Truth as Subjective and Bias...

What is truth and how is it uncovered?

Ideas deemed "fact" or "truth" are subject to interpretation. What one might identify as true, might not be the case for another. Factors that might contribute to disparate beliefs are, likely, closely associated with political beliefs, social class, gender, religious affiliation, and ethnic background (among others).

During one's quest to uncover "truth," we are charged with the obligation to sift through information and gather sufficient evidence to support that which is labeled as "truth." Uncovering "truth" is a painstaking process. Truth is perceived as subjective and bias in nature.
