witnesses to. To me a witness is someone who tells a story in hopes of finding truth and finding peace. A witness mean someone who is willing to listen to people tell theirs stories and continue to tell those stories when other people are no longer able to. While visiting the Africa Burial Grounds going through the different exhibits, I came across a quote that I believe describes in perfect detail what a witness is. “I’m for truth no matter who tells it, I’m for justice no matter who it is for or

The Allegory of the cave is a story written by Plato an ancient philosopher who presented this work in The Republic to describe the truth about reality. Plato believed that reality and the truth are both hard to find. One must find knowledge of himself, discovering truth that is a process and to make known self understanding. Plato wrote this story as a discussion between two greek philosophers, Socrates and Glaucon. Socrates asks Glaucon what would it be like if people lived in the dark where all

aspects of the adversarial system, scholars argue that as it is practiced today, the system is deeply flawed and does not promote truth finding. According to Keith Findley (2012), Clinical Professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School, and Co-Director of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, the criminal court system as of today seeks justice but does not seek the truth.

puppets and Journalists are the puppet masters. Finding truth in the media is difficult because of all the false information given. Journalist tend to give one sided views when reporting news. Major news sources only give information that supports their side. Current events have proven that a person can not believe one news sources to validate a claim.

And in the play, Oedipus the King, Oedipus is seeking for the truth that is all he wants to know; who is the murderer of the good old King Laius? When Oedipus walked on the stage, he was extremely determined to find the truth and remove pollution from Thebes, for he said “I will bring this to light again…call the assembly and let it meet

Summary: My essay looks at Part 1 of “Utilization-focus Evaluation”, through the eyes of author Michael

follows a young scientist who goes by the name of Edward Elric. In the first volume, Edward claims, “scientists… are in a sense the closest things to” God, since they “strive to uncover the principles of creation… the truth” (Arakawa 22). But the ways in how scientists obtain these truths are different from how God obtains information. God is omniscient, so he does not have to look for answers; he knows everything.
