Technology in the Defence Department Military services are faced by insecurities and autonomous cars are the solution. The military service requires machines that do not require active personal involvement and the fact that autonomous cars do not require personal involvement are a real deal. [1]Autonomous cars are more affordable and attainable due to technological advancement in energy, navigation, and communication. The autonomous car gives an option to choose whether to assign a driver and the worries of commanders are significantly reduced by the fact that the only concern is offering protection to the leaders of the convoy. A convoy of autonomous cars is comprised of a fleet of self-driven vehicles led by a person-driven car. The idea of autonomous vehicles comes with a promise of increasing speed, accuracy and intelligence of logistic delivery. In the area of protection, autonomous cars reduce the number of soldiers and contract drivers put in harm’s way. The workforce spared ensures availability when urgently required. The autonomous cars will be potentially faster, carrying more payload and into more dangerous areas in support of army…

Is Neuroscience the Death of Free Will? By EDDY NAHMIAS Is free will an illusion? Some leading scientists think so. For instance, in 2002 the psychologist Daniel Wegner wrote, “It seems we are agents. It seems we cause what we do… It is sobering and ultimately accurate to call all this an illusion.” More recently, the neuroscientist Patrick Haggard declared, “We certainly don’t have free will. Not in the sense we think.” And in June, the neuroscientist Sam Harris claimed, “You seem to be an agent acting of your own free will. The problem, however, is that this point of view cannot be reconciled with what we know about the human brain.” Many neuroscientists are employing a flawed notion of free will. Such proclamations make the news; after all, if free will is dead, then moral and legal responsibility may be close behind. As the legal analyst Jeffrey Rosen wrote in The New York Times Magazine, “Since all behavior is caused by our brains, wouldn’t this mean all behavior could potentially be excused? … The death of free will, or…

The Ottoman Empire Question One The Ottoman Empire demonstrates a drive to urbanization through a range of administrative reforms. The reforms targeted transforming municipalities into cities by leveraging on the export culture. The initiatives demonstrate alternative modernity because they were a compromise between the imperialist tendencies of the elite and the administrators who wished to maintain local structures. The challenge was how to achieve a leadership structure in the modern era that meets the requirements of religion. Creating a current municipality in Tripoli was thus a result of negotiation to obtain a balance between the old system and new systems. The change reveals the realization among Islamic scholars that faith and reason are complementary rather than in conflict. Question 2 British domination if India demonstrates a high degree of capitalism. British farmers, in search of fortune, discovered indigo production in India. The farmers oppressed local inhabitants leading to the collapse of their domestic industries. Indigo farming, in the meantime, thrived and created a source of tribute to the British government and a lucrative business for local farmers. Colonialism was a…
