Persuasive Essay: Why The Lies The Government Lie

Decent Essays
This is a very thought-provoking topic for persuasion. I look forward to seeing you discern the truth among all of the lies the government shoves down everyone's throat. Although I'm sure sources will be limited, as Jess pointed out, I have no doubt that you will be able to craft a convincing persuasive essay all the same. Its been over 10 years, I think its about time for the government's stories to be exposed for what they really are: lies.

In August of 1992, just four months after Chris walked alone into the wild, his perishing body was found by a party of moose hunters. Chris went into the wild hoping to get away from corrupt society and to live a transcendentalist lifestyle. His bold journey was going well until he made a silly mistake when he came across seeds from the wild potato. The seeds themselves are not what killed Chris, it was the amino acids in the seeds that caused him to slowly become paralyzed due to his malnutrition and physical state.…

    I believe Hilary Clinton won the final presidential debate. Clinton’s performance was more persuasive than Trump’s because she spoke with sophistication and intelligences. This country can go in two directions. The first way is up, with Clintons ideas and views I believe our country can become great and everything from trade to economy can thrive. The second way is down, with Trumps and his ideas to build a wall to keep immigrants out and his lack of commence sense and human decency.…

    My question is drawn from the Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Pages 1-15. The quote that inspired my question was, “In a political debate, the man who is forming a judgement is making a decision about his own vital interests.” This quote made me think about the people I know who have risen above themselves and who seek to help others. People who volunteer frequently, donate large percentages of their paychecks, and people who always hold the door open for others are the people who come to mind. Obviously, these people have their own self-interests as well, but they also spend a noticeable amount of their time helping others and looking out for our society as well.…

    After the presidential election, Donald Trump was elected president. Riots broke out, feminists cried, and some people moved to Canada. Honestly trump isn't that bad, he can't start a war in the next 4 years (hopefully), every law and bill he can make has to go through the supreme court, and he cannot change the amendments. So he doesn't really have that much power. So my three issues for trump are wars, taxes, and the wall.…

    The candidates of this election cycle have strong, differing opinions. Many American citizens believe that in this election, they have to choose between the lesser of two evils.
