PHILOSOPHY 006: Introduction to Philosophy
MIDTERM EXAMINATION, FALL SEMESTER, 2017
Prof. Smith, College of the Desert
Read carefully the following passage from Aristotle:
Most of the earliest philosophers regarded principles of a material kind as the only principles of all
things. That of which all things consist, from which they are originally generated, and into which they
are finally dissolved, is persisting substance, although its attributes change. This, they affirm, is the
element and first principle of Being (arche). . . Hence, too, they hold that nothing is either generated or
annihilated, as this primary entity always persists.
Question (1): Show how the "earliest philosophers" arrived at the conclusion that "nothing is either
generated or annihilated".
Question (2): Here is our class lecture definition of substance: That which remains self-identical
regardless of any changes it can undergo; the unchanging foundation for change.
Consider an ordinary artifact, say, a dining room table that is constructed entirely out of wood.
According to the definition of substance given in our class lectures, answer the following questions.
a) Is the table a substance?
b) Is the wood of which the table is composed a substance?
c) Is the tree from which the wood originates a substance?
d) Are the wood molecules of which the table is composed substances?
e) Are the atoms of which the table is composed substances?
Justify your answers.

Walden Criminal Justice Interventions Against Criminal Organizations Proposal
Over the past 2 weeks, you have examined several different criminal justice interventions for combating criminal organizations. As you did so, you may have had some initial thoughts about whether those interventions are or would be effective for combating criminal organizations in your own community. Periodically reviewing the effectiveness of existing criminal justice interventions is important because criminal organizations are constantly evolving and what once worked well may no longer be effective. New or different interventions may be needed to keep up with the threat of those organizations.For this Assignment, imagine that you are tasked with developing a proposal to improve criminal justice interventions against criminal organizations in your community. Think about existing interventions you would continue to use and the ones you would replace. Submit a 950- to 1,350-word proposal that includes the following components:Part I: Current Interventions (350–500 words)Briefly summarize existing law enforcement, judicial, and correctional interventions used to combat criminal organizations in your community.Explain which interventions should be retained and which interventions should be eliminated or changed and why.Part II: Proposed Interventions (350–500 words)Propose at least one new intervention that should be implemented for each of the criminal justice subsystems (law enforcement, courts, and corrections).Explain why each would be more effective than current interventions alone.Part III: Obstacles (250–350 words)Describe the obstacles you may encounter while attempting to implement these recommendations.Explain how you could overcome the obstacles. Be specific.

Your score:Your reasoning:The RabbitsYour score:Your reasoning:My Grandma Lived in GooligulchYour score:Your reasoning:Possum MagicYour score:Your reasoning:Based on your scoring, is the reading representative enough of Aboriginal culture? In this 21st century global society, new books are more international, more Americanized in their feel and viewpoint than specific to a culture. And remember, there are two at least formative cultures: Aboriginal and White European; both need representation, in appropriate balance.Did you feel that this lesson seems Australian?

Please be specific with details from the books and the criteria to support your answer.The aboriginal folk stories are difficult to locate, since the culture is not committed to written communication and is very secretive about its legends. When a group is treated as badly as aboriginals were, the task for white collectors becomes even more difficult. So these stories are rare.What do you see in these stories that is different from the other folktales we’ve read? Do they need editing for our purposes?

This book is available at public libraries. What have you learned about Antarctica from this book?Cinderella story from Antarctica—no need to visit, but I thought you might want to know about The Penguin Cinderella, and the Glass Flipper.Sophie Scott Goes South by Alison Lester ()Lesson 12 LectureBefore you begin:Two articles recommended by former students as background to this lesson:Aoriginal Culture (http://www.aboriginalculture.com.au/introduction.html)Australian Legacy (https://www.sacred-texts.com/aus/alt/alt36.html)Konrad Krupa, who took this class in summer 2018 gave me permission to use his research:This class was different enough that I decided to write a preface.To even attempt to understand the Australian culture and its representation in tales we need to familiarize ourselves with Australian culture and history.The central aspect of its culture are the two different social groups; Aboriginal, the local tribes that have been occupying Australia until 1788, and the White Europeans. Those two groups represent not only two different ethnic groups but most importantly represent two different groups from culture and civilization advancement point of view. The first group represents more “primitive” and less civilized society, which is reflected in the first set of tales for this class. The second group, more civilized, can be associated with the modern Australian picture books covered in this class.The Aboriginal tribes’ tales are very specific, and the common denominators between them are the “fear” and “ghostly” environment. The tricks planted by the main characters reflect the primitive culture. In the aboriginal tales, again, we have translations and choices of stories by European-educated collectors, who may or may not be white. The racism in these stories was probably more acceptable in the last century, but it clearly needs attention now. And both sides of the Australian story, the aboriginal and the white European, need attention in this lesson, so that the reader of our textbook gets a fuller sense of the Australian experience and what Australian children's literature is like. So you have two selections to read, a novel and some native aboriginal tales.Previous Australia lessons have featured a novel chosen by previous students, who identified it, found it superior to another novel found by previous students, and identified the need for a novel that showed the differences between Australia and the United States. Because these novels [six of them in thirteen years] keep going out of print, there's a new lesson/set of assignments that are less likely to be unavailable.It’s been difficult to find an Australian novel written by an Australian, available for purchase in this country. Like Canada and even the United States, Australia has been late in developing its own literary tradition apart from England, but its children’s literature is voluminous—and in English, so we don’t need to worry about translation [though we may need a glossary]. Unfortunately, book publishers haven’t made these books available for purchase in the U.S., so no novel has stayed very long in this course—I think this is number 6--the number 5 novel went out of print.I really worked hard to find another alternative to this book--but I can't find one that you can purchase in this country! I’m offering a challenge to anyone who can find a children’s novel that’s as good, still in print, available in public libraries and easily purchased at the usual ebooksellers.Before you beginThe major contributors to this lesson are former students Veronika Froehlich, Carrie Allwine, Sarah Foster, Don Bixler, and Gail Haze, all members of the summer 2007 class.Here’s a website that starts you off with information about traditional stories in Australia: http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/mff/oceania_australia.htmBefore you readConsider the purpose of the stories this week--explaining other cultures, including magical, secretive ones--so that you can understand the contrast of the aboriginal stories with what we have read so far.Also keep a list of Australian words and slang that you don’t know.AnecdoteMy spouse works for an Australian software company. Australians pop in to our lives all the time. They are some of the most hard-working, hard-living, hard-playing people I have ever met, broad and friendly, and noisy!Thanksgiving is not their holiday, but they have come to our home anyway for a feast. They really have trouble understanding why anyone would serve cranberry sauce to guests. Why would something that obnoxious be considered a delicacy? Perhaps some of you agree.This December, I learned a new Christmas carol, from New Zealand, where it's summer in December. Who ever heard of a Northern Christmas carol with 'beach' as a rhyme word?
Carol our Christmas, and upside-down Christmas:snow is not falling and trees are not bare.Carol the summer, and welcome the Christ Child,warm in our sunshine and sweetness of air.Sing of the gold and the green and the sparkle,water and river and lure of the beach.Sing in the happiness of open spaces,sing a nativity summer can reach!Shepherds and musterers* move over hillside,finding, not angels, but sheep to be shorn;Wise ones make journeys, whatever the season,searching for signs of the truth to be born.Rightside-up Christmas belongs to the universe,made in the moment a woman gives birth;Hope is the Jesus gift, love is the offering,everywhere, anywhere, here on the earth.Music: Reversi Colin Gibson (20th C)Words: Shirley Erena Murray (20th C)*musterers are ranchersHere’s what the song sounds like:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1mzFHophV4
