Kalli's Argumentative Analysis

Improved Essays
As years keep passing through, new generations develop different perspectives on life. Not only does the generations play a role; but also, the typical age you are in general plays a role. For example, grandparents never grew up with technology, but now toddlers, children, and even teens have technology in their hands at any moment. The way a person was brought up, believes, and values plays a way a person looks at life. By interviewing a young adult (18-40 yrs), a middle adult (40-65 yrs), and a late adult (65+ yrs), we can analyze the different perspectives each interviewee has due to the environment, age, and outlook on life

    In 1838, the federal government ordered the army to round 15,000 Cherokee to recognize the treaty and leave their territory, this action make Jackson to be marked as an “immorality” president. According to Takaki’s article, he stated “Whites had purchased lands from Indians and thrust them farther into the wilderness, forcing them to remain in a wandering state.” (Takaki 100) As we know, the Indian is the land owner before America people arrived, but Jackson leads his people take their treasure without any pay as free, and it also causes the death of Indian directly. I think, what Jackson did as a president, is breaking the Indian’s human right and put them into the most dangerous situation without any compensation.…

    It was around this time that Gage helped with the new merge of the AWSA and the NWSA. However, the new National American Woman’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) looked to the WTCU for support. Frances Willard and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WTCU) began to enter the ranks of NWSA. Before this, the NWSA was a fringe movement with outlier members; on the other hand, the WTCU had nearly four times as many supporters and was considered a more acceptable movement for woman to be involved in. Gage was furious at the WTCU’s involvement and “was unwilling to compromise her position on the absolute necessity of religious freedom as a prerequisite for authentic women’s liberation.…

    Basch-Kahre (1984) talks about feelings of aversion that arise when client and counsellor have different backgrounds. He outlines that a baby hates the father and makes him a stranger by not recognizing him, as a father's face punctures endless symbiosis with the mother. Perhaps this triggers infantile stranger-anxiety that gets triggered with people of different cultures, and might do with every such obvious difference. However some of such differences like that of race and religion, which in the external socio-political world are portrayed as having a concrete image based on the "minority of the worst”, facilitate the process of othering in the world. Elias and Scotson (1994) outline that the image of the outsiders is modelled on a "minority of the worst" of them, while the image of the established is modelled on a "minority of the best ", called as emotional generalization.…

    The Canadian citizen has been, and continues to be, created out of a white, Eurocentric, narrative in which racism takes on the form “…of political color coding…when forging a liberal democratic politics for the country as a whole” (Bannerji 545). When racism is endorsed in the form of political doctrine and law, national truths dissolve and become lost inside of a narrative that saves face through diction. In order to apply for citizenship to Canada, adult applicants must fill out the Application for Canadian Citizens – Adults (Immigration). The application directions underline, “If you are 18 to 64 years of age you must submit acceptable proof that demonstrates that you have adequate knowledge of English or French” (Immigration 7).…

    While technology has given people a longer life span most elderly try to look for the good that had happened in their life. Carstensen’s socioemotional selectivity theory tries to explain that older people are mindful that the life span is very valuable that motivates them to look for emotional pleasure (Bengtson, V. L., Gans, D., Putney, N. M., & Silverstein, M. 2008). Looking back through your past you can find ways that you have influenced people and where they made a difference.

    Gould and Lewontin argue that the adaptationist programme is a narrow view of evolution and should be expanded to incorporate other explanations. They claim that one of the key adaptationist arguments is “if one adaptive program fails, try another” (Gould & Lewontin 586). In this way, evolutionary biology focuses exclusively on researching and publishing material on adaptation. They propose that scientists should instead explore other avenues of discovery that may lead to alternative explanations, explanations that they overlooked by narrowly focusing on adaptation. Adaptationists typically claim that a trait has evolved because it is fit to the environment, whereas Gould and Lewontin argue that perhaps these traits are simply byproducts similar…

    In 2012, Donald Savoie argued that “although we may have grown tired of a Quebec focused national unity debate, seeing different regions heading off in different directions is not without significant consequence.” Savoie’s statement reflects the varying dynamics of Canadian nationhood and the regional divisions that exist within the country. Despite the focus often placed on Quebec and its desire to be a distinct society, other such regions like the North and the West who have been grappling with their own set of issues that also challenge the national unity debate. This essay will explore the ideological differences in Canada’s North and West in order to highlight their regional variances and its effect on the larger Canadian nation. Canada’s…

    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.…

    On the occasion of her death in 2016, the New York Times noted that the defeat of the ERA was Schlafly’s “lasting legacy”. Yet on closer inspection what type of world has emerged in the thirty-five years since the ERA fell three states short. Schlafly may or may not have used the specter of shared gender restroom as a boogeyman but in 2016 President Obama issued a directive allowing transgender to use whichever restroom suited their gender identity. While President Obama’s decision remains to be litigated and is still controversial to many, it was once seen as too horrible to fathom but has since come to pass. Similarly, the fear of women serving in combat roles no longer is an issue as of Jan 1, 2018, women who turn 18 will need to register for the selective service just as their male…

    Another conclusion I can draw from my interviewee is that she is a very wise older adult because she gives life a whole new meaning in her perspective. I can also see that my interviewee would rather spend time with her family than with anyone else in her social life. However, I learned that older adults such as my interviewee see themselves like normal people, and I also noticed that older adults may feel depressed if their loved ones abandon them from their lives. In addition, I also learned that older adults like to keep themselves occupied throughout their day because it makes their day go by faster.…

    This argument seems to be based on an assumption, on the part of Al-Ghazali, that there is a sense of possibility which is external and above God: one that even God must remain bound by. This can be seen in the juxtaposition of the conclusion and the sixth premise. In the conclusion, Al-Ghazali is content with the claim that God cannot have created a better creation since such a creation is not possible. In premise six, however, Al-Ghazali is quite unhappy with the notion that God is not able to create a creation which is both possible and better than the one in which we live. Al-Ghazali, then, does not take issue with the claim that God cannot do something.…
