Suggested time—40 minutes.
Consider the distinct perspectives
expressed in the following statements.
If you develop the absolute sense of
certainty that powerful beliefs provide, then you can get yourself to
accomplish virtually anything, including those things that other people are
certain are impossible.
William Lyon Phelps, American educator,
journalist, and professor (1865–1943)
I think we ought always to entertain our
opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to
believe any philosophy, not even mine.
Bertrand Russell, British author,
mathematician, and philosopher (1872–1970)
In a well-organized essay, take a position
on the relationship between certainty and doubt. Support your argument with
appropriate evidence and examples.
