An Argument's Stasis Map

In this stasis map paper there is four parts of an argument that will be discussed.This argument process was developed by Aristotle and Hermogenes, in ancient Greece.The four parts are conjecture, definition, quality and policy. Conjecture is the cause and the effect of an argument.Definition is the “What is the nature of the problem/issue?What exactly is the problem/issue?What kind of a problem/issue is it?To what larger class of things or events does it belong? What are its parts, and how are they related?” in this part of the argument you are not only defining the issue but the words used to describe it as well. Quality is the good or the bad of an argument. Some of the questions that might be asked are “ how serious is this issue?, what …show more content…
It’s the overall facts about an argument. Over the past year nuclear energy has become a very popular. There is many arguments that have usen conjecture to support nuclear energy.Nuclear energy is “the energy in the nucleus or core,of an atom.” Atom makes up everything in the universe. The energy in the atoms is what holds the nucleus together which is called Strong Force. Today, we use nuclear energy to create electricity. However, the energy must first be put off by the atom. This is not the only way the energy can be released. The atoms can also be split to put off the energy. Splitting the atoms is called a Nuclear Reaction, in this case the scientist inject many neutrons at the Uranium-235 atoms. When a single neutron hits the nucleus it makes it become Uranium-236, make the atoms wanting to split apart. With the atom splitting it releases three neutron and a lot of energy. We use the energy in the nuclear reactors or power plants which creates the energy. This is done by machines controlling the nuclear fission which produces the energy. The nuclear fission that is being produced is the Uranium pellets. When the atoms break apart they release tiny fission products, which cause the change reaction. The change reaction creates the heat, which warms reactors cooling agent. The cooling agent is a material used in a nuclear power plant like water. …show more content…
In 1899, Rutherford separates alpha and beta radiation and discovers half-life. Rutherford discovered Radioactivity when working on Phosphorescent materials. Phosphorescent materials is a related to fluorescence, however unlike fluorescences it absorbs radiation. Rutherford also discovered most mass is concentrated in a small nucleus. Ruther could tell that the nucleus has a large mass by the diameter of the nucleus is 10^5 times smaller than the atom. 1919 through 1920’s Ernest creates the splitting with the atoms and theorizes a neutron. However, it was not till 1932 when Chadwick identifies what’s a neutron is. In 1934, Enrico Fermi achieves nuclear fission. In 1938, Hann and Strassman split atoms with neutrons calling it a fission. In 1939, Szilard, Wigner and Teller also convince Einstein to sign a letter warning Roosevelt of the possible weapons that could come from nuclear energy. Roosevelt authorizes creation of Advisory Committee on Uranium, begins in the US nuclear bomb effort. A few years later in 1942, Fermi achieves the first nuclear chain reaction in a squash court a U. of Chicago Manhattan project in full swing; Secret cities built in Oak Ridge TN and Los Alamos Nm. July 1945 there was the first nuclear weapon test. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are nuked, scarring public opinion of nuclear technology. By the sixth through the ninth of august in 1945, year
