Rachel's Argument Analysis

The complainant, Cindy Sproull, indicated the smoking and loitering behavior began on her street as early as 9 am. As such, I decided to be at her home at 9 am to witness the student’s actions, as well as discuss the complaint with her and receive a first person account of the problem. When I discussed my strategy with Assistant Chief Vaughan – which included obtaining a first-hand account of the issue, confronting possible offenders, and discussing proposed solutions with the Sproulls – she elected to join me. Prior to leaving for Frey Lake Rd, I spoke with Deputy Chief Stevens who told me he was informed of this complaint by Sgt. Massengill yesterday and although he could not remember specifics, he did remember her mentioning CPC Foust

The Quinnipiac University poll was done during early September to test the waters before the first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump. The sample size was roughly 960, supposedly voters from across the nation with a margin of error of +- 3.2 which isn’t horrible. The numbers look fine and because it was a nationwide poll, the possibility of getting a fair and accurate cross section of views is fairly high, that being said there are a few issues with this poll that cause me to be concerned with the accuracy of this poll for many reasons.

Jessie Little Doe Baird is an incredible linguist whose groundbreaking work at MIT helped to bring back the said to be death language of the Wampanoag indians of Massachusetts. She is working to bring the language more into the light and the ancient culture as well by teaching classes, creating programs, and even a dictionary for the words of the language. This work can help us to understand an article previously discussed in class by James clifford, on the Mashpee indian tribe. This article was about the disagreement over whether or not the Mashpee indians were considered to be an official tribe. They had been told that since they had been so integrated into modern society, by marriage, migration, language, and religion, that they no longer held a tribal culture nor legal tribal status. The proclaimed Mashpee tribe attempted to fight this, with arguments that their land was stipped from them in the past and that their culture was still alive. In the end, the verdict was that since the Mashpee had lost their tribal status years ago, they could no longer be considered a tribe.

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

Part three seems to underuse the subject chosen, but in this part, there will be a shift of focus, it is primarily given to the method the article uses, as well as the concept of scientism.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a suffragist, an abolitionist, an activist, and a leader in the women’s rights movement (Biography 2). During the Civil War, Elizabeth strived to end slavery, but after the war, she concentrated on women’s rights, especially the women’s right to vote. She was an excellent writer, and she used this skill to write the “Declaration of Sentiments,” which proposed giving women the right to vote (Elizabeth 2). “Stanton was the president of the National Woman Suffrage Association for several years with the help of her fellow colleague, Susan B. Anthony.” (Elizabeth 2) This essay will present information on the life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the many achievements she has made to give women equal rights.

Katherine Cross is a strong believer that the game Pokémon Go, that was the most popular game to hit the web recently needs some sort of boundaries that the users must obey by. She definitely gains credibility by bringing in some quotes from different authors. She supports her argument that less developed areas do not have the same luxuries for this game as the more fortunate areas by citing other authors like Christopher Huffaker who said in his article that “black neighborhoods and rural areas have fewer Pokémon Go locations” (Huffaker). Bringing inequality as an issue in her article that is going to cause an argument for society. She is going to gain a lot of support on her argument because people in those areas can argue that even though they aren’t as wealthy as other places in society, they should still get the same benefits to this game as everyone else. Katherine does a good job at arguing both sides of the

I will first go on to state each opponent’s strongest argument and then I will go on to discuss who I feel won the debate putting aside my personal beliefs on the topic. First I think Kayla’s strongest argument was that physician-assisted suicide gives patients the opportunity to ease their mind. She provided solid evidence by disclosing the touching stories of both her father and the 26 year old patient she works with during summer in her local community. Both of the men testified that if they had the choice between death and life hey choose death to ease the pain. This went against Adam’s argument that the current system in place already provides patients with pain management. This is an example of an emotional appeals augment, which engages

Without Elizabeth Cady Stanton women wouldn’t have the same rights as men would. They would still be the same way until another woman tries to do something about it. She is remembered by her great success in getting women the right to vote, learn, get a job, etc. People have written info about what Elizabeth did to make women as equal as men. And people have written different interpretations of what she did so which one is better.

Nicholas Carr Claimed that the internet affects our information processing. Carr backed up his argument by speaking with a wide array of educated and reputable people like friends, colleagues, a blogger, GMU and a professor making his argument validity greater. Carr admits that he and his friends also; have the same problem by saying that he was appealing to emotions by using Ethos.

Forty-one-year-old Oregon medical marijuana patient Kristie Groce of Portland is no stranger to adversity. Kristie has suffered immeasurably with numerous medical illnesses and injuries over the years. She had even been written off as terminal and placed on hospice care at one point. Despite the mortal diagnosis, Kristie is now thriving in ways she had never dared to dream of due, in her mind, to the healing properties of cannabis. Cannabis has not only given Kristie her life back, but now she has learned she is creating a new life, something she was told would never happen.

A strong written argument is supported by several methods that are used to legitimize the author’s position as well as to discredit any counterargument brought forth. The techniques include introducing a counterargument and weakening it’s position with evidence. Providing legitimate academic research such as statistics as well as anecdotes from scholars on the given subject can reinforce the author’s argument. Another important method used is requiring the reader to critically think about a subject brought forth by challenging their preconceived ideas about a topic. This may also include using hidden assumptions that use implicit statements which have a certain opinion such as “If I follow the rules, good things will happen”, this is common

Alicia’s survival during the Holocaust depended on her ability to prevent her emotions and age from restraining her. For instance, when her mother was shot by the Schutzstaffel, Alicia “wished at that moment to be dead by her [mother’s] side. But somehow [Alicia’s] legs carried [her] away” (Appleman-Jurman 221). Alicia’s body acted independently of her mind, revealing that her spirits do not have the power to influence her physical body. Because eyes are frequently associated with one’s soul and spirits, not including eyes in the figure represents the lack of power the spirits have. Thus, the empty eye sockets represent Alicia’s refusal to allow her emotions to influence her decisions. Furthermore, when the head of Brecha, the group that smuggles

In Dolly’s argument, she suggests three things; the skeptic’s argument (there is no way of knowing whether what you do has good or bad effects on the “real” world) is liberating, under the condition of accepting the skeptic’s argument, it does not matter what she does, and finally, because of the skeptic’s argument, she could just give into any whim without feeling guilty. In my opinion, Dolly’s argument has one premise and three conclusions. Dolly’s premise is that we have no way of knowing whether what we do has good or bad effects in the real world. Her conclusions, which are conditional of the premise being true, are; the skeptic’s argument is liberating, it does not matter what she does, and she can give into any whim without feeling

Karen would hold the viewpoint of the situation or position from different valid points, such as Universality. She would be between two lines of thoughts of making a decision if everyone with mental illness refuses meds does it make it right for violent actions to occur for others with the same issues. Now she would have to imagine that people all over the globe are refusing medication and killing innocent people. This makes the decision very different because it’s not right for people to lose their life because some refused meds to a balance mental issues. Karen may also think that people have free will to refuse meds and make their own choices with a mental issue or not. Also, she will view the issues as means to an end. So she will view
