I. State the argument
William James’s argument in the essay, ‘The Will to Believe’ invalidated the evidentialist’s approaches to religious belief. As a believer, James argued that it is the fundamental duty of every religious person to focus on the truth in the faith and avoid any falsehoods.

Considering alcohol products as indicated in this view point, the distribution of tax-free alcohol products would mean low process. This would encourage high levels of consumption or even overconsumption. For such products, this would endanger lives and even encourage reduced productivity towards economy building activities within the society. Sin tax is of course fair.

The job proved fatal for slaves, Continue reading...

Personality tests can be beneficial to some doctors when they are striving to diagnose psychiatric disorders, and they are informative to law enforcement when they are trying to understand the actions of a serial killer. Additionally, certain types of tests can be helpful to school systems (to keep from hiring a sex-offender, for example), or manufacturers or sellers of firearms (to keep the mentally ill from purchasing a weapon), or even to financial institutions (to ensure that millions are stolen from customers). Doctors, law enforcement, and the military (in these examples), are trained in the uses of personality tests. Continue reading...

Osmosis Skincare is promoting a drinkable product that it claims would serve to act as sunscreen owing to ‘standing waves’ set up by water molecules just below the skin.
