“We honor our past because it shapes our future,” this is one of the many quotes that Otterbein University holds dearly. Otterbein University holds this value greatly. Otterbein gives equality to all students, faculty, and others since 1847. Before any women’s rights and the abolishment of slavery, Otterbein University allowed people of color and women to receive a fair and equal education. Otterbein University is a mid-sized college located in Westerville, Ohio.…
peacekeeping abroad is able to express the values of their country. Through the years in past recognition, Lester B. Pearson was a well-known advocator in the promotion of peace and security during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Canada’s political views were greatly dominated by Great Britain, but in the event of the Suez Crisis, Pearson allowed Canada’s views to undergo a transition that was promoting the interests of Canada and our urge to act on the international scale (Carroll, 2009). Through Pearson’s ability to establish the United Nations Emergency Force to resolve the conflict of the Suez Crisis and earn a Nobel Peace Prize for these initiatives, Canada was taken to the center stage and was officially viewed as a peacekeeper (Carroll, 2009).…
This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently. Thus in the eyes of the Native American community, to deny their claims of being the descendants of the Kennewick man equates to denying their religion and traditions. (Jones 2005 cited by Sayer 2010: 112). This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…
Technology is changing our lives and whether we like it or not we find ourselves having to go along with it. Writers, readers, composers, researchers and so on need to find a way to adapt to the change that comes with what we call “The Technology Era”. As always there will be two sides to any change; the one that will agree with it and open their arms to it, and a second that will forever talk about how great times used to be when things were done the only way they know to do things because they do not like change or cannot adapt to new. Nicholas Carr (2008) states “I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading.…
The National Institute of Health (NIH) doubled their funding in just 5 few years, starting in the late 1990’s, until this exponential increase in funds came to an abrupt halt. The document “A Broken Pipeline,” put together by a number of concerned scientists, addresses the issue of the hostile environment that developed under the severe financial pressure academic research institutions are facing as a result of losing funds. Nonetheless, halting thousands of innovative research projects with promise is unacceptable, especially when the research being performed is detrimental to keeping up with progress in our rapidly advancing age. The urgency of the scientists in “A Broken Pipeline” is absolutely justified, and I strongly agree that funds…
Recently, there has been an argument in the State of Texas about the power of the State and the local governments. This argument had raised up after Gregg Abbott warned about the “Californization” of Texas, and in follow passing laws that limited the power of local governments on issues like fracking in their cities. These arguments are similar to those that are for the powers for the State versus Federal government. Hence, there are lots of arguments for and against the local control, and on the other hand, it is hypocritical for the state government to impose its will on the policies.…

Within this essay, I will argue that Galen Strawson’s basic argument, presented in Your Move: The Maze of Free Will, is correct about the impossibility of ultimate moral responsibility. I will do this by first explaining the basic argument as proposed by Strawson, then raising an objection to it concerning the distinction between the self and the way you are by denying the second premise. And finally, I will be refuting the objection. Strawson’s basic argument can be boiled down to the simple notion that one cannot be ultimately morally responsible. He claims that anything you do in any circumstance is an effect of who you are, and the way you are.…
Philo begins his argument from the existence of evil by introducing a few examples on why God has either not willed humanity’s happiness or that He does not believe that happiness is an essential component to the human condition. In his first argument, he asserts first that God is a moral being who values traits such a justice, kindness, and mercy. He then states that God’s scope is infinite, and he can perform whatever deeds he so wishes. Finally, he says that humanity is unhappy. This leads to the conclusion that God must not wish for the contentment of mankind.…
When it comes to interpreting the Bible, the word “inerrant” has been misused in such a way that has led people to overlook the message intended by God. The mistreatment of this word has brought about attempts to study the Bible as if it were a book of history, science, or philosophy. The sermon combats these misapplications by reminding its audience of the proper use of God’s word, the importance of its divine message, and its claims concerning its own inerrancy. The sermon resonates with me because it reminds me of the pertinence of God’s word and how important it is to use it with the utmost care. I believe that Mercer’s theological faculty strives to take a stance on inspiration that treats the Bible with this same kind of reverence.…

Well, I consider myself to be a decent writer, even though writing is not my strong point. Therefore, as I have come to the completion of my degree, I have learned numerous writing skills along the way. I learned the MLA style, when I started taking my basics in college and the APA style for my upper division courses. At times I get confused on the formats as I consider them to be similar in some ways. Furthermore, they differ and each has its own different style of quoting and citation in articles, books, phrases, etc.…
Argument Research Paper Reflection I believe that I met the learning targets well for this unit. I wrote arguments to support my clear claim using sufficient evidence. I used evidence in my paper from the NIACC databases and other reliable sources as well as a book. I also followed MLA citation in order to avoid plagiarism. My final draft is quite different from my first draft, proving that I drafted, revised, and edited my paper.…
It is common for arguments to have bad logic or unsound premises, these are called fallacious arguments. Many of these arguments may seem to make sense at first, but when you take a deeper look into them you will realize that they really don’t. In this essay, I am going to analyze different fallacious arguments and then give them what they need to be stronger arguments while simultaneously trying to connect the bridge between chihuahua and dog. One type of fallacious argument is called begging the question. This happens when the truth of the argument is presupposed in the premises.…
