Existentialism is the view of life which focuses on “a man” and in so doing denies that any man is to be measured or equated against any class called “man” in any sense of experience. Since “man” traditionally is classified in terms of his mind, body and will against the framework of an external world, the existential position denies, utterly, the certainty of any external world, as object, and denies, utterly, the assertion that any rule – physical, emotive, or intellectual - is valid in relation to the single individual. __________________ .
(1) The exponent of existentialism considers the traditional world to be one of illusion.
(2) Man is not an accidental expression of colliding atoms which continuously move in a random fashion.
(3) It is quite interesting to analyze organized religion with this background.
(4) It is the consciousness of a man that he is existing in terms of his own flowing of experience, a flow which is governed by natural laws.
(5) Therefore, the existentialist is free to choose because there are no objective standards to inhibit or constrain his choice.

What is nonlinear science all about? The core ideas are not hard to describe. Nonlinear dynamics arise from repeated iteration or feedback. A system, whether physical or mathematical, starts in some initial state. That initial state provides the input to a feedback mechanism which determines the new state of the system. The new state then provides the input through which the feedback mechanism determines the system’s next state and so on. Each successive state is causally dependent on its predecessor.
__________________ .
(1) Mathematics aside, nonlinearity has a crucial contribution to make towards general friction regardless of technological developments.
(2) Sometimes the fundamentals of nonlinear science evade understanding.
(3) The dynamics of non-linear science are being deeply pondered by scientists.
(4) The attempt to apply the ideas of nonlinear science are resisted by the widespread predominance of linear modes of thought.
(5) But what happens to the system over the course of many iterations can be more complex and less predictable than one might suppose.

The solitary condition of watching movies hasn’t changed—if anything, DVD probably means that we are more often literally on our own when we watch films—but the movie world has lost some of its love for loners. Even CGI fantasies like the Toy Story films and the Lord of the Rings cycle are about teamwork. So if it is going too far to say that movies are more liberal than they were, they are at any rate less socially empty. Reality, it seems, no longer “pops you out of the story,” as they say in Hollywood. We don’t mind seeing it now and again on the big screen, especially if our daily lives don’t always feel
that real. _________________________
(1) One of the biggies was Traffic, a film about duplicity in the US war on drugs that won four Oscars for Steven Gaghan as screenwriter.
(2) Erin Brockovich was about a single mother who takes on and beats a corporation, for which Julia Roberts won her Oscar.
(3) The political strain in cinema was there then—it always has been, the question is whether it will only ever be a strain.
(4) But to put this in perspective, it is worth looking back to the 2001 Oscars to see what was nominated in the year before 9/11.
(5) The MP4 format is becoming more popular.
