One could argue that warrant can be granted under these conditions as it appeals intuitively as something that is plausible, since it is often the case that one does not remember how one came to form many of their beliefs, externalists accept this inevitable phenomenon. On the other hand, internalism, more specifically access internalism, would render the belief unwarranted in most cases. This paper will explore these notions further by considering both the internalist and externalist conception of justification.

The subject of abortion is a complex moral and ethical issue for most people. For the disability movement, their concern lies in the use of pre-natal screening programs and the availability of selective abortions of disabled foetuses. Several writers on the topic suggest these practises endorse anti–disability eugenics. Conversely, feminist activists emphasise the right of a women to terminate a pregnancy, with little regard to the grounds in which the woman makes her decision.

How do we participate in politics? Are young people being left behind? These are the questions asked and explored within this qualitative research study. Through use of qualitative in-depth interviews, I can present an insightful snapshot into the musings of the participants - cohorts of the millennial generation.
