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'."

Drag the characteristic into the correct column in the table to show whether it is associated with the White Army or the Red Arm
Salsk061 [2.6K]

<u>White Army: </u>

1. This army received support from the west.

The White Army was made up of generally anti-communist groups, which was the beliefs of the Western-world, leading to the eventual support. However, with corruption plaguing the white government(s), these support was not put into good use.

3. Some of the people in the army wanted a democracy.

Remember, the groups in the white army are just anti-communist. Their individual ideals of what form of government they want is completely different, as some groups may want to reinstate the royal family, others want a direct democracy or even indirect democracy, and others.

6. This army was made up of a variety of different interests.

This point piggy-backs off the 3rd choice.

<u>Red Army: </u>

2. Leon Trotsky led this army.

Leon Trotsky was a early leader in the Russian Communist Political Party, which led to his major influence in leading any actions that the Party takes.

4. This army crushed all its oppositions.

Without the white armies actually uniting, the Red army was able to unify more structurally and take out each individual white army.

5. This army achieved power and victory in Russia.

As seen in the history of Russia, after the war between the Red & White Armies, Russia became known as the U.S.S.R, under the communist regime.
