How Do We Treat Hardworking People?

Teaching others about why hierarchy exists is a little difficult to entertain since mostly it is construed as inequality. In other country's culture, this is even considered a norm. Hierarchies necessitates a ruling class. Organizations require different payscales. Man's search for equality has bred injustice in its own sphere, and history was a witness to a lot of bloodshed.

Today, social issues remain the same. Everyday we are confronted by the failure of the government to address certain issues. Poverty alleviation should be the number one priority of a developing country. The government must be willing to allow more direct investments in order to create more jobs.

Now, more than ever, shopping malls in the Philippines offer a glimpse of the state of the labor market. I, myself, love going to the malls, and when I see hardworking people in my favorite shops, I see issues the establishment failed to resolve. The minimum wage is unsustainable. Some merchants do not pay overtime. Most of them are standing until the end of their shift.

And yet, these hardworking people are empowered in some way. They can really make a difference. Excellent customer service boosts the mood of some people. Companies empower their sales force with some degree of authority. When customers are delighted by the customer service, then those customers deserve to be a loyal customer.

How to Create a Richly Imagined World

For someone who likes fantasy and sci-fi fiction, most of the time, a lot of people ask me about how to create a richly imagined world. Fantasy and sci-fi elements rest heavily on how an author weave the setting and the world in which the heroes dwell in, and it helps to make the novel to be imagined vividly in the readers' minds. A convincing world should be relatable, something that we can associate ourselves with. For us to be associated with a world an author created in his mind, and wrote on the pages of a book, this world has to be close to the real thing. It has to be systematic, real and alive, and very convincing. A real world has certain elements, and an author must consider them in writing a vividly imagined world: Cartography - a fantasy or sci-fi world depend heavily on geography and maps, especially if the plot requires war and the belligerents occupy so much space in the plot. A convincing world has the world separated in territories, and every part of the...

Simple Machine

A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines that were defined by Renaissance scientists: Lever Wheel and axle Pulley Inclined plane Wedge Screw A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single work load. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. The machine can increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load. The ratio of the output to the applied force is called the mechanical advantage. Simple machines can be regarded as the elementary "building blocks" of which all more complicated machines (sometimes called compound machines) are composed. For example, wheels, levers, and pulleys are all use...

Theodicy

Theodicy means vindication of God. It is to answer the question why a good God permits the manifestation of evil, thus resolving the issue of the problem of evil. Some theodicies also address the evidential problem of evil by attempting "to make the existence of an all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-good or omnibenevolent God consistent with the existence of evil or suffering in this world." Unlike a defense, which tries to demonstrate that God's existence is logically possible in the light of evil, a theodicy attempts to provide a framework where God's existence is also plausible. The German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz coined the term "theodicy" in 1710 in his work Théodecée, through various responses to the problem of evil that had been previously proposed. The British philosopher John Hick traced the history of moral theodicy in his 1966 work, Evil and the Love of God, identifying three major traditions: the Plotinian theodicy, named a...
