...The Australian National University Research School of Accounting BUSN7050 Corporate Accounting First Semester 2016 TUTORIAL BUSN7050 Corporate Accounting Tutorial Semester 1, 2016 About Tutorials …So you begin by being uncertain as to what the answer is.…The question of doubt and uncertainty is what is necessary to begin; for if you already know the answer there is no need to gather any evidence about it.…[A]nother way and a very important one that should not be neglected and that is very vital is to put together ideas to try to enforce a logical consistency among the various things that you know. It is a very valuable thing to try to connect this, what you know, with that, that you know, and try to find out if they are consistent. And the more activity in the direction of trying to put together ideas of different directions, the better it is. …Now we have found that this is of paramount importance in order to progress. We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. Richard P. Feynman, Nobel Laureate Tutorials serve a variety of purposes. One purpose is to give you an opportunity to improve your understanding by completing the set questions. In addition, tutorial participation encourages the development of problem solving and critical thinking skills as well as oral communication skills and written communication...

...exists is a crucial question in philosophy. René Descartes formulates the idea of the all good being, God, in Meditation Three of his essay entitled, Meditations on First Philosophy. The philosopher begins his essay doubting everything that is around him, his senses, his thoughts, and even basic arithmetic. The reason he wrote the essay was to find truth to his existence. It seems logical that Descartes introduced the evil demon, one that tries to instill doubt into the simplest of things, but the introduction of God being an all perfect being that does not let him be deceived, is not logically adequate. Descartes begins criticizing everything around him, essentially being a skeptic, but he ends up introducing an explanation, God, in order to answer the questions of doubt. I strongly disagree with Descartes’ introduction of God in Meditation Three because he is not being consistent with the methods of the first two meditations therefore not achieving his goal of solving questions of doubt. In Meditation One, Descartes begins to doubt everything he has experienced to date. He asks himself whether he exists, whether has past experiences actually happened and whether his senses are true to him. He finds senses to be deceptive sometimes and therefore believes that he cannot completely trust them. He even states the most obvious truths, such as arithmetic and geometry, could be false. Descartes supposes that everything he sees is false; that he has no senses whatever and that his body...

...English essay A teenage-life isne Isaksen like an adventure. Each day brings something new and you never know what to expect. For me, a teenager-life is hard to live. I can feel how the body changes. Many thoughts go into my mind. Many problems accurse; problems I did not have to deal with when I was 13 years old. Problems with my boyfriend and at home; that is a new task for me. It is hard to focus when these problems are in my head. To pretend to be happy at all times is difficult in the age of 13-17. All kinds of problems pop into my head and I have no idea how to handle them. For me the exams are just around the corner and it is not exactly easy to cope with the pressure when I don’t feel ready. Perhaps I grew up to fast; I did not focus on my schooling – it was much more fun to smoke and drink with my friends weekend after weekend. I am paying for it now. I really want to make an effort when it comes to my schooling. My parents are divorced and it is not easy to be a child and listen to what they have to say to each other. My parents’ divorce was stressful to me and I never wanted them to separate. My mother moves to Dubai for five years – I will see my mother ten times during ten years. I wish I could see her more. Love is difficult. It has been a struggle for me to find a boyfriend but I have been very lucky to meet a young man who loves me. He treats me like a princess and I feel happy and safe with him. I have made a lot of mistakes the last two years and...

...Direction each wanted to be solo artists. Yet if it hadn't been for that twist of fate and the discovery from "X Factor", One Direction wouldn't have been where they are today! Other than music videos, the boy band has no acting experience, yet they have 80 MILLION views on YouTube! The closest this boy band has gotten to acting is when Nickelodeon made their online diaries into a weekly television show as of March 2012. Only one of their singles, "That's What Makes You Beautiful" was on the Billboard Top 100, but that doesn't mean they aren't famous! They have performed on news broadcasts like the Today Show, where over 10,000 screaming fans came to New York to watch them perform. Zayn, Liam, Harry, Niall, and Louis are already famous, but no doubt they'll keep their fans by making more songs! Big Time Rush. The early morning "only thing to watch" band with a television show. Okay, okay. I have to admit their show is a bit cheesy. But there's no question...

