Phong Nguyen 1/8/15 Salvation Reading Response The story, “Salvation” by Langston Hughes reminds me of a past personal experience of when I was a kid growing up in a religious environment.

Literature – Henrik Ibsen Abstract: In this essay, Ibsen’s plays, The Wild Duck, and Ghosts are considered in relation to themes of illusions and realities. In both plays, families are held together by illusions, yet torn apart by truths that have been concealed to protect the children.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary believing is basically to accept or regard something as true or in a layman’s term, trusting something and fighting for it, but people’s belief is and can be contradicted and subjected to change.

From the articles we read about conspiracy theories, we have found that their is a lot of evidence that has shown that conspiracies could be true. In most occasions these conspiracies end up not being true, or the conspiracists do not bring up enough eligible evidence to prove their point. Most conspiracists are

An idealist may best be defined as a skeptic who is of the mindset that it may not be proven that there are material objects outside the realm of thought. For the purpose of examining what an idealist’s views are on different concepts of “physical things,” this text will address the concepts of a “golden mountain,” “a round square,” and an “imaginary friend.” Because “golden” is being used as a quality of a physical thing called a “mountain,” I would submit that an idealist would accept the notion
