Statement 1: People don't really have a freewill because whatever we do, our ending
through the eyes of God is already determined.

Best Method: Dialectic

Finding the truth in this statement may be accomplished using the dialectic technique, as both
sides are offered, allowing us to determine which side is more agreeable. In this method, we get
to examine different perspectives from a range of facts or experiences. Because not everyone
believes in God or destiny, we get to hear all viewpoints and arguments and then we come to a
conclusion or decide for ourselves which is our own truth about this concept.

Process :

Prima Facie

To ensure that both sides will be heard in this discussion, we must ensure that there is a
proposition and an opposition to the statement when using the dialectic technique. This assertion
that God has already predetermined our future and our fate in life seems to be an open invitation
to various conversations regarding abstract ideas like God. We anticipate that some people will
strongly disagree with this assertion. The "Prima Facie," or first impression, sets the tone for the
dialogue. Here, each party will explain how they interpret the claim and how they intend to
respond to the query.

Proposition Opposition

We may have freewill as there is no such
thing as destiny, or there may be a possibility
that there is one and our lives are already
planned by God. To get to the truth about this,
we need to hear from all perspectives. The
side that believes in fate may argue that every
step in our lives is pre-planned, and that
Individuals who believe in free will, on the
other hand, think that there is no such thing as
a "plan" and that we cannot foretell what will
happen in the future. For them, whatever
happens in life is solely decided by our own
actions. We have the flexibility to accomplish
things in our life since they are ours, and there
 specific conditions must exist in order for us is no "plan" for it because we must create our
to achieve our purpose. They think that the own purpose.
people we encounter and the experiences we
have have a function for our learning. For
them, no matter whatever road we select,
whether it is contrary to our principles or
wants, it will invariably be "correct"
according to the predetermined plan.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, there is the potential of destiny, but it is more reasonable to believe that everything
that happens in our lives is the outcome of the actions that we take. The decisions and actions we
conduct are not planned by any supreme being, and we are alone responsible for what occurs in
our life. There is likewise no logical proof for such a thing as fate, therefore we cannot prove it
as the "truth," but since there is no truth about it, we cannot be certain that it does not exist as
well.

Statement 2: I want to know whether vinegar can really be used as a natural cleanser for
clothes and fruits.

Best Method: Systematic Doubt

This statement has already established the fact that there is an idea that vinegar can be used as a
natural cleanser for clothes and fruits. It is now only asking if this idea really is true and
effective, hence the use of Systematic doubt. The statement is exhibiting skepticism, and wants
to find an absolute truth to it which is how we make use of systematic doubt.

Process:

1. Classification: Categorize the Type of Knowledge

Question: Can vinegar really get rid of dirt and bacteria?

Answer: Because of its acidic nature and antibacterial properties, vinegar can be used to
dissolve, get rid of dirt, and bacteria. It is also a much safer alternative for cleaning, because it is
natural.

Question: How does vinegar cleanse clothes?

Answer: Vinegar works by loosening zinc salts or aluminum chloride. This means that no dirt or
bacteria will stick to clothes, and it can also help to eliminate odors.
 2. Concept Reality v Abstract Reality

The knowledge that vinegar can be used as a cleaning substance is a Concept reality because we
can physically experience and see the evidence of how it cleanses clothes, and other objects. We
know that there is scientific proof of it, because the main ingredient for it is acetic acid which is a
widely used cleaner.

3. Hyperbolic doubt

Vinegar can be used as an everyday cleaning product for stains in clothes and rust in certain
items. But in terms of fruits, or food in general, vinegar is mostly used for preservation or
pickling. However, it can still be used as a cleaner for fruits and vegetables to remove pesticides.

4. Conclusion / Truth

We have learned that vinegar is an effective natural cleanser for clothes, as numerous households
rely on this method. But since vinegar being a fruit cleaner is not as widely known or used as
much as it is for clothes, it still also is an effective cleanser, especially when mixed with a certain
amount of water. The better known fact about fruits and vinegar is that it can be used to preserve
the fruits. But in all, the answer we’ve reached is that yes, vinegar can really be used as a
cleanser for clothes and fruits.