...ESSAY The course ‘Person in context of changes’ positively affected my outlook on the world. I did not use to ask myself philosophical questions because I am not much of a thinker. But I found that it is quite interesting and absorbing to rack my brain over freedom, trying to figure out whether it has positive or negative meaning. The most interesting thoughts were actually delivered by Jared Diamond, who is a modern scientist and who is looking solutions to eternal problems like collapses of civilizations from the angle of history and science. I became acquainted with his findings after reading about agricultural revolution. The humanity always tries to find these milestones in its history when it has chosen a certain direction. It I like a crossroads. Such a milestone is believed to be the year 1917 for Russia, when it has chosen the Communist path. In Diamond’s book I learnt about another milestone in the history of the whole planet. He actually doubted the widely accepted idea that life of humans improved greatly after it started developing agriculture. We were taught that after people started to crop plants they got more time for arts because there was now more time left to devote to hobbies. Diamond made counterarguments to these statements which amazed me. I found that my understanding of the world and history is very doubtful. Moreover, Diamond poses that people with its developed agriculture are more dependent on food than those who collected plants...

...“I can well imagine an atheist’s last words: “White, white! L-L-Love! My God!”—and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, “Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain,” and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.” 1. This quote is said by Pi, and is the entire chapter twenty-two. In short, this quote is Pi’s idea of how an atheist would die, still in doubt until the last second, and unable to give any credit to God. This seems like Pi is making assumptions about these people without understanding why somebody would feel this way, or have these beliefs. This quote stood out to me solely because it bothers me when people make assumptions or judge others without having the full story. The way this is worded, it looks like Pi is grouping all people who lack belief together, and for him either you can believe or not. I do not agree with his assumptions. 2. For me, religion is drowned by unclarity. I have never been one to believe, mostly because my pursuit of proof. When I was younger, and my grandmother passed away, I wanted to believe. Except, I didn't really understand what honest faith was. When I was eight years old, I would sit awake all night wondering about faith, and the heavens, and what happened to my grandma. I would wake my mom up, crying because of my fear for the afterlife, and...

...Would You Rather Live in Ignorant Bliss or the Horrible Truth? Liberty University Online Phil 201: Fall Semester 2014 Most of us have watched the movie, “The Matrix.” What some people might not know is that this is not a new concept. There have been philosophers, namely Plato and Descartes, who have been pondering concepts like this, way before the movie was released. Is there a way to prove that the world we live in is real, and not just some sort of dream? Can we trust the five senses that we depend on so much? How can we be sure that how we live, where we live, and what we live for is real? Let’s explore. The Matrix talks about how we are all being deceived in this world, being hooked up to brain stimulating cable that produces the lives we know in our minds. Descartes played with the same question but found a different solution. “From this foundational idea, Descartes went on to argue for the existence of God, who would not, due to his goodness, allow us to be continually deceived by an evil demon.” (Dew, p.152) What I got from Descartes’ words was; what would be the point? God created us, he loves us; He is good, so why would he want to deceive us for our entire lives, what is the point? Plato’s concept is very similar to the creation of The Matrix. Through a dialogue, he was questioning the fact of reality. Stating that what if we were all just standing in one spot, forced to look in only one direction, the only things we saw were objects passing...

...Strengths- I Work well with people and under pressure, having been around the military for a while I have learned to adapt to an ever changing environment. I work hard because i want to achieve something in life and not just sit around waiting for the end of the day, week, or month to come with nothing to show for. Weakness- I am a bit of a perfectionist and can be a bit hard on myself. I expect a lot from myself and often times dwell on small details.

