		It was they who, for the first time in history, challenged the age-old notion that only the life of a society’s rulers and/or priests was important -- to instead assert that every man’s life is of crucial value.
		It was they who turned their focus from an obsession with death and the after-life -- to instead seek success and joy in this life.

		The reason for his rapid recovery and his re-entry into a fulfilling life may be understood by applying some concepts within the continuity theory of aging, in particular, continuity related to career and personal life philosophy of truth, trust, and love for fellow humans.
		C's views concerning the influence of his career on his life are consistent with the continuity theory's concept that a lifelong experience can create certain pre dispositions for social behavior in older age.
		On the issue of marriage in later life, Atchley (1997) states that most older people are married and living with their spouses in independent households, and that the couple has been married since early adulthood (p.

	Some Aspects of Human Life History:
		All organisms have a life history-a sequence of development and behavior that affects the timing of their birth, reproduction, growth, development, and death.
		A life table is a statistical device used to portray and summarize the mortality and survivorship characteristics of a given population.
		Life Expectancy is average length of life from birth to death.

	Game theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Game theory classifies games into many categories that determine which particular methods one can apply to solving them (and indeed how one defines "solved" for a particular category).
		Game theoretic analysis can apply to simple games of entertainment or to more significant aspects of life and society.
		Game Theory was also the name of an independent rock band from the 1980s and early 1990s.

	ANTI-CAPITALISM: Modern Theory and Historical Origins
		Capitalism, by its' unnatural constraint on the free flow of wealth, decreases the quality of life for most, while only increasing it for the few.
		Not only did this artifact of capitalism precipitate workers into indentured servitude, but their servitude was passed from generation to generation by inheritance.
		The beauty of profitless capitalism is that it puts all the people to work directly for their own benefit.

		The colonial history of Australia is still very much a part of Australian national identity, but multicultural discourse does not seem to explore this history and how it affects Australian culture and life.

	Amazon.com: Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History: Books: Stephen Jay Gould
		This 1989 book "Wonderful Life" is still widely quoted and his theory repeated, i.e.: his theory that the number of "body plans" or what the scientists call "disparity" was more diverse at an earlier time which contradicts the idea of increased diversity with evolution.
		Alternately, see: Andrew Knoll's "Life on a Young Planet." Most think that Gould had abandoned the "punctuated equilibrium" theory by the time of his death in 2002, and in any case it was largely dismissed by his peers.
		This time, his big blockbuster theory is that the "diversity" of life has been DECREASING since the Cambrian period.

	Cultivation Analysis Research in Intercultural Contexts
		This instinctive acceptance of the basic tenets of cultivation theory; that television can influence the world view of the audience; has resulted in concern by many governments that a less developed culture might lose their history and their identity to the imperialist airwaves of foreign productions.
		This finding is clearly counter to the cultivation hypothesis, in which it is the responses of those least exposed to the "messages" about life transmitted by "television reality" which should be closest to the "real world" in terms of a more positive view of their personal affairs, life chances, and fellow man. (Hirsch, 1980, p.
		Careful investigation will reveal the way television is used by the foreign audience, but only through investigation of not only the effects but also the cultural biases and history of the culture can the researcher hope to discern the way television impacts the intercultural audience.

		The discovery that there is no life, extant or extinct, or no organic matter on a planet is of high interest because the conditions on the planet and what we can learn of its past history constitute basic data pertinent to a general theory of the origin of life.
		If, as solar evolution theory asserts, the Sun was 70 to 80 percent as luminous then as it is now, the atmosphere must have been better able to retain incoming solar radiant energy or else the ocean would have frozen.
		It begins with the synthesis in stars of the biogenic elements—the elements that make up all life—and their ejection into the interstellar medium; it ends with the distribution of these elements and their compounds throughout our solar system within the planetoids, which became building blocks of planets.

		Just as organisms under domestication change in response to selective breeding, so do they change in nature as a consequence of the struggle of life.

		It took 10 billion years before Earth was formed, then it took another 4.5 billion years until the first life on earth appeared.
		But it only took a few hundred million years for life on earth for the primates to evolve, and then only a few million years for homo sapiens to appear.
		The history of evolution viewed biologically, physically, systemically, and cybernetically is a history of systems which reach critical levels of complexity followed by a transformation and a new emergent order.

		But modern evolutionary theory continues to be based on that out-dated theory disproved by Pasteur: spontaneous generation (life arises from non-life).
		Life evolution is founded on the twin theories of spontaneous generation and Lamarckism (the inheritance of acquired characteristics);—yet, although they remain the basis of biological evolution, both were debunked by scientists over a century ago.

		Wind back the tape of life to the early days of the Burgess shale; let it play again from an identical starting point, and the chance becomes vanishingly small that anything like human intelligence would grace the replay.

		Life evolution is founded on the twin theories of spontaneous generation and Lamarckism (the inheritance of acquired characteristics);—yet, although they remain the basis of biological evolution, both were debunked by scientists over a century ago.

Although Divine Creation depends to some extent on faith, the Design Hypothesis is based on scientific investigation and observation, logical analysis and reasonable inference after testing the hypothesis against the competing hypothesis.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of Robert Browning, by G.K. Chesterton.
		The ridiculous theory that men should have no noble passions or sentiments in public may have been designed to make private life holy and undefiled, but it has had very little actual effect except to make public life cynical and preposterously unmeaning.
		Therefore from age to age in history arise these great despotic dreamers, whether they be Royalists or Imperialists or even Socialists, who have at root this idea, that the world would enter into rest if it went their way and forswore altogether the right of going its own way.
		Then, again, there is a theory that he was of Jewish blood; a view which is perfectly conceivable, and which Browning would have been the last to have thought derogatory, but for which, as a matter of fact, there is exceedingly little evidence.
