FINDING TRUTH AND FACTS ABOUT EVENTS 2
Finding truth and facts about events.
Abdullah Alymani
“The film All the President’s Men and Greenstein’s article on direct and circumstantial evidence is a film which has been produced to inform the public on how human beings are finding the meaning and facts as well as the truth about the events. This is promoted, through various activities carried out in the film. These activities include, the police are seen to be called to arrest people, who later provide the necessary information to the police, secondly, a new reporter is given position, where he has a duty, to cover a particular story that is believed to be minor event . , the whole incident shows security personnel who are on toes to get real meaning and information on the different issues taking place.
Most of the scenes in this article are always going for the suggestion of finding the truth in the events. The first scene seems to be very influential since it provides the basis for the investigation that is being carried out. It is in this scene where we get introduced to the importance and the essentials of investigations of the incidents. The third chapter shows a deep concern on how best we can use our available resources to get information. Lastly, the fourth scene is best since it shows on how successful a person can get information from other sources. The effect is seen in large and hence showing that the human brain should be utilized to get information.
The main ideas Greenstein uses in his article are the evaluation of the word facts . This is emphasized by the use of rhetoric questions, where he asks, what are facts? The second argument is that, through the contrasting of circumstantial evidence that is believed to provide some clues .
The film has an excellent support to the use of knowledge to getting information. A person is found to find the truth and meaning of incidences from events. The more a person gets exposed to an impact, the more information he gets.
This is a very good virtue since it helps in determining the future as well as making proper arrangements .
�I understand that this essay is still in draft form, but please remember that your essa y must also comply with the following requirements:
“Your 750 to 1,000-word essay (three-four pages) should meet each of the following content and format requirements:
Create a thesis that focuses your essay, supported by well-organized paragraphs and a well-reasoned conclusion
Include at least four short quotations from the assigned readings to support the reasoning in your essay
Document all primary and secondary sources according to the Modern Language Association (MLA) or American Psychological Association (APA) method of documentation with parenthetical citations everywhere you quote, paraphrase, or summarize
You may use the Weiss article in your discussion of Nietzsche’s ideas, but you must cite the article according to the foregoing rules.

Be word-processed, double-spaced, in 12 point font with no more than one inch margins all around, and be free of spelling and grammatical errors
�Please remember to include an introductory paragraph for your essay. Your paragraph should contain a thesis statement, which you write based upon the writing prompt, telling the reader what you intend to discuss and demonstrate in your essay.
�It is my opinion that no one is the government is able to obtain information about the conspiracy except for the reporters and the newspapers who investigate.
�Do you mean to say “this film”?
�Do you mean to say “scene”?
�Your discussion of Greenstein should be much more specific.
�Because the writing prompt is structured with the following directions, and in the following order, you probably should structure your essay discussion in the same order:
“Assume that you must rewrite Greenstein’s article, using three or four scenes from the film All The President’s Men to illustrate Greenstein’s main idea.
Which film scenes would you use?
What is the conclusion Greenstein should draw from those film scenes about gathering and assessing evidence?”
In other words, I would spend the first “body” paragraph of your paper discussing Greenstein’s main ideas, using quotations from his article, and then structure your discussion of the film scenes around those ideas..
�This paragraph speaks in generalities rather than in showing the reader how to relate Greenstein’s ideas to the film.
