Major Lessons Learned

Major Lessons Learned

     I'll be blunt. I don't remember some of the lessons we discussed because of my unreliable memory. The things I remember are truth vs. reality, cultural relativism and logical fallacies. In truth vs reality I learned that truth means a fact accepted by an individual while reality are facts that are accepted by everyone. For example, others don't believe the lunar landing with Neil Armstrong(refer to the link below) while we know for sure that it happened. For reality everyone knows that when you throw an apple  upwards it will eventually fall.




            Cultural relativism states that morals are varies from culture to culture. For example in China death penalty is legal, but in the Philippines it is not.



              Logical fallacies are used to make a statement seem true even thought they're not. For example:
Noisy children cause headaches
Aspirin makes headaches go away
Therefore, aspirin makes noisy children go away
