Ethical Proof

I. Invention
a. Research Recourses
I think Abby did a really good job with her research. She found information from some good creditable sources that was very relevant to what she was speaking about. One source however, The Examiner, isn’t really the most creditable. I think she could have found a better source in place of that. On her outline, I have no idea where her sources are in her speech and I got sort of lost when she gave her speech so I didn’t get to write it down.

b. Methods of influencing an audience
i. Ethical Proof

    The entire Angela Davis lecture was phenomenal. She discussed so many topics and interacted with the audience, which turned the lecture into a fun experience and not only informative but also very entertaining to listen to and watch. I would grade the lecture with an A. I love how she related everything from the past to present because in reality not much has changed when it comes to racism and slavery and the challenges we face as not only African American but also being an African American woman. One of my favorite parts was how she ended the lecture with a question and answer portion and how many of the students were not afraid to ask very challenging questions and of course her response was just as in depth.…

    Criminal Justice The field of Criminal Justice is an ever-changing discipline that has recently swelled in importance within the United States. This is most likely due in fact to our alarmingly high recidivism and incarceration rate, which is currently towering above the rest of the countries of the world. With a problem of such a magnitude comes a multiplitude of solutions, each of which have varied from decade to decade. Until recently however, these solutions were typically designed to disregard the individual in favor of a more unilateral, streamlined process, which attempted to alleviate the pressure on the bloated Criminal Justice System, at the cost of the individual.…

    However, it’s not only an individual’s personal problems that play a role in developing this distorted obsession of body image which leads to eating disorders but also public problems like social media. Tiggerman (2002) claimed that “the media puts severe pressure on women of all ages to be a certain size. Repeated exposure to such images may lead a woman to internalize the thin ideal such that it becomes accepted by them as the reference point against which to judge themselves” (92). Even though, it’s hard not to be influenced by media, it’s not only to be blamed for setting the standards of beauty because it constantly portrayed in every outlet possible. An article from Brown University explains that, “People with negative body image tend to feel that their size or shape is a sign of personal failure too and that it is a very important indicator of worth”.…

    For instance, a study carried out by the National Institute on Media and the Family found that 53% of girls who are 13 years old and 78% of girls who are 17 years old feel that their bodies are unattractive (“Body-image”). Inevitably, the study depicts that the extremely skinny models seen all over the media cause feelings of sadness and low self-esteem in women. This is harmful because the media is able to impact a large amount of women by making them feel unhappy with themselves. Furthermore, Erin Heatherton, a former Victoria’s Secret model, decides to stop modelling after being constantly told to lose weight by the company. Heatherton says that she felt very depressed because no matter how many weight loss tactics she did, she could not meet the company’s standards (“Former VS”).…

    Statement of Resolution: "Be it resolved that capitalism provides the most effective economic structure for society" Issue Position: The issue position of capitalism being the most effective economic structure for society did change before the debate.

However, I was able to find lots of information, such as quotes, statistics, examples and so forth, in order to back up our points.…

    Consequence ethics is focusing on what gives the best overall good for the greatest amount of people. If so, does that mean it is okay for a smaller amount of people to suffer for the greater good?

There is a case considered a problem with distributing resources in a community from Julia Driver’s book Ethics the Fundamentals. There is a town with a population consisting of 100 people.…
