Truth table of Disjunction

Disjunction of two statements combined with logical conjunctions 'or'. Compound statement "Burhan is a doctor or a cadre of the Golkar Party" is a disjunction (or inclusive) with the symbolic presentation:

p: Burhan a doctor
q: Burhan Golkar Party cadres
pvq: Burhan a doctor or a cadre of the Golkar Party.

Despite the fact that a doctor is not Burhan Golkar Party cadres, disjunction pvq above remain true. Disjunction is true if there are at least one constituent that statement is true. Disjunction of one if the truth value of each constituent wrong.

p q pvq
B B B
B S B
S B B
S S S
