Rogerian's Argumentative Analysis

Decent Essays
Hello Brian, I would just like to start by thanking you for your opinion it is always interesting to see how other people look at the same issue. When you stated that, “common decency has been replaced with a self-serving mentality and entitlement attitude” I knew you would have a well thought out discussion because this is very true. The point you made when quoting Ecclesiastes 3:7, “a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak” I however think this is a time for Frederick to be silent. I think that Frederick did nothing to protect his invention and there fore lost it to his professors. Even if Frederick has the slight possibility of proving this is his idea, the Bible says in (Proverbs 20:3 NIV) “It is to one’s

    Since the conception of Disney, Disney has maintained a consistent canon that expresses traditional forms of gender; from its debut release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) to its box office hit Frozen (2013). These films tend to have female protagonists, following their journey into adulthood vis-à-vis the idea of “love.” It was not until 2006 when Disney began to collaborate with Pixar to create films that challenge traditional notions of gender within a progressive society—shifting from a traditional “conservative” to progressive “modernist” ideology. Ken Gillam and Shannon R. Woods argue, as titled in their essay, a “Post-Princess Model of Gender: The New Man in Disney/Pixar,” which highlights the arrival of the “beta-male” who challenges the infamous alpha-male.…

    Due to the Confederation government’s inability to collect taxes from the states, one of the most effective ways for states to pay their debts was to give up their western land holdings to the national government. Therefore, North Carolina, in 1783, gave up their western lands that are now known as East Tennessee. Settlers flooded this area as a new chance. When the land was finally ceded to the national government, the settlers and speculators kept their private property rights in the region.…

    Clifford and James are two philosophers who have contradicting opinions on whether having sufficient evidence is always necessary to believe in something. Where Clifford believes you cannot believe in anything without sufficient evidence, James believes that if the evidence doesn’t point in one way or another, it is justified to believe something based on our will. I will be arguing that James’ side is indeed correct. In James’ paper, he provides concrete evidence as to why his opinion is correct.…

    The Supreme Court, as Justice Madison puts it, is the Supreme interpreter of the law, and all laws that are not constitutional must be strike down. Brandeis also thinks this way. He thinks the interpreter of the law has supervisory powers. They must be impartial and not allow a citizen or government official to break the law. If citizens break the law, then the appropriate punishment applies according to the statutes; however, if the government breaks the law, then sanctions applies to uphold the integrity of the law.…

    Previous studies suggest that it is relatively easy to change memories, especially in children, with misinformation. However, they do not test how difficult it is to plant or completely erase memories. Researchers Kathy Pezdek and Chantal Roe wanted to find out whether psychologists could generalize the findings supporting the idea that children’s memories were highly susceptible to change with implantation and erasing, which would have further lessened the reliability of children’s testimonies in abuse cases. Pezdek and Roe tested the hypothesis that implanting or erasing memories in children was easy, which was generalized from the already proven claim concerning changing memories. The hypothesis seems to be reasonable, as forming or forgetting…

    Dorsey suggests that students are eager to create new enterprises so they can receive the title of founder. While these new enterprises may be successful, they are too limited to really make an impact on changing the cause. Without proper investment into a lager enterprise the smaller enterprise had less money to invest in making a larger scale transformation to a cause. Dorsey encourages those who want to be entrepreneurs to bring their creative knowledge to make innovations to preexisting enterprises. By investing an individual's energy into an already well known enterprise, the enterprise will be able to make a larger impact to the cause.…

    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.…

    In traditional western discussion of the apostle Paul – and more specifically his letters to the church in Corinth – the viewpoint that he directly led to a discrimination of women in Christianity often arises. While proponents of this line of thinking can certainly make a convincing argument, when adding historical context into the conversation, the issue becomes less black and white. The passages that traditionally dominate discourse on this topic typically include Paul’s argument for a woman’s veil, her place in a household, and her rights in a place of worship. At first glace these issues certainly lean heavily against Paul. However, applying crucial components into the understanding of the apostle’s writing begin to reveal him as somewhat…
