answers1: RAP ----> Rhythm and poetry
answers2: Oncue Rapper
answers3: hard thing. search on yahoo and bing. that might help!
answers4: no, poetry has the "benefeit" of not being conducive to a
traditional "beat" and also not having an emphasis on the voice
sounding "musical". <br>
<br>
poetry also can have limited verses that would be far too short for a
song (m.ali - "my wet pet" <end>). <br>
<br>
there's no doubt that some rap music is "poetic", but there's a big
difference between commercial music and "poetry", most usually in
substance.
answers5: well i just learned about this in english and raps got to a
beat and poetry can be formal and doesn't have to rhyme but there is
also ballad poems that kinda go to a beat. <br>
<br>
i hope that helped :)
answers6: Pretty much. Aside from some newer mainstream hip-hop (in my
opinion) I think pretty much all rapping is, is a rapper talking about
his feelings but rhyming his words and making it sound cool.

What is the best poetry book?
answers1: Start by listening to some poems on Youtube. Bukowski -To
the whore who took my poems & Bluebird are two of my favorites. Sylvia
Plath - Daddy is also a wonderful poem to listen to - I love her
sultry voice. There are a lot on youtube and you may start to find
what you love. I have an older book called Modern Verse - edited by
Oscar Williams. I LOVE it! It has Whitman and Yeats, Frost, Hardy,
Dylan Thomas so so many. I had no idea how much I would love Yeats and
Whitman. Whitman wrote "When I heard the learn'd Astronomer" Oh my
gosh! And Yeats, "When you are old" -- I'll tell you there isn't
enough time in the day once you find what you love, it's so so good.

answers4: Decide what sort of poetry you want to read, then go to your
public library and look and the poetry books to see what sort of
poetry the have in stock. Do not worry about who wrote the poems but
see if you are interested in their style. Take a few home of different
styles and take your time. I have found that looking for a book on How
to write poetry can be a big help in choosing what you want to read.
Do not be over over adventurous in your choice of poetry, but go for
something simple which does not have you scratching your head trying
to understand what the poet means. You can be more adventurous when
you have leaned to read different poets works.

Is IB Philosophy an easy class?
answers1: No classes in IB are "easy" except for Maths Studies and
Spanish Ab Intio ^.~ <br>
<br>
People who take IB Philosophy generally does pretty well in it
compared to other IB subjects. IB Philosophy is very interesting. If
you like arguing ideas and debating Philosophy is for you. It's like
history except everything is revalant to today. <br>
<br>
Is this for group 3 or group 6?
answers2: You did not specify which english course at HL, Language and
Literature or only Literature? Literature has a tendency to be
critically harder than Lang and Lit at HL. heritage HL isn't very
difficult to get solid grades in and it is exciting in case you
appreciate heritage, yet get waiting to position in writing a lot of
essays. If heritage bores you, do not take it because you ought to not
do o.k.. Biology HL is a lot of memorization so make confident you're
solid at that previously you're taking it. except that, it is somewhat
relaxing rather in case you appreciate Biology and decide to study it
in college. i do not take Spanish HL yet I imagine it is as difficult
as English HL. Math study is amazingly effortless, except you're poor
at math. you haven't got a decision to take TOK, you ought to take it.
so that you ought to also take Psychology SL to have all 6 classes
required for the degree. situation from toughest to least confusing:
English HL, heritage HL, Biology HL, Psychology SL, Spanish SL,TOK,
Math study SL.

