Certainly, using PowerPoint in a classroom setting on a daily or weekly basis tends to decrease a student's need to know how to write properly. Traditionally, a student was required to write a grammatically-correct paper/essay and then present it to his/her class by standing up front and reading it to their fellow students. When such a thing was done properly and when the essay was well-written, it contained words that created images in the minds of the listeners, thus allowing the free flow of abstract thinking. But with PowerPoint, all a student has to do is present pictures/images to their fellow students and allow these images to "tell the story" while the presenter reads perhaps a few written lines of description as support for the images. In this instance, one could say that PowerPoint is "evil" because it "dumbs down" the subject matter being presented instead of relaying information via the power of the written word.
Glenda Morgan, writing in "Is PowerPoint Evil?" offers a similar opinion to that of Edward Tufte, for she states that PowerPoint "gets in the way of the accurate presentation of information" (2003, Internet), a reference to a student presenting information and data via PowerPoint when he/she is not an expert on the subject being presented to a class and perhaps including pictures/images that are not relevant to the subject matter.

Initially St. Augustine favoured the dualistic view that evil was external and separate from the world and mankind that in evident from the Manichean worldview. However, he was later to reject this strict dualism and taker another view of the nature of evil. This was more Platonic and was based on the writings of Plotinus and Porphyry. This refers to the view that evil is a measure and result of
Evil The free will defense suggests that God permits, but does not cause evil. Therefore, it is possible to live in a universe in which good and evil continually coexist. Human beings are blessed with the ability to make a choice that can further the objectives of God and good, or to promote the interests of evil. Although this view is logically coherent, there are clear objections to it. One objection is
"I'm not religious, I'm spiritual." Conversely other people state that they dislike the formality of religion, of beliefs and practices, but do believe in God and in some sense of 'higher truth.' This confusion might be best addressed by doing away with the category of religion altogether -- religion is whatever a society defines it to be, and the term has grown so meaningless, people even speak of making golf
God would have never created human beings if everyone was to be perfect. There are certain problems with the view that there is evil in the world despite the presence of an almighty God who is omnipotent and omniscient. Critics believe that evil should not exist if God is omnipotent and omniscient. They believe that there is evil in this world because God doesn't exist. There is no to govern
Question of Evil In the Bible (The Old Testament ) God gives many codes of justice as well as righteous behavior for humans to follow his ten commandments for instance. The philosophical problem, then of why God allows evil and injustice in the world has been looked into by many people. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not willing to prevent it? If so then he is impotent. Is he
The ambiguity that is a result of the mixing of cultures and races is "demystified" as the lecture notes imply mainly because the film refuses to stereotype. Right and wrong are not virtues obtained by any race in particular -- but by men and women who prefer not to be overcome by the strictures of profiles: Vargas, for example, pursues justice not because he is mestizo but because he
