That's actually quite handy - Kant's argument depends upon the assumption that there's only one system of geometry that can possibly be imagined. If mathematics works by assuming a host of different axioms that generate a range of different results... all the worse for him. =p

Thanks! ^__^

Does anyone know how to cite a character in a computer game?

Right, somehow I'm not surprised.

I would guess something similar to personal correspondence, or use the name of the game in the place of the book title. Use the release date as the published date, developers in the place of editors or publishers...

I would assume it would be the same as quoting a character in a book, just like Asa suggested. Though, truthfully, I don't have any of the formats for citation memorized.

I would think it would be more like citing a particular video, actually. Because there are things you'd need to cite that are more similar to a video than they are to a book--besides which you normally have to differentiate between print and non-print resources.

What citation format are you using?

Here's video citation for MLA format, but the site also has APA, Chicago, and Turabian formats. I think it might put the citation together for you, as well.

I'm writing an essay about ancient Greek comedy and I want to discuss the id, ego and super-ego in relation to the protagonists but I don't know that much about it. Basically, I want to know which is which, I thought I knew but I checked the website that shall not be named and apparently I have the id and the ego the wrong way round.

However, my professor is cunning and a little devious. I would not put it past her to change things on the website.

If anybody can define/explain them I'd appreciate it.

Cobbled together from class notes, textbooks, and memory:

The Id: Unconscious desires that do not adhere to any moral codes or societal norms and rules. The id is driven by primal desires of self-satisfaction. as well as by the need to survive. It deals in instant gratification based on whatever gives the most pleasure. These are driving desires and motives that you are not consciously aware of; and mostly, that's a good thing. The id does not play nice, nor does it have any sense of propriety.

The Ego: Basically, it's rational thinking. This is subconscious, so again, you're not really aware of it going on. It's a mental way of dealing with the desires of the Id. The Id wants something, and the Ego seeks a realistic way to satisfy the Id. It operates in looking at long term satisfaction, versus instant gratification. It also acts as the peace-maker between the Id and the Superego--since both have drastically different ways of getting things done.

The Superego: The conscious decision making process. One of its defining features is that it is driven by culture. This is where morals lie (conscience, and feelings of pride or guilt), as well as cultural norms. It tries to find not only the realistic way of gratifying the desires of the Id, but the ideal way--how things "ought" to be done. Think of the Superego as a goody-two-shoes superhero.

That accords with what I remember of it. I suspect, however, that your teacher may prefer a citation to a more, hmmm, authoritative source.

First stop: check your textbooks.

Second stop: check your school's library web site, they likely have a dictionary or encyclopedia or psychology. (Or of literary criticism, since the subject matter is a play.)

That's a good point. A basic sketch of these should be available in any psychology book. Most school libraries keep textbooks; but if yours doesn't have a Psych book, you could always track down someone taking a psychology class and ask to borrow theirs. Really though, they should; Freud's stuff is in most Psychology textbooks--be it General, Abnormal, or Developmental. If you've had some trouble getting a clear definition, I would suggest cross-referencing several books.

If they're available. ^^;

Good luck with your paper.

Thanks guys, that helps a lot. And apparently I did have them the right way round but the definition is useful.

I hate chemistry, just want to get that out there.

There are these two related questions on the homework, I've been working on it for an hour now. I thought I had it right the first time, but that didn't give me the answer the teacher said I should have expected. I went to the example and learned I forgot a step, but when I recalculated, the answer was even further off. Three reiterations since then, I have yet to hit on anything close to the right answer - not even the answer the teacher said I might expect if I was doing it wrong. Is someone willing to help explain this to me?


14.34

CO(g) + 2H2(g) = CH3OH(g)

GIVEN: 1.5 L, .15mol CO and .30mol H2 initially, .1187mol CO at equilibrium

{I just realized I was reading something in the given information wrong, but I still don't know how to fix it}

Fill an ICE chart, give the moles of each substance at equilibrium.

At this point, here is my ICE chart:

[Maeniel]

Ariiiiise from the grave!

Two questions here.

First:

How do you solve a single equation when given multiple variables? I feel like it can't be solved unless there is a second equation, but I just wanted to make sure. Ex:

One of these days someone is going to ask a question that I can actually help with and on that day someone else is going to beat me to answering it.

Well, nobody answered until now, so I might as well. ^_^ Though I bet it's not relevant anymore.
