False memories are events recalled by a witness that did not actually happen. There is research which suggests that up to 20% of those studied maintain a record of detailed personal memories that are completely false (Mazzoni, Scoboria, and Harvey, 2010). As reported in Alexander (2013), false memories can even be found in those with an otherwise excellent recall: Some people have an amazing ability to recall specific events, like exactly what happened on a particular day decades ago. For example
Introduction: HE purpose of this essay is to argue that René Descartes’s response to philosophical scepticism does not commit the fallacy of circular reasoning.

Writing is fun, sometimes puts me in emotional feeling, or even bring me back to the time, to something I really interested about. The other kids said they don't like essay, it gives them headache, too much of idea to look up for. Wondered why some people love to write so much?

that you’re doing the right thing. While storytelling can lead to so many good influences, but it will affect your life’s choices. But our memories are only stories that we tell ourselves again and again each time we recall an event, not a true depiction of the facts, therefore we create stories based on memories we have and not one memory is the real truth.

Theoretical Framework Cohen’s Three Keys In Paul Cohen’s, History in three keys, there is an underlying focus on the purpose and intention of a historical narrative. History in three keys provided a framework that explicitly grapples with events of the Boxer Rebellion (1898-1900) - an uprising against national contamination in the form of foreign missionaries, soldiers, diplomats as well as native Christians and enemies real of imagined.

Using examples from the publication
In this essay, I will be discussing the ways in which Socrates defends himself in court against those which he calls his ‘first accusers’. As stated in Plato’s text, there are two kinds of accusations against Socrates, the first, older accusation which he dreads the most, and the contemporary charge made by Anytus, Meletus, and Lycon.
