Goodman, Some Properties (Like Being Green) Figure
According to Goodman's New Riddle of Induction, the original problem with induction that philosophers tried to solve was that anything can follow anything else. People such as Hume, however, showed this to be impossible and so philosophers, such as Hempel, tried to loosen it to statements that could confirm another (i.e. project one from the other and be to some extent projectable).
Goodman showed, however, that inventing a word with an invented term such as ‘grue' does not eliminate the former problem and inductive statements still do not grant us any form of certainty. Not only does one not follow from the other, but we also cannot draw any projectable conclusions. The best that we can do is find a way to validate certain hypotheses (i.e. formulate reasons/ conditions for accepting some above others) and for making a distinction between valid and invalid inferences. Invalid hypothesis would be for the form ‘grue' and, in order to accept inductive statements, we need to distinguish between those that are invalid (namely those that accept illegitimate terms such as ‘grue') and those that are valid.
Questions and requirements from document analysis
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has to be closely linked to the organization to be work well, to please the stakeholder, and to be a not one-off effort. Only in this way, does it become true philanthropy since it is congruent with the organization's goals.
The following essay is on CSR and on the ways in which Qatar petroleum (the company which I work for) meets CSR.
In order to assess whether my organization coheres to this standard, I would first need to explore the concept of CSR and then investigate ways that my organization does/ does not meet its tenets.
Has TSA Physical Searches Violated Personal Privacy Laws?
This essay examines whether or not the TSA has violated privacy laws. It is difficult to answer this question directly, because the TSA's privileged position means that it is unlikely to face prosecution under the most applicable laws, such as those concerning sexual assault or battery. Instead, it seems likely that one of the myriad lawsuits against the agency will make its way to the Supreme Court, and barring any exceptional ruling, the TSA will be found to have been in violation of at least some of the protections afforded by the Constitution.