Is Western Philosophy a Failure?
answers1: By you categorizing and somewhat pointedly criticizing
Western thought, it sounds that you already have made up your mind or
tend to prefer eastern or some other ideal for thought. You should
not consider a philosophy a failure only because you do not see its
merits. What works for one person doesn't work for all(ie.
christianity as opposed to polytheism). You can argue all day about a
philosophy, but philosophy does not exist as an absolute, it is given
credence and validity when one chooses to accept it and act upon it.
Arguing or trying to find a philosophy of absolute wholeness or
goodness is like shooting down someones opinion for liking green
instead of blue, or even worse, trying to convince them that that
because of my experience in philosophy, you should accept my thoughts
as absolute truth. There are plenty or alternate philosophies that
people have found fault with, not only in western philosophy, but
eastern, middle eastern and all forms or religious philosophies.
answers2: Well, sokrates, I think it's a bit premature to summarily <br>
conclude that Western Philosophy as a whole is "a <br>
colossal failure". This is because Philosophy, like <br>
civilization itself, is still in its infancy. Because of this, <br>
it is somewhat silly to look for perfection in Philosophy, <br>
and then to dismiss it outright because you fail to find <br>
it. In truth, a perfect philosophy may never be achieved <br>
as long as human beings themselves remain imperfect. <br>
Moreover, Sophia has yet to really stand upon Her own <br>
two feet with strength and nobility. <br>
. <br>
Consider Her brief biography as a whole: Philosophy <br>
was born into a world dominated by myths, fears, and <br>
superstitions, and yet somehow managed to invent logic <br>
and science. Soon after this, however, Sophia was made <br>
to act the role of Theology's whore; which could only <br>
have a detrimental effect upon the philosophical <br>
enterprise. For most of Her career, then, She was a <br>
slave; and yet somehow progress was still made (albeit <br>
very slowly). And then, after Descartes, She was able <br>
to regain most of Her stolen independence; and then <br>
philosophers multiplied like mushrooms after a rain- <br>
storm. <br>
. <br>
But then the academics boldly seized Philosophy, <br>
claimed Her as their own, and promptly turned Her <br>
into Science's whore. And that's where we are today! <br>
Therefore, and considering all the abuse that has been <br>
heaped upon the Fair Lady's head over the centuries, I <br>
think that Sophia has acquitted Herself very well indeed. <br>
And once She has been freed from the shackles and <br>
chains of a blind, arrogant, and narrow-minded Science, <br>
She will do remarkable things. In truth, Sophia's full <br>
potential has yet to be realized. <br>
. <br>
> [snipsome] Maybe we should analyze it as one might <br>
> study a cadaver. It is an object of interest from which <br>
> many things can be learned, maybe even some things <br>
> of benefit. <br>
. <br>
Well, sokrates, these statements tell me all I need <br>
to know. The problem is NOT within Philosophy; the <br>
problem is within *you*. Specifically with your attitude. <br>
Philosophy is NOT dead; although the scientific and <br>
analytical academics have certainly done their very best <br>
to kill Sophia by sucking any signs of life right out of <br>
Her. They kill Her slowly by centimeters and inches, and <br>
then berate Her for looking like a cadaver. And never for <br>
a moment will they take responsibility for the evil that <br>
they have committed. No indeed, they would much <br>
rather blame Her for what *they* have done to Her! ... <br>
"an object of interest", you say? "analyze it", you say? <br>
... Analyze this --> [insert extremely rude gesture here] <br>
. <br>
> But we do well to avoid treating western philosophy <br>
> as a living entity, one that can provide ethico- <br>
> metaphysical guidance or enlightenment. <br>
. <br>
Really? Why, sokrates, that's just the sort of statement <br>
I would expect to hear from a thoughtless and brutal <br>
*scientist* who would joyfully kill off the last surviving <br>
member of a unique and astonishing species just so that <br>
he could then *analyze* its internal organs in order to <br>
discover 'what makes it tick'! As for myself, I do indeed <br>
see Philosophy as "a living entity, one that can provide <br>
ethico-metaphysical guidance or enlightenment". I see <br>
Sophia as a large and flourishing garden that holds and <br>
nourishes a wide variety of flowers and plants: roses, <br>
tulips, lemons, apples, peanuts, and yes, the occasional <br>
weed or three. <br>
. <br>
And no philosopher is ever *completely* dead so long as <br>
there is at least one living human mind able to read his <br>
writings with some small measure of understanding. If <br>
human immortality exists anywhere in this sad world, it <br>
is only within the warm bosom of loving Sophia. Treat <br>
Her like the Lady She is, you arrogant baboon, and THEN <br>
you'll see that there is still some life and value in the <br>
old girl after all ... *Maybe!* ... There's an old saying in <br>
computer science that applies equally well to Philosophy: <br>
garbage in, garbage out. <br>

