Cold Hard Truth

would only realise this towards the end but despite all of this both of them make up for it as they treat each other like children or make comments that relate to children one way or another. Instead of telling the truth that they do not have a child, they use lies and cover up the truth thinking that no one will find out, but near the end Nick had a clue of what was going on between George and…

The core of scientific thought is induction. This is not a matter of opinion or preference. It only stands to reason that a theory with any significant reliance on speculation, the mere guessing at solutions, cannot be accepted as a solid one. If we, as a society or as a people, define speculative science as valid, then speculative science will be the unsteady foundation for further scientific inquiry, placing all future research in doubt. Consider, as an example, the following subset of an…

Othello to exposes the reality of blindly trusting the words of another. Throughout the poem Othello it is apparent that the character Othello is quite naïve to the true intention of those around him causing him to obliviously take their words as truth at his own expense. One question that is in the back of the mind of most who read or have read the play Othello is why doesn’t Othello search for actual proof or truly confront Desdemona about the things Iago has told him. The reason that Othello…

should be scaled as accurate to follow from truths we seek in history books that match holy texts and scriptures, to examining and being nonbias on how true these claims are even if they seem to be blowing up smoke, and weighing these options presented to us from such evidence from compliance to opposition. “How do we arrive at the truth about God? We use a systematic methodology that is designed to separate truth from error by using various tests for truth, with the end result being a set of…

that people perceive as important… used by people attempting to make sense or to manage risk” (241). Rumors are created to satisfy the emotional wants and needs of a specific group of people and because of these wants and needs, people reject certain truths and facts that contradict their ideology and worldview. Belief and anxiety have a direct relationship to rumor transmission due to a person 's wants and needs, propaganda, ideology, bias assimilation, and cognitive dissonance. In Pezzo and…

Having Jack as the narrator in the novel Room brings a juvenile point of view to the text that is avant-garde. Meaning that his point of view is innovative. It can be seen as controversial, where he is restricted as an observer, because his mind is not fully developed yet, and he is still learning. One might confuse this as unreliable. But the fact that Jack is an inexperienced individual in his setting, it is the tension in this that makes both him as the narrator and the story more compelling.…

fall into the seat of nihilism. Nihilism is a philosophy that is described as “no absolute truth, no absolute judgments, because there is no objective reality in which such absolutes could be rooted” (Hauser 7). Furthermore, this belief lies far away from Christianity, which then does follow a straight path to a final destination in the kingdom of God. I believe that a Christian who follows this path of truth could never practice nihilism. 2. Kreeft argues that we need apologetics. What are they…

Aesthetics have come to have a different meaning to me since I first enrolled in the class. I have come to think of the advancements we have made on the topic mind-blowing. I think every philosophy we have looked at has held a truth. Schiller says it is nature that equipped man with the ability to move from what is real to what is not. Nature provided man with two senses to help them create; sight and hearing. Once someone can enjoy sight he is aesthetically free. The power of sight gives…

validity of perspectivism in relation to the conception of ideas. Nietzsche’s perspectivist point of view provides diversity in the understanding of religious practices. Plato’s notion of the Forms and the idea of a “God” as the source of “universal truths” cannot be valid, especially due to the variety of religious beliefs that exist in the world. Surely, many of these religious points of view reveal similarities of ethics and moral values, but the differing perspectives on the identity of the…

Writing Assignment #1- option 1 Plato, a well-known 4th century philosopher, explored and dissected what a perfect society truly is. His findings were that a society either contains the concept of justiceness or it does not. This concept of justiceness is a way of keeping order and harmony within the society. In order to conceive such a society, Plato suggests that there must be a division of labor that maintains the economic functions. Plato proposes that each division has a virtue that…
