Plato’s doctrine of recollection is supposed to solve the problem of Meno’s paradox. Meno’s paradox is stating that the learning of definitions is impossible, as you already know subconsciously the answer to the question or definition you are asking. Meno argues that you have to be able to differentiate correct and incorrect definitions and because you are able to do so, it means that you have always known the answer. Meno, however, is able to utilize this way of thinking because he uses the term knowledge as vaguely as possible. Plato's doctrine of recollection states that rather than learning, what is really happening when people think about something, and in the end discover an answer to a problem, is that they are recollecting things that they already knew.
The act was created to protect children and Templeman regarded the arguments on the words ‘is suffering’ as a distraction from the aim. ‘This is an example of judicial practicality and desire to see justice down’ . This case illustrates that the ‘rules’ of statutory interpretation do not have to be followed exactly and are merely guidelines. Lord Templeman states that the rules of interpretation have ‘an aura of scientific authenticity about them when the reality is that interpreting any document is more of an art than a science’ . In other words, the rules can only be guidelines because judges will clearly have different interpretations.
The text states that euphemisms and weaselers have uses but only if we are speaking, writing, listening, and reading carefully could we even distinguish prejudicial uses of these devices. It further states that photographs and other images are not claims or valid arguments but can be used to affect the reader’s decision making. They are invalid because a photograph may not state the exact truth and can be used to mislead the viewer. 3. What are some methods you might use to determine the reliability of the data you gather?

Education and interview scores are not effective predictors as they are not associated with the performance measure in an effective manner, which can really be assessed. The complete data of the candidate should be collected in the selection process as it would provide the best candidate to the organization. The use of appropriate predictors would be beneficial for Tanglewood in order to find good candidates. The following predictors should be used by Tanglewood: 1. Work experience – The work experience is the first and most important predictor, which should be used to measure the candidate effectiveness.
Prompt 1: “stereotypes exist because they are grounded in truth” With their limited knowledge, humans tend to make generalizations based on assumptions and simplified images, ignoring the complex and vital definition of a human being. Stereotyping is a reductionist approach which ignores diversity within different groups causing a behavior to be oversimplified. Instead of taking account of the holistic picture it focuses on what is making sense according to the society’s predefined norms than what is actually true. Stereotypes may refer to a specific sex, religion, race or country. Judging people without knowing them will lead us to make false assumptions, which is a dehumanizing act.
Functionalism An important part of some accounts of functionalism is the idea of multiples reliability. Since, according to standard functionalist theories, mental states are the corresponding functional role, mental states can be sufficiently explained without taking into account the underlying physical medium e.g. the brain, neurons, etc. That realizes such states, one need only take into account the higher level functions in the cognitive system. Criticisms This perspective failed to clearly show how areas of conflict were addressed, as they emphasized agreement and people all having the same shared values (vale consensus).
Second, he argues that it is only by virtue of something being sentient that it can be said to have interests at all, so this places sentience in a different category than the other criteria: "The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way" (175). That is, Singer is trying to establish that if a being is not sentient, the idea of extending moral consideration to it makes no sense. This negative argument is important, because one common criticism of Singer is that his criterion ends up excluding humans who are no longer sentient (like those in an irreversible coma); Singer is content to accept that consequence, but it is important that he show why the exclusion of some humans by his criterion is not problematic, given that he has criticized other criteria
In the rant called “The Smart Gap,” Eric Maisel explains his personal opinion on brain power of individuals. Grit, however, isn’t something that he believes will help people find success. Although some may not agree with what was stated, Maisel brings up many persuaded key points to help get his point across. Throughout Eric Maisel’s rant, many key points are brought up. First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed.
In this work, Locke contradicts the theory of innate ideas and put forth the concept of the human mind as being a “tabula rasa” or blank slate where it is void of any ideas. Locke believed knowledge came from two sources: externally through the five senses and internally from functions of the mind such as perception, reflection, and doubting. Although both are important in the development of knowledge, the mind’s interactions between the two sources are the decisive
