Writing a good philosophy paper takes time and careful planning, so make sure that you begin working on the assignment as soon as possible. Philosophy papers require skillful argument and rational thought, which takes time to develop. Try to begin developing your ideas for your philosophy paper as soon as you get the assignment. Jot down your ideas and use some of your spare time to think about what you want to write about. Before you begin to develop your ideas for the paper, make sure that you have carefully read all of the materials that are related to the assignment. If you read the materials, but do not remember much or do not understand part of what you read, then you should reread the texts before you attempt to work on your paper. Having a solid understanding of the concepts covered in your readings is essential to create an effective paper. Otherwise, your explanation of the philosophy may be flawed or your argument may not hold up. Some professors distribute assignment guidelines while others simply describe the assignment in class. Before you start working on your paper, make sure that you have a clear understanding of what your professor is asking you to do. If any part of the assignment is unclear, ask your professor for clarification. It is important to keep your audience in mind as you plan your paper and as you write your paper. Your professor is your primary audience member and your classmates might also be part of your audience. You can also think of your audience as a person who has some knowledge of philosophy, but who does not have the same understanding as you do. Therefore, if you introduce a special term or concept, you will need to define it for your audience. With philosophy papers, it is best to use quotes from the text only when it is absolutely necessary. The goal of your paper is to explain and evaluate a philosophical argument in your own words. Therefore, you should not rely too heavily on quotes or even paraphrased passages from your sources. Only use a quote when it is necessary to support your point of view. Make sure to provide a citation for every quote or paraphrase that you use from a source. Include the author's name as well as a page number. All philosophy papers need to have a strong thesis. Your thesis states your position for the paper and you will need to make sure that you stay focused on your thesis and support it throughout your entire paper. Keep in mind that a strong thesis states your position as well as why you hold that position. For example, if you plan to refute Aristotle's idea that beauty is related to virtue, then you would have to provide a brief explanation of why. One reason that you may cite might be that beautiful people are not always virtuous. In this case, your thesis might be something like, "Aristotle's concept that beauty is related to virtue is false because beauty is often found in those who lack virtue." You will need to place your thesis at the end of the first paragraph in your essay. An outline can help you to stay on track as you draft your paper and ensure that you include everything that you need to include. Try making a simple outline that includes: ideas for your introduction your thesis main points of your explanation main points in your evaluation along with supporting evidence potential objections and your refutations ideas for your conclusion

Summary: Give yourself time. Read all relevant materials. Make sure that you understand the assignment. Consider your audience. Choose textual references. Develop a thesis. Outline your paper.

Drinking fluids can help keep you hydrated so that your blood will pump through your body and help keep your blood pressure up. Water is always a good way to stay hydrated. You can also drink sports drinks that contain sodium and potassium. Avoid drinking alcohol because it will dehydrate you. Salt can help keep your blood pressure elevated by helping with the retention of fluids. Talk to your doctor about adding salt to your diet. Never add salt to your diet if you have hypotension without a doctor's recommendation. Anemia, which can be caused by a lack of red blood cells, can lead to low blood pressure. Low B12, especially in elderly and very thin people, can cause hypotension. Certain B vitamins can help you produce red blood cells and increase your blood pressure. Consider increasing your intake of foods full of vitamin B12 and folate. B12 can be found in meats, such as beef liver, grass-fed beef, sardines, tuna, salmon, shellfish, and lamb. You can also find it in dairy products, like cottage cheese, eggs, and raw milk. B12 can also be given in monthly shots or taken in supplement form. However, the uptake time of B12 found in supplements is very slow. Folate can be found in beans and lentils. Green vegetables also have folate. Try spinach and other dark leafy greens, asparagus, lettuce, and broccoli. You can also find folate in avocados and cauliflower. Eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day can help reduce dizziness and keep your blood pressure level. Make your meals low in carbohydrates. Don't try to do too much after the meals. Rest and take it easy so your blood pressure doesn't drop.

Summary: Stay hydrated. Increase the amount of salt in your diet. Add more B vitamins to your diet. Eat small, low carb meals.

Buildings and outdoor flag staffs should be flown from sunrise to sunset. If a national flag is flown at night, it should be brightly illuminated with proper lighting, such as that of a spotlight. National flags should not be flown in bad weather, such as heavy rain or thunderstorms, unless the flag is an all-weather flag. Some nations require that during a brief period of precipitation, the flag be lowered until the weather clears. in a position superior to all other flags. The national flag should fly higher than other flags present. This includes state and provincial flags. The exception to this is when flags of other countries are also displayed, such as at the United Nations or during the Olympic Games. If multiple flags are flown on the same staff, the national flag is to be flown above the others, at the top of the staff. When flags of multiple countries are flown in the same place, they must all be displayed as equals. They should each be flown on individual flagpoles, each of the same size. All of the flags must be the same size and no flag can be bigger or smaller than another flag. National flags of multiple countries should be arranged in alphabetical order. When displaying flags in a line, the position of the national flag in relation to other (non-national) flags changes based on the number of flags present. These range from two flags, to five or more. When two flags are displayed in a line, the national flag should appear on the left side when viewed by an observer. When three flags are displayed in a line the national flag should be in the middle (or the second flag). When four flags are displayed in a line, the national flag should be the first flag on the left when viewed by an observer. When five or more flags are displayed in a line, two national flags should appear at both ends of the line. In other words, in a line of five flags, the national flag should appear as the first flag and the fifth flag. When displayed horizontally or vertically, the flag should be hung correctly, in accordance to the nation's wishes. In the case of the US flag, this means the union (the blue field of stars) should be displayed uppermost and to the flag's own right. This will be to the observer's left. Note that some nations restrict their flag from being hung in this fashion, or have specific instructions for doing so. When carried in a parade, the national flag should be carried on the marching right. If there is a center of flags in a line, the flag should be carried in the center of that line. The flag must hang freely. If the flag is displayed on a float, it must be hanging from a staff. The flag is not to be draped over any portion of a vehicle. Flags featured on a float must otherwise follow standard flag procedure when displayed with other flags. Events with public speakers, such as those that occur at a podium, should hang freely from a pole, superior to other flags present. The flag should be located to the speaker's right side, as a sign of honor and respect. For those observing the speaker, this will be on the speaker's left.
Summary: Fly the flag from sunrise to sunset. Display a national flag Display the flags of multiple nations as equals. Display multiple flags in the correct order. Hang national flags correctly. Display the flag correctly when parading. Display a national flag with prominence at a lectern.
