Read the excerpt below. Then, explain why G. K. Chesterton claims that, "St. Thomas Aquinas, perhaps more than he is anything el

se, is a great anthropologist." Your answer should be at least 150 words.
{ The first thing to be said about St. Thomas as an anthropologist, is that he is really remarkably like the best sort of modern biological anthropologist. ... He adopts almost literally the Huxleyan definition of the Agnostic method; "To follow reason as far as it will go"; the only question is-where does it go? He lays down the almost startlingly modern or materialist statement; "Every thing that is in the intellect has been in the senses. ... The Schoolmen may have shot too far beyond our limits in pursuing the Cherubim and Seraphim. But in asking whether a man can choose or whether a man will die, they were asking ordinary questions in natural history; like whether a cat can scratch or whether a dog can smell. Nothing calling itself a complete Science of Man can shirk them. ("The Permanent Philosophy"; pp. 1-2)

Chesterton explains how Thomas Aquinas was way ahead of his time in understanding what it means to be human and had a developed a great sense for ontology. He would argue that there are many of his own contemporaries that think and develop their ideas just like Aquinas did. You can use this as a starting point and develop your essay.

"<em>The role of Social Media on the Arab uprisings</em>" is a study that analyzes the level of  influence that the use of Internet and social media served as effective tools for organizing and planning the protests, while providing awareness to the outside world regarding what was really happening during the Arab Spring, a movement that started in late 2010 as a response to oppressive regimes.

The Options that sustain the claim are the following:  

  1. “Networks formed on line were crucial in organizing a core group of activists, specifically in Egypt.”
  2. “Civil society leaders in Arab countries emphasized the role of ‘the Internet, mobile phones, and social media’ in the protests.”
  3. “Additionally, digital media has been used by Arabs to exercise freedom of speech and as a space for civic engagement.”
