The obligation to the sovereign lasts only if the ruler is able to protect his nation. Hobbes naturally discourages civil disobedience. But hence the ruler loses his power, the subjects do not need him and may transfer their obedience to a new ruler.

From this thesis follow a number of revolutionary propositions:

It can easily be forgotten that a family is supposed to work together and provide support to all of its members. It is with that support and caring atmosphere that can help the children to grow up healthy and prepared for life. A family whose bonds are weak, however, will lack in support and the children can grow up with an unhealthy idea of how to make friends, of how to be confident in their selves and be relatively unprepared for the life they will have to live on their own. Children...

This attitude proclaims loudly, “As long as it doesn’t...

I felt strange.

Does subliminal perception really occur? Can anyone be able to observe something involuntarily without being conscious about it? These questions were raised to challenge the scientific validity of such claims. Experiments were conducted to prove that subliminal perception was indeed a fact.

Messages were flashed briefly and fast to the test subjects by the researchers. The subjects did not report seeing any of these. The subjects were asked whether they 'saw' the material that...
