Prensky Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
What I think Prensky argument is that teachers are still using methods that have been used for some many years and things have not changed. He is saying that we need to bring in new methods and combined then with the old to make one cohesive method that can work for students in the classroom. Prensky said in the article that his sons 2013 classroom has little change to what is 1953 classroom had looked like. This is saying that school are doing very little to change to the way they teach in classroom. He also kind of hints that teachers are afraid of change and that they don’t know how to use technology right so they are teach student the wrong ways have how to use technology as a tool in the classroom. His son thinks that Siri is a way of

    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.…

    In this essay I will be comparing to sides of an argument pertaining to the expenses of universal healthcare in the United States. One written by a man named Greg Olear, and the other by an anonymous author. The first batch of arguments are for a universal healthcare system written by Greg Olear. His first argument says that this is in the Constitution, stating it is the job of the president, the Congress, and the Supreme Court to, above all, uphold the charges set forth in the Constitution.…

    Labunski points out that if a second convention had occurred, it probably would have been open to the public and it is unlikely that delegates would have been able to agree on any amendments. Both Natelson and Labunski's articles discuss the importance of Madison's thought process in 1789 and 1790. This is when Madison realized the need for a bill of rights to be included in the Constitution, as states had begun proposing their own ideas for amendments. It is pointed out in both articles that Madison did not completely oppose the idea of states calling for another convention, but he reasoned that it should only happen once the political frenzy had settled down. , Conversely, compared to the level of detail that Natelson and Labunksi provide,…

    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…

    Ethics are the moral duty and obligation that a company has plan to abide by. The authors seem to agree that most malfeasance isn’t caused by greed or opportunism. The general consensus of the authors is that malfeasance is caused by the negligence and over promising of the workers and those in charge. The negligence/over promising is found specifically on the part of the higher ups such as the CEO’s and the board of directors. They choose to overlook a problem and act as if everything is okay choosing instead to pay any lawsuits that they may encounter if it is cheaper than calling a recall.…

    Stanton claims that women should have the same rights as men. This is evident in lines 2-5 when she states that when people want to “assume… a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature, and of nature’s God entitle them,” it is their right to do so. Men and women are entitled to the same rights, and therefore, the government should acknowledge this. She assures that she will support her claim later in the document when she explains that she will “declare the causes that impel [women] to such a course” (line 6).…

    I was largely swayed by Horowitz’s arguments to reconsider secession as an inviolable right. In his essay, he argues that secessionist states remain heterogeneous and minority groups in the new state suffer, and that merely having the right to secede incentivises violence. To this, Horowitz suggests that we should focus on “fostering interethnic accommodation within states” and improving institutional frameworks to mitigate conflict. (14) He brings up electoral systems as an example -- “If election depends, at the margin, on the ability to gain some votes from members of groups other than one's own, then political leaders will behave in an ethnically conciliatory fashion for that purpose.”…

    Over the last few epochs of time, one major element has innovated and expanded to the point where human beings need the assistance of this transcontinental "machine" for even the easiest tasks. This massive element is known as technology, and it has situated itself as an everyday utensil in just a couple of years. One may not even realize how much time we spend each day on technology, whether it is for educational purposes or entertainment reasons. With this stated, a majority of people may agree on the fact that technology has deteriorated the human brain. On the contrary, the rest of the human beings (mainly millennials) oppose and agree that massive technology has been leading to positives regarding any given scenario in a society.…

    Cleanthes' argument from design for God's existence is not convincing. He compares two different ideas and thus, wrongly generalizes. He also commits a fallacy, and doesn’t meet the criteria necessary for the type of argument he offers. Although, a few potential strong points are present in his beliefs, like the improbability of chance, and the incomprehensible evidence of God, they are still not strong enough for His justification. Cleanthes through an a posteriori, inductive argument claims that since the presence of small machines (i.e. houses) implies human design, the presence of an even bigger machine (i.e. the universe) implies a human-like intelligence behind it as well as "the adapting of means to ends in natural and human machines…

    Another site of legal violence is within mass incarceration. William Stunz addresses the violence of the system as focusing on the process over the outcome. He focuses on how the law was put into place to create the desired outcomes, rather than looking at the results to create the law. This focus on the process means there is no inquiry to whether material outcomes of the process are actually just and as such it appears that the system does not want to fix the problem, but rather just emphasize an existing problem. This is a systemic violence because the way the way the law is interpreted causes the focus on procedure rather than the outcomes (Gopnik 2012).…
