no species could. The technology behind the atomic bomb only exists because of a cooperative hive mind: hundreds of scientists and engineers working together. The same unique intelligence and cooperation also underlies more positive advances, such as modern medicine. But is that all that defines us? In recent years, many traits once believed to be uniquely human, from morality to culture, have been found in the animal kingdom (see part one in this two-part series). So, what exactly makes us special? The list might be smaller than it once was, but there are some traits of ours that no other creature on Earth can match. No animal can get close to the devastation humans can cause (Credit: Thinkstock) No animal can get close to the devastation humans can cause (Credit: Thinkstock) Ever since we learned to write, we have documented how special we are. The philosopher Aristotle marked out our differences over 2,000 years ago. We
retinal image is sketchy and incomplete, and that the visual information has to travel beyond the retinal image in order to be more complete. For this reason, Gregory argues that perception must be an indirect process involving a construction based on physical sources of energy. From this point of view there is a footing for explanation of illusions in which some of them he has explained successfully. Gregory argues that when we experience a visual illusion what we perceive may not be physically present in the retinal image. Illusions can essentially be explained when our perceptual assumption is not confirmed by the data, so our interpretation of the stimulus is inappropriate. Gregory (1970), (cited in Gross, 2005, pp 255) demonstrates good evidence for this view with a rotating hollow mask, where the mask can be seen hollow or normal. The assumption being selected is strongly influenced by past experience of faces

- follows from - etc. Two remarks on indicators: 1. The occurence of an indicator does not suffice. We need to find also an inferential relationship. a. Since yesterday, it did not stop raining (temporal meaning) b. Since it is raining, I will take my umbrella (logical meaning) 2. Sometimes, there are no indicators. It is then necessary to inquire the implicit inferential relationshio between the statements in order to identify what statement follows from the other(s). This might be tested by mentally inserting the world “Therefore” and assessing whether it fits. a. I really need some money. I should get a job. b. I really need some money. Therefore, I should get a job. Non-arguments Not all passages are arguments. Examples: Simple non-inferential passages where nothing is said to be proved. ● Be careful! (Warning or piece of advice)
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning ?
the interdependency of international actors and their operation within institutional constraints, constructivism considers international politics as a sphere of interaction which is shaped by the actors' identities and practices and influenced by constantly changing normative institutional structures. For all theories of international relations, the world is in anarchy, and because of this it is helpful to start with a definition of anarchy and what it implies. Anarchy, for theories that deal with international relations, refers to the world as a whole having no government. There are individual states that have varying degrees of power and sovereignty in their own land, but clearly there is no single state that makes laws for the whole world. This presents problems and dangers for entities operating in the anarchic world and a need for a system that will guide the actions of these entities.

It has generated a great confusion `about what role young people below the age of majority should play in community and political life`.6 On the one hand, there is a growing recognition with respect to children`s participation in society. On the other hand, children are seen as welfare dependants, needy for care and protection of adults. The goal of this dissertation is to critically explore this hotly debated tension between these two conflicting salient features that
