Common Ground...?COMMON GROUND Introduction This brief analysis is a comparison among three articles on the topic of urban sprawl, which technical is commonly defined by the authors of all three pieces as low density, non-contiguous growth outside cities. It appears that while the three agree on the definition and even the causes of sprawl, they disagree in large part on the nature of the effects of sprawl on the wildlife in the area affected by the sprawl. Overall, Shaw (2004) extols the favourable effects of sprawl, Terris (1999) argues for the negative effects, and Chen and Duany (2000) takes the pragmatic view in relation with the other dimensions of sprawl. Effects of urban sprawl: “Growing pains” The article by Chen and Duany...

Truth...Truth 'I am the Way, the Truth and the Life may be the standard answer one may expect from a priest when asked to define truth. Indeed, they may even go on to add that Jesus was truth personified and so we had the embodiment of truth walking on earth some 2,000 years ago requiring no definition or explanation.

Story-truth versus Happening-truth...Story-truth versus Happening-truth Tim O'Brien, in his book, The Things They Carried, describes two different kinds of truth, story-truth and happening-truth. He describes story-truth something that "makes things present" (O'Brien 180). He describes happening-truth as reality, as what actually happened. However, for O'Brien, story-truth is more true than happening-truth, for several reasons. While happening-truth may be what literally happened at war, the fighting, the death, the destruction; it loses everything that makes it human to describe war that way. Story-truth, on the other hand, allows the listener to be there, with the narrator in the present, and see how things were. Story-truth allows for the emotion of war... to be the...
