In class on Friday, my group and I discussed our answers to the various questions in the reading. We talked a lot about how we know things are essentially true. Mainly we said that books, authority figures, and even the media validate statements and make them true. We all agreed that subjects like math only have one "truth" or right answer that cannot be altered. However, we said that in many other areas, truth can be changed according to the situation and differing opinions.
I think the fact that truth can be discussed and that there are different answers to different questions in the world makes life interesting. Knowing that there could be another answer and another possibility causes life to stray off of the everyday, normal path.
I also think that these points can relate to my community, supporters of animal rights. Strict supporters of animal rights could think that the only truth is that no one should eat meat, wear fur, or etc. People that do not support animal rights could find that statement to be completely false and think that animals are meant for human use. It is all a matter of opinion. I am looking forward to hearing the opinions of others on this topic.
