Eric Asimov Analysis

Improved Essays
Eric Asimov did a ‘study’ on the top lite beers. Eric is a wine and food taster for The New York Times. Despite wine being different from beer it is still alcohol. With his ‘study’ he was able to come to conclusion on what he thought was the number one lite beer. In Eric’s article he doesn’t state where he got the list for the top ten lite beers in America, but he bases his evaluation on it. I also don’t know what he based his evaluations off of other than his own personal experience in the wine tasting field. However, he still manages to get his point across with his evaluations. It must have been slightly different for him to go from tasting wine, which has a lot of taste, to tasting lite beer, which has no taste.

    In her article “Lowering the Drinking Age Has Serious Consequences,” Tara Watson, an associate professor of economics and chairwoman of the Program in Public Health at Williams College, argues that if the drinking age were to be lowered, the consequences would be severe and even fatal. Although Watson presents a good argument, there are many flaws that come with it. I disagree with her article, not for the sole purpose of myself being a minor, but because there are legitimate reasons as to why the drinking age should be lowered. Her argument is heavily biased and relies solely on the current negative impacts of underage drinking. Watson argues that “Alcohol consumption by young adults has demonstrable and serious costs: for example, a lower…

But even if you are supposed to be hurting someone else, without thinking about the odds, it will come back to you in what people call karma.

    Throughout Josh Fischman’s “Criminal Minds” there is an astounding amount of transitional phrases between paragraphs. However, there are three that stood out to me among the others. The first transition to attract my attention was in the beginning of the story while Adrian Raine was explaining that there might be a possibility of detecting if a child has a chance of becoming a criminal in adulthood. Raine begins by saying “So if I could tell you, as a parent, that your child has a 75-percent chance of becoming a criminal, wouldn’t you want to know and maybe have the chance to do something about it?” This quote immediately grasped my attention and I became anxious to see what was coming next.…

The author argues that fraudulent research has made the disease concept accepted by society in place of calling alcoholism a choice. Baldwin points to a flaw in the research “The surveys he based his conclusions on were from a handpicked group of alcoholics.…
