Finding a gift or a piece of clothing that is not what was expected or unappealing can be disappointing and can cause distractions on insubstantial stuff. Do I have to keep this? Can I get rid of this? Will everyone be looking at me when I have this with me? Do I have a choice? In Gary Soto’s “The Jacket” the young man receives a jacket he dislikes greatly and does not appeal to his wants. In addition, Soto uses literary elements, symbols and figurative language to influence the overarching…

It was an unusual day. Today is just different, it’s just not a typical day. Although everyday always seems to be a re-play of the same exact day. The vibe was different. Usually I did everything in a certain matter and way. Everything felt backwards and odd today. I usually never raked the leaves of my backyard. What was I thinking that day? When the routine is different, something always seems to happen. I was excited, enthusiastic and happy like I always would be. My neighbor invited me to…

External World Skepticism The definition of external world skepticism is the idea that someone can not understand fully the external world, but rather only the own internal world that takes place within their mind. The purpose of this paper is to support external world skepticism, and use the arguments of Vogel, and Descartes to further show that it is something that occurs in everyday life. The external world is, in short, everything that happens outside of your mind. For example, the Marvel…

Philonous, Berkeley wants to deny the existence of matter as a thing independent of the mind, because he thinks that this kind of belief supports a sceptical view of the world (9). It follows then, that we can only know the world through our mental perceptions, and there cannot be any experience of reality independent of the way we perceive it. For example, we do not know a chair’s existence without having some kind of sensible relation to it, be it by vision, touch or even smell. However, some…

Swann’s Way, Marcel Proust analyzed the concept of time, more specifically the perception of time held by any individual. Proust, having great interest in the philosophical work of Bergotte, set out to explore the perception of time in this particular work. Time and how it is perceived, appears fluid and flows, rather than being linear or a mere list of events and feelings that defined an individual’s life. The perception of others in relation to how memories weigh on a person is considered in…

not only our collection of perceptions but also a material object, we may doubt that object, and such doubt is abhorrent to common sense. However, if we define the apple as nothing more than our perceptions, it is beyond doubt. The world does not exist on its own, Berkeley argued—only perceptions do. Being is nothing more than being perceived. Do objects come in and out of existence, as we perceive them? Not quite, God always sees all things; thanks only to his perception, objects…

Creativity does not come from others, it could not be teleported nor transmitted, it comes from the heart and soul, which consequently lead to communication. In order to communicate well, you need to learn how to socialize through face-to-face interaction.

Nonetheless, since the inauguration augmentation of technology, people have started to become dependent on it, thus…

he would rather have the ignorant bliss of the Matrix than experience true reality. It could be said that Cypher had similar thoughts to those of Descartes. If it is impossible to tell the difference between reality and the Matrix (by sensory perception) then how would Cypher even know which one to accept as real? Just like Descartes concluded, Cypher would not be able to know anything for sure beyond the fact that he exists. Cypher concludes that since there really is no difference between…
