Rall's Argument Analysis

Improved Essays
As all the concepts are now better understood, according to the authors and my own personal experience, one should be able to better understand how all of these connect to each other. And the connected theme between them would be the idea of liberation from our society’s view on the system. I used to follow blindly towards the ideals of our society, and accepting the events occurring around me as the norm, but now I am my own man with my own ideals. However, that cannot be said the same for other hard-working students as they are still gambling their futures away onto society’s roulette table. The two ways into winning roulette include: betting on a color, which represent Rall’s concept of critical pedagogy, and betting on the parity of a number,

    Reporter Ronald Brownstein argues that there are four quadrants of Congress. Brownstein adheres to the idea that demographic factors that go beyond region play a powerful role in shaping each party’s representation in the House. The four quadrants of Congress, which include districts that have high levels of racial minorities and of educated whites, districts with high minority levels and low levels of white education, districts that have low minority levels and high white education levels, and districts with low minority levels and low white education, shape the impact of demography on parties in the House. The Democrats’ two greatest demographic strengths are the racial minorities and well-educated whites. While the Democrats drawing their…

    Thus, Christianity is in Schelling’s perspective the only recipient of the divine revelation that once again discloses God’s spiritual oneness to humanity. However, although he decides to prioritize a particular tradition, the result of Schelling’s exploration of monotheism is God as the unfathomable unity of the three potencies. Moreover, we have to keep in mind God’s absolute freedom as regard having or not a relationship to being, or to any form of presentation of himself. Thus, it is fair to say that in Schelling’s view God is free enough to deny himself as Trinity. Hence, on one hand the Trinity is the best presentation possible of God’s essence as it reflects the three principles in their relationship with one another and with God.…

    Lastly, the final essay in Kohl’s book, Creative Maladjustment and the Struggle for Public Education, talks about how learning to survive with only minimal moral and personal compromise in a compromised world. He argues that often at times, the failure of the schools and teachers is pinned on the students, by dividing the students into roles. Whether they are good or bad, intelligent or dumb, have high or low potential; Kohl feels that with maladjustment of a curriculum, these labels that are placed on children can be torn…

    Before significant change in the Indigenous incarnation system, there needs to be a shift in the jurisdictional control of Indigenous affairs. There are many different Indigenous nation that exist in Canada with “diverse governmental traditions, territories and aspirations” (Hogg 192) James Tully’s argument for renegotiating treaty-federalist relations is a potentially viable solution of a multitude of nations that would remain flexible and accommodating unique governmental traditions. The problem with current relations are that Aboriginal peoples have been treated as though they are a part of the federal-provincial institutional structure and are subject to the laws and jurisdiction of Canadian authority. This is ahistorical and counter to…

    Victor, you made an interesting point by connecting the founding of the constitution to a modern day problem. I believe that it strengthens your argument, but it isn’t strong enough to stand alone. I believe Rachael is right in saying your argument isn’t as strong as it could be. For example, you could have provided examples from executive order 9066, or some external source. By doing this, you will be able to make your argument strong and convey your point in a much more effective…

    Within this essay, I will argue that Galen Strawson’s basic argument, presented in Your Move: The Maze of Free Will, is correct about the impossibility of ultimate moral responsibility. I will do this by first explaining the basic argument as proposed by Strawson, then raising an objection to it concerning the distinction between the self and the way you are by denying the second premise. And finally, I will be refuting the objection. Strawson’s basic argument can be boiled down to the simple notion that one cannot be ultimately morally responsible. He claims that anything you do in any circumstance is an effect of who you are, and the way you are.…

    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).…

    Women around the world never get a break from working so hard. One woman, author Jessica Grose, wrote “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier,” published in 2013 by the New Republic.

Grose builds up her credibility by using personal experiences in her life, citing statistics, and also using some emotional appeals. In her conclusion, she uses a pathos appeal but fails to strengthen her argument by using humor.…

    The Rogerian Argument, coming from Carl Rogers’ theory, is an effective analysis within written arguments. Essentially, it involves adopting the role of a once therapist to aid in solving or coming to a compromise of an issue. The passage “Letter to a Southern Baptist Minister” written by Edward O. Wilson, argues that religion and science could potentially join together. The author uses restatement, which just manipulates the words of the speaker to change their understanding. He proves his point by not confronting his opponent in an adversarial argument.…
