Plato -RATIONALIST -world of the Forms, unchanging universal ideas of nessnesses, difficult to know them -physical objects are imperfect, finite instances of the Form of a chair -it is difficult to access the Forms -the Form of x includes this or that good -to this or that good, we need the Form of good -true knowledge is access to the forms -the Forms are the eternal and unchanging reality beneath the constant flux of life -physical world exists but is a shadow of what is real, the Forms exist in an intelligible realm -Error comes from thinking that we have access to truth -physical objects share in and resemble reality but are not identical with it, Forms are more real than tangible objects

Prevention of The Great Depression Some might say that there would have been no way to prevent or decelerate the Great Depression. However, regulation of the stock market, insured banking systems, and limits on agricultural production could have been the catalyst the country needed to cause the depression to reduce into a recession or put a stop to it all together.

Heritability

A researcher seeking to quantify the influence of genes or environment on a trait needs to be able to separate the effects of one factor away from that of another. This kind of research often begins with attempts to calculate the heritability of a trait. Heritability quantifies the extent to which variation among individuals in a trait is due to variation in the genes those individuals carry. In animals where breeding and environments can be controlled experimentally, heritability can be determined relatively easily. Such experiments would be unethical for human research. This problem can be overcome by finding existing populations of humans that reflect the experimental setting the researcher wishes to create.