contributions to philosophy by the presocratics?
answers1: Presocratics Like Anaximander, Parmenides and Heraklitus
were not "philosophers" in the today's meaning of the term. Philosophy
proper began with Socrates and Plato. The presocratics were Thinkers
.i.e they were first to think Being. So in this respect they
contributed nothing to philosophy. Philosophy is metaphysics and it
doesn't ask the question of Being: 'What do we mean when we say that
something "IS"?" They were the First Beginning.
answers2: principals of "Paydeia" (The Greek Philosophy)
answers3: Before Socrates, there was cosmology (where belong Thales,
Anaximander, Zenon, etc) and anthropology that Socrates developed in
real way, but before him that started sophists like Protagoras,
Gorgias, etc.). <br>
Cosmology isn't pure philosophy, it had that name because there wasn't
any science in that time (science in modern sense), there was only
mythology and than philosophy. Those philosophers were the first ones
who asked themselves a questions about nature, sky, etc., what element
is in heart of everything, so they all have one "nickname" -
physicians. <br>
Their contribution is in starting of philosophical way of thinking,
starting "the ratio", they were the first who doubted in mythological
stories about world, earth and sky, etc... They started whole
philosophy in those ancient times (when I say this, I mean on
philosophy of western world). because THEY STARTED THINKING. <br>
After that period, comes anthropology where in center of thinking
isn't world anymore, but human, e.g. morality. Sophists started it,
than came Socrates who eclipsed them by opposing them, than after him
Plato etc. <br>
Sophists are important because they started this new era, they put man
in the center, and important because Socrates built his theory on
opposing to them. Without sophists, there wouldn't be Socrates. <br>
I hope this helps. <br>
PS I don't know did I wrote all names of philosophers correct in english.
answers4: I'm not sure about Western Philosophy, but Easter Philosophy
held a solid foundation from about a thousand B.C. until present.

What is Philosophy?
answers1: Loving of wisdom :)
answers2: It starts with an idea, formulated in the brain and then
someone forms the words to make an opinion out loud on what they think
should be in any situation. And it is all hypothetical until placed
into position for the majority to rule on one philosophy, after that

answers3: philosophy is a Hellenic word that comes from two words
1.philos that means friend and 2. sophy (sophia) that means wisdom.
so a philosopher is a friend of wisdom and philosophy is the love of
wisdom and it was born in ancient Greece.
answers4: Philosophy is a well coordinated and systematised attempt at
evaluating life and the universe as a whole, with reference to first
principles that underlie all things as their causes and are implicit
in all experience. It is an impartial approach to all problems and
aspects of life and existence, and its studies are not devoted merely
to the empirical world, as in the case of the physical and biological
sciences; not restricted to the provinces of faith and authority or to
the questions of the other world, as is the case with theological
disquisitions; not confined to investigation of the mind and its
behaviour, as in psychology; not given over merely to casuistry and
ethology, as in the normative science of morality and ethics; not
taken up with the consideration of civic duties and problems of
administration and constitution, as in the case of politics; not
concerned with the solution of problems and techniques of adjusting
and ordering and discovering the origin and organisation and
development of human society, like economics and sociology; but are
adapted for an exhaustive treatment of the basic presuppositions of
each and every one of these, as also of what is other than and beyond
all these, that on which all these are ultimately founded and which is
the ground of all knowledge and experience in general. Philosophy
investigates the very possibility and conditions of knowledge, its
extent, nature and value. It bases itself on facts already known and
rises above them to absolute verities, on which all phenomena depend
and by which alone they can be rationally explained. It is not
circumscribed by the limitations of the past, present and future, by
the laws of <br>
this place or that country, but refers to all times, places and
conditions. Philosophy is the most inclusive of all branches of
learning, and acts as a touchstone to all other aspects of human
knowledge.
answers5: the right way to live on this earth without disturbing others. <br>
Do not depend on the other person. philosophy should be benefit to
yourself and not giving troubles to others.
answers2: It starts with an idea, formulated in the brain and then
someone forms the words to make an opinion out loud on what they think
should be in any situation. And it is all hypothetical until placed
into position for the majority to rule on one philosophy, after that
is formed and ruled on they make the philosophies into laws of the
land. Most times philosophy comes from common sense if it is any brain
that is well functioning. So if you want to read the worlds leading
