Description:
Information is everywhere and there is a glut of opinions, news, and data on the internet when making a decision. Some of this information is accurate and is free of bias while other information exists just to manipulate you. This is an exercise in discernment. For this week’s discussion, you will select two (2) resources from the internet (i.e. CNN, Breitbart, Twitter, Truth Social, The Young Turks, MSNBC, RT, CNBC, Newsmax, or any Facebook channel to assess. Any “news” source is fair game. Try to see if you can find similar arguments made by organizations or resources on the opposite political spectrum if possible. Then do the following:
State one argument made by each resource you will assess. Then, using one or more methods from Chapter 6, assess the claims for truthfulness and logic. See if you can develop some counterexamples or whether you can use any information in the two sections on Engaging with the Argument to assess the claims. Try to have some fun with this.
Finally, give your opinion on the quality of the source and whether one should see each as credible or not to be trusted.

In around 500 words, select a passage from a philosophical text (such as Plato’s allegory of the cave, or Descartes’ Cogito argument), and answer the following questions: What is the point of this passage? Why did the author bother to include this passage in the selected text? What is the author trying to prove or argue? And how do they try to prove or argue the point?
Write a range of arguments for and against silly claims like “Stop Signs Should Say ‘Please'”, and “Art should be judged by size alone.” Evaluate what would be strong arguments for and against different claims, and explain any logical fallacies

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST IN 50 WORDS: Creating a fair and just socie
PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST IN 50 WORDS:
Creating a fair and just society is a formidable aspiration that involves ensuring equal opportunities, rights, and respect for all individuals. In such a society, everyone should have an equal chance at success, regardless of their background or circumstances at birth. A just society emphasizes equal treatment and opportunities. It means that everyone should have the same chances to thrive. Also, supporting the disadvantaged is crucial in a just society. Providing essential resources like healthcare, education, housing, and a safety net for those in need ensures that everyone has a fair chance to live a dignified life. Bridging the gap between privilege and disadvantage is essential to break the cycle of inequality. A just society upholds the rule of law and protects fundamental human rights for all its members. This ensures that laws are applied fairly, and that every individual’s rights are respected. Efforts toward a fairer world involve implementing more equitable policies, promoting education, and fostering inclusivity in communities
Taking its namesake from the famous ancient Greek gadfly, the Socratic method
Taking its namesake from the famous ancient Greek gadfly, the Socratic method involves teachers testing a student’s knowledge of a subject matter by asking challenging questions. For example, when Socrates wanted his student Theatetus to define “knowledge” he would ask him whether a tour guide who accidentally has true information about how to get to a certain destination actually knows the information, and why/why not? The answer is no, because he has no justification for his true opinion.
In this assignment, you are expected to generate five (5) challenging questions about chapter 6 and five (5) challenging questions about chapter 7 in On Romantic Love Brogaard (2015). Moreover, you will provide the answers to your own questions.

Utilitarianism
In this instance I am asking you to apply the theory, rather than criticize it. (I save the critique of the theory for my Ethics classes.)
What would be the reasonable options in the following scenario? Which would utility say is the best choice, spelling out the consequences to show why? Is the answer proposed by utilitarianism, the morally correct choice?
