Essay

Immanuel Kant: Reason and Freedom Immanuel Kant argues that being purely objective or purely rational and being independently free are two peas in a pod. As Kant argued in his widely known book Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, all human beings possess what he refers to as 'the idea of freedom' (Pasternack, 2002, 12). He builds his concept of categorical imperatives-- in the absence of which responsibility and morality would cease to exist-- upon the speculated idea that freedom is an omnipresent concept. Kant claims that it is clearly not possible for people to envision themselves as 'un-free' ( ...

Introduction

The term “warehousing” can be understood in English as “a storehouse for depositing goods and merchandise”. Suppose that the goods and merchandise are nothing but our good old data – sales reports, statistics, and business transactions – this will constitute a “data warehouse”. The concept of data warehousing states that data from older system is copied into a new system dedicated entirely for analyzing data. Data warehouse will store a substantial amount of historical data. Users of this system are able to continuously ask or query it to retrieve data for analysis. Many organizations have adopted this concept to informed decisions faster through the historical ...

Introduction

There lacks a safe way of nuclear disposal, despite the harm caused by nuclear waste. Nuclear power generates electricity with little emissions of carbon dioxide and other waste products, most of which are radioactive. These waste products can be harmful to both the environment and human life. Notwithstanding the risks that may be posed by poor nuclear disposal, most governments pay little attention to this issue, during public policy making. As a result, many communities place use of land on nuclear facilities on the top list of locally unwanted land uses (LULUs). Again, these communities do not have confidence on the ...
