- 141: Transcendentalism and A Belief In A "Higher Power"
- ... basic lack of logic and reasoning makes this a weak argument. Another of the arguments is the design argument. This states that the universe is far too structured and complex to be derived from a big bang, or another random sequence of events. A transcendental "watchmaker" is the only explanation for the complexities of the universe, say proponents of this argument. The weak link in this argument is that for the many ... God. This seems like a reasonable argument, but one of its premises is shaky. There is no good reason to state that there cannot be an infinite series of causes. Scientists might argue for the Big Bang theory as a beginning to our universe, but it also could have had a cause. Another shaky premise of the argument is the last one. Why does the end of the chain have ...

For example, it appeared from The Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa. As it happened, the Eurasian Higher Command had launched its offensive in South India and left North Africa alone.

- ... of it s citizens. While Brave New World looks upon sexual freedom, George Orwell s famous novel 1984 looks upon sexual repression in an anti-utopian society. This society is purely totalitarian. Run by the Big Brother; Oceania s motto is War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength (18). Citizens of Oceania are watched like inmates.

- 148: The Cosmos: Creation
- The Cosmos: Creation Where is the universe from? Where is it going? How is it put together? How did it get to be this way. These are Big questions. Very easy to ask but almost impossible to answer. We want answers for philosophical reason having nothing to do with science. No one will get rich from discovering the structure of the universe unless they right a book about it. The area of science dealing with Big questions is called cosmology. The reason for it's study is found in the fact that: The universe was born at a specific time in the past and has expanded ever since. The Expansion of ... has its center everywhere and its edge nowhere." This theory has one fact that is inescapable. The universe was not always there but did have an beginning.

- 150: Cuckoos Nest
- ... images and fascinations become central symbols of the book. The constant associations with machinery and the ‘Combine’ which he describes as being a “huge organisation that aims to adjust the Outside as well as she [Big Nurse] has the inside”(27), present the reader with more of Keseys ideas. The Combine is the opposite to everything natural. It represents everything which is “smooth, accurate” precise and organised. The Big Nurse is seen as the Combines primary tool in ‘adjusting the Inside’ : “I see her sit in the centre of this web of wires like a watchful robot, tend her network with mechanical insect skill, know every second which wire runs where and just what current to send up to get the results she wants.” The Big Nurse symbolises all that is sterile, mechanical, conformed and unnatural - a mechanical matriarchy. Women, such as the Nurse Ratched, feature in Kesey’s novel in either of two lights. Either as a “ball-cutter” ...
