My Facebook friend, Jamie OBrien sums up just about virtually all of the philosophical and methodological details that has its shares of flaws in it, and that we ought to question them and not have knee-jerk blind-faith in our worldly metaphysical thinking. And theyre about six definitions Ill give forth to the table: Taboo->this is a vehement prohibition of an action phenomenon based on the belief that such behavior is either too sacred or too accursed for ordinary people to undertake, under threat of supernatural punishment. Such prohibitions are present in nearly all societies around the world. The term comes from the Tongan tapu or Fijian related to Maori-tapu, etc. Propaganda->Is a form of communication(s) aimed towards influencing the attitude of a population toward some causes or position. Propaganda is information thats not impartial and used primarily to influence an audience and enhances an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or using loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational responses informated interpreted. Truth->This is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original to a standard or ideal. The commonly understood opposite of truth/fact is falsehoods, which correspondingly can also take on a logical factual or ethical meaning. Postmodernism->This is a methodological movement that started its evolution in the mid-20th century after WWII in the arts, architecture and criticism that was a departure antithetical to modernism. Postmodernism includes skeptical interpretations of culture, literature, arts, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, fiction and literary critique. left wing->are political philosophical positions or activities that accept or support social equality, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality. Its typically justified on the basis of concern for those in society whore perceived as disadvantaged relative to others an assumption that theyre unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished. right wing->are political philosophical positions or activities that new some of social hierarchies or social inequality as either inevitable, natural, normal or desirable typically justifying this position on the basis of natural law, tradition or the status-quo. With right wing spectrum, views differ on whether hierarchy and inequality stem from traditional social differences or from competition in market economics!
