        <description><![CDATA[

After much searching, (and none of it soul) it seems as if the quote you might actually be looking for is this, "Ere yet this prefent hour is fled, This living body may be dead." Here again, after much searching, I found only a few references for you. The link at the bottom can take you to the site that was referenced, but I did not have time to read and review the literature provided. It seems, however, as if these words were

        <description><![CDATA[Response in post #9 appears to be an overreaction to government influence in lives of individuals. I think, it is more like allergy to a perfectly tasty and nutritious food. Government exist to make lives of people better. If governments don't do that, there is no need for governments. And there is no way how a government or any other organization, can make life of an individual better without affecting it in some way or the other life....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi, I see "Immortality" in form of energy whether the body or soul.  As Newton Law said, "energy cannot be created and cannot be destroyed".  It is only changing in form, for example the light buld; the electric energy change to heat energy then light energy.  Lastly the heat energy and light energy are change to other form in the atmosphere, it will continue and never end.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There are not many people who argue that all citizens should not have access to health care - this includes the vast majority of republicans.  The issue that I do not quite understand is how so many people would be willing to give so much of their lives over to the government?
Maybe I am just too independent, but I abhore anybody (including the government) that tells me when it is time for me to die or have that much control over my...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
I don’t know who the author of this poem is or what the title is, but s/he is using free verse in that there is no specific rhyme or meter pattern being used. The author uses each of the following metaphor, imagery, and connotation to a distinct advantage. The metaphor usage is illustrated when she talks about, "the elephants have been planning their party for years." Incredible imagery and metaphor is being used when, "Jesus throws the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The poem 'It is not growing like a tree' by Ben Jonson has a theme of estimating worth or value. At the beginning of the poem he is saying something akin to the old saying 'brain versus brawn' where a man's value is measured in terms of strength alone. Ben Jonson uses the word 'bulk' - in other words just because something is bigger than everything else, doesn't mean to say it's better. Value is relative and subjective and different people...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Any field that seeks to examine culture as well as individual identity in the face of collectivity is quite powerful.  As information technology takes a hold of the world, we are beginning to understand more of cultural identity.  With this increase in understanding, sociology becomes more critical and essential in helping to formulate our conceptions of social notions of the good and cultural identity.  At the same time, sociology is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As the previous posts indicated, the topic might need more definition.  Like all philosophical inquiry, the idea of objectivity seeks to transcend individual condition, context, and bias in order to develop judgments and analysis that are applicable to all.  This is something which is powerful in its condition as well as appealing in the idea of transcendence and reaching past individual bias or condition.  If one accepts this premise, the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is not a lot of go on. However, I think you are asking if sociology believes in objectivity. One of the basic points of sociology (and anthropology) is that there is no such thing as objective truth. And even if there was such a thing as objective truth, how can a person get to it? All people are biased, historically situated and very selective.
The reason why there is no objective truth is because sociology states that all societies are...]]></description>

People have greater freedom to live and act as they please with much reduced cultural pressure for social or cultural...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have no reason to think that sociology will be any more or less relevant in the 21st century than it was in the 20th century.
In theory, sociology is certainly a valuable field of study.  It is important to know the impacts that a society and its structure have on the people who live in that society.  For example, if we know what kinds of people are more likely to suffer from certain kinds of illnesses, we can devise public health programs...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Your comments prompted me to consider that if I have lived do I ever really die? Physically my state may change but my influence, either positive or negative, continues in others. "Life" is usually defined by most as the years between birth and death but if you alter the definition to include my effect on others then immortality is a part of living. Just food for thought.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Immortality to me means that someone does not die.  I don't equate it with a spiritual afterlife because in most religions and belief systems, a human has to die physically first and then moves on to the afterlife.
However, immortality could mean that a part of someone or something does not die.  Thus, if one believes that a soul lives through and after physical death, that soul is immortal (it always existed and always will).]]></description>
