Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.

A particularly interesting aspect of Descartes’s skeptical argument is the dream argument and, by extension, the evil demon argument. If we follow the dream argument to its conclusion and become skeptical about the existence of the external world and our ability to draw knowledge from our senses, a troubling conundrum arises. If we consider it impossible to distinguish reality from dreaming and we also consider that a test to differentiate between the two states cannot be reliably performed, then let us imagine a hypothetical scenario where a person is awake and dreaming for an equal amount of time. How, then, do we draw a distinction between consciousness and unconsciousness? Between the sleeping dreaming world and what we consider to be the

When I received back my research paper I was actually in shock because I did better than I expected, of course it wasn't perfect but it was better than I imagined. That is one of my problems I always underestimate myself and think all of my papers are not that good.

It is known that in ones day to day routine, the moment an individual opens their eyes, he or she is promptly aware of a medley of percepts and urges. Such percepts and urges are experienced involuntarily, effortlessly, and regardless of one's desires. These conscious content are subjectively portrayed to "just happen" and occur without one's intention. Relatedly, high-level cognitions beyond those of basic percepts and urges have also been found to enter consciousness in such an insuppressible manner. Consider the case of when entering one's closet; the vast majority of conscious contents composing the stream of consciousness are generated in response to external stimuli.

“The Problem of Evil” is simply the question, why does God allow evil to happen? God is omnipotent, omniscient, all-loving, and rational, therefore why does evil exist? There is either no God or he is not what we think he is, since evil could be prevented by him with no risk. Atheists and anti-theodicist see a problem with the idea that God could prevent evil. They believe that because God is so powerful and perfect, that he would not allow such immoral actions to be done.

Carl Jung refers to the human psyche as both the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind. He believes that the conscious attitudes within one’s mind are ideally balanced with the unconscious attitudes. The unconscious expresses ideas through dreams, imagery, fantasies, slips of the tongue and various other involuntary acts (Snowden 56).
