Answer:

C. There is no eternal truth, truth is created by history, and much of what we consider true is considered so because the world around us treats it that way.

Explanation:

Williams James, an American who was widely known for his philosophical and psychological works.

In his "Pragmatism's Conception of Truth", alludes to the idea that many of the things we hold to be truths are in fact only true-by-convention.

This implies that " there is no eternal truth, truth is created by history, and much of what we consider true is considered so because the world around us treats it that way."

This is evident when he claimed that "Truth, as any dictionary will tell you, is a property of certain of our ideas. It means their 'agreement', as falsity means their disagreement, with 'reality'."

The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.

How have political activities shaped South Africa?
dsp73
The South African referendum of 1992 was held on 17 March 1992 in South Africa. In it, white South Africans were asked to vote in the country's last whites-only referendum to determine whether or not they supported the negotiated reforms begun by State President F.W. de Klerk two years earlier. The result of the election was a large victory for the "yes" side. 

This political intervention lead to the democratic elections held in 1994 and the inauguration of the first democratically elected President of SA, Nelson Mandela.....think that this was significant in SA history.
