Creating a creative presentation? So I'm basically suppose to create this philosophy presentation for my class in two weeks. My professor wanted my group to make a creative presentation by summarizing the article we read. It shouldn't be like a powerpoint presentation. It should be able to present the author's point. I have some ideas, but I'm not sure if they sound cool or creative or not. My current ideas include: Presenting the information like through family feud or some other game show (this would probably be my last choice) Making it like a news broadcast/interview and have a full on youtube video etc. Make a documentary/film depicting the article/summarizing it. Do you guys have any ideas? Or is there anything you like? For example,

What if little demons are the reasons we do bad things? Obviously this is not a new or revolutionary thought. This is not so much a thread about what is "good" and what is "bad". It also is not a thread about how we come to do bad things either. Rather it's more based upon whether or not spiritual beings/gods exist. I simply want to see how everyone respond to this thought. Let's assume that someone (I) made a statement saying [b] "Demons are the reasons I do bad things. You just can't see them making me do bad things. Just because you can't see them, like seeing god, doesn't mean they aren't there (and causing me to do bad things)."[/b] How would you respond/or try to counter this argument?

What should I name my anime webstore/website? So recently I've been doing business on eBay for about two years now. I'm tired of eBay and all of their fees. I plan on creating a new website/webstore. This will be my second website I'm making. The first one is a blog I'm working on. I need advice regarding the name of my new website. Obviously I still have to buy the domain name. However, I currently have some in mind. Which do you guys think is best? Not sure if these are available for purchase, but I can always vary it a bit. The store is suppose to have items such manga, anime dvds, and posters. [b]If you guys don't like the ones I have, can you suggest one[/b]? www.anime4u.com www.animecollectables.com Or maybe I will just create a websi

Any of you guys participating in Prime Day? Have you bought anything so far? I just spent $150 hahah. $100 on a Fire HD7. $25 on a daily deal. Then another $15 on a skylander thing. I wanted to see if I could buy the skylander item to resell on my eBay business. What's best is I get an additional 10% cashback thanks to my discover it credit card. I'm on a quest to buy $670 worth of items on Amazon. Update 1: Just bought $232 of the $670 needed. Update 2: Hey guys! I recently wrote a blog post about how I plan to profit off of the Amazon Prime Day deals. You should try it out. The deals today aren't just for saving money. You can potentially make money off of this too! [url=http://www.financialbasis.com/manufacture-spending-through-amazon-pr

Do you find that sometimes love is petty/trivial? First of all, I'm not saying that all types of love are petty. However, often times I feel one's such as love at first sight seems pretty trivial. As the person may often love someone simply for their looks. In fact, in a way it seems petty even if you love someone for their personality. For example, let's say Boy A likes Girl A because she's smart and has trait W,X,Y,and Z. Would he also love Girl B as well if he found out that she was smart and had trait W,X,Y,Z too? Obviously there are other examples where I find that kind of love being petty, but I'm not going to go into it for simplicity sake. Is it because I watch too many Korean dramas that I feel this way? Or is there really no such

Any fellow EMTs out there that can answer my question So I'm a certified EMT. However, I did not manage to do anything with the certification. Basically I thought I was going to get my drivers license back when I took the class. 1 year later I finally got my drivers license because my parents finally let me get one (You basically can't work as an EMT if you can't drive an ambulance) I know I have to do some stuff to get continuing education credit and probably take an EVOC (emergency vehicle driving course) course However, I'm afraid that reading my old notes and book will not help me remember the information. Should I retake the class? What should I do so that I would be prepared to work as an EMT? What should I do so that a potential empl

Should I take OChem at a Community College? So what do you guys think I should do? I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I currently hope to apply to Physician Assistant school. However my GPA is around a 3.2-3.3 which is the bare minimum to even be considered. I'm probably taking a gap year to do more volunteer/clinical work. However, I want to try and finish applying and interviewing by the end of next semester. Who knows, I may still possibly get in. My problem is that as implied, I still have to finish taking at least Ochem 1. I know that if I take the class at my university, I will most likely get a B no matter what happens. Which will take my GPA down further. However, if I do not take it at my university, PA schools look down upon it

Difference between describing and explaining? I'm writing an essay right now and I seem to have trouble understanding what to write because some prompts ask me to describe and others ask me to explain. Can you guys help tell me how I should write an essay when it says to describe something? For example, one prompt says Describe Socrates' idea, and Thrasymacus' objection, and Socrates' response from Republic Book I (nevermind the name and what the prompt is asking etc). What should I do? For example is describing essentially listing everything that is in the argument in my own words? It wouldn't be summarizing because I'm including everything an not just the main points right? Or should I set it up where I don't say everything the author sai

Getting a laptop? Who to get from? Guys I need your opinion. I need to get a laptop but I have a dilemma right now. My mac is on the verge of dying and I need a new one. Right now I found a model on lenovo for 590$ and another one on eBay for 590$. They're both the same model and build just different site/shipping speed. Essentially the difference between them is that lenovo is brand new while the eBay seller who has 99.8% feedback is selling a "new like refurbished one". The eBay one also should arrive by my house on monday if I get it now. Where as the one from lenovo would take 2-4 weeks so I may not get it by mid-march at the latest. Do you guys think I should get the one from eBay or from Lenovo? The refurbished one seems ris
