According to Hume we build up all our ideas from simple impressions by means of three laws of association: Resemblance, Contiguity, & Cause and Effect. Hume distinguishes between relations of ideas and matters of fact; he says that relations of ideas are, for the most part, mathematical truths, so denial of them would result in a contradiction. Matters of fact are the more common truths that we learn from experience (for example the sun rising in the morning). Hume also says that that there is no rational justification for a belief in miracles. There are many contradictions in Hume, but there is little agreement on what these contradictions show about Hume's thought in general.
Katrina, if you compare your passage with the original definition of Middle English, you notice that just a few words are actually changed but the whole concept and the way the ideas are organized are parallel to your passage. In both your work and the original definition of Middle English, first the Renaissance is mentioned, and then the dates are given, following with the Norman Conquest and ending with the example of Morte D’arthur. Katrina, I hope you notice that your work is too similar to the original definition. The main concern here is that you have not cited this information. It is completely okay to use someone else’s ideas but you have not given any credit to the author therefore this is an act of plagiarism.
Meaning the perceptions of the labeled truths is a result of our translation of incomplete experiences into new perception resulting from what he or she could retain from the original experience. Those variety of truths all connect to a main idea that allows them to be truths, this is explained in Tim O’Brien’s “How to Tell War Story”. O’Brien observed while trying to retell his war stories that alterations appeared when he was retelling it, but found this doesn’t make the altered stories false because they retained the same basis or idea from the unaltered experience causing them to be truths. Truth, in essence, is constantly being translated from limited experiences in an effort to convey a similar idea as the original experience so recipients can partially experience that experience believable. Due to our limitations as recipients, which cause truth to vary among us, discovering truth becomes impossible because of its constant changes.
It is an umbrella term, associated with many types of disciplines outside the historical realm, and can be segregated into an explanation of national identity or the archival support in the background. On top of this, all of the authors agree that memory and history are interdependent. They are able to question and enhance each other because of the opposite natures. As such, it can be guaranteed that historians of this generation are subject to the subjectivity of the memory-history relationship. Absolute truth to what happened in the past is impossible to find, but we may be able to piece together perspectives to create a story of the historical past.
We did meet with Suzanne Christopher and discussed with her the characteristics of ASL that make it “non-English.” Ms. Christopher provided us with current research concerning ASL’s linguistic identity. After analyzing this research, we concluded that ASL has its own distinct grammar, morphology, modality, structure, syntax, markers, and idioms. It therefore meets the criterion by which CSU defines a language as foreign. (Not all sign languages meet the criterion, though ASL clearly does. For example, Signed Exact English cannot be considered a “non-English” language; it assigns a unique sign to each English word and uses standard English grammar and syntax.)

The conclusion of the memo is also stated plainly at the end of the document. Fabowlus (2014) states, “SAG-AFTRA Nevada Local should not support Ms. Glover.” What are the reasons? There are several reasons detailed in the memo, and though the points are a bit haphazard, they are obvious. The author uses reason identifier terms, which Browne & Keeley (2012) state are easy ways to determine if an item is a reason or not. More often than not, these reasons stated are not factual, but opinionated.
Nonstandard diction refers to expressions that are not considered legitimate words according to the rules of Standard English usage. Nonstandard diction includes "ain't," "theirselves," "hisself," "anyways," "alot" (the accepted version is "a lot"), and "alright" (the accepted version is "all right"). Most good dictionaries will identify such expressions with the word "Nonstandard." ( When you refer to information contained in Joe’s book (and everyone is required to do this) but have no reference, your essay is not theoretically sophisticated. You must have references even if you do not directly quote.
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.
If determinism is true, then we don’t have free will. Discuss. It can be argued that if determinism is true, then we do not have free will. However, this argument really depends on which stream of determinism is being referred to. The argument that supports this idea the most is the fatalism argument - the idea that everything is predetermined before we are born and our actions do not affect this.
