A slave's dream is a celebration of liberty and dignity.how?
The classic poem by H. W. Longfellow begins by setting the main plot and taking you to the place where the slave lies with the rice yet "ungathered" wiht a "sickle in his hand". He collapses and dreams about his "Native Land" where he was the king pre-slavery in an African nation, the river Niger nearby. He is embraced by his queen and children, a scene which is enough to melt his eyes. He rode majestically over his royal stallion, via landmarks, smiling at nature and the voices of wild animals. The ending brings us back from virtuality. The slave no more feels the whips nor the tormenting heat. Death overrode his dreams "Illuminating his Land of Sleep". Darkness symbolises despair. Death illuminates his Land of Sleep, bringing a new ray in his life as freedom of his soul, although his body remains as a slave.
What does the peace sign mean?
As much as conspiracy theorists and uninformed paranoids will surely disagree, the peace symbol has absolutely no sinister or anti-Christian meaning. Quite the contrary. It was actually designed in 1958 by artist Gerald Holtom for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament march from Trafalgar Square to the nuclear weapons facility at Aldermaston. Holtom has shared his regret that it symbolizes the despair he felt at the time, but that it literally reads "N" and "D" in semaphor to represent nuclear disarmament. "N" is transmitted by the semaphorist as both flags down as an inverted "V" and "D" as one flag straight up with the other straight down. The two superimposed surrounded by the circle represents the unity of the movement. The other common peace sign, palm outward, index and second finger raised in a "V" sign was originally adopted by the Allies during WW2 to represent victory. It was later adopted by Vietnam peace activists ("V" for peace in Vietnam). Again no sinister or secondary (delusional) meaning.

Why does the peace sign stand for peace?
The peace sign is actually the symbol of nuclear disarmament. The symbol is made up of 2 "semaphoric" letters. ("N" and "D".) The meaning was later translated to mean "peace".For more information please visit the following site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbolEDIT: It also is the symbol of Emperor Nero. He killed many christians. http://www.Jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/peace_sign.htm check that siteThe peace sign also has meaning for the Nazi party and the Occult. "Known as the 'peace sign' throughout the 1960's and into the present day, this symbol is the Teutonic rune of death. 1950's peace advocate Gerald Holtom may have been commissioned by communist sympathiser Bertrand Russell to design a symbol to unite leftist peace marchers in 1958. It is clear that either Holtom or Russell deemed the Teutonic (Neronic) cross as the appropriate symbol for their cause. Not only was it ordered by Hitler's National Socialists that it must appear on German death notices, but it was part of the official inscription prescribed for the gravestones of Nazi officers of the dread SS. The symbol suited Nazi emphasis on pagan mysticism.''The peace symbol (also called the "broken cross," "crow's foot," "witch's foot," "Nero Cross," "sign of the 'broken Jew,'" and the "symbol of the 'anti-Christ''') is actually a cross with the arms broken. It also signifies the "gesture of despair," and the "death of man.'' With the arms of the cross raised in an upright position, it is "a Pythagorean emblem of the course of life, in the form of a rising path with fork roads to Good and Evil.'' It also signifies fertility, but with the arms pointing downward, it denotes evil and death."In fact, the inverted 'Man-rune'--the figure encircled in the common sign which the Communists tell us means 'peace'--has for centuries been a favourite sign of Satanists.'' Throughout the last 2,000 years this symbol has designated hatred of Christians. Nero, who despised Christians, crucified the Apostle Peter on a cross head downward. This hideous event resembled the Teutonic cross and became a popular pagan insignia of the day. Thereafter, this sign became known as the 'Neronic cross.'Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, used the peace symbol as the backdrop for his altar.One former witch makes the following comment about the peace symbol: "It is an ancient and powerful symbol of Antichrist. During the dark ages it was used in Druid Witchcraft and by Satanists of all sorts during the initiation of a new member to their order. They would draw the magic circle and give the initiate a cross. The initiate would then lift the cross and turn it upside down. He would then renounce Christianity in all three dimensions (sic) of time (past, present and future) and break the horizontal pieces downward forming the design of the 'Raven's Foot.' This ugly symbol is nothing short of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. For one to wear or display this symbol is to announce either knowingly or unknowingly that you have rejected Christ. Remember, symbolism is a picture language, and a picture is worth a thousand words.''Jesus-is-savior.com/False Religions/.../peace_sign.htmMost of what is in this answer after the first part about nuclear disarmament is highly suspect. Funny that the wikipedia page says nothing of Nero and only mentions some radical christians CLAIMING it has ties to the Nazis. This is all likey drummed up by zealotous simpletons who have nothing better to do with their time.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of Aristotle's four causes?
Aristotle used the Four Causes to explain an object's transferral from potentiality to actuality. The material cause, formal cause, efficient cause and final cause take something from an idea to reality. They are accurate to a degree but have several flaws and faults. A problem with the four causes is that they rely on experience. Plato argued that experience was unreliable as it changes from person to person - we cannot be sure that chairs look the same to every person. Also, Aristotle has no concrete evidence that the material world is the source of knowledge - many would turn to religion and faith as the source of truth. However, the Four Causes are derived from Aristotle's reflections on his studies of the natural world so many would agree that they are reliable, including many scientists. Another benefit to the four causes is that they can be applied to things which already exist. The material cause can be tested and confirmed; 'The chair is made of wood'. The formal cause is also easy to prove - the structure of something can be seen. We can test it. The efficient cause is more confusing as there can be several efficient causes for an object. The carpenter made the chair but a wood cutter cut the tree and a machine sanded the wood. The final cause is obvious in some cases (a chair exists to be sat on) but less so in others - what is the final cause of a person? There are anomalies which don't conform to the four cause structure. The material cause of a movement or the efficient cause of a coincidence highlight flaws in Aristotle's theory. If things happen by chance or luck then they do not fit into the categories. Emotions also go against the theory as they have no material or formal cause and even their efficient and final causes can be questioned. Is there a final cause for despair? The fact that there are anomalies does not disprove the theory and this is a major strength to the argument. There is no evidence that it is not true and it doesn't overrule other theories like God or the Big Bang so does not have much opposition. If it could be disproved it would suggest that it was inaccurate but it has not been.
