Unit 1 Assessment One example that can be used to show where an individual passed of something untrue as true can be associated to Gerald Barnbaum also known as Gerald Barnes. Gerald Barnes is a former pharmacist and convicted felon who posed as a medical doctor between 1976-2000. Barnes held the post of chief physician at a well-known health clinic and seemed to many the very symbol of Hippocratic virtues. Though Barnes never attended any medical school and his only formal training is a bachelor’s in pharmacology which doesn’t make him a doctor. But Barnes has long been masked as a doctor. “In the late 1970's, according to court documents, after he legally changed his name from Gerald Barnbaum, he began impersonating an orthopedic surgeon …show more content…
from Stockton, Calif., named Gerald Barnes” (Noble). Dr. Barnes began a career that was stopped in 1981 with his plea to manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license. He was sentenced to three years in prison and after serving 18 months, was released on parole in 1983. “But then, the authorities say, he picked up where he had left off. Behind his smooth mask, they say, is a prodigiously talented con artist” (Noble). The claim the Gerald Barnbaum was not a really doctor started to arise as a result of negligence and the lack of medical knowledge of Type 1 diabetes when, John McKenzie, a patient of the really doctor Barnes, had died. McKenzie was a 29-year-old patient, who kept complaining of a dry mouth, dizziness, continuous thirst and quick weight loss which were all symptoms of diabetes. With no knowledge in the medicine Barnbaum gave McKenzie a drug from vertigo and sent him home. When McKenzie’s blood test came in a few days, which showed he had suffered from severe hyperglycemia, he was also found dead in his apartment. Through the use of inductive reasoning, the accident revealed Barnbaum as a fraud. Through reports and other means of media the real Dr. Barnes was an excellent doctor. "Everyone who had contact with him thought he was a remarkable individual and an excellent physician," said Paul W. Frankel, a medical doctor who is president of the Life Extension Institute. Since a real doctor would know what drugs to give a patient which would not harm them, officials charged Barnbaum of identity theft and later, manslaughter. Our ability to know something with a high degree of confidence matters because without having an ability to know something a high degree of confidence any individual can just say that this piece of knowledge is true or real even though the entire statement may be bogus and we as an individual that are gaining this knowledge and categorizing this information as true or real without any raw evidence.
As seen in Gerald Barnbaum’s case, he became a fake doctor and tried to pass it of as true and may people assumed that he was a certified doctor without proper evidence of his medical license. One can use one or more different ways of knowing to assess whether or not something is true or false as well as the use of the four different types of truth test. The way of knowing that is used to help figure out the Barnbaum was an imposter was the use of inductive …show more content…
reasoning. The principles about the importance of knowledge and truth applied in many situations in the real world like the Donald Trump article that we read in class.
Between August 10th – 12th presidential nominee, Donald Trump made claims that President Obama was responsible for the existence of ISIS and was the founder, which is not true Besides the words of Donald Trump, there is no other evidence supporting the ideal that President Obama is the direct founder of ISIS. Also if President Obama was the founder he would have been impeached from office and there would have been terrible consequence for him. The truth test here is truth by pragmatism because Trump wants to believe that is true and he wants other people to believe in his ideals are true. One way of knowing used were reason because the United States would never allow the head of a terrorist group to become the president. Also, as previously mentioned, there is no evidence supporting Trump’s claim. The evidence only shows that some of Obama’s policies may have caused ISIS. Based on the previous actions and decisions of Obama, he appears to be a pacifist and wants to achieve peace diplomatically. Later, Trump said that his claim about Obama being the founder of ISIS was sarcasm cannot be true or justified because We have heard the interviews where Trump had said that he believes Obama founded ISIS. The way he was talking, he was getting a bit emotional, and you could tell that he meant it. He even stated Obama’s full name
when stating his claim. Through the use of reason, memory, and intuition we have noticed that Trump has been talking a lot of hate about Clinton and Obama more than he has been talking about what he will do to “make America great again”. He has been very vague and rude to others. In interviews, Trump does not always show courtesy to the interviewers. He occasionally interrupts them. In the interviews with Trump’s claim, he continually emphasized that Obama directly founded ISIS, rather than saying Obama’s policy caused ISIS’ creation or that Obama left a void of power that ISIS filled in. Based off these facts, we can reason Trump was not being sarcastic, and our intuition is telling us the same thing as well. Finally, on August 12th, Trump claimed he was being sarcastic but not that sarcastic. As previously mentioned, Trump had continually emphasized Obama and Clinton’s “direct” involvement in founding ISIS. From the interviews, you could tell he actually meant what he said because of his tone and attitude. Like the previous question, the use of reason, memory, and intuition was used determine this. Trump had interrupted and corrected interviewers when the interviewers said that Trump meant Obama left a void of power or that Obama’s policies caused ISIS. Trump corrected them by affirming Obama founded ISIS, not his policies. Trump is also known for later contradicting statements he had previously said. Based on our previous memories of Trump’s actions, our intuition tells us that Trump actually meant what he said.
“A good liar uses the truth.” This is a technique used by notorious imposters Frederic Bourdin, and Frank Abagnale. Although Bourdin posed as a child for a second chance at adolescence, Abagnale posed as an adult to gain financial means and respect. Bourdin and Abagnale’s success in deception can be primarily attributed to their careful observation of their surroundings, as well as their ability to detect the emotions of those around them.

Media. The main means of mass communication regarded collectively. It comes in the form of t.v., radio, newspapers, magazines etc. The media has a way of portraying a story in a way that they want it to be seen by audiences. In other words, the media only tells us only what they want us to hear; which, may or may not be the truth or include the entire story. The media is always looking for the next best story and the competition to be the first one on the scene can be intense. A documentary by 9.14 Productions tells the story of a man and his art collection; The Barnes Foundation.
“How awful it is for that person which suffers this great wrath and infinite misery!”(Edwards 89-90). This is the best example of Edwards doing what he does best in his sermons; using literary devices to scare people. Why would anyone do this? Well, he uses fear for persuasion. How he does this is carefully and delicately layered in his words. Edwards uses loaded language, vivid imagery, and specific types of sentences in order to scare his audience into becoming better Puritans.

Further , it was also due to a small truth that would cover a big lie. An instance, is that a woman could say that a muffin looks pretty. These lies women tell could be risky ´, but they are used in order to not hurt the person who is receiving the lie. This was also noticed in Meyer's ted talk when she mentioned when there were two patterns of deceptions. The first one was an interview that was conducted with Bill clinton . The tell tales of his interview showed that he used a non contacted denial and a distanced language. The second deception is that liars are known to freeze their upper
