Ellusian: Skepticism 101

http://ellusian.blogspot.com/2010/02/skepticism-101.html

Post a comment - Argue your point! Friday, February 12, 2010. Throughout this semester I will be posting journal entries examining the claims made by one of my instructors. Make no mistake, this is a coping mechanism! There have been more outlandish claims made in this class than I could ever hope to debunk, but I will try to address a few of them. My hope is that I will be able to entertain and inform both myself and others. (and keep my mouth shut until grades are posted). Visit me on Facebook.

Post a comment - Argue your point! Tuesday, February 9, 2010. How realistic are our expectations for the American political system? Only a small percentage of the city’s inhabitants were actually considered fit to vote. No other government until our own came much closer than Athens. Granted, moral and religious sentiments play a part in any society, but why are we allowing these feelings to interfere with what must necessarily be a logic based decision? American politicians, and the people who support th...

Post a comment - Argue your point! Thursday, February 18, 2010. Rutgers Professor Calls Minority Athletic Scholarships ‘racist'. William C. Dowling. While surfing the interwebs a while back, I found this fascinating article, in which a Rutger's professor comes under fire for violating the conventions of political correctness: He has demanded that his university focus on academics instead of intercollegiate sports. What is wrong with the picture here? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The society we hav...

http://ellusian.blogspot.com/2010/02/controversial-view-of-immigration.html

Post a comment - Argue your point! Thursday, February 11, 2010. A Controversial View of Immigration Policy. Swiss immigration policies spark international debate, and provide an example of what it looks like to enforce immigration laws. It may be that there is something that the United States can learn from this. It is true that taking a popular vote of the community before allowing a person citizenship could allow racist tendencies among the people, but why is it wrong to stop a known criminal from beco...

Ellusian: Gross Domestic Happiness

http://ellusian.blogspot.com/2010/02/gross-domestic-happiness.html

Post a comment - Argue your point! Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Measuring GDP gives an incomplete picture of the health of a society. Unfortunately, this same strategy won’t work for everyone. In the case of Americans, we are always in search of more. This is the primary reason why we aren. 8217;t happy: Nothing is ever enough. Executives with more money than most of us could dream of feel the need to steal. Why? To save a fraction of her monthly income? The problem is not that our measuring system views ...
