Carr's Argument Analysis

In Kyle Wein’s article, he explains why he doesn’t believe people with poor grammar shouldn’t be hired. I agree with Wein’s statement because everyone was taught basic grammar, it represents you when text is the only form of communication, and it also gives a first impression when handing in the resume. Firstly, everyone was taught basic grammar in school. To say that a certain applicant wasn’t able to learn the difference between its and it’s and another was, shows that the other applicant will be able to do much better remembering and performing tasks in the job correctly.

That on October 02, 2015 I, CPL Lessane, was in the process of arresting the subject, Don Sharp., Don Sharp resisted the arrest, by attempting to shut the front door in Deputies face. Deputies then immediately gain entry inside the residence and attempted to place the subject under arrest. The subject then resisted by running in the living room swinging his arms in an up and down, side to side motion while swinging his arms towards Law Enforcement. Deputies did tased the subject to gain control of the subject. This incident did occur in Hampton County and is a violation of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

An Arizona Rep. named Matt Salmon made what seemed like an ordinary visit to a local elementary school to explain to the kids how a bill becomes a law, when a couple of comments got him in some trouble with parents. Salmon made comments about Iran's nuclear deal and young suicide bombers to a bunch of second- and third-grade students at San Tan Charter School. While the comments were cut short by both the principle and a teacher, it didn't change the effect it had one some kids. The principle sent out an email to the forty-five students who attended the session and encouraged upset families to reach out to the office. So far, three families have done just that. To correct his mistake, he not only personally called a few of the upset parents

For one thing, Google, like the railroad in its time, is an important part of how people interact with each other today. People use Google to digitally meet with others, communicate, and even sell things. Multiple people are affected by Google each day. 87% of people have claimed to use the internet in 2016 (Anderson). To add onto this the number of people who don’t use the internet has been decreasing since 2000.

I’m pretty sure Craig Spencer felt the exact same way when he ate at a public restaurant, rode the subway, and went bowling in Brooklyn and look where that has gotten him. Troops who are returning from West Africa are being quarantined just like the astronauts of Apollo 11 were quarantined and no one thinks or thought any less of them for doing so. I believe that it is more heroic of them to have taken the necessary precautions to protect even more people than they already have rather than to just puff out their chests and say they’re invincible. In an article called “Ebola-Quarantine Objections are Frivolous,” Law Professor Eugene Kontorovich elaborated on the fact that courts have continuously advocated for quarantines for infectious diseases like tuberculosis and smallpox.

In the fourth chapter, “Fouling Our Own Nests,” of Unquenchable: America’s Water Crisis and What to do About It, Robert Glennon discusses the dangers of water contamination that plague many parts of the United States. His main claim that water pollution requires the help of the entire population stems from an unmentioned warrant: contaminating the national water supply with chemicals from individual communities and industries is detrimental to American society. In order to strengthen his argument, Glennon showcases the impacts of local contamination issues on larger populations and utilizes quantitatively intimidating statistics to solidify his position and inspire his readers to fight for better water regulation.

On December 2000, the Carr brothers committed a series of crimes which included the brutal rapping, robbery, kidnaping, and shooting of five young men and women. After a joint sentencing proceeding, a Kansas jury sentenced Reginald and Jonathan Carr to death. On appeal, the Carrs argued that their Eighth Amendment right to an individualized sentencing was violated both by the trial judge’s refusal to separate their cases and the failure to instruct the jury that” mitigating circumstances need not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt”. The Kansas Supreme Court agreed and called off the death sentences by holding that the trial judge failed to do the necessary analysis on the issue. The court also held that the jurors may have been prevented from

Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.

I agree with Nicholas Carr's theory, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" Carr argues that search engines, blogs, hyperlinks, etc. dump more information that one can possibly read. I agree with that, and I think

I believe that the father made a stronger argument than Libby's argument because he is trying to teach Libby that failure is a part of life, while Libby's argument is that her father school do her school project so she could play in the All-State Championships. The father stated that learning how to cope with failure now will help her in the future more than playing in the championships ever could. Secondly, the father understands how Libby feels because when he was 15 he wanted to be student body president, he spends his allowance on signs and pulled all-nighters writing speeches. He lost by a landslide, but it taught him that he could recover from failure, it gave him the confidence to push himself as well as to try new things. Thirdly,

Coates's argument is to pay back those who were affected by discrimination. Although his argument is valid it will not do much. That is why the US should create more government funded programs that will serve low-income individuals and individuals in poverty. There are a number of known programs like SNAP and habitat for humanities. Creating programs to help low-income families would be more effective. The government programs that are funded are not just for African Americans as some might think. It is open to all. Creating programs like habitat for humanities would make a difference. Although some are not in favor of the programs we can fix this by taxing the rich and corporations more than usual. This would provide a more even amount of funding

According to Webster Dictionary, Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. How is that someone can even study reality or existence, doesn’t that just make it opinion or perception. Understanding a point being made by a philosopher is taking a trip through their brain, which sometimes can be scary and other times be fascinating. Making sense of their nonsense sense is tricky; identifying their argument, even trickier. Avital Ronell said it best in Examined Life, “Philosophy is like a parallel universe or a rival team that also comes up with all of this prescribed bullshit; it’s very will to power.” (Taylor)

Both letter to the editor and editorial staff offer position that are supported by both facts and opinions. The letter explores to urges the new reusable bag ordinance while the editorial staff argues that they are serious about making Proposition 328 mandatory in every store. While both side make an acceptable case, it is clear that the letter provides a better argument.

One of Carr’s main points is that the internet is actually bad for society as a whole because constantly using the internet will lead to a dumber society. This is just a way for Carr to say that someone who uses the internet is not as smart as someone who uses it less often. He later states that humans are losing some of their cognitive thinking abilities making us act more robotic and if everyone will eventually become this way if we keep using the internet. This idea is used to scare people into stop using the internet and is an effective method for Carr to get his point across. Another way he scares people is he mentions a future where kids don’t read in class but will instead watch videos and won’t know how to spell due to spellcheck and this will lead to a decline in our education system.

Carr discusses the effects that the Internet has on our minds and the way we think, as well as the way media has changed. Our minds no longer focus. When in conversation with people we are constantly distracted by the technological advances our era has brought. Text messages, emails, pop culture drama has all taken
