Certainty

Certainty and Doubt both hold great power when it comes to specific things. Some people have never asked themselves, “which one is a better motivator?” They both have their benefits but, now it is time to pull the argument apart and see for ourselves which one is truly better. I strongly believe certainty has more power when it comes to most things. For example faith. You need to have certainty when it comes to your faith. ln the bible it says if you have doubt in your heart nothing will go…

The struggle between certainty and doubt is the ultimate choice and feeling you have on a decision, yourself, or others. The choice is not so finite; it could lay anywhere in between the two. The perspectives of William Lyon Phelps and Bertrand Russell are antithetical to each other, but their views are on differing topics as well. Phelps implies that you must have certainty in yourself in order to complete and defeat any task in the way. On the other hand, Russell mentions that the views or…

The whole quote relies on the theme Complexity of Action and Impossibility of Certainty. Throughout the quote Hamlet says things, but thinks differently. In the beginning of the quote he says ¨O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!¨ referring to how he feels betrayed by the people he trusted the most, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, since he sees them walking over to Claudius after they finished their conversation with him. In that moment forward, he does think that Claudius has to do with his…

but one often struggles to determine what they must do in order to restore honor and certainty. In Dancing Bear, the author Guy Vanderhaeghe develops the idea that honor and certainty which individuals possess is constantly receding from their grasp; such desires inspire individuals to dwell upon the past which results in substantial realizations. Thus, when an individual struggles to restore honor and certainty they often reflect upon their past, identity and values which results in the…

Certainty vs. Doubt Certainty and doubt are two coexisting entities that rely on each other to exist. To achieve certainty you must first acknowledge your doubts and overcome them. With this system of thought, people have become more certain in their beliefs by testing their doubts with scientific theories, historical essays, and even in everyday life. Within the areas of scientific research and experimentation, it is necessary to understand your doubts about a topic so then you can use that to…

through life searching for certainty. What gives certainty is not certainty itself, but rather clarity. Risk is inevitable. Likewise, in social sciences, different ideas come and go with differing levels of certainty. Throughout high school, I have honed in on my ability to give clarity. When delegating work, clarity is just as important as being certain. I plan to learn at the School of Arts and Sciences about mathematics, economics, and political science gain certainty on my life path. Because…

always held a negative connotation in my mind, a dark shadow that looms over certainty, truth, and progress, John Patrick Shanley, through his film, not only claims but makes us feel quite the opposite: that doubt is in fact a valuable asset in gaining an objective view when determining “good” from “bad” and discovering the truth. Stanley utilises the two main characters in his film to depict the dangers of acting upon certainty without doubt. I will be exploring two research questions within my…

While many people consider certainty and doubt to be opposing terms, I believe that they are two critical parts of a person’s thought process, and should be used together to improve society’s knowledge and understanding. If one of these elements is missing, a person’s thoughts can become clouded and incorrect as they either strongly believe false information, or don’t find any topics to be believable at all. If a person does not doubt facts, they are given, and they take everything at face value…

I agree with William Lyon Phelps belief on certainty. Although I agree with certainty, I acknowledge that doubt leads to answers. I believe that certainty leads to success and builds confidence. On the other hand questions lead to answers. Doubt tends to lead to experiments. When people start to doubt things they ask questions that lead experiments. Throughout the making of many innovations and inventions doubt led these experiments to find answers. The light bulb exemplifies itself as one of…

people who will debate if he is completely insane and 2.) People who believes he is in fact sane. Being a psychology major, Hamlet’s mind and what he endures, intrigues me the most. To me the most profound theme of this play is the impossibility of certainty, which creates controversy among its audience. The theme of impossibility of…
