"That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves." -Thomas Jefferson

This paper points to the worldviews of each of these faiths, and it uses the available literature to delve deeply into those worldviews and the differences /

Human Resources Management If what is learned in an important college or university course is not put to use in some pragmatic way -- or understood in the larger social context -- then that learning may be viewed as meaningless time spent.
