Justification

Plato believed that there are 4 ways to Justify:

A) Empiricism
B) Reason (Both Inductive and Deductive)
C) Authority
D) Memory

Questions:

1. After learning about how the Bosnian War began and the role ofKaradzic and Milosovic, was it fair for the Independent to use the word "Monster".
Yes due to Karadzic and Milosivic slaughtered all those people in order to "cleans" the country of Yugoslavia.

2. How do you think this phrase would be justified, according to Plato? Use specific examples from the reading and the documentary, The Death of Yugoslavia, to justify your claims.
The calling of them as being "Monsters" is justified through Empirical Reasoning skills because we clearly saw the video of his in Yugoslavia talking to the nationalist and defending them. Unless the movie was created with digital effects than there is a good chance that it is valid source of knowledge.

3. When the term Monster is used, what do you think it means. (You can look it up in the dictionary, but as you know, that has limitations).
A destructive object, either a person or object, that soul person is to cause harm. My definition.

It will be important to skim both articles again, in light of what you now know.

4. Has your answer changed since your first entry? Why or why not?
No because the evidence produced not only backs up what I believed before but it emphases what was already previously mentioned.

    Please, 20 min. needed for each blog. Always consider, why should I believe you? Please use specific quotes or scenes from the documentary to justify your claims.
