    Didion sets the tone by connecting morality to the “air” of her uncomfortable environment. Didion’s position on morality is that “we have no way of knowing” about morality, about what is good, right, and correct and she challenges our own consciousness as well. While Didion claims that there are no universal standards of what is right or wrong are correct, I disagree when she says, “How many madmen have said it and meant it” and includes Jesus Christ in her examples of madmen. These statements are one-sided because, which is a major weakness to her argument. Didion informs the general public audience that she is in a very uncomfortable stage.…

    Reporter Ronald Brownstein argues that there are four quadrants of Congress. Brownstein adheres to the idea that demographic factors that go beyond region play a powerful role in shaping each party’s representation in the House. The four quadrants of Congress, which include districts that have high levels of racial minorities and of educated whites, districts with high minority levels and low levels of white education, districts that have low minority levels and high white education levels, and districts with low minority levels and low white education, shape the impact of demography on parties in the House. The Democrats’ two greatest demographic strengths are the racial minorities and well-educated whites. While the Democrats drawing their…

    Stanton claims that women should have the same rights as men. This is evident in lines 2-5 when she states that when people want to “assume… a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature, and of nature’s God entitle them,” it is their right to do so. Men and women are entitled to the same rights, and therefore, the government should acknowledge this. She assures that she will support her claim later in the document when she explains that she will “declare the causes that impel [women] to such a course” (line 6).…

    Initially I will present a description of theological instrumentalism and the motivations for advocating religious fiction as instrumentally valuable. One of the motivations for rejecting theism is the problem of evil. The problem of evil when treated as a fiction is thought to avoidable as the instrumentalist is the creator of his fictional world and so can exclude inconsistencies. I argue that the instrumentalist does not need to avoid the problem of evil and that it can be fictionally valuable. Further, if the instrumentalist does not include suffering in their fiction, this can lead to pragmatic inconsistencies.…

    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.…

    Stunz's Argument Analysis

    Another site of legal violence is within mass incarceration. William Stunz addresses the violence of the system as focusing on the process over the outcome. He focuses on how the law was put into place to create the desired outcomes, rather than looking at the results to create the law. This focus on the process means there is no inquiry to whether material outcomes of the process are actually just and as such it appears that the system does not want to fix the problem, but rather just emphasize an existing problem. This is a systemic violence because the way the way the law is interpreted causes the focus on procedure rather than the outcomes (Gopnik 2012).…

    Harman's Argument Analysis

    Harman presents the argument that we never have any evidence for or against any moral claim and that moral “facts” serve no purpose regarding the explanation of making observations unlike scientific facts do. In this essay, I will argue why I believe that Harman’s argument is ultimately successful, successful being that it is convincing of its conclusion. I will accomplish this by first paraphrasing Harman’s premises in an understandable manner. Next, I intend to provide a possible attack that could be used to show how Harman’s argument fails and alter my focus on to why that attack should not succeed as well as delivering a counter-argument to ensure my argument is not one-sided. Finally, I will provide a proper conclusion that summarizes…

It has nothing to do with being violent or verbally abusive to the contender. An argument is a process of reasoning from one claim to another. An argument supports your ideas with justification from other ideas, principles, and observations to establish your conclusions and overcome objections.…
