a> In order not to prejudge the issue, we shall take objective thought on its own terms and not ask it any questions which it doesn't ask itself.
b> We cannot remain in this dilemma of having to fail to understand either the subject or the object.
c> If we are led to rediscover the experience behind it, this shift to ground will be attributed only to the difficulties which objective thought itself raises.
d>We must discover the origin of the object at the very centre of our experience; we must describe the emergence of being and we must understand how,paradoxically, there is for us an in-itself.

We keep trying to explain away American fundamentalism. Those of us not engaged personally or emotionally in the biggest political and cultural movement of our times- those on the sidelines of history- keep trying to come up with theories with which to discredit the evident allure of this punishing yet oddly comforting idea of a deity, this strange god. His invisible hand is everywhere, say His citizen-theologians, caressing and fixing every outcome. Little league games, job searches, test scores, the spread of sexuality transmitted diseases, the success or failure of terrorist attacks (also known as "signs"), victory or defeat in battle, at the ballot box, in bed. _______________________________.

A) A divine love that speaks through hurricanes. B) Those unable to feel His soothing touch at moments such as this snort at the notion of a god with the patience or the prurience to monitor every tick and twitch of desire. C) Who would worship such as god? D) His followers must be dupes, or saps, or fools, their faith illiterate, insane, or misinformed, their strength fleeting, hollow, an aberration.

what is the remainder :

(128^1000)/153??

Hi guys this is a essay on topic "Is china the new superpower". Can you score it out of 10?

China the largest and most industrilious country of Asia is the hub of all trade in that continent. All most all of the manufacturing is concentrated in fractions of the chinese land. From the purview of collonial rule, the chinese have grown far and wide from their conservative and recluse society.

A majority of companies have atleast one manufactring plant in China. Cheap producation, swift policies, govenment aide, ease of business, incentives are the powerful impetuses for thriving companies in the mainland.

Recently China has started shiting its focus on education and healtcare. There are more people coming to Chinda for education and healtcare than a decade ago. This has provided jobs and more opportunities to the most populous country in the world apart from manufacturing, thus increasing skills and versatality of its people and also easing its hardcore repressive image.

A superpower like USA is paramount in almost all the fields, be it techonogy, defence, services or manufacturing. The chinese mainland is catchig up in fields it is behind, those are research, technology and defense. Chinese military equipments are finding their way to some developing countries and almost all the big tech companies have a research center in China. Research helps bring new products which then dominate the markets.

A vox populi about China is that the concentraton of power in few hands will likely burst its growth bubble but facts show otherwise. China is No. 1 in corruption, the leaders of china are valued more than $19billion. Its known for its suppresion and intolerance however even all of that hasn't stopped this country from growing.

Even at home we find Chinese candles, Chinese 'Pichkaris' and even China made 'Ganesh Ji'. The chinese governement is very shrewd and progressive. Its wants to dominate the world in manufacturing. The Chinese government issues incentives to their manufactures for the goods and they are then exported below the cost price to other nations, rendering their own industries unable to compete with such low prices. Its prudently killing other indutrious to make it the only viable option for manufacturing.

With almost all the manufacturing, research concentrated in this mainland its enjoys unchallenged powers over the world economy. After the fall of the erstwhile Soviet Union, world power has largely been shifted to the USA which needs to be balanced, China is the only plausible option which we see today and other nations are supporting it in being a balancing force to big daddy USA.

Even if it isn't as big a superpower as USA, its surely is a superpower given its might in industries and overall balanced factions. With the clamoring of a balancing force to USA the mainland finds support. Its ever growing support and growth will one day propel it to surpass the United States and make it the uno Superpower.
