Essays on Truth

The point of view is a perspective from which the author chooses a narrator to tell a story. The third-person narrators are usually observers but not characters in the story. Kate Chopin in “The Story of an Hour” uses the third-person omniscient narrative, which captures the reader and makes him sympathetic to Louise Mallard. The reader has a possibility to see how the woman interacts with other characters, her thoughts, and feelings. Indeed, the omniscient narrator is able to tell the story of Louise’s hour of evolution and freedom but the happiness lasted only for an hour before ...

Higher education in the United States faces a number of challenges because of the opportunity gaps that exist in the society. The opportunity gaps stem from the increase in immigration of minority groups in the society and the lack of affordability for higher education in these minority groups. Despite the current arguments in the United States that there is the attainable American Dream, there are still those persons who cannot access or afford higher education. The truth is that children of lower socio-economic groups will have a more difficult time accessing higher education and this leads to the limitations ...

Each and every person has a set of values that best define who he or she is and for me, I hold in high esteem the values of honesty, self-control and humility. Honesty to me is the ability to say nothing but the truth at whatever times. Speaking the truth has helped me win confidence from other people since they end up building trust in me. Self-control on the other hand is one of my most treasured personal attributes. Self-control breeds self-esteem and personal confidence. With self-control, I am able to keep my concentration even in most demanding situations ...

Impacts of Social Media on Public Relations Practices and Crisis Management

However, it has also increased pressure among public relations managers who struggle to formulate or craft messages as well as main control information that flows from diverse users. Monitoring the content of information disseminated by stakeholders on social media sites is significant owing to the fact that though these sites stakeholders spread and disseminate information ascribed to organizational reputation.

All humans lie. I do believe that. Can you tell when someone is lying? What do you do when you are lied to? Do liars have different brain structure? Why do we choose to deceive ourselves? The Radiolab broadcast entitled “Deception” addresses each of these questions. The broadcast consists of three sections: Catching Liars, People Who Lie, and Lying to Others. Each section explores deception through interviews with various professionals. In each section, many psychological perspectives can be detected. Although I found each section intriguing, it is the last section that really brought up thought-provoking questions in the area ...

Fairytales are much often made of stuff related to fantasies and fancies. Fantasies of a child and possibly that of a child who never grows up continues to exist in an adult body in the form of imaginative figments. Such imagination is so lucid that it translates almost to reality, maybe the surreal and the virtual reality. Princess Bride is also a story of fantasies that have occasionally gone wrong, but again, the imagination is so fertile that it is apparently very close to the reality. The main character Billy believes in certain amount of reality behind wild imaginations. ...

When his city of Thebes falls under the spell of a mysterious plague, he embarks on an investigation to find out who killed the previous king and brought the curse on them. By the end, however, he finds that he himself killed the king in a series of circumstances – who also turned out to be his father.

One of the basic requirements of scientific objectivism is in the sense of the desire to base the judgment solely on the facts, guided by the generally binding laws of logic alone. Preconceptions and biases that distort the actual truth and does not take the logical conclusions from objective data should not have the place in science (Paul, Miller and Paul). Meanwhile, in the social sciences this basic requirement of scientific is often broken under the influence of traditions and prejudices, preferences and interests, prevailing in individual nations, religions, countries, classes, as well as among the political parties or ...

It is no secret that children desperately need safety and security within their homes and the love and care of their parents.

When photography arrived about 150 years ago, it was considered as a documentary medium because of the exact replicas of the subject. The technologically advanced cameras and development of photojournalism led to the development of realistic photos. Those photographs were considered a witnesses of reality as they expose the facts of life (Mullen 6). Gradually, manipulation in photography was looked upon to necessary to display the subject accurately. This was because the event was not self-explanatory or clear in photographs at times. Thus, the photographer was compelled at times to edit those images. Documentary photography is seen to belong ...

