In this essay I will be comparing to sides of an argument pertaining to the expenses of universal healthcare in the United States. One written by a man named Greg Olear, and the other by an anonymous author. The first batch of arguments are for a universal healthcare system written by Greg Olear. His first argument says that this is in the Constitution, stating it is the job of the president, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to, above all, uphold the charges set forth in the Constitution.…
Lastly, they write that it is important for educators to “[deal] with insensitive and intolerant acts” (Whittaker, Salend, and Elhoweris 309). This is in how other people may purposefully act negatively towards someone because of their religious…
Imagine living a life where you are judged, not based on your personality or your actions towards others, but by what your ethnic background or religion is. How would you feel if you did no wrong, but you are judged because someone else who shares your culture did do something wrong? Often people develop opinions about someone when they scarcely know them. In the two books, The Day of the Pelican by Katherine Paterson and The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen the characters show that many people are judged because of their culture.…
Some of us have repeatedly taken for granted what our culture has to offer. Certain individuals spend too much time pretending to be something they are not and too often forget to embrace the fact they are special in their own way. Others constantly judge people because of where they come from. Many think they are better than others and discriminate upon them heavily. Society has played a huge impact on the acceptance of cultural diversity over time and influenced negative beliefs to many in order to portray the view of a perfect individual.…
Klusendorf argues through a biblical standpoint that abortion is immoral from multiple standpoints. He starts with discussing whether if the Bible being silent allows it by default, clears up his views on what he considers human beings, and ends with an examination on the pro-choice interpretation of a Bible passage. His first point is that we should know that abortion is wrong because we are treating other humans unjustly by doing so. Racists are then given as an example, who had used Scripture’s silence as their proof. Another one of his main points is that it was unnecessary to address the matter at the time.…
This is a great example for proving that there is a flaw in the way schools develop he definition of a belief vs. fact; McBrayer says that schools are not using the right terms when defining these two, thus creating chaos when a child/teenager has to decide whether something is true or false, or right or wrong. He points out that the problem is that schools basically play something like the "Devil's advocate" when having a child choose whether something is a fact or a belief, when really every case is different and some facts can or cannot be proven. McBrayer also validates his argument by providing proof that he found the problem in his son's school "When I went to visit my son’s second grade open house, I found a troubling pair of signs hanging…
In the article “Don’t Misread My Signals” Judith Ortiz Cofer explains the religious and cultural differences between other countries. She shares incidents, in the early stages of her life, such as the stereotypes and discriminatory opinions from others she was faced with.

This essay calls the readers to stand against such remarks. In this society prejudice is very real and it is apparent in many different situations. Being able to stand up in these situations makes more of a difference than anyone could ever know. But, learning to respond quickly and effectively is an important tool which helps decrease the amount of unfiltered, unintentional criticism. Prejudice shows itself in many different forms and fashions.…
Growing up in a very poor country, I learned that you can’t judge people because you don’t know what they are going through. For culture to thrive everyone has to be opened minded and understanding. With all the experience I have had from…
As Socrates waited for the ships to arrive from Delos, Crito proposed to Socrates a way he could escape his death penalty. This would mean disobeying the law, however Crito insisted for Socrates to listen to his proposition because he believed he still had a life to live for. In response Socrates suggested they should examine Crito’s proposition before planning for his escape: “I think it important to persuade you before I act, and not to act against your wishes.” (Crito. 48e). Socrates’ response was much more than an argument; it was an analysis of the most probable outcome that would lead after him running away.…
The vantage points taken by many to make headway in the controversy over abortion are endless, and Don Marquis is one of the many who argue for the impermissibility of the action. In my paper, I will object to Marquis’ conclusion that abortion is wrong by posing a thought experiment described by Michael Tooley. This serves the purpose of presenting a situation where an action that is morally wrong by Marquis’ logic is not intuitively impermissible. Similarly, I hope that by analyzing his argument through a Utilitarian lens it will become evident that the argument forged by Marquis is inadequate for determining the permissibility of abortion. In summary, by analyzing Marquis’ premises and subsequent conclusion through a Utilitarian perspective and by conducting a thought experiment I hope the reader will be convinced that the argument for the impermissibility of abortion posed by Marquis is inconclusive at best.…

“Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) Meetings and Mexican American Parents: Let 's Talk About It” written by Loretta Salas, highlights some keys disadvantages that Mexican American parents face. In retrospect, I feel that these same dilemmas can be extended to several different foreign-speaking parents. The article highlights several major issues having to do with the American education system. Not only those it focuses on the issued of under-representation of Mexican Americans, but the under-appreciation of foreign language individuals as a whole. Parents with children in the education system who were not familiar with the English language were used as examples to show how these people were poorly treated.…
Rene Descartes the father of modern philosophy, a philosopher known to believe things to be true until it was proven otherwise. In these meditations Descartes had complex opinions. In the case of Descartes in meditations a greater individual than him existed. Descartes’ claim insisted with the existence of the idea of God to the real existence of God. To support his argumentative opinions, Descartes points two distinct arguments that were utilized by “Augustine in the fourth century and Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century” (Shouler).…
