I choose to look at the philosophy of truth. In my slide show I used two pictures from New England sports moments and two pictures from other real world realities. I wanted to show sports as an ultimate form of truth. In sports like football and baseball, by the end of the game there is an absolute winner. There is not a question of who won a game because it can be easily measured in the score. The doesn’t mean the best team won however, it just means that on that day one team won and one team lost. No one can argue against that reality. The other two pictures are of icebergs in Antarctica and the New York Stock Exchange. Both of them are faced with much debate about how real they both are. Many believe that global warming is a planet threatening issue and other think it is not the emergency many assume it to be. The stock market is controversial especially in the last 6 months or so with the economic downturn. Many think the capitalist fundamentals this country is run on are faulty and not true, while other believe it is a source of innovation and competition.
Truth to me is very individual in the sense that what one may think is true, another may find to be non-sense. Some things, like sports, may be more concrete and absolute when it comes to judgments of truth. Other things are seen from numerous sides, which makes finding an absolute truth or judgment almost impossible.
What is most important about truth is thinking for ones self. When an individual thinks for him or herself and is free to make decisions then there judgment and results are true to them. Being true to yourself is what truth really is.
