Briefly Real

 

             

  Realism is one of the older philosophies which regard nature/the physical and the perception of such as relevant .  Unlike other theories that have a foundation in God.  I chose this philosophy because while the ideas and the mind are capable of vast amounts of potential, I do believe that items such as the moon, universe, and whatnot exist whether we perceive them to or not.

                It would be unwise to not mention Aristotle when discussing Realism.  Aristotle was not only a pupil of Plato but also is described as the father of realism.  Aristotle believed that:

• …reality, knowledge, and value exist independent of  the mind

• that an items existence is not predicated by our ideas

• knowledge can be acquired through the senses

• the first step to understanding the physical world is to obtain knowledge.

These four beliefs of Aristotle’s are essential to understanding how he understood realism to be.  I personally agree with all of the four previous elements to Aristotle’s Realism.  I also think that this can be directly applied to different teaching situations.  For example, obtaining knowledge through the senses is done both consciously and unconsciously on a daily basis.  Many different teachers and curriculums use this idea to teach in the classroom.  We are taught about our senses in the classroom and how to use them.  We are then constantly using them throughout our educational careers and after.

Environment Series Part II Is Here!

            As promised Environment Series Part II is here!   

The second part of this ongoing series discusses green power for electrical purposes.  Not only is there a brief description of green power but also a brief description of conventional power.  This part of the series also briefly illustrates some of the benefits associated with using wonderful green power for electrical uses.

Please enjoy Environment Series Part II!

Environment Series Part II Coming Soon

                The environment that surrounds us influences our communication.  Not only do our immediate surroundings dictate the medium, fluency, and type of communications that we engage in, but the world environment does as well.

                The environment not only dictates our communication but can also be the subject of communication.  In recent decades the environment has been the subject of volumes upon volumes of communications.  I have contributed my own small share of communications on the environment, its health, and different ways humans can help.

                The small contributions that I have made are some of what I feel to be my best communications.  I would like to share some of my finer communications on environment with others.  Therefore I have been compiling such communications into the Environment Series.  I have added Part I of the series and Part II is coming soon!  Be on the lookout for Environment Series Part II!
