I am not saying just get rid of it completely but we all have learned about the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation in history classes growing up and why they are so important to us. All three have made changes to many things but the Constitution by far is just not something that we should change. Do not change something that has
That is, a false premise can possibly lead to a false result, and inconclusive premises will also yield an inconclusive conclusion. Both types of reasoning are routinely employed. One difference between them is that in deductive reasoning, the evidence provided must be a set about which everything is known before the conclusion can be drawn. Since it is difficult to know everything before drawing a conclusion, deductive reasoning has little use in the real world. This is where inductive reasoning steps in.
I feel that most of the worlds history is a collection of biased facts. Each country narrates its own history books and particularly selects parts that are favorable and suppresses parts that are unfavorable. The historians are going to write mostly, sometimes only the good or “acceptable” parts of the event. For instance, the excerpt that we read dealing with Christopher Columbus, most people know historically, that he sailed westward
According to the scientific method in order to test a hypothesis one must make sure the claim is falsifiable. Although there is evidence that the planets move almost like clockwork, however that is not enough to prove astrology specifically. However studies and tests have been conducted in the past in order to verfiy its claims. Similar to the practise of witchcraft, the failure of producing the desired result is almost always blamed on the psychic or astrologers inability and not the fault of astrology itself.5 The difficulty to test this is due to its subjectivity. This makes it unscientific; the result of every experiment must either be true or
Context: What is history? * In a nutshell: history is an attempt to understand and explain the past * Context- historians, of course, don’t begin at the dawn of time every time the write something, so they set the stage before launching into narratives, which is what we call context. * Evidence- historians must also rely on evidence (i. e. proof) like documents to support their ideas, or they’re just telling stories * Interpretations- this results in numerous interpretations, because different people see different things in the sources * And these Interpretations can and often do change over time based on various things * For instance, new evidence will push people to reconsidered ideas * Like how and when Indians came to America * Initially, historians thought that Asian nomads came to North America about 13,500 years ago over an ice bridge from Siberia to Alaska and then fanned out across the continent. They were then isolated when the ice age ended and watered covered the Bering Strait 9,500 years
Analyse the ways history and memory generate compelling and unexpected insights. In your response, make detailed reference to your prescribed text and at least ONE other related text of your own choosing. History and memory are both multifaceted ideas that are challenged continually. History is often perceived as fact, in the recount of an event or retelling of a story that did in fact, take place.

Skepticism makes a person questions ideas toward multiple things such as knowledge or opinions that are stated as if it is true like facts. Rene Descartes argument for skepticism is to not believe every doubt that you give yourself. In his words "withstand all doubt because the evidence of our senses sometimes misleads us, it does not provide a secure basis for knowledge. We cannot be certain that we are awake and not dreaming." His argument can be argued because people have senses that can guide them to doubt themselves by the way people talk to them or other people actions.
If this was the case, genuine events would be very rare. While Percy is correct to believe that experiences are authentic if one has had no prior preconceived notions, life reveals that deepest experiences can also occur when expectations are surprisingly wrong. Walker Percy poses a rational argument to the reality behind life occurrences.
