Corax was known as the "father of persuasion" and taught the art of forensic debate. He decided to retire and took on an apprentice named Tisias to teach him. However, after completing his teachings, Tisias refused to provide the agreed compensation. When Corax sued, Tisias argued that if he won, Corax had failed to teach him, and if he lost, Corax would owe him. This created a "heads I win, tails you lose" dilemma and is how the concept of sophistry was born.

Summarizing a Poem
This short slide show discusses summarizing a poem, and uses E.E. Cummings' poem "Milly and Maggie and Molly and May." It shows students and example of how to use a linear string chart to do the summary.
Natural law
Thomas Aquinas draws on Aristotle's philosophy of the four causes and Plato's idea of the good to develop his theory of natural law. For Aquinas, God is the prime mover and source of all goodness in the world. Natural law refers to humanity's shared rational nature that inclines us towards virtue and allows us to discern good from evil. As rational beings with free will, humans have a participation in eternal law and are directed by reason towards our proper ends or goods.

4. pre socratics
The document discusses pre-Socratic philosophy from 600-450 BC. It introduces several influential early Greek philosophers including Thales, who proposed that water is the fundamental substance; Anaximander, who argued reality is composed of an undefined "boundless"; and Heraclitus, who believed the universe is eternal change and conflict of opposites. It also covers Parmenides' view that change is an illusion and reality is one unchanging whole, and Democritus' atomic theory that all matter is composed of invisible, indivisible atoms.
Semiotics
This document provides an overview of key concepts in semiotic theory that can be applied to analyzing representations in media texts, including:
- Denotation and connotation refer to the literal and implied meanings of signs. For example, a rose denotes a flower but connotes love.
- Paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships refer to vertical/categorical and horizontal/combinatorial relationships between signs that shape meaning. For example, a dog is defined by what it is not (lion, tiger, etc.) in the paradigm.
- Signs can be iconic, indexical, or symbolic in how they relate to their meanings. For example, a photograph is indexical while language is largely symbolic.
- Media meanings
Phenomenology of husserl
The document summarizes Edmund Husserl's phenomenological method. It discusses five principal phases: 1) bracketing presuppositions through epoché, 2) phenomenological reduction to focus on lived experiences, 3) free variation of imaginative possibilities, 4) intuition of essences through overlap of acts, and 5) description of essential structures. The goal is to discover the invariant structures or essences of objects through a presuppositionless analysis of consciousness and intentionality. Husserl sought to establish philosophy as a rigorous science by transforming our understanding of objects and reality through a focus on subjective experience.
Lecture1 introduction to ethics
The document provides an introduction to ethics, including definitions of key terms like ethics, morality, metaethics, normative ethics, and descriptive ethics. It discusses three broad categories of moral philosophy: metaethics, normative ethics, and descriptive ethics. It also summarizes different ethical theories like deontology, consequentialism, relativism, and ethical egoism. Finally, it outlines some principles of ethical decision making like considering stakeholders, consequences, guidelines, and reviewing decisions.
Orienteering
Orienteering is an outdoor sport where competitors navigate through unfamiliar terrain using a map and compass to locate control points. It began in Sweden in the late 19th century as military training and has grown into a competitive sport open to civilians. Participants use maps, compasses, and control description sheets to navigate through forests and find orange and white kites marking the control points, checking in using a finger stick. The goal is to locate all controls in the fastest time while using the map's symbols like contour lines to determine elevation changes across the landscape.
Badminton Basic Skills
The document provides instructions for basic badminton skills including grips, serves, returns, strokes, footwork and ready position. It discusses forehand and backhand grips and different types of serves including high, low, and flick serves. It also outlines back court, mid court, and front court strokes as well as overhead hits, lobs, drops shots, and smashes. It concludes with details on proper ready position and defense and attack footwork.
PE4 Recreational Activities
The document discusses recreational activities and their benefits. It defines key terms like recreation, leisure, and play. Recreation is described as a voluntarily chosen, organized activity done during leisure time for pleasure and refreshment. The document lists various types of recreational activities and their mental, physical, social, and cultural benefits. These include stress reduction, improved health, stronger family bonds, and increased self-esteem. In conclusion, the quote emphasizes that recreation refreshes people and enhances their discovery of life rather than just passing time.
Health Related and Skill Related Physical Fitness

