learn. What we hope we are being taught is truths, because if we were being taught something that is false there would be no reason to go to school. But with that statement we need to ask, what is truth? As individuals we take in our experiences and organize them into schemas. These schemas then become our personal truths.

Truth The question of right and wrong has been battled over for centuries. Many conservatives still believe that truth is absolute, while others disagree, saying that truth is relative. I believe that truth is an individual’s perception of beliefs and decisions. For that reason, truth differentiates among individuals thorough their contrasting opinions. But, truth is something that everyone believes to be correct. Thus, it greatly depends on what’s true in the minds of the people. On the contrary
The Lonely Truth Social norms have existed in every society since the dawn of time and they are very prevalent in The Scarlet Letter Social norms in the novel are based upon very Puritanical values which causes the townspeople to live a very rigidly structured lifestyle.

We all know that there are numerous
Truth is often something people take for granted. We believe that because we witness or experience something then it’s true. A color-blind person may see a red table as grey and say the table is grey, contending that’s the truth even when everyone else states the table is red. As humans, we have the tendency to base truth off personal experience even if we’re wrong. Indeed, even the majority of people within a community have mistaken the truth. A few centuries ago it was believed the world was flat
Practice PT To what extent is truth different in mathematics, the natural sciences, and the arts?

Montaigne, Descartes, and Pascal all believe in a superlative truth unforeseeable through the commonly held truth of society.

"Story-truth is sometimes truer than happening-truth." (171) When most people read this quote in Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, they think story truth is emotional truth while happening truth refers to the facts and reality. But beneath the surface we see that the truth is never actually told. No matter how you tell a story the actual truth will never be revealed. The actual truth is for our own sense of self.
