Dr. Piper's Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
Show More
Dr.Piper’s idea of Oklahoma Wesleyan University is something myself can agree with. The doctor’s notion that the kids of 90’s generation are afraid of being hurt is completely true. There have been times where someone gets upset over another person having a different stance on a subject matter. My age group is guilty of this but millennials can improve upon their fear of being hurt. The interpretation of what students should expect at OWU is rightfully correct. The only people who benefit from a ‘nation of wimps’ is the people who raised them. Kids who are raised to experience no failure cannot learn from their mistakes. When millenials do experience some sort of failure for example, if they get a C, in math their parents blame the teacher.

    Tamar Demby's Argument Analysis

    As Tamar Demby analyzes Anne Applebaum’s argument, Demby points out the errors from the writing, she is establishing her position by stating what Applebaum needs to improve and include into her points. She explains how a fair-minded ethos and a fact-based case needs to be established in order to make the argument effective. Demby argues that, “Applebaum undermines her own purpose by basing her argument on unsupported claims, relying on highly emotional language, and failing to establish her ethos as a credible authority on the issue,” and I agree because these were some of the same issues I came across when I found Applebaum’s argument ineffective. Throughout the argument, nothing was directed to the readers besides concern and fear. Demby’s…

    Rogerian's Argumentative Analysis

    Hello Brian, I would just like to start by thanking you for your opinion it is always interesting to see how other people look at the same issue. When you stated that, “common decency has been replaced with a self-serving mentality and entitlement attitude” I knew you would have a well thought out discussion because this is very true. The point you made when quoting Ecclesiastes 3:7, “a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak” I however think this is a time for Frederick to be silent. I think that Frederick did nothing to protect his invention and there fore lost it to his professors. Even if Frederick has the slight possibility of proving this is his idea, the Bible says in (Proverbs 20:3 NIV) “It is to one’s…

    Dred Scott's Argumentative Analysis

    The Emancipation Proclamation legally freed the slaves in states that were not under Union control as a reaction to the Dred Scott case. Lincoln’s motive behind the issuance of the Proclamation remains one of the most debated topic of the president. In the famous Lincoln-Douglass Debate in Charleston (National Historic SiteIllinois), Lincoln claimed that he “as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race” when asked to talk about his opinion about the equality between the black people and the white people. This led to the theory that Lincoln was a white-suprematist in nature, but still signed the Proclamation in order to win the war.…

    Tully's Argument Analysis

    Before significant change in the Indigenous incarnation system, there needs to be a shift in the jurisdictional control of Indigenous affairs. There are many different Indigenous nation that exist in Canada with “diverse governmental traditions, territories and aspirations” (Hogg 192) James Tully’s argument for renegotiating treaty-federalist relations is a potentially viable solution of a multitude of nations that would remain flexible and accommodating unique governmental traditions. The problem with current relations are that Aboriginal peoples have been treated as though they are a part of the federal-provincial institutional structure and are subject to the laws and jurisdiction of Canadian authority. This is ahistorical and counter to…

    Mcbrayer's Argument Analysis

    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…

    George Fitzhugh's Argument Analysis

    The South was as secure in their conviction that slavery was a proper institution as the Minutemen who turned the British back at the Old North Bridge were in theirs. The insulation of the South allowed these convictions to thrive without serious opposition in local communities. With everyone thinking and therefore voting the same way it was easy to keep slavery alive for decades. Insomuch as they believed the proslavery position was unfounded in reality putting forward idealized and sometimes fantastical ideas of Southern society and slave holding. The slave’s perspective was very much real where even in the best position slaves still felt the fear of sale and control by whites.…