Virtue Ethics

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary interprets the words “truthful” and “truthfulness” as such which “contain, tell, or express the truth” (n.d.). Basically, the word “truth” stands for a situation where something or someone depicts sincerely any unfolding of events free of deception or fraud which cannot be told about Enron’s business. The story states that the first stage of the company’s business engagement involved the energy market and in particular, trading in gas (specifically, it included a commercial chain of purchasing gas from producers and then selling it back to utilities companies) (Healy & Palepu, 2003). In other words, Enron ...

Collectivist and Individualist Cultures

Introduction Cultures are naturally grouped into two: individualist and collectivist. On most of the occasions, cultures differ regarding the importance of individual welfare and group welfare. Societies where personal welfare is cherished nurture members who are more of self-promoting and dependent naturally. In contrast, collective societies highlight the significance of group welfare over the individual desires and needs, thus creating a more inter-dependent society. Because not every individual within a given society will be affected in precisely the same way, each individual claims a cultural personal-identity, which manifests some culturally recognized values. An individual’s cultural identity then offers ...

The Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment are best understood as conflicts between faith and reason. This statement is accurate because this time period began the separation of church and state and opened the floodgates for science to begin to become more important in society in the future. While it took some time for science and religion to completely separate, and it did not happen until much later, the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment were extremely important because they created the conflict in the first place. While this time did not completely separate reason and faith, it began to encourage people ...

I am a 9/11 truther.

History is an important subject because, as Loewen puts it, “it is about us” (Loewen). We as a nation must study our past in order to understand how far our society has come, as well as learn about the future. They say that people make mistakes so that others can learn from them, and so in this regard we must learn about the examples of our ancestors and figure out our own choices based on the course of history. History has taught us about the negative consequences of certain actions, such as racism or murder, and has prevented us ...

Roe v. Wade is a historical decision of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the legislation of abortions. The decision appears to be one of the most controversial and politically significant in the entire U.S. history. Therefore, it is important to dwell on the historical context to reveal the reasons of this decision that would have its reflection in the generations ahead. On September of 1969, working away from home, the plaintiff discovered that she was pregnant. Upon returning to Dallas, Roe declared about a rape by friends' advice, since the Texas laws permitted to terminate abortion in cases of ...

Thesis The good indicates one’s understanding of being, in which one halts from evil and incorporates the choices and beliefs that are considered good. It is a predetermined phenomenon in which one individuals try to incorporate good rather than evil in a rationalized manner. It eventually indicates that individuals indulge in the wrong only under the self-denial and unconsciousness towards the extent of good (Partenie and Tom 8). The extent to which one believes in good also accounts for the extent of self-determination which eventually empowers the individual towards new perspectives and laws (Partenie and Tom ...

The Domain of the Documentary by Nichols

Nichols argues that lovers of documentaries are meant to enjoy both the documentary aspects as a film and as a form of philosophy. Therefore, understanding the role that people play when developing solutions for films is one of the main ways through which documentaries have been noted for playing a significant role in enforcing the way people think and what they view. As such, creating numerous problems is developing a love for the documentary. In this context, documentaries play a major role in contributing to our understanding of various problems in the society whereas movies play a role in ...

Photography had a great importance in the coverage of the Civil War of the United States. It is through the photos people who did not participate in the war could receive information about events at the military front. Pictures could cause certain feelings that needed for the support of the war and in this way society can be influenced. In addition, such images have a historical and cultural value. From the point of view of history, pictures of the Civil War helped to visualize how this war really looked like for the descendants. From a cultural point of view, ...

One character whose story resonated with me as I watched the film is the narrator. Just like him, I have been concerned to find out more about the truth on the Muslim faith because many perspectives exist on the issue. Some of the stereotypes I have about Arab people and Muslims include the fact that they are viewed as brutal people, thieves, charlatans and murderers. Muslims are also perceived by many as selfish and hardliners. What I learnt about Arab culture from the film is that it is very patriarchal and holds to beliefs that violate the rights of ...

Introduction and Perspectives

As a post-positivist, I believe in the idea that knowledge, values, and the background of the research can control the phenomena that is being observed. The objective truth can be attained through considering the probable effects of the biases on the phenomenon. In this paper, I will be discussing phenomenology as a theoretical perspective when conducting a research. In addition, the phenomenological research methodology centers on the return to the experiential meaning (being experiences) and personal meanings because its main objectives are to capture the complex, rich, new descriptions of the phenomenon that is being experienced by the researched. ...

