Controversy is a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a matter of opinion, but sometimes the allegation that a matter of scientific fact is no better than opinion or even religious belief, as in the controversy between evolutionary biology and Creationism or Intelligent Design. Sam Cooper coined the word circa 1384 from Latin controversia, as a composite of controversus - "turned in an opposite direction," from contra - "against" - and vertere - to turn, or versus (see verse), hence, "to turn against." A parallel observation is that the bitterness of controversy is sometimes inversely proportional to the importance of the matter concerned. A controversy is usually the result of either ignorance (lack of sufficient true information), misinformation, misunderstandings, half-truths, distortions, bias or prejudice, deliberate lies or fabrications (disinformation), opposed underlying motives or purposes (sometimes masked or hidden), or a combination of these factors. There is often controversy about a significantly different new idea, subject, group or person for a period of time, until honest direct examination of sufficient factual evidence results in widespread agreement on the truths of the matter. Examples disease is often caused by bacteria or viruses, rather than evil spirits or bad blood; blood is circulated around the body, rather than ebbing and flowing; Earth revolves around the sun, rather than being the center of the universe; Earth is a sphere, rather than flat.

November 06, 2009

Instead of synthetic product, the best method to start curing acne is through home made treatment such as tea tree oil. Home made treatments are frequently sold at a reasonable price. A good example is tea tree oil. This oil is highly recommended because it has the ability to fight ... (read more)

2. Litigation - The Role of the Expert Witness
November 05, 2009
Modern society is run pursuant to the rule of law. For all the groaning this results in, not to mention lawyer jokes, the rule of law allows us to set forth basic methods of doing things such as contracts and rules of conduct. When a dispute arises, however, litigation can commence. When the matter is something intellectually complex, the use of an expert witness is called for.
So, just what is an expert witness? Well, it is someone who is considered knowledgeable in a particular field based on their training and experience. An oncologist who has worked for 20 years is an expert when it ... (read more)

November 05, 2009
We are going to discuss what to do with those nasty collection letters that you may receive from collection agencies and original creditors. Whenever you start to get collection letters from original creditors and collection agencies, there is usually a statement at the bottom or

That statement is placed in the letter because it is required by law. It may go on to say something in there about thirty (30) days to d... (read more)
