Vagueness

1) To dive into the puzzle of the Sea Battle we must first discuss the Principle of Bivalence. The Principle of Bivalence can be summarized as follows: for any well-formed proposition, the truth value of that statement must be either true or false. The truth value of the proposition cannot be both (a contradiction), nor neither (a gap). And when looking at the puzzle of the Sea Battle it is of special importance to us to keep in mind that a proposition cannot be neither true nor false, for like…

The river harbors a symbolic presence in Joseph Conrad 's novella, Heart of Darkness (serial, 1899; book, 1902). In these pages, Conrad observes and deconstructs the darkness of imperialism —long considered the "white man 's burden"— as an extension of his experiences in the Congo Free State (now called the Democratic Republic of Congo), then expansive personal property for Leopold II, King of Belgium (Norton 1890). Not only he denounces the abuses committed against the Africans in the name of…

When the subject of the Holocaust is brought up, there are many ideas, debates, and theories that surround the topic; some even debate that it never even happened. Many different scholars as well as others have discussed and debated the reasons why it happened, how it happened, and so forth. One of the most popular debates surrounding the Holocaust is whether or not the atrocities that took place were the intent of Hitler from the beginning or whether they were just outcomes of the circumstances…

The War Powers Resolution Act of 1973 is said to have been passed by an “opportunistic” congress who took advantage of public opinion at a time of declining popularity for President Nixon, who was embroiled in the turmoil of the Vietnam War, Watergate, and several other high profile political gaffs (Crook, J., 2012, p. 157). The end result was a piece of legislation intended to further check the executive branch’s power as commander-in-chief to commit US forces to hostilities by granting…

Davis, the reality is exposed and reveals a flawed system designed and utilized by the wealthy upper class to punish and theoretically enslave the mentally ill and minority groups. In particular, “Supremacy Crimes” details the generalization and vagueness with which the media chooses to present events of mass killings and other tragic situations and paints a picture towards the true culprit committing these crimes effectively opening…

Without a doubt everything we do in life is uncertain. This ambiguous trait of life is what keeps life full of interest, but this also provides significance and value in the real world. However, up front the duality of human nature should be taken into account. Duality in psychology is important for our lives as it is a ‘twofold’ division. There can be two separate and independent forces or ways in order to think but at the end of the day both are equal, and have the same logical reasoning…

The artist employs this vagueness in order to stress the generalization of the seemingly lower class; recognizing that the Rat People of a community are as human as the most noble and aristocratic members of the same society, also making the apparent savages’ human qualities nearly…

This is important because it helps defines the quality of what the NASW and CSWE stands for, and also help protect the client and the worker in a compromising situation. However, in accepting the vagueness in dual or multiple relation-ships, it is very imperative that the worker focus on whether or not the situation is conflicting with the social work “values, ethnical duties and obligations; the individuals, groups and organi-zations that are likely…

Daniel Antonio P. Recinto 2015-07058 Analysis of Pinoy Henyo Have you ever wondered or even tried to read someone’s mind? Actually, all people read minds everyday. Although it’s physically impossible to actually reach out into the minds of others, people tend to constantly guess until they reach their objective. And by doing so, people tend to look for hints or clues that would draw them nearer to the door of other people’s mind—or at least into what they are thinking. This is a frequent habit…

each state has different acts and this also creates inconsistencies and conflict between state acts. New South Wales in particular lacks clear state legislation relating to surrogacy, even though Surrogacy Act 2010 is in place, which stipulates the vagueness in the legal rights and responsibilities of commissioning parents and birth parents as well as in the rights of a child born through surrogacy. In order for the law to be more successful, law reform needs to remove inconsistencies between…