Topic 3 (Human Act).pptx
1. A human act is an act that proceeds from deliberate free will and is proper to man as a rational being.
2. For an act to be considered human, it must be knowing, free, and voluntary. The agent must deliberately choose to perform the act with understanding of what they are doing.
3. Human acts can be classified based on their adequate cause (whether found in the will alone or perfected by other faculties) and their relation to reason (good, evil, or indifferent).
Ethical traditions
Ethics refers to standards of right and wrong that prescribe how humans should act. These standards are based on virtues like honesty and compassion, as well as rights and obligations. Ethics also involves studying and examining one's moral beliefs and actions. There are several approaches to determining ethical standards, including considering the consequences of actions (utilitarianism), respecting individual rights, fairness and justice, the common good of society, and virtues of good character. While these approaches don't always agree, together they provide a framework for ethical decision making.
Study of ethics
The document discusses the study of ethics. It defines ethics as the science of morality in human acts, derived from Greek and Latin terms meaning ways of living or tradition. Ethics examines human motivation and behavior. There are two main approaches - atheistic, which sees man as matter without spirit, and theistic, which sees God as the supreme lawgiver. Ethics, while relying on reason, is inseparable from religion and law. It guides values education and professional conduct beyond what laws require through moral codes.
Lesson 2
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life found in a given area, including plants, animals, fungi and microorganisms. It is important because each species plays a role in ecosystems, maintaining balance and supporting life. Loss of biodiversity can have severe effects on human health by increasing exposure to diseases, reducing availability of resources like food and medicine, and diminishing ecosystem services such as water purification. Changes that bring humans and wildlife into closer contact can promote disease transmission both from animals to humans and vice versa. Loss of biodiversity also reduces ecosystem resilience, making communities less able to withstand disasters.
Planes
This document outlines a framework for analyzing works of art. It discusses three key planes of analysis: 1) the semiotic plane, which examines visual elements and techniques, 2) the iconic plane, which considers subject matter and composition, and 3) the contextual/axiological plane, which evaluates the values and meaning conveyed within historical and social contexts. By moving through these three planes of analysis, one can determine a work's semantic focus, boundaries, and ideological orientations to understand the dialogic relationship between artwork and viewer.
Utilitarianism
This document provides an overview of utilitarian moral philosophy as developed by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. It discusses key concepts of utilitarianism like consequentialism, hedonism, and producing the greatest good for the greatest number. It also examines criticisms of utilitarianism and how Mill attempted to address these criticisms through his concept of rule utilitarianism and emphasizing the quality of happiness over just the quantity.

The Components of Art
The document discusses various components of art including subject matter, style, content, form, media, technique, and context. It provides examples to illustrate different styles such as period style, regional style, and individual style. It also discusses levels of content in works of art including subject matter, elements/composition, and underlying meanings/themes. Realism and representation in art are contrasted with expressionism and abstraction.
Morality in Ethics
This document discusses the foundations of morality. It defines morality as the quality of human acts which leads us to call some good and some bad. It explores the foundations of morality, including man, the human other, and God. It examines perspectives on what defines man, such as being a rational animal. It also discusses the determinants of morality, including the act itself, the motive, and circumstances. Finally, it covers issues concerning man's morality, such as abortion, contraception, and euthanasia.
St. Thomas Aquinas Philosophy
Saint Thomas Aquinas was a 13th century Catholic priest and philosopher who synthesized Aristotle's philosophy with Catholic theology. His two most influential works were the Summa Theologica and Summa Contra Gentiles. In the Summa Theologica, he extensively discusses man, arguing that man is substantially both body and soul, with the soul being the principle of life and action in the body. Aquinas' philosophy is considered highly influential to this day.
Running
Running is a popular physical activity, but it requires a lot of hard work. It takes time to improve your time and distance, but it is very rewarding afterwards.
The Olympics- Beach Volleyball
Beach volleyball is a sport played by two teams on a sand court divided by a net. The aim is to hit the ball so it lands on the opponent's side of the court without being returned, earning a point. Teams must win by two points with a minimum score of 15. Beach volleyball originated as a casual game on beaches in Hawaii in 1915 and became an Olympic sport in 2000.
