Proxima B Argumentative Essay

Decent Essays
I don’t think that there could be life outside of Earth. After reading the article I believe that Proxima B would be hazardous to the human population or kind. That planet is too far away from Earth so it would take awhile to land on the planet.
I honestly believe the reason why we need another planet to live on is because we have ruined our own planet, and what if we do the same to the others. We have ruined our own planet from global warming, and we continue to do so. The problems we have now is because of our own decisions.
If there was life out there in the galaxy wouldn’t we know of it. No one knows how big space is and what is beyond our galaxy. If we were to travel into another galaxy how do they expect us to live that long. Like in

    In the midst of heavy racial tension among college campuses across the country, Cal Poly Pomona has stood out above the rest by being culturally sensitive and encouraging students to take initiative and learn about other customs and ethnicities outside of their own. Over the course of the last academic session for students, whether quarter or semester there have been reported protests regarding racial injustice on at least five college campuses across the country. There have been zero protests at Cal Poly and according to President Coley it is because of it’s “long standing inclusive values and diverse campus.” She does not believe the campus has to handle damage control like other universities to recent events because it is in Cal Poly’s DNA starting with faculty and staff to be culturally aware and sensitive.…

    However, while Irons notes how proslavery arguments changed and evolved, he also notes how African Americans drove many of the changes—both to their benefit, and their detriment. For example, as evangelicals sought to increase their numbers and distinguish themselves from Anglicans, black evangelicals were essential to recruiting slaves and free blacks to join their churches. The Nat Turner Rebellion marked another formative way African Americans influenced proslavery arguments; the rebellion spurred white southerners into instituting stricter observation and regimentation of slave worship, such as banning religious gatherings where there would not be oversight. Still, African American Virginians pushed hard for right to segregated worship by leveraging the power of which church they could choose to join; whites often acquiesced to a degree, largely due to their commitment to the slave mission as well as…

    The Supreme Court of Georgia subsequently set aside Defendant’s death sentences on the armed robbery counts, on the basis, that defendants are rarely subject to capital punishment for that crime. The Court upheld defendant’s death sentences with respect to the murder convictions. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Furman case, which held a death penalty statute to be unconstitutional, because it resulted in death being imposed in an “arbitrary and capricious” manner, the Georgia legislature revised its death penalty statute so that death could only be imposed when the jury had found the presence of specific aggravating factors. This effectively narrowed the class of murderers subject to capital punishment. The new statute created…

    We may have committed crimes during our youthful years, some bigger than others. While the punishment that came along with those crimes may have been little to no punishment at all, that’s not the case with fifteen year old Charles Andy Williams and fourteen year old Lionel Tate. William’s, who was involved in a fatal shooting spree in Santana High School, and Tate who was involved in the wrestling death of his six year old playmate were both sentenced to life in prison under California’s proposition 21 law. This law states that any juvenile offender 14 years of age or older who commits a violent crime or a serious sex offense for the most part, are no longer eligible for juvenile court. Prosecutors are allowed to directly file charges against juvenile offenders in adult court for a…

    Over the course of my high school years, I have practically been living with the topic of human genetic engineering. After watching the film Gattaca in my freshman biology class, I immediately clung to this topic, fascinated by what this technology was capable of. But most importantly, the extent to which this could negatively impact the future of American society. I went on to, not only, write a research paper on this topic my sophomore year, but also decided to argue my stance during my AP World History debate. When Junior year rolled around, I, along with my fellow AP Lang peers, were assigned the LRC Speech, in which we were asked to create an argumentative speech for both sides of a controversial issue.…

    In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…

    As of the 21st century, it is no longer controversial to believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life. While in the 16th century, a belief that life existed beyond Earth and its atmosphere may have led to a public execution (like it did for astronomer, Giordano Bruno), the same belief is held by 54% of Americans today. Given the evidence gathered through advanced space exploration and technology, the scientific community, as well as the general population, is more inclined to believe in extraterrestrial life. However, something that is more debatable, is the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.…
