According to McAllister, an example of propositional truth is the statement that “God hate lies” and to defend that statement they give one life experiences from biblical times which is referred to as experimental truth. McAllister states that “none of us is likely to experience the brutal behavior described so precisely in Iliad, but reading the Iliad can help us to understand some of the terror and exhilaration these warriors felt”. So from McAllister the reader gathers that propositional truth is a statement or belief that in many cases is argumentative to outsiders. The reader also gather that experimental truth is possibly the supporting detail for propositional truth. This makes it person to the person that believes that God in fact hate

Daoism is one of the main philosophical traditions in China and the East.

Lies, they're everywhere, are they worth the trouble? Throughout these three articles, “It’s the truth”, “Honestly tell the truth”, and “Rejecting all lies”, the authors precisely analyze who agrees, and who doesn’t agree with lying, and why. Lying may be the first thing to come to mind when in a bad situation, but does anyone realize how much damage it can cause towards the other person or to the liar themselves?

Chris Mccandless was a man that many would call crazy or maybe even immoral. He left everything to live in the wild and become “one with nature”. He had determination, a strong mindset, fearlessness and courage. I believe that my life and the life of Chris Mccandless are not similar in any aspect. In fact I wish that my life was more like his and that I had the drive and determination to do what he did.
The quality of being true is related to something clear, without any uncertainty. This is perfectly summarized by the Greek word for truth is ἀλήθεια (alétheia), from the privative prefix ἀ- (a-), meaning 'not', and -λήθε (-lethe), 'oblivion', which, as Martin Heidegger (2001) explained by analysing its etymology, refers to "the state of not being hidden". Truth is a cross issue, that embraces everything related to humans, from the most ordinary aspect of daily life, to the most deep religious thought. The need to find what is true is part of the human nature, but as the German philosopher Edmund Husserl (1965) stated, that same nature, which gave us the need of knowledge, at the same time bound us to subjectivity, limiting our understanding to judgement and interpretation, thus, truth can only be obtained gradually, through a never ending task. This process of understanding finds its ancient roots in Greece, in the VII-VI century B.C., when philosophy was born and the slow loss of universal certainties has started. The very first interest of philosophers was that to define the concept of Being, a wide notion that embraces objective and subjective features of reality. Throughout the philosophy of truth, objectivism and subjectivism lead to the development of the two major approaches to reality, Relativism and Universalism.

From reading over the vignette it is evident that Cynthia's insight on her current illness appears to be poor and her judgment was deemed impaired by the LCSW that assessed her. She was in complete denial about there being any issues, she refused any testing or treatments and stated she would decline to be a "trained seal, guinea pig, Mr. Ed, and a barking dog". Her lack of understanding and acceptance of her mental illness has prevented her from seeking the treatment that she needs. It is important when developing treatment plans for clients to understand all aspects of the client such as; genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors in order to understand the underlying causes.

Truth can be defined as conformity to reality or actuality and in order for something to be “true” it must be public, eternal, and independent. If the “truth” does not follow these guidelines then it cannot be “true.” Obviously in contrary anything that goes against the boundaries of “truth” is inevitably false. True and false, in many cases does not seem to be a simple black and white situation, there could sometimes be no grounds to decide what is true and what is false. All truths are a matter of opinion. Truth is relative to culture, historical era, language, and society. All the truths that we know are subjective truths (i.e. mind-dependent truths) and there is nothing more to truth than what we are willing to assert as true
