Bernie Sanders Argumentative Analysis

Decent Essays
I think Bernie Sanders performed the best in this debate. He was very passionate while making his points, which I believe is important to get things done. Bernie answered the questions quickly and with confidence because he has had an unwavering stance on the topics. Also, I liked how he said, "Americans are sick of hearing about your damn emails." Funny, but also true.
Hillary Clinton was a close second, however she should not have deflected some of the question. She also did not have a position on legalizing recreational marijuana and at this point in the presidential race, she should. I will give her credit in the fact that she had a great speaking voice and got the crowd excited, but I did not like her deflection of questions.

    On August 9th, 2014, Michael Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson were walking in the middle of the street when they were approached by a police officer by the name of Darren Wilson. With there being altered stories explaining what happened next rather than choosing one side of the story we can agree that an altercation occurred and it led to the unfortunate death of eighteen year old Michael Brown. Because of the differing stories and videos online, I will not focus on whether I feel like the killing of Michael Brown was justified, but whether the process to indict/or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson was justified and not flawed. Beginning as soon as you read the table of contents of the DOJ report on the Ferguson Police Department…

    Chris Mintz, a 30 year old military veteran, was shot 7 times by a shooter in Oregon’s Umpqua Community College on October 1, 2015. He is known as an American hero for stepping up and thinking of others rather than himself. He had a six year old son, whose birthday happened to be on that same day, and he decided to try and stop a shooter and risk his own life to save the lives of others. If a shooter were to come into Franklin High School, three different people, id, ego, and superego, each would have different views on what they would do in a school shooting.…

    Indeed, quiz show provides a feeling of everyone has equal opportunities to win no matter what job, talent, class, gender or race they are through doing same quizzes. As Holmes has argued about Fiske's explanation of games and rituals, games separate out winners from contestants as different, but rituals bringing different individuals in same levels and implying commonality (2008, p.93). In Mastermind, rituals fill in that idea by reducing individual's differences and make them compete at same starting line as equal competitor. For example, the host askes each contestant's name, job and the specialist area they choose to do the quiz before they start to answer, and tells competitors that each of them have equal time to answer the quizzes which…

    After watching the debate, I would say that Clinton had the stronger argument. She had supported her arguments concerning gun legislation, abortion, and immigration with statistics as well as personal testimonies, which improved her credibility and allowed her character to be relatable and trustworthy. For example, on the topic of gun legislation, Clinton had related to the masses by conveying her understanding of those who wish to maintain their gun rights. After establishing this trust with the crowd, she had proceeded to refer to the events concerning gun violence as well as the amount of lives destroyed.…

    I believe Hilary Clinton won the final presidential debate. Clinton’s performance was more persuasive than Trump’s because she spoke with sophistication and intelligences. This country can go in two directions. The first way is up, with Clintons ideas and views I believe our country can become great and everything from trade to economy can thrive. The second way is down, with Trumps and his ideas to build a wall to keep immigrants out and his lack of commence sense and human decency.…

    The Supreme Court, as Justice Madison puts it, is the Supreme interpreter of the law, and all laws that are not constitutional must be strike down. Brandeis also thinks this way. He thinks the interpreter of the law has supervisory powers. They must be impartial and not allow a citizen or government official to break the law. If citizens break the law, then the appropriate punishment applies according to the statutes; however, if the government breaks the law, then sanctions applies to uphold the integrity of the law.…

    Fredrick Douglass initially scorned both political parties of his time, the Democrats and Republicans, for being too pro-slavery and compromising too regularly on issues of slavery. From Lincoln 's early presidency, Douglass criticized Lincoln before the emancipation proclamation, stating "Whoever live through the next four years will see Mr. Lincoln and his Administration attacked more bitterly for their pro-slavery truckling, than for doing any anti-slavery work. " Instead of compromise, Douglass believed that the Republican Party would have to transform from an anti-slavery party into a fully abolitionist institution. Although Fredrick Douglass believed himself to be separate from the Republicans because of their more moderate views, he…

I gained I better understanding of the verbal and non-verbal skills I mastered, changes I would make, and the experiences of other people. Verbal skills are something that I feel I have not completely mastered yet. However, there are some I noticed a great improvement in since the first speech.…
