator of the universe who is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. In Islam, God is aided by angels, jinn, and heavenly figures. There are also beliefs around Judgment Day, heaven, hell, and the five pillars of faith which are the core duties of Muslims - the shahadah creed, daily prayer, almsgiving, fasting during Ramadan, and the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca if possible in a lifetime.Islam pdf with notes

Muhammad was born in 570 CE in Mecca and founded the religion of Islam. He began receiving revelations from God at age 40 and preached the oneness of God. He faced persecution from Meccans and migrated to Medina in 622, an event known as the Hijra. From there, he established the first Muslim community and community. Key events included the Battle of Badr, which increased his prestige, and the conquest of Mecca in 630, after which he controlled most of Arabia. He established Islam as both a religion and a social and political system before his death in 632.More Related Content

Constructivism posits that learners construct their own understandings through experiences and mental schema. The document aims to help differentiate these three major learning theories and their implications for instructional design.Who I Admire Essay. The Person I Admire Essay

Philosophy Extra Credit Projects
If you wish, you can do two extra credit assignments this term, one small and one
large project. Each small project will end up as a 3-5 page paper: 1 page (or less)
summary of what you read/watched), 1-2 pages answering a few questions, and 1-2 pages
reaction to the philosophical themes of the book/movie. Larger projects are more of
same, but the themes for that project carries over into different genres (therefore, you will
have more to read watch) and are more difficult or complex (again giving you a little
more work to do).
Each little project will be worth (about) 2 points, while the larger projects are
worth 5. With partial credit, doing both projects well can (and will) shift you a whole
letter grade! But note that they are graded just like reaction papers, so if you do one,
please be sure to put a lot of energy into it, and come see me if you are having problems
with it!
Small Projects
Philosophy and the Divine
, director Aronofsky. A radically different view of God is pushed by this film I added
this one to the list as a neutral choice for anyone that wants to work a little more with
Philosophy of Religion. Sit back and enjoy the ride (its a wild, weird movie) and then
let me know if you think that any of the articles weve read can handle this kind of
understand of the Divine, and what exactly is Aronofsky saying about God.
The Screw Tape Letters, C.S. Lewis. This book is also a somewhat neutral choice,
since Lewis went from a devout believer to an atheist, and back again (however, hes
obviously returned to his faith when he writes this). What is Lewis really saying about
God (or the Devil) and the nature of Evil? How responsible are we as (merely) human?
Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche. A book for the non-believers, or those still sitting on
the fence. If youre a Nine-Inch-Nails fan, this is close as it comes to mandatory reading
since Nietzsche was the first to publicly declare, God is Dead. I really want to know
what you make of Nietzsches subtitle for the text (How to Philosophize with a
Hammer), what Nietzsche himself meant by it, and what he thinks God really is. This
one is a little longer and harder project, so come see me if you want to work on it you
may need a little help throughout the project.
Philosophy and life
Fight Club, Palahniuk. A great book, followed by a great movie that totally changes
the message that Palahniuk is trying to push. Who is Tyler Durden (not literally thats
for your summary) in the psychological, philosophical sense? Is self improvement really
masturbation (what does that even mean)? Did Fight Club, Project Mayhem really work?
(Again, make sure you read the book!)
The Stranger, Camus. A classic existential work, Camus really moves towards a new
meaning for Life and a radical definition of responsibility. I really want to know what

Final Summary Reflection Essay Topic Possibilities:
This essay is due Wednesday, April 19th
Instructions:
Choose one of the following topics and write your essay
in accordance with the guidelines regarding the structure and
the content of summary reflection essays I posted separately on Blackboard.
Possible Topics:
1) At the beginning of Plato's Meno, Meno offers Socrates several definitions of virtue
or
arete. None of the definitions satisfy Socrates. Reviewing the definitions and
Socrates' responses to them, what seems to be the major fault of each in Socrates'
eyes? Do you think Socrates is raising legitimate objections to the definitions? Why
or why not? Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
2) In his attempt to refute Meno's definition of virtue as "the desire of things honorable
and the power of attaining them," Socrates argues that "no one desires that which is
evil." Explain the definition and Socrates' refutation of it in detail. What is Socrates'
argument exactly, and how does it serve to show that Meno's definition is inadequate?
Do you think Socrates' argument is legitimate? Why or why not? Discuss as
critically and creatively as possible.
3) After attempting to define "virtue" unsuccessfully, Meno finally gives up and admits
that he does not know what virtue is. Socrates then invites Meno to join a mutual
inquiry regarding the nature of virtue. At this suggestion, Meno introduces a paradox
which, if legitimate, would make inquiry into the nature of virtue impossible. What is
the paradox, and how does Socrates respond to it? What do you think of Socrates'
response? How, in other words, do you read the nature and the significance of
Socrates' notion of "learning as recollection"? Discuss as critically and creatively as
possible.
4) After arguing that all learning is recollection, Socrates lets Meno talk him into an
investigation of the teach-ability of virtue. How does Socrates approach this question,
and what seems to be his ultimate answer? Do you think the answer Meno and
Socrates give to the problem is the answer Plato wants us to accept? Explain your
answer, and in the process, discuss, if you wish, how you think virtue is acquired.
Discuss as critically and creatively as possible.
5) One of the key implications of Plato's famous "Parable of the Cave" (despite it's rather
tragic ending) is that true freedom involves attaining knowledge of ultimate reality
(otherwise, we will be perpetually enslaved to the "shadows on the wall" which are
no more than illusions). In other words, Plato would have us believe that
enlightenment is liberating. Of course, this notion is famously captured by the phrase,
"You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Considering this general viewpoint, t.Symbolic Convergence Theory Of Communication
Symbolic Convergence Theory Of CommunicationJessica Robles
油
Symbolic convergence theory examines how groups develop shared meanings and understandings. The article discusses the theory's key assumptions that communication creates reality and symbols create shared meanings. It states that the theory examines how fantasy themes emerge from repeated messages in a group and shape the group's rhetorical vision and sense of purpose. The paper also provides an example of a study that used symbolic convergence theory to analyze messages shared on a role-playing game group's Facebook page and adventure logs to understand the fantasy themes that emerged.1.

