How could compare idealism versus realism?
In general, idealism holds that the representation remains uncertain as to its source. The thing in itself and the representation are not identical else they would be on…e. There is no way to absolutely ground the representations as to their source. Hume's anaysis of causality took this uncertainty to skepticism by describing the causal pattern of billiard balls as nothing more than patterns of colors where we psychologically attribute causal forces to one ball over the other. Hume reduced causality to an association, and there is no necessity in our associations, only random neurological formations. For example, one may see evil in money while others see only good. The formations people hold are accidental and random. Two managers react very differntly given identical situations. One may be rude while other apolegic, polite, etc. Idealism resolves the problem by mentally imposing categories such as causality upon various phenomena. Thus, the car hit the pole rather than the pole hit the car. The police impose the cause upon the phenomenon, but as the police know, some may still claim that the pole hit the car. We generally dismiss such claims as insane or false. The uncertainty issue was overcome by claiming that causality is a priori or innate law of mind, thereby avoiding the claim that causality is just a psychological phenomenon formed by random responses to various adaptative situations. Even substance is a mental formation. In general, realism holds that substances are real and have nothing to do with ideas. In other words, substances are not ideas nor are their properties reducible to mental qualities such as color or weight despite the relativity in our responses to these phenomenon. For example, one might see red while another sees blue or one feels the rock is heavy while another feels it as light. Which is it? These qualities are not subjective for the realist because they belong to the thing, not to our subjective feelings or mind. The realist would hold that the proof of such things is found in objective evidence that has nothing to do with the mind. Thus, colors are properties of the thing's features such as carbon absorbs white light perceived as black while lead has a specific weight and density in spite of who is holding it. A microwave will boil a specific amount of water in a specific time, and psychological associations have nothing to do with it other than learning or relearning that boiling water hurts. Cause and effect are real realtionships among substances, and the universe operates according to the laws of nature regardless of our habits or mental constructs. (MORE)

What is the concept of realism?
Concept: This is the view that the only reality is the ideal world. A well known exponent of this view was Plato, a philosopher in ancient Greece (428-347 B.C.). Plato believ…ed that the physical world around us is not real; it is constantly changing and thus you can never say what it really is. There is a world of ideas which is a world of unchanging and absolute truth. This is reality for Plato. Does such a world exist independent of human minds? Plato thought it did, and whenever we grasp an idea, or see something with our mind's eye, we are using our mind to conceive of something in the ideal world. There are a number of proofs of this ideal world. The concept of geometry, such as the concept of a circle, which is a line equidistant from a point, is something which does not exist in the physical world. All physical circles, such as wheels, drawings, etc. are not perfectly round. Yet our mind has the concept of a perfect circle. Since this concept could not come from the physical world, it must come from an ideal world. Another proof is that from moral perfection. We can conceive of a morally perfect person, even though the people we know around us are not morally perfect. So where does someone get this idea of moral perfection? Since it could not have been obtained from the world around us, it must have come from an ideal world. Platonism has been an extremely influential philosophy down through the centuries. (MORE)

What is systemic realism?
System Realism (SyR)claims that states are the primary agents of IR and that due to human nature they are inherently power seeking. The focus on human characteristics doesn't …naturally lend itself to the term 'systemic', but that's the crux of the theory. In contrast, neo or structural realism (StrucR) attributes all state behaviour to the inability of governments to find true security (as full knowledge or trust is impossible), and that this causes them to ruthlessly strategize. When nations are in positions of weakness, StrucR predicts that they will cooperate with others or defer to stronger nations. In the same situation many SyR theorists would predict aggression. (MORE)

What are the differences between realism and neo-realism in international relations?
The main difference between the two is in their view of the causes of conflict in international relations. Classical realism puts an emphasis on the self-interested and unchan…ging human nature which therefore makes states self-interested and power seeking units. Neo-realism, on the other hand, argues that the conflict in international relations can be explained by the state of anarchy: lack of overarching authority in IR which pushes individual states to seek power (self-help system).

While, realism is the theory, of the people who live in the present.Idealists aim for perfection. They set high goals for themselves and others. They believe that humans have vast potential, which should be harnessed properly to achieve excellence. Realists, on the other hand, settle for mediocrity. Realists only aim for achievable targets. That is why, to expect something extraordinary from them is out of question.Idealism is very impractical in today's world. Idealists are basically dreamers, who only look for a paragon and that too in the future. Since they are out of touch with reality, they are most liable to fail. Realists, on the other hand, are more grounded in reality and are better prepared to deal with the world around them. (MORE)

What is the answer to 20c plus 5 equals 5c plus 65?
20c + 5 = 5c + 65 Divide through by 5: 4c + 1 = c + 13 Subtract c from both sides: 3c + 1 = 13 Subtract 1 from both sides: 3c = 12 Divide both sides by 3: c = 4 20c + 5 = 5c …+65 20c - 5c= 65 - 5.
