Answer by joseph
Hegel’s lectures on the Philosophy of World History.

(1) The Oriental Realm (mind in its immediate substance)

Here Spirit exists in its substantiality (objectivity) without inward differentiation. Individuals have no self-consciousness of personality or of rights–they are still immersed in external nature (and their divinities are naturalistic as well). Hegel characterizes this stage as one of consciousness in its immediacy, where subjectivity and substantiality are unmediated. In his Philosophy of History Hegel discusses China, India, and Persia specifically and suggests that these cultures do not actually have a history but rather are subject to natural cyclical processes. The typical governments of these cultures are theocratic and more particularly despotism, aristocracy, and monarchy respectively. Persia and Egypt are seen as transitional from these “unhistorical” and “non-political” states. Hegel calls this period the “childhood” of Spirit.

I Got a Question About Drugs =O?

Question by Enrique: I got a question about drugs =o?
Do you believe that an educational program such as D.A.R.E. can take kids away from drugs, or are there reasons for teenage drug abuse so complex that a single school based program is doomed to fail?

Best answer:

Answer by darcey
Good question. I would have to say both. kids are so diverse that it is hard to find the right program to fit all types of kids.

Answer by Dan
The DARE program doesn’t work:

In 2001, the Surgeon General of the United States placed the D.A.R.E. program in the category of “Does Not Work”

Researchers at Indiana University in 1992 found that those who completed the D.A.R.E. program subsequently had significantly higher rates of hallucinogenic drug use than those not exposed to the program.

“Substance Abuse” and “issues” ?

Question by ninjagirlz: “Substance abuse” and “issues” ?
Why is it that it is said that all people who use “substances” have some sort of other issues, or that they use them to escape whatever their problems are ? Cant some people just use them occasionally because they like how they make them feel?? Just a thought.

Best answer:

Answer by JAMES A N
Not all substance users have severe emotional/mental issues. In fact, many people who do choose to use a substance don’t become addicted and develop problematic tendencies. People do refer to this though because a large population of drug users get high for the sole reason of escaping reality, depression, physical pain or other underlying mental conditions.
