//**Truth In Making Decisions  Click Here to take survey

So far in my research, I have discovered that there is not really any real facts from scientists or philosophers on why human kind makes the decisions they do based on truth. I realized that most of it is your own opinion. During the research time I have had, I have come up with the conclusion that humans make decisions based on how much pressure is on them for making the right decision, the consequences that come from the decision, and of course, from what they really believe is true. The easiest and most understandable way to share my research to the class is most likely asking them real life situations and what their decision would be if they had to make one. By doing this, the class will be able to understand how each individual makes their won decision based on what they believe is true. One question that I have that hopefully someone could answer is, based on your personality and beliefs, how do you make the right decisions based on truth?**//


 * What is Truth?**


 * Mythology take you through a journey full of adventure, anticipation, and how things came to be. But what really is the truth in mythology? Two major gods/goddesses that show truth in their stories are Poseidon and Demeter. Poseidon, the feirce God of the Sea was known for causing the seas and oceans all around the world to be salty. When his brother, Zeus, became king of the world, Poiesdon vied with Athena to be patron deity of Athens. To show his power, Poseidon plunged his three-pronged trident into Acropolis, an ancient city, which caused a spring of salt water to emerge. This myth shows how the seas and oceans came to be salty. As for Demeter, the Goddess of Harvest and Seasons, she also shows truth in mythology. When her daughter, Persephone, is kidnapped by the Ruler of the Underworld, Hades, Demeter becomes very upset and makes a deal with him. It was agreed that Persephone could come back up to the Earth six months of the year, but then have to stay in the Underworld the remaining six months. When Persephone is able to come back up, Demeter is happy wich makes the weather warmer, and the crops are able to grow which is explained as spring and summer. When those six months expire, Persephone has to return to the Underworld. This is when the climate turns cold, and the crops start to fade and die away. This is what causes fall and winter. This myth explains how the seasons of the year came to be. People can perceive myths in their own different ideas and pick out for themselves what they think is true or not, but I beleive these myths show the truth in mythology.**

What is Truth in Fear?

Imagine. One day you are being forced onto an island by a plane crash while stranded with only boys your age and no parents. Sure, that does sound like fun, but also it would bring fear to all the minds of the boys. In The Lord Of The Flies, William Golding is able to throw different types of fears at the boys, and writing about the ways they react and deal with this fear. William Golding does a great job of expressing the different ways human nature deals with fear. Some of the ways the boys deal with fear, which symbolize the way human nature deals with fear, is by denying their fears and becoming violent. The biggest fear that the boys faced was when "the beast" was first brought up by one of the younger boys. At first, the idea of "the beast" seemed unrealistic but as time passed, and more boys encountered the beast, the more it was brought up. When the beast was first talked about, many of the boys such as Ralph and Jack denied that there could ever be a beast. Even though they might have believed that the beast was really out lurking somewhere in the mysterious tropical jungle that surrounded the boys, they refused to express to the rest of the tribe that the beast really did exist. Another way the boys dealt with their fear of the beast was becoming violent. The beast brought so much controversy to the island that the boys were forced to split into two separate groups, or tribes, that ruled different sides of the island. The savages, or Jack's group, was set on capturing the beast, and soon had an over-powering obsession forced onto them that made them want to hunt for meat and the beast almost every minute of the day. Because of this obsession, the savages finally rested on trying to hunt down and kill Ralph, the leader of the second group. There are many kinds of fear that are expressed in __The Lord Of The Flies__, but these types really show how the boys were able to deal with their fear throughout the book and show the reader the human nature of fear.

//What is Truth in Dreams?

Most people think of dreams as just the images you see in your head when you fall into a deep sleep at night, but to me, dreams are what you thrive for, they are your inspirations and aspirations. To be able to get the full feeling of having a dream, a person must first understand inspirations, how inspirations turn into aspirations, and how aspirations and dreams are related. In Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie become inspired to start a new life by purchasing their idyllic farm after their old life is threatened after being suspected of rape. But to earn this money for their farm, first George and Lennie must obtain a back-breaking job at a ranch. By working at this ranch, their inspiration turns into an aspiration. George and Lennie become motivated to take their inspiration to a higher level, and begin to put their plan into action. Along the way George and Lennie learn a couple of lessons from the other men and dream up how their farm will look. As soon as their aspirations are fulfilled, they turn into their dreams. George learns that even though they have not been working at the ranch for long, Candy has offered to pay for their farm if he is able to stay there with George and Lennie. Their dream to buy the farm is in grabbing distance and George and Lennie can't stand not being able to live their right this moment. As you can see, dreams aren't just the things you see in your head during your sleep, they have a denser definition then that, dreams are your inspirations and aspirations.//