...BOOK REVIEW Title of the Film : Doubt Subject : Curriculum Development in Basic and Hgher Education Professor : Dr. Erico M. Habijan Submitted by : Juan C. Obierna Date Submitted : March 16, 2013 I. Introduction: The film Doubt was written and directed by John Patrick Shanley. It is based on his Pulitzer-winning play which has been performed all over the world. This film was produced in the USA in 2008. The cast of characters are Amy Adams, Joseph Foster II, Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viola Davis. II. Objectives: This review seeks to determine the kind of instruction at Saint Nicholas Parish School and relate it with the instruction we have in our schools. III. Synopsis: The setting of the Film Doubt is St Nicholas's Church in the Bronx, a largely Irish-American parish, where the priest is Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and the principal of the attached grade school is Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep). The time is the autumn of 1964, a year after the assassination of the country's first Catholic president and shortly after the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council. The opening scene is set at when cheerful, fair-haired Father Flynn preaches a sermon about sharing doubts with others in the community and facing them in one's own life, beginning with the words: "What do you do when you are not sure?" As he preaches with compelling informality, Sister Aloysius stalks the aisles, reprimanding inattentive children...

...Opposing Thoughts in a Coexisting World The foundation of life of this world, is coexisting with one another at the same time or in the same place in peace. In the story “Twelve Angry Men” written by Reginald Rose, he creates a theoretical question, if opposing ideas can coexist as well. Justice verses mercy and certainty versus doubt is the underlying conflict throughout the story displayed by each juror with their personal backgrounds either leading to condemning or saving a teen’s life. After act one, we see the struggle between each juror going from certainty and pushing for justice only to be later filled with doubt and demanding mercy. These opposing ideas disrupt the vary balance of peace leading for any coexisting out the door. The Idea of justice versus mercy is constantly questioned and played out by juror number eight and juror number three. The struggle for justice by juror number three using laws to fairly judge and punish the teen for his father’s murder is contradicted by juror number eight as he seeks for merciful truth. In act one, juror number three says, “I never saw a guiltier man in my life. You sat right in court and heard the same thing I did. The man’s a dangerous killer…”(Rose 3) followed by juror number eight explaining his not guilty vote saying, “… this boy’s been kicked around all his life. You know, living in a slum, his mother dead since he was nine … I think maybe we owe him a few words, that’s all” (3). Juror number three is an extremely opinionated...

...that a both a contradiction as well as a proposition cannot be true; it must be only one or the other. I believe that the contradiction of the stick being straight and not straight shows how a direct contradiction can easily take place. Example, a person says “I’m on a strict diet of not eating meat”, yet the person stating this claim while inside of a steak house eating a steak. The second refutation is Augustine’s holding the act of doubting. The act of doubting shows a person’s existence as something which is very certain: “from the fact I am doubting, it follows automatically that I am (Descartes). When you begin to question whether or not what you are seeing is truly in fact something that you see, you are allowing the act of doubt to enter your mind. The third refutation in which St. Augustine refuted was sense perception. According to Augustine, Sense perception gives away a rudimentary sort of knowledge. He went on to explain how deception when it...

...nature to evolve and rethink them. At the same time they are not constant because I am not persistently believing in something. Beliefs are not a table, they are not tangible, and only exist in our minds as thoughts that live and die within us at the moment we start and finish thinking about them. I am not constantly experiencing faith; faith exists only when I give it some thought. Although my belief might not change from one time to the next it will inevitably change through time. And when do we think about our faith? It is also human nature to only think about God when things are not going well. If we are having a streak of luck we do not pause to think about God for a minute and thank him. On the other hand, it is very common to blame or doubt that there is a God when things go wrong. If my faith only exists when I am giving it thought, and the only time a give it thought is to blame God for everything that is going wrong in my life, what does that say about my faith? It says that even though when, in normal circumstances, asked the question “do you believe in God” my answer is yes, when I really put thought into it I am actually doubting his existence. Which inevitably brings us to the...
