Integrated Human Studies Wiki/E-Portfolio. toc "A wiki is a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site visitors. A great example of a large wiki is the Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia  in many languages that anyone can edit. The term "wiki" comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which  means "super fast." I guess if you have thousands of users adding content to a Web site on a regular basis,  the site could grow "super fast." []

The Shawshank Redemption.... If anyone would like to watch & feel beauty of life, beauty of friendship & beauty of mind...... do watch " The Shawshank Redemption"... THE ULTIMATE ONE.......  Reproducing the final letter from Andy to Red before they meet across the border



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">" Dear Red, If you’re reading this, you’ve gotten out, And if you have come this far, maybe you are willing to come a little farther.  You remember the name of the town, don’t you?  I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels .I’ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready.  Remember Red, Hope is a good thing, and may be the best of things and no good thing ever dies.  I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.  Your friend, Andy" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">[]

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">What makes life as we know it real? And is this reality that we talk about, our emotional reaction to time based <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">on our position in space, or something false that we cannot and will not ever truly understand? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Are they ways of measuring such things?

=<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px;">Social Outcasting! = <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">One Way or Another People Sometimes Just Don't Understand! media type="youtube" key="r0Z2IJuS5Ks" height="315" width="560"

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Take this simple self experiment. Shut your eyes and imagine that you are somewhere else. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Then open your eyes and think about that place. Where are you? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">How did you get there, or are you just where you started from before the experiment?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The mind has an amazing ability to sense things, and perceive things in a space and time way.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">A picture tells 1000 words, but in terms of altruism it is a question that I have never really given too much thought about. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">This picture depicts a beggar begging for alms. I have probably seen in India, China, Egypt 1000's of beggars all seeking alms. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The looks on their faces and the kind woman offering, whilst in the background a Roman soldier looks surprised. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">This is not a lesson in Art History, but it is a famous painting (referenced below)... <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The question I am trying to answer is why people beg? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Why do people offer alms to the beggars, and who decides whether this is right and wrong to beg or to give.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Essentially this could be seen as a faith based decision. By offering alms to a beggar, one might get the feeling <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">of helping someone less fortunate, but in a truly altruistic sense the thought of giving without expecting anything in <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">return is the true sense of the meaning of altruism in my opinion.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Some of the most altruistic people in the world in my opinion were the people who gave everything and got <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">nothing in return except, misery, ruin and eventually suffering and death. Michelangelo, Socrates, Jesus Christ... <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">They gave as much as they had, and people just took and eventually they lost their lives for it. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">This Wiki is a dedication to the fallen victims of altruism.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">So in terms of altruism, in its truest sense in my opinion, is all about giving and taking. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">To ask or to beg. Jesus explains to his disciples that the small sacrifices of the poor mean <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">more to God than the extravagant donations of the rich. This is furthered in the image below. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Where all the rich people seem content in their offerings however, they still have much more to give. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">I feel that in Australia people are usually quite generous. I feel that Australian's are accepting <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">of the values and beliefs of other people and when it comes down to it, we are about mates. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">I think that this is slightly different to many other people and societies, mainly because a lot of <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">other societies are about family.

=Our Legal System:= <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Our legal system is based on the Westminster System, which at its highest level interpretation represents, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;"> Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, as the closest voice coming from god. However, the treatment of the indigenous <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">people that is is disgraceful in this State. Giving alms is such a good place to reference the plight of an altruistic <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">manner especially in the case of indigenous people in Australia, they gave everything, their land, their art, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">their culture and what did they get for it? Nothing. Stolen generations, murder, deceit, ethnic cleansing and <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">all in who's cause?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">We are more than happy to turn our backs sometimes and look at the bigger picture of what is happening at the broader level. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The current version of our coat of arms was granted by [|King George V]. It depicts essentially Australia in its most altruistic form, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">for it is the symbol of Australia, what altruistic sensibility comes from its meaning is depicted in the Kangaroo, Emu, Wattle, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Southern Cross Star, the 6 States and 1 Territory, all on the Shield.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The interesting thing about the coat of arms is that there is no connection whatsoever with the aborigines. The shield is <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">sometimes represented as a symbol of peace, however Australia was taken, flags were raised and defended by <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">the power of Commonwealth Shield. As you can see in the State Emblems, most have some broader connection <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">to the Crown which is not actually part of the rest of the flora and fauna, because the government has been claiming <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Terra nullius ( <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">[|/][|ˈ][|t][|ɛr][|ə] [|n][|ʌ][|ˈ][|l][|aɪ][|.][|ə][|s][|/]) a [|Latin] expression deriving from [|Roman law] meaning "land belonging to no one" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">(or "[|no man's land]"),[|[1]] which is used in[|international law] to describe territory which has never been subject to the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">[|sovereignty] of any state, or over which any prior sovereign has expressly or implicitly relinquished sovereignty. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Sovereignty over territory which is terra nullius may be acquired through occupation,[|[2]] though in some cases doing <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">so would violate an international law or treaty.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">Is this a false fallacy because England gave up their right to claim this after they left the teachings of the Pope, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">in the creation of the Protestant Church whereby The Sovereign is the closest to god.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">The four most known and important contexts of what my study involves are time, space, matter and evolution. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">When we talk about the evolution of life on earth, we must think about the elements that are involved in the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">building blocks of life and to what extent various environmental parameters controlling life the known cycles <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">and the essential functions of each elemental interact between the building blocks and the evolution of such cycles <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">evolved over time in space.

The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "[|Runaround]", <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">although they had been foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws are:
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 140%;">A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
