The standard analysis of knowledge is the Tripartite Theory (or, JTB, for short). This theory defines knowledge as ‘justified true belief’: S knows that P if and only if (i) P is true, (ii) S believes that P, and (iii) S is justified in believing that P. Each of these three conditions (truth, belief, and justification) is necessary for knowledge, and altogether they are jointly sufficient for having knowledge. As a counter to JTB, Edmund Gettier posed a serious challenge when he introduced…

Worth way more than what was written on it. I wondered about the woman on it. What was her name? Curiosity overcame me, and I started to research her more and discovered that her name was Susan B.

Comparing and contrasting both COIN operations highlights the importance of correctly addressing the local populace’s grievances and ads to the legitimacy of the Host Nation (HN) government.

gold and silver coins to the colonies. Massachusetts took matters into their own hands at this point. Boston authorities gave permission to two settlers, John Hull and Robert Sanderson to set up a mint in the capital in 1652. The two were soon striking silver coinage, shillings, sixpences, and threepences. Nearly all of the new coins bore the same date of 1652.

In this study, the poor children have pushed the need they had for money to give over manipulated diameters of the coins. It was something inside them which we can call a motivation the made them perceive the coins to be bigger than they normally…

The first step of this section was to fill the glass to two-thirds full of water. Then take the pencil and circle it around both…
