Jordan's Argumentative Analysis

Improved Essays
The type of explanation that the conductor is giving for Jordan's artistic skills is the descriptive explanation. What is wrong with his statement is that unless Jordan received a split brain surgery, he's brain is not divided meaning that both of his brain hemispheres are working and there's not a dominant side. A split brain procedure is "a condition resulting from surgery that isolates the brain’s two hemispheres by cutting the fibers (mainly those of the corpus callosum) connecting them" (Myers, 2014p. 59). Also, just because there are specific things that a specific side of the brain can do, it does not mean that the information can not pass sides of the brains and that's because the corpus callosum is still intact. The corpus callosum

    After the capture of Patsy Daley and flushed with renewed vigour, Sir Frederick was soon back in the Wheogo area in search of Ben Hall, whom Pottinger once more came into close contact with at Sandy Creek station. It would appear that Ben Hall was either camped near or was staying at his former home and was being supplied with victuals and other comforts by Susan Prior and Ellen MaGuire. Whether Ben Hall understood or even contemplated at this early stage when he was crossing the lawful line to the unlawful line Ben Hall could have handed himself over to the law, no doubt for Ben Hall a custodial sentence would have been imposed, it was possible for Hall that a lenient sentence may have been brought down through Hall's good character references, as has been testified too by his esteemed friends from the district published in the many accounts of his fall from grace.…

    To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…

    As a consequence, when the gun control activists only look at a specific part of the amendment they can easily interpret it so that it supports their cause. David Clark is such an activist, and he believes that because the 2nd amendment says “well regulated militia,” then the amendment only protects the states rights in forming government ran militias, not individual rights in owning firearms (Young 70). As a result of his interpretation of the amendment, Clark is able to say that the Constitution reinforces his call for gun control. So to people who aren’t as educated in this specific topic, Clark’s view is taken as truth since he says the Constitution backs him up. Sadly a lot of people don’t do their own research and take other’s views…

    “Life is what happens when you put down your phone” (Montague 41). Kids are often thought of as being uninvolved in their communities because they are “too small” and they can’t do what others can. It is thought that if you just put a child in front of a tv or computer that they will be content. Robby Novak has blown that stereotype out of the water. Robby Novak, also known as Kid President, is a hero to many because he positively, bravely, and significantly made a lasting impact on the world, but he could also be considered an epic hero because he holds a weapon in which only he can wield, he had an unusual circumstance of birth, and he is currently going on a remarkable journey through his life.…

    Mayhew, in Congress: The Electoral Connection, “The Electoral Incentive,” describes a seat in congress as a “congressional career, [offering] good pay and high prestige” (Mayhew 2004, 14-15). In order to keep that career, those in congress must continuously run for reelection, thus forming the “electoral connection.” To be ale to achieve reelection, a congressman must secure voters, and to secure voters he must give these voters what they want. Through this method, congressmen can keep their coveted jobs and the American people can reap the benefit by having congressman pass desired legislation to try and ensure voters. Although this sounds like a stable relationship, outside variables do get in the way.…

    Clifford and James are two philosophers who have contradicting opinions on whether having sufficient evidence is always necessary to believe in something. Where Clifford believes you cannot believe in anything without sufficient evidence, James believes that if the evidence doesn’t point in one way or another, it is justified to believe something based on our will. I will be arguing that James’ side is indeed correct. In James’ paper, he provides concrete evidence as to why his opinion is correct.…

    Edmondson responds to the opposing viewpoint by agreeing with the opposing perspective in a manner where she introduces the idea that she agrees to in a positive manner to later crush it and reveal the truth behind the opposing viewpoint. For example, on page 260 Edmondson mentions introduces the opposing view point “While it may seem that Walmart’s and Meijer’s of the world bring variety to their host towns, thereby adding to the local culture, these giants truly have the opposite effect” ( Edmondson 260).Through this sample we see how the opposing viewpoint has been introduced in the sense she agrees with the idea, but as she goes on she eventually acts against her opposing viewpoint. Big box stores are so popular according to Edmondson…

    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.…
