Individuality, as One of the Elements of Well-Being In his paper, Mill (1859) stated that democratic nations would replace monarchies and tyrannies of the past. He also believed that a new problem would arise within a government of the people for the people. Mill worried that the will of the people would become the government’s will, which could endanger democracy and self-development of individuals if the government were to suppress the lifestyles and opinions of minorities (Turner, 2014). Mill suggested what philosophers today call his “harm principle” to address this danger. Mill’s principle would prohibit majorities from interfering with any individual’s liberties unless that individual’s liberties infringed on others. Mill views individuality as the core of self-cultivation. However, a fundamental problem visible in society is that individuality is not valued and is not considered essential to well-being. Instead, the majority feel its practice should be acceptable by all. Mill argues that while people in the cumulative knowledge of human experience should be educated as children, they should exercise their rights to view human experiences as they see fit in…

  SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) is listed as an endangered migratory species and protected under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act as well as protected from international trade by listing in Appendix-I. Elephants are a challenging species to keep in captivity, although they are considered a species of flagship conservation and thus a favourite species to exhibit. So, it is important to keep these animals in captivity, to understand their requirements better, and hopefully transition this knowledge to wild elephants. The elephants are mono-gastric, non-ruminant browsers as well as grazers, with the characteristics of hindgut fermentative metabolism. Due to the similarity of digestive behaviour, the horse is considered a model animal for calculating elephants’ nutrient requirements and designing diets. The elephant’s hindgut harbors bacteria that degrade cellulose to VFA, CH4, and CO2 and get approximately 70% of its energy requirement. In addition, the Asian elephant deficit homologues of enzymes needed for cellulose degradation. Therefore, the degradation of cellulose in their feed depends on their intestinal microflora. Several strategies have been developed to prevent microbial disturbances in the…

It is placed in the middle of a region that is currently experiencing consistent international and civil wars. Over the years, the Middle East has witnessed governments’ massive failure, bloody disagreements among citizens, and a massive uprise of terrorists and militia strongholds (Baltes, 2016). In Syria, these problems, which were seen to pose minute threats to national unity before, have massively grown to be a significant problem to every citizen. The need to alleviate the situation has attracted outside forces such as the United States, who are determined to reinstate peace and strengthen national cohesion. Background to the Syrian Problem The peace intervention treaties in Syria and other Middle East countries alike have come with a hefty price. Despite their intervention strategies, it is clear that they are not close to leaving because the problem continues to magnify every other day. By this, these countries are jeopardizing their…

Catholicism The slavery system was considered an overly cruel and physically abusive devil in early modern times. The devil represented the slave owners equated to the Carib god Maboya with the Caribs representing the slaves. The slaves had to be beaten when they are not submissive to the master’s demands and wishes. The trope stressed the power and significance of baptism, but critics saw this as a justification of the European region. The Caribbean could not discuss the violence of the system, which, when transferred to Africans, still took a slavery direction. The devil was an abusive master of powerless subjects. Catholicism believed that the devil ruled the entire American population, a belief that was shared by Protestants. America was considered Satan’s continent because it harbored humanity’s powerful enemies due to the slave system. Early modern Catholics regarded beings that worshipped other people as demons that have been conned by other followers. The devil and his demons often had a strong grip on the unfortunate people that were their subjects. The missionaries were tasked with uncovering the tricks of the…

Probability Assignment Last Name:   The image below represents a collection of numbered, colored cubes that have been placed in one of four colored bins. Imagine these props will be used in games of chance, like what you would see at a casino night fund raiser.     To play, a contestant chooses a single cube from one of the bins. You will create the rules that determine whether they win or lose.   •     Define rules for four different games. The rules for each game must specify what bin the contestant can choose from and how they win. They may select only ONE CUBE per game,not multiple cubes.   For example, contestants may select a cube fromthe blue bin, and they win if the cube is blue. Or the contestant can pick one cube from any one of the bins and wins if the cube is a “3.” (4 points)   •     Calculate the probability of two of your games.The cubes are selected at random. (4 points)   •     Using these two games, calculate the expected value of the…

The army design methodology The army design methodology is the process or methodology used to apply critical and creative thinking, understand, picture, and define problems that seem not to be conversant, approaching approaches to solving them (ADP5-0). The methodology includes thinking interlinked activities, which play a crucial role in planning and making decisions. Army design methodology enables the commanders and the army to think about a particular situation for a better understanding deeply, hence putting them in a better position to develop an approach to manage and solve problems. Additionally, several activities are always linked with the army design methodology. Thy includes framing an operational environment, framing problems, framing solutions, and sometimes reframing. The environment’s framing entails developing an in-depth understanding of the current environment for operation and picturing the desired one, through graphic representation and description. The environments are comprised of different parts and their nodes, interests, tenancies, and anomalies. This stage enables commanders and staff to explore systems and set boundaries for inquiry thoroughly. Secondly, framing the problem involves identifying the existing inconsistencies and obstacles that inhibit attaining…

What is a dental implant? A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically placed into the jawbone and allowed to bond with the bone in a few months. The invention of dental implants restored confidence to millions of people who had lost teeth due to various reasons such as diseases, accidents, etc. The inventory of dental implants made tooth replacement somewhat easy as they provide a surface for the dentist to place the missing teeth on them. The new tooth resembles your natural teeth, making it difficult for others to notice the difference. How do dental implants work? Since dental implants bond with your jawbone, they render steady support for artificial teeth. This ensures dentures and bridges mounted to implants are firm to the extent that they can’t slip nor shift in your mouth. This allows people to eat and speak without experiencing difficulties. The firm attachment of implants to the jaw bone ensures the dentures, bridges, and individual crowns mounted over implants have a more natural look than traditional dentures or bridges. Who is eligible for…
