What Tourism Gives to Ladakh? Ladakh is an interesting subject to study but its inaccessibility to us and sort of a disinterest for it among us Kashmiri students makes it a challenging and a daunting task to have a thorough research conducted on it. It was obviously not so easy for a research scholar like me to go for a study on Ladakh. Primary focus of research was tourism and impact of tourism on Ladakhi society. Ladakh proved to be a great subject for the research program due to its potential

Descartes’ Fourth Meditation: Account of Falsity and its Relation to Clear and Distinct Perception This paper will address how René Descartes‚ the “Father of Modern Philosophy”‚ explains the nature of falsity in an attempt to prove his claim that “everything that we clearly and distinctly perceive is true” (Descartes 11).

(pp.1) The First Meditation opens with Renee Descartes reflecting on all the things that he has been mistaken about‚ and all his beliefs that were built on those false ones. As a result‚ he somehow feels the need to reexamine everything he has believed in the past‚ and has set aside some time in front of the fireplace to do it.
