The United States and a "new" Empire
As many critics – bothMuslim and non-Muslim – will point out, tremendous cultural damage is done every time American personnel disregard the basic human dignity of others. This is not in any way to diminish the horror perpetuated by Islamic militants, rather it highlights how important it is for the United States to be seen to be operating to the highest national and international legal standards

"However, Husserl’s main focus is epistemological, and for him, lived embodiment is not only a means of practical action, but an essential part of the deep structure of all knowing."
In Husserl’s phenomenology of embodiment, then, the lived body is a lived center of experience, and both its movement capabilities and its distinctive

Misotheism: hatred of God
Although not considered a form of atheism, I thought it would be of great interest to elaborate on another type of rejection of the Divine. Rather than rejecting God’s existence, this perspective involves a hatred of God and wish that He not exist. Known as misotheism, coming from the Greek misos, meaning hatred, and theos meaning God, this
God has the picture and we merely have a pixel .
"If God did exist,would you worship him ?"
The response from many atheists that i have encountered would be no, and they frequently cite the amount of "unnecessary" and "gratuitous" evil and suffering in the world. Although I empathise with their concern and anguish at the suffering inflicted on fellow sentient beings ,atheists and misotheists alike suffer from a veiled type of egocentricism. This means they make special effort not to see the world from any perspective other than through their own eyes. However in doing so ,they commit a type of emotional- or spiritual- fallacy . They antropomorphise God and turn him into a limited man. They assume that God should stop the evil . If He allows it to continue, He must be questioned and rejected. Comparing man with God exposes their inability to understand things holistically . The misotheists would probably at this point exclaim that this means man has more compassion than God . This further highlights their inability to see things from beyond their perspective,and reveals their failure to fathom that GOD'S ACTIONS AND WILL ARE IN LINE WITH A DIVINE REASON THAT WE CANNOT ACCESS.

“Theoretical perspectives, functioning much like metaphors, not only highlights; they also hide. By focusing attention on some phenomena, other equally relevant things may be hidden or glossed over. Thus, just as it is useful and illuminating to approach the world with a range of metaphors, so it is useful to explain with a range of theoretical perspectives. And this is especially is the case of phenomena which are not well bounded and about which there is much taxonomic debate and confusion, as is the case with collective behaviour."
Analyze the differences between content and process theories of motivation.
Motivation theories first started to ask “why” questions to organize different motives that determine human striving and identify different needs as the driving force for action. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory, Alderfer’s ERG and McClleland’s Theory of Needs are most popular content theories which try to answer the question of “why”. The weak applicability and other methodological issues about these theories brought scholars to ask further question of “how” in exploring the mechanisms of motivation. Within this conceptualization expectancy and goal-setting theories are developed. Both of them try to delineate individuals’ decision making process in determining the steps or actions for achieving their goals. Expectancy theory emphasizes expectancy-value relationship and goal setting theory highlights the level of goal commitment in this framework.

CONDITIONING - Dependence on Authority
In fact, he shows that, sometimes, the boundaries of man’s free
will can be eroded in favor of a passive obedience to ideas or symbolic representations. This ideic illusion manifests in reality and takes the form of individuals, situations or structures that are used as supports and ties to this supramoïc dynamics. Milgram also highlights the fact that the performance of acts that are considered condemnable by common ethics is accompanied by a preliminary devaluation of the victim. Wasn’t the genocide against the Jews preceded by a systematic campaign against the Jews?
In the same way, when cults engage in illegal acts, they start with a program of systematically condemning the non-cult milieu.
