hard and achieve only what they deserve. He views socialism as the tool of plundered laws to make its subjects docile so that they may be taken advantage of. It is not until the end of his essay that he compares socialism with communism using flawed logic, which further invalidates his argument.

As I was doing this, my group members looked at each other kind of strangely and scratching their heads as they told me that most of my responses were very different from what they had. When they told me their logics and reasoning, I soon realized that my answers were completely off guard. In that moment, I felt as if I was running on a cliff to only find out that I was standing in mid-air and just plummeted down to the ground. I was just so confident in my…

The knowledge argument, developed by Philosopher Frank Jackson, poses a counter example to the physicalist perspective. Because both arguments are based on examples and thesis rather than facts and data, it is imperative to examine and understand both sides before making any judgements.