1. It examines Hofstede's model of national culture and asks which dimensions are still important today and which may be least important for multinational management success.
2. It discusses the responsibilities of a multinational manager, including preparing for different cultures, seeking cultural information, and how managerial responsibilities may differ from a domestic role.
3. It asks which levels of culture (e.g. surface, deep) may be most/least difficult for a multinational manager to understand and manage, asking for examples.
4. It discusses perceptions of free trade and its advantages/disadvantages.

1. Examine Hofstede's model of national culture. Are all four dimensions still important in today's society as it relates to the success of the multinational manager? Why, or why not? Which do you think is the least important as it relates to multinational management? Why?
2. More companies are seeking to fill multinational management positions due to the influx of business growth abroad. If you were offered and accepted a position as a multinational manager, what would you do to personally prepare for the culture of a different country? Where would you seek information? What overall responsibilities would you expect of the job? How do you think the managerial responsibilities would be different from those you would face in the United States?
3. Multinational managers encounter many levels of culture. Which of the culture levels do you think might be the most difficult to manage? Why? Share an example. Which culture level do you think might be the easiest to understand? Why? Give an example of this.
4. In your own words, what is your perception of free trade? Think about the advantages of free trade; what are two benefits that result from free trade? There is also a downside to free trade; what are two disadvantages resulting from free trade? Provide reasoning for your choices.
5. What are the three major economic systems that nations utilize, and what is the role of each? How does each affect and influence individuals, multinational managers, and corporations?
6. How would you define油ethical convergence? What are the four basic reasons for ethical convergence? Which might be the most difficult for multinational companies to follow, and why?
7. Describe the four major world religions. What are the impacts of each religion type on an economic environment? What do you think makes religion a concern in societies?
8. If you were a multinational manager, and you encountered an ethical dilemma within the multinational company, what heuristic questions would you use to decide between ethical relativism and ethical universalism? Of the different heuristic questions, which one do you think is most important? Explain your reasoning.

Week Two Instructors Notes
PHIL 1103 Summer
This week you will be learning in detail about the four different moral perspectives that
we will use to analyze moral questions.
Notice two things right at the start. First, because normative ethics is our main focus this
term, we are not going to attempt to settle the question of whether any moral perspective at all
could be correct or known to be correctthat is a task for metaethics. Our task in this second
week is to learn in some detail about four different kinds of consideration or value that often
seem relevant when we try to decide what is morally right or wrong in particular cases, namely:
(1) Respect for the rights and autonomy of the persons involved
(2) Increasing the overall well-being of the most individuals possible

The Qur'an is the central religious text of Islam which Muslims believe was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by God. It is highly influential as the eternal and unchanging word of God. The Qur'an describes God as the one sovereign creator of the universe who is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. In Islam, God is aided by angels, jinn, and heavenly figures. There are also beliefs around Judgment Day, heaven, hell, and the five pillars of faith which are the core duties of Muslims - the shahadah creed, daily prayer, almsgiving, fasting during Ramadan, and the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca if possible in a lifetime.Islam pdf with notes

Muhammad was born in 570 CE in Mecca and founded the religion of Islam. He began receiving revelations from God at age 40 and preached the oneness of God. He faced persecution from Meccans and migrated to Medina in 622, an event known as the Hijra. From there, he established the first Muslim community and community. Key events included the Battle of Badr, which increased his prestige, and the conquest of Mecca in 630, after which he controlled most of Arabia.

Chinese religion is a syncretic tradition combining elements of animism, Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Early Chinese religion involved polytheism, ancestor worship, and a focus on morality. Daoism and Confucianism later developed as schools of thought addressing societal problems. Daoism teaches that life should be lived simply in harmony with the mysterious force of Tao. Confucianism focuses on social order and ethics. The Chinese government has tried to regulate this complex religious system over time.Branches of judaism

Judaism Robin Montgomery

Judaism is based on the belief in one God who has chosen the Jewish people and acts through history. The core of the Jewish story is the Exodus, when Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. At Mount Sinai, God gave the Israelites the Ten Commandments, focusing on obedience to God and treating others well. This established Judaism as a religion of law. Major events after include conquering Canaan, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the exile and diaspora of Jews throughout the world, and the development of synagogues and religious writings like the Torah and Talmud.
