Philosophy Scenario Evaluation
In many situations, certain questions can be answered in a manner that can be regarded as true in viewing the answers from different contexts. An answer that would not be widely-regarded as "truth" in today's day and age, may have been considered true in the context of an earlier time, which does not necessarily mean that this respective answer is wrong. In viewing the following three scenarios, one can better understand how a truth can be found not only in viewing certain subjective situations, but in the sense of being true in the context of a more objective world.
For instance, if asked, "What is the height of the Washington Monument?" A knowledgeable American would say, "555 feet 51.8 inches," while a knowledgeable Italian would say, "169,294 meters." In this instance, both speakers can be regarded as saying something true. While each individual's respective answer may seem to be completely different from one another at first glance, upon undergoing a deeper analysis, one will soon discover that in this instance, the common truth of the answer is hidden in the way it has been introduced. As the American has based his response on the U.S. customary system of measurement, and the Italian has based his on the metric system, the truth remains that each system, regardless of numerical response differences, bases its respective systems on...
In understanding this, one can better understand that these responses each say something true about the common, objective world in which we live, which allows certain things to remain true regardless of the ways in which different individuals or groups may perceive them.
In viewing the second example, an analysis proves to be much the same as the first. If asked, "What happens to the earth and sun around twilight?" we would say, "The earth is rotating away from the sun," while an ancient Greek might say, "The sun is moving away from the earth." In viewing each response in the context of its own subjective history, each speaker can, in fact, be regarded as saying something true. While by today's standards, the human population understands that during twilight hours, the earth and its respective locations begin to rotate away from the sun as it makes one full rotation lasting 24-hours, in the context of ancient Greece, this truth that we hold as fact today would be one that was regarded as nonsense. The ancient Greeks lived under a different truth, as at the point and time of their existence, science and knowledge led them to believe that at twilight, the sun moved further away from the earth itself. In understanding this facet of ancient Grecian beliefs, one can understand that only in applying the aforementioned statements to the context and time…
Natural overburden includes silty clay, silty peat, and silty sand (CH2MHILL, p. 3-2). Overburden is generally thin, averaging 3 meters in most areas, but can go up to 9 meters at times (CH2MHILL, p. 3-2). Native soils primarily reside in areas of low topography. This topography allows for constant movement and shifting of overburden. Rainy seasons create excessive water flows, which travel down slopes to the low-lying areas and into
However, other times, a business vision that may seem to be a good idea initially will prove to be unwise once one conducts a more formal analysis of all of the relevant variables and considerations involved. I learned how important it is to maintain effective communications across a broad spectrum of communications media. Today, a business person must be able to multi-task and to conduct and effectively integrate numerous different
Post modernism is the philosophy which asserts that there is no one truth or falsehood per se, rather that each culture, group, or individual is brought up in a certain reality and experiences life and its happenings based upon his or her particular teachings, geo-historical times, and experiences. In that manner, no one particular culture can impose its ways of thinking as doctrinaire Truth since there is no Truth. Rather,
" In answer to questions 1 and 2, therefore, detectives Underwood and Freeman may be allowed to commit necessary misdemeanors or felonies in order to keep their undercover status from being revealed and compromised by invoking authorized criminality. Undercover police or detectives must engage in authorized crimes for two major reasons: to provide the suspects the change to engage in the target crime and to maintain a false identity or enhance access
