Chapter XIII

Of the Natural Condition of Mankind as Concerning Their Felicity and Misery

Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he. For as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself.

And as to the faculties of the mind, setting aside the arts grounded upon words, and especially that skill of proceeding upon general and infallible rules, called science, which very few have and but in few things, as being not a native faculty born with us, nor attained, as prudence, while we look after somewhat else, I find yet a greater equality amongst men t

Excerpts of Tony Abbott's speech to the National Press Club on 2 Feb 2014
  1. 2014 was a tumultuous year that’s reminded us to expect the unexpected.

  2. Thirty eight Australians were shot out of the sky by Russian-backed rebels.

  3. A death cult, claiming justification in Islam, is creating a new dark age over much of Syria and Iraq.

  4. And the terrorism it inspires has hit Melbourne and Sydney.

  5. It was an anxious year for our well-being, as well as for our security.

Philadelphia is rich in history, but it is not now the captial of the United States, so the US Congress must meet somewhere else.

You know, dogs make a sweet pet. They get all happy like when you come home, you get to take them walking, and they'll protect you from intruders. Even if you don't want a pet, you should still get a dog because they are that awesome.

write a short essay on the peter ellerton's account of critical thinking
Peter Ellerton's account of critical thinking is an important contribution to the field of critical thinking. Ellerton defines critical thinking as a process of inquiry that involves the use of reasoning, evidence, and argumentation to reach a conclusion. He emphasizes the importance of being able to think critically in order to make sound judgments and decisions.
Ellerton's account of critical thinking is based on the idea that the process of critical thinking involves the use of both inductive and deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves the use of evidence and argumentation to reach a conclusion, while deductive reasoning involves the use of logical principles to reach a conclusion. Ellerton also emphasizes the importance of being able to recognize and evaluate arguments, as well as the importance of being able to identify and evaluate evidence.
Ellerton's account of critical thinking is also based on the idea that the pro
