they were deciding whether the accused boy would live or die. He had reasonable doubts in his mind as to why the boy might not be guilty. Even so, many other jurors had no care about the boy’s life, and most just wanted to get out of the jury room. This proves that the jurors and their morality conflict.

Fleming’s character in The Red Badge of Courage. As a result of Henry’s experiences on the battlefield, he matured from a glory-seeking boy to a patriotic soldier, transformed his own fears into vengeful anger at the enemy, and converted his self-doubts into confidence as a leader. The motivation behind Henry Fleming’s decision to join the fight against the Confederate Army was initially a selfish one. When he first joined his regiment with the Union Army, Henry “craved a power that would enable

If our beliefs are wrong, science could be wrong altogether. If science could be wrong, we should doubt it. Since there is a doubt for science, we should reject science altogether as a source of knowledge.

Father Flynn is clearly guilty for several reasons, for one because of his actions early in the story, and also because of his decision to leave St. Nicholas Catholic School

everything (body, extension, senses, etc.), Descartes comes to the conclusion that because he doubts, he must be a thinking thing and therefore exist (p.43). This means that the mind must be separate and independent from the body. One can doubt that the body exists while leaving the mind intact. To doubt that the mind exists, however, is contradictory. For if the mind does not exist, how, or with what, is that doubt being accomplished. Descartes’ argument for mind/body dualism can be simply stated in the
