Justified true belief

“You are a Taong Grasa.” Do you believe in that? Do you consider yourself a Taong Grasa? If not, then what is a Taong Grasa?

By having an abortion performed, the women is allowing the abortionist to harm-- to kill-- the baby growing inside her.

In the novel the Japanese officials test the faith of priests and want them to apostatize since they feel that Christianity is not suited for Japan. One priest in particular,…

Topic C With all that is going on, today, concerning politics, the media, and the environment, how do we remain calm? Most people are committed to a religion or belief system that gives them faith in their time of anguish. What we are going through right now is not even comparable to what China went through during the Warring Sates Period. What did they have to look to in their time of anguish?

patients, listen to them even if just for a moment, so that they feel like they are more than just a person in a hospital bed but a human being. It is my belief that a good nurse holds both their own values and those of their patients at an equal level and respects their patients values as much as their own.
