The thesis statement in this essay is that although torture may provide information, the means by which this information ...

Max Weber in his social theory elaborated without clarity four main types of rationality. It was his position that rationality existed in four main variants; formal, substantive, practical and theoretical. According to Weber, rationality sufficed for purposes of rationalizing society into the modern form it has assumed.

Ignore everybody

This idea has always appealed to me. In fact, it defines my principles and informs some of my strengths. Originality dictates that one tries out new things. One does not have to do what others have already done. In business, people are advised to be risk averse or if anything risk neutral. This goes against my principle. I believe in trying out new things. In that regard, I appreciate the concept of ignoring others. People tend to be averse to risk and would want to try only tried and tested methods. However, this usually limits their potential and leads ...