We all know what is the lie. Unfortunately, most of us lie from time to time. Very often people start lying in order to find their own weaknesses from others, to help someone else out of jam, or justify the wrong acts. There are a lot of situations when we have done something bad. Consequently, we feel that it can harm other’s feelings and cause unpleasant situation. Unfortunately, not everyone is courageous enough to admit this mistake and to take the responsibility for an act or fault. As a rule, people choose the royal road - they lie ...

The information about the origins of theatre that we have nowadays originates from divider sketches, enrichments, antiquities, and hieroglyphics that demonstrate the significance of effective chases, regular changes, life cycles, and stories of the divine beings. Theater most likely emerged as an execution of custom exercises that did not require initiation on the part of the onlooker. Early social orders saw associations between specific activities performed by the gathering or pioneers in the gathering and the wanted aftereffects of the entire society. These activities moved from propensity, to custom, and after that on to function and custom. The physical ...

Romanticism is an ideological movement in literature, science and art. It was originated in Europe at the end of the seventeenth century, as a reaction to the industrial revolution, rationalism and materialism in general and the results of French Revolution. All these explain the deep disappointment, which embraced many artists of Romanticism. It reflected in a pessimistic tone and color of the tragic art. This is where to look for the origins of life in the image of the disappointed hero, praised by romantics. That is why Romanticism was decisive for idealism in philosophy and cult feelings, not reason, ...

Zhao, Yushan, Zhu, Hongjing, Studies in Literature and Language

Abstract Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...

Discourse On Method Part IV

In part IV of Descartes' Discourse, Descartes continues his quest for knowledge of truth. In this particular section, Descartes focuses his discussion primarily on how to determine what we know with certainty to be true. Here, Descartes introduces his infamous method. Systematically he doubts everything and, afterwards, tries to see if anything remains that can be known with certainty. Descartes embarks in his journey by taking a reverse approach from earlier parts of the Discourse. In Part IV, he writes that he will doubt all knowledge that comes from the senses, with the observation that we can wrongfully interpret ...

We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (Phillip K. Dick) – Air Raid (John Varley). ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale’ is a futuristic short story written by Phillip K. Dick, centered on the concept of memory manipulation. It takes on the undiscovered fields of new age science. The concepts involved in the short story are so complex and underdeveloped even in this age and time. But still the author immaculately and ostentatiously nails his narrative. In the same sense, ‘Air Raid’ written by John Varley, seems to be the perfect match for the pairing. Both these short stories ...

Introduction

Plato is perhaps one of the most well-known philosophers in Western history. Even if many people don’t fully understand his ideas, most are aware that he was a very important and influential thinker. How did someone who lived over 2000 years ago have such a tremendous and lasting impact on our culture? By introducing a new way of seeing the world that revolutionized how philosophers defined truth. In The Republic and The Apology, Plato uses the character Socrates (based on, but probably not an accurate representation, of his teacher) to explain his view of truth, his method for ...

4a. It is rational to believe that the textbook is a textbook because it was written and sold specifically to be used as the foundational text for a critical thinking course. The claim that courses like the one the book was written for are unusual is a pretentious lie that says more about the author’s ego than anything else, as critical thinking courses are common in universities and are frequently part of the basic general education requirements for a variety of majors. The book contains all of the material you would expect a critical thinking course, including definitions ...

Others prefer to stay in the marriage-like arrangement due to the main tendency to individual independence in our society. Nevertheless, both of them face with different problems in their relationship due to the several everyday problems such ...

It is in my most humble opinion that a mystical experience can be described as any encounter, association or practical experience with some sort of essential or greater power, truth or realm. It can be said that this area of greater truth is outside of the realm of ordinary and/or typical consciousness of oneself. It is to my understanding that a mystical experience can be acquired mainly through deep meditation in direct relation to an individual’s own spiritual discipline. However that is not to say that one whom is not necessarily spiritual or secular, cannot acquire an experience ...
