The Best Way To Get To The Truth Analysis

Improved Essays
I believe the best method for getting to the truth is understanding many different perspectives. To see something from every side is to truly interpret everything about it. Few people ever really get to the truth of something, as having this accuracy involves never ending research and the ability to evolve your beliefs. As each person goes and shares what they believe to be the truth, they influence the people around them.
Each author has a duty to tell a story. It is impossible to remove one's opinion from a novel because your opinion is your voice. Therefore with every story, the author tells a version of their own truth. Through each perspective, the mind is forced to think and examine another's point of view, changing the truth after each person reads it. Different interpretations cause different truths, and each piece of writing can change this. Not all secrets should be shared. Every person make mistakes, and sometimes it is important to keep these mistakes a secret, because if they are shared they may hurt people. Knowledge is power, so why should one person be able to have all the knowledge in the world, and therefore unlimited power? The best way to get to the truth is to comprehend the information you have been given. Knowing what is going on is one thing, but the truth involves a deep understanding.

While this may annoy many interviewers, I do not want to influence someone's interpretation of my own writing. My truth is not the whole truth, and I believe every man has a duty to himself to go and find the whole truth. I think the truth is very opinionated, and everyone should form their own opinion first. I believe every truth is another man's lie. It is not my responsibility to communicate any truth, but to communicate my opinion. I do not believe there is any such thing as a singular truth. No knowledge is unopinionated and no facts have not been changed by

    You are getting told the story from one person’s point of view, have you ever heard the saying, “there are two sides to every story”? Well, even in a short story or book that saying applies also. Just think about it, you are getting all your information from one person, in a way can be considered almost like “bias” information. For example if you were telling a story and it was about two people, one person is your best friend that you love dearly, person A, the other person is the one person in your life you actually cannot stand, person B. When you tell the story and begin to describe them to your audience you are more likely to talk up person A and less likely to talk about how great the person B is, in result can effect how the reader in the story sees the other characters. Just like in “The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” when Griselda says, “I know just from looking at her that this is her first trip.…

    Truth is developed everywhere. Truth shows right from wrong and has no bias. Not only does truth constantly appear, it morphs into themes that teach valuable lessons. Specifically, the universal topic of truth appears and shows the theme of truth in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, Disney’s movie The Lion King, and Flint Michigan’s water crisis.…

    In the video, it is implied that truthiness is used by people who do not think by facts, but by the first thought that come into their mind. The second definition of truthiness, reminds me of how people react to psoriasis. Many people believe that it's contagious and try to avoid being near the "infected" person. I relate to psoriasis like the example in the book of AIDS in the movie "Philadelphia." The character judged "a book by it's cover" without taking time to think about the truth behind the matter.…

    Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more, have had an impact on the way humans are interacting with each other. These social icons are not just a medium for communication, but they offer more to it, than that. Social networks have attracted many individuals worldwide because of their potential to address millions of users and possible future customers (Krombholz, Merkl, Weippl, 2012). These platforms are becoming a norm in today’s world that are difficult to avoid and arguably can be corrosive to the real community. I personally believe that these are corrosive to the real community because of individual’s ability to instrumentalize their online self-presentation, difficulty in staying focused and artificial intelligence.…

    Introduction The term truth has distinct meanings, from honesty and faith to a confirmed reality in detail The phrase has no single definition about which a majority of respectable philosophers and scholars agree, and more than a few theories of truth continue to be debated (Prometheus-journal 2009). There are differing claims on the roles that exposed and acquired knowledge play; and whether or not reality is subjective, purpose, or absolute. Though actuality is most of the time believed to be both subjective and purpose, perception is assumed to be a function. This means that it differs from one individual to another.…
