According to Hacker and Sommers’ in “Constructing Reasonable Arguments”, taking a stand on a controversial topic, swaying the reader with evidence and analysis, and citing all sources used within an essay are the stepping-stones to produce a well manufactured argumentative essay. The main goal is to persuade the reader to choose the writer's side of the argument over the opposing side in an informative way. Arguments happen everywhere all the time, which means there is more than one way to look at an issue. It's recommended to research the debatable topic and look at it from multiple angles. An efficient way to present a position is to treat is like a court case and provide the reader with as much evidence to sway them while addressing any…

Winnit wanted to put up a statue to show his religion, but he put it right in front of another religious statue. Official take it down thus making Winnit mad, so he files a lawsuit demanding to put it back up. The District court ruled in favor of the officials saying that it wasn’t a violation of freedom of exercise of religion, and if the troll was kept would act as government speech, which is a violation of the First Amendment. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed with both the District and eventually the Supreme Court. I have a dissenting opinion with the majority with the Supreme Court.…
For many African Americans, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are the foundation of higher education. They provided equal access to a high-quality education for countless African Americans. As diversity gains momentum and economic pressures continue to mount, the need for these specialized institutions is in question. Their relevance is doubted with concerns about their present purpose, costs, and vitality in modern America. Are HBCUs as relevant today as they were in the 19th and 20th centuries or have they outlived their initial purpose?…
In the midst of heavy racial tension among college campuses across the country, Cal Poly Pomona has stood out above the rest by being culturally sensitive and encouraging students to take initiative and learn about other customs and ethnicities outside of their own. Over the course of the last academic session for students, whether quarter or semester there have been reported protests regarding racial injustice on at least five college campuses across the country. There have been zero protests at Cal Poly and according to President Coley it is because of it’s “long standing inclusive values and diverse campus.” She does not believe the campus has to handle damage control like other universities to recent events because it is in Cal Poly’s DNA starting with faculty and staff to be culturally aware and sensitive.…
Ever tossed a penny aside and never gave a second thought about its worth? What many Americans fail to realize is the price they pay for each discarded, unwanted penny. I believe that the penny should be eliminated from American currency because they cost too much, waste valuable work time, and have been erased in other countries with no terrible consequences. The penny is surely not worth the trouble it causes and the burdens we have to endure by keeping them. Pennies are worth one cent, but producing pennies can cost even more than double that price.…
In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…

This past month, Rick Scott signed into law two new bills regarding elementary through high school, and higher education reform. These were HB 7055 and SB 4. The latter of which has been the topic of discussion for many college students are across the Sunshine State. This bill, also referred to as the Excellence in Higher Education Act (EHEA), mainly focuses on 2 specific issues. Firstly, it confirms the year-long anticipated announcement that the top 2 Bright Futures scholarships will be expanded to pay up to 100% of a student’s tuition is any Florida college; and additionally, it creates the Campus Free Expression Act (CFEA), which eliminates “free speech zones” in Florida college campuses.…
Since starting this class I have noticed how much I write. I journal at least once a week, I’ve had assignments of all kinds that I’ve had papers for, and I spend a great deal of my time on my phone answering messages. I tried my best to get an A in this class, even though I got sick often, and my attendance was poor on the worst days. I tried to participate even when I wasn’t there; for example, I was messaging Garrett argument ideas through Facebook while I as in bed sick. This was one of my favorite classes this semester.…

Problems with violence and alcohol abuse have spun out of control,so the school has taken drastic action to stop it.…
Hungry for Change Why is it that law mandates public school meals have a minimum calorie intake, but not a maximum? This owes itself to the fact that when nutrition standards were established for public schools, it was to solve the problem of undernourishment. The majority of school aged children used to walk to school, played more outside, and were more active in sports. This resulted in children burning more calories than school meals provided.…
In high school, I wrote economic research papers for competitions and won trophies at a state level. I figured I had some sort of background in writing research papers because I’d already done it for the past two years of my life, and had to learn about appeals in Introduction to Public Speaking last semester. However, when I started writing argumentative research papers in English Composition II, it was extremely difficult. I felt like I wasn’t doing my topics justice until I truly researched and knew what I was talking about. I worked on my tone, my ability to use appeals, and how to avoid fallacies.…
