Love In Plato's Symposium As A Technique Of Self, Aidan T. Connors

Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review

Plato's Symposium is widely regarded as among the most influential of Plato's dialogues. The Symposium's primary goal is to provide an adequate definition of love and its overall place within the philosophical inquiry. Each of Plato's interlocutors offers a unique account of love, what it might be, and more especially, how one ought to behave in relation to love. This paper will use the insights of Michel Foucault, a 20th-century French philosopher known for critiquing our present-day cultural practices through a reading of the history of thought, in order to shed some light on how love in the Symposium can …

Connecting In A Virtual World: Lessons From A Geography Classroom, Annaka Exley, Julia Lopez, Kyle Roberts, Dylan Upperman, A'Ngelay Walter

Mountaineer Undergraduate Research Review

Since its conception in the 1960s, Geographic Information Systems or Science (GIS) has revolutionized how people make maps and utilize geospatial information. GIS, a tool typically used in quantitative applications, has vastly expanded mapping and computing capabilities and undoubtedly transformed the field of geography. In addition to its technical origins, GIS has more recently been explored as a social or cultural tool to share stories and collect qualitative data.

Gadianton Robbers As Guerrilla Warriors

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Guerrilla warfare has become depressingly familiar to us from places like China, Nicaragua, Angola, Cuba, Korea, the Spanish Sahara, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Although guerrilla tactics have received much attention and achieved notable success in the so-called "Cold War," they are not really new. On the contrary, they can be identified in ancient times-and the Book of Mormon provides a particularly clear example of them.

New Compilation Of Gnostic Scriptures Is Now Available

Insights: The Newsletter of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship

Many early Christians sought gnosis (knowledge) by revelation, inspiration and testimony; hence, they were known as Gnostics. But eventually they were branded as heretics and their writings were suppressed. Although many gnostic views were eccentric, their emphasis on revelation and ritual reflected important aspects of early Christianity that soon were lost. Now many of their writings are conveniently available in a new English translation.

Is Early Sport Specialization Harming Our Children?, Kendra Dunsford Dpt, Scs, Stc, Preeti Oza Pt, Phd

Pacific Journal of Health

Sports and physical activity in children are healthy and have numerous positive mental and physical health benefits. Recently, there has been a shift away from deliberate play and focusing on specializing in a single sport from a young age. Participating in rigorous training and competition schedules 8 months out of the year for prepubescent athletes has garnered attention from the medical community. It is assumed that this type of early specialization has the potential to cause negative effects, especially in terms of overuse injuries, nutritional deficiencies, poor sleep hygiene, and mental health concerns. While there appears to be a consensus …
