Document Summary

Wealth, fame and power are exclusive, as they do not multiply when shared, they cannot be distributed without diminishing one"s own portion. The drive for success is impossible to satisfy, which leads to greed, as people can never get enough of what they do not really want. Worldly success is identical with hedonism, as it centers meaning in the self, which proves to be too small for perpetual enthusiasm: everyone wants more from life than wealth, fame and power. Hinduism draws distinction between chronological and psychological age; two may have the same chronological age but one person may have a psychological age of a nine year old (wanting pleasure) while the other one is an adult. This produces the religion of duty after pleasure and success. This transforms the will-to-get into the will-to-give and the will-to- win into the will-to-serve.

Ceremony by Leslie Silk- What are the Veteran's (Tayo,Rocky's, etc) motives for serving in the war?

Please cite and give examples from the text that show their true motives for serving. Thank you so much!

28. John and Gordon are neighbours in an isolated part of Ontario, and both of them enjoy sitting outside and relaxing on warm summer days. However, the area has mosquitoes, and this makes sitting outside less desirable than it otherwise might be. If neither of them does anything about mosquito control, then cach of them will derive $100 of pleasure from sitting outside. If John spends $60 eliminating mosquitoes (but Gordon spends nothing), then John and Gordon will cach gain an extra $50 in pleasure from sitting outside. Similarly, if Gordon spends $60 eliminating mosquitoes (but John spends nothing), then John and Gordon will cach gain an extra $50 in pleasure from sitting outside. If both John and Gordon spend $60 each eliminating mosquitoes, then they will cach gain an extra utility value of $100 from sitting outside. The stable cquilibrium (also called the Nash equilibrium) will involve: A) John spending $60 eliminating mosquitoes and Gordon spending nothing B) Gordon spending $60 eliminating mosquitoes and John spending nothing C) John and Gordon cach spending $60 eliminating mosquitoes D) John and Gordon each spending nothing eliminating mosquitoes E) none of the above Ilma-hallot

There was an experiment where they isolated the pleasure receptorsin the brains of rats and they enabled the rats to stimulatethemselves basically by pressing a button. So, I'm wondering ifthat constituted addiction because the rats just gave up food andbasically kept pressing this button until it died.
