Universe Origins: Glossary of Terms
Understanding the technical jargon behind the science of the universe’s origins is simplified with this glossary.
- Anisotropy: The variation of a physical property depending on the direction in which it’s measured. For example, the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation.
- Antimatter: Material composed entirely of antiparticles.
- Antiparticle: A counterpart to every particle having the same mass but opposite properties at a quantum level (electrical

Saint Augustine: Life, Philosophy, and Faith
Saint Augustine: Life and Historical Context
Saint Augustine (354-430 AD) lived during a difficult time. Originally from Numidia in North Africa, he experienced the social upheavals characteristic of the fall of the Roman Empire, which must have been a significant human and transcendental experience. The Empire had adopted Christianity as its official religion in 380 AD. Augustine’s reflections, therefore, were based on his observations, interpreting and making sense of the facts. At the time, followers

Why Teamwork Matters
A team is a group of individuals who work together effectively to produce products and deliver services. Teamwork is strongly encouraged in organizations because it serves important functions. It can be a source of motivation and satisfaction for members, and it also improves an organization’s effectiveness. According to Edgar Schein, teams are created for two basic reasons: functional and psychological.
Functional Reasons for Teamwork
Functional reasons include working on complex
Read MoreStructural and Social Uses of Discourse Analysis
If the informal use of discourse analysis is essentially the time in which the discourse takes to count words, the essential structural use is the permanence or invariance combining relational logic and gives meaning to words and/or propositions put together in speech.
The main idea of structural use of discourse analysis is to know the code or set of relational rules mandating any text. Collect synthetically different languages from which subjects express ourselves through objects:

UN Meeting: Addressing the Yugoslav Conflict Atrocities
Good afternoon, everyone, to the 3055th meeting of the United Nations. Today, we are united to implement a solution to the Yugoslavian conflict.
When the first news and accounts of the atrocities committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia began to surface, the collective memory of our peoples had to relive the horror of times we had thought long past. But there are lessons to be learned from history. Conditions have changed since the Second World War. The United Nations now has the responsibility

Nature and Culture
Introduction:
From the Cro-Magnon man, Homo sapiens has not evolved significantly; our bodies remain fundamentally the same as they have been for thousands of years. However, our culture has undergone a spectacular development. Culture distinguishes and separates us from animals. There is a significant difference between basic biological processes, like digestion, and complex human activities, such as solving a square root or building a cathedral. The humanization process involves

1. a. Prokaryotes:
- DNA is located in a Nucleoid region, not surrounded by a membrane.
- Direct cell division, mainly by binary fission.
- No centrioles and spindle microtubules.
- Sexual systems are few; if any sexual intercourse occurs, it is by transfer from a donor to a recipient.
- Few multicellular forms; absence of tissue development.
- Anaerobic, facultative, aerobic, and microaerophilic forms.
- Absence of mitochondria: enzymes for oxidation
Plato and St. Thomas Aquinas: Philosophy Compared
Plato’s Key Philosophical Concepts
Politics is a cornerstone in Plato’s philosophy. His primary objective is to define the virtues. Socrates argues that we must have something common to all possible conceptions of justice and courage. This common element, which he calls an “Idea,” would be seen as eternal and objective, not relative, as the Sophists claimed.
At this stage, Plato develops his theory of the duplication of the world, expressed in the Myth of the Cave:
- The sensible or material world is
