Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfyingbecause it shows us a way in which simplicity could change intocomplexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into evermore complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: Dawkins, R. (1989). The selfish gene (3rd ed.). Oxford,England: Oxford University Press.

There is a range of perspectives on Darwin's ideas aboutevolution. His theory of evolution shows us a way in whichsimplicity could change into complexity that many find appealing.When Dawkins (1989) states that \"Darwin's theory of evolution bynatural selection is satisfying\" (p. 12), he points to the abilityof the theory to explain complex phenomenon.

Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common withthe work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell andMartha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to workout a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabularyfor a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of thenovel as an embodiment of moral philosophy. References: Bényei, T. (2003). Angelic omissions: Iris Murdoch's angels andethical criticism. European Journal of English Studies,7(2), 151-163.

Murdoch and number of other philosophers all tried to establisha subdued, non-metaphysical, and operational lexicon and discoursefor a humanist ethics. According to Bényei (2003) \"Murdoch's ownmoral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work ofphilosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and MarthaNussbaum\" (p. 151). However, I have several points of contentionwith their assertions. References: Bényei, T. (2003). Angelic omissions: Iris Murdoch's angels andethical criticism.

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you findthat they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, orempowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered themanagement practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you knowthat you've discovered something that distinguishes the successfulcompanies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--notunless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J. I. (2002). Built to last:Successful habits of visionary companies. New York, NY: HarperPaperbacks.

One has to ask oneself how you know that you've discoveredsomething that distinguishes the successful companies from othercompanies? Otherwise, you can fall into a trap that is the same asidentifying \"the management practice equivalent of havingbuildings\" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 14). References: Collins, J. C., & Porras, J.

Participant motivation to engage in these activities can also beenhanced by providing students with an opportunity to help generatethe solutions to tactical problems that exist within net/wall gamesand have input into game creation. The principles provide aframework of tactical solutions that range from simple to complex(i.e., tactical complexity) and promote understanding of thesesolutions through creating games that exaggerate their importanceand relevance in game settings. References: Mandigo, J. L., & Anderson, A. T. (2003). Using the pedagogicalprinciples in net/wall games to enhance teaching effectiveness.Teaching Elementary Physical Education, 14(1), 8-11.

If tactics don't matter and a game is all about pure physicalskill, it can become rather boring. The tactical dynamic,especially between players, can lead to unexpected outcomes as aresult of player innovation. Furthermore, giving players anopportunity to contribute to creating solutions to problems thatare tactical in net/wall games can contribute to enhancing playerengagement.

Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attemptto measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can onlylead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend thatthis discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure globalprocesses in education may provide another puzzle piece totheoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who areworking at understanding and, in the latter case, steeringeducational systems.

After presenting their results the authors recognize that thenature of the data they have provided \"can only lead to broad andgeneral discussions\" but also suggest \"that this discussion isnecessary\" (Rutkowski & Rutkowski, 2009, p. 150).
