1. What is your religion and how do you view religion? My religion is Roman Catholic. For me, religion is an institution in human society that guides people with their belief and faith in God and living a life in the likes of Jesus. It is a guide which teaches not only about faith and about moral and spiritual development but traditions and culture as well. For me, there is no religion that can save people from sin. Having strong commitment with your Church or religion is different from having
Following Edmund Gettier's paper “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” epistemologists were left with critical questions about the adequacy of justified true belief as the definition of knowledge. Gettier illustrated scenarios where it seemed counterintuitive to say a person had knowledge, yet the person seemed to have a justified true belief. To move past the “Gettier Problem,” it appears that some additional criterion to justified true belief must be posited which avoids running into such troubling
true, and believed. As this essay will explore, Edmund L. Gettier attempted to dismantle this theory of knowledge by arguing that it is possible to have a justified true belief without having knowledge. Following an evaluation of this, the integrity of Gettier’s assumption made in his argument will be explored, concerning his belief as to what the word justified means in this context. Furthermore, Gettier’s assumption can then be challenged by an alternate premise regarding knowledge that includes
society, due to how society believes that an honorable woman stays at home. Beginning with the word “Started”, the singer used this word to demonstrate how from the moment she started wearing less clothing she started to go out more, emphasizing his belief of how before she started to act like this she wouldn't go out due to her being pure and not impure. The singer is indeed slut shaming the woman by using this word since he is emphasizing how before she wouldn't go out due to her class and modesty
Get Involved Personal beliefs are rooted in the confidence or trust that a person has in someone, something or a concept. In fact, many personal beliefs are established throughout a lifetime and can often be shaped by personal events or experiences. One of my own personal beliefs has always been that giving your time, effort and voice to others, being an active member of the community is important to the community and its evolution. At its core, a community is centered around families: my community
An internal struggle is a “psychological struggle within the mind of a literary or dramatic character, the resolution of which creates the plot's suspense” (dictionary.refrence.com). In the drama Macbeth by William Shakespeare one could go as far as saying that the internal struggle of the main character is the base of the plot itself. The entire drama revolves around the facets of Macbeth’s internal struggle and the actions which he takes as a result of this. Catalysed by low self esteem a struggle

To me, a religion is a set of beliefs strong enough to affect the way people behave. If a belief is both popular and productive, it can spread from one person to another, and eventually unify many people under a common doctrine. Once in practice, a religion can unify, divide, or form new factions to do the same. It can promote, condemn, or change the rules in order to do so. Religion can be whatever people want it to be, and therefore be used to represent what people want it to represent. In this
Neil Van Leeuwen postulates that the term “belief” has difference, not only in its referred contents, but also to the attitudes in which they are made or articulated. Van Leeuwen argues that two different attitudes towards “beliefs” emerge; namely, he differentiates between what he calls a factual belief and religious credence (Van Leeuwen 2014, p. 01). He states that factual beliefs adhere to certain properties that religious credence’s do not, and vice versa. I shall begin by defining a few terms
