An Inconvenient Truth

In 2007 Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize and in his acceptance speech, he urges people to think and act on climate change. He uses a lot of pathos or emotion in his speech to create the urgency of climate change. During most of his speech, Gore uses a lot of words that excite emotion to get people to want to change. He effectively uses pathos throughout his whole speech. Unfortunately, he is not as effective with logos (logic) and ethos (his credibility). Gore starts off with an anecdote…

In “The Other Inconvenient Truth”, Charles Blow discusses “soft white supremacy”(Blow) and how it leads to the events such as what happened in Charlottesville.

Objectivity is important for ideological and practical reasons: so that what we believe in has value and can be reproduced despite a change in circumstances. Objectivity also refers to the ability of the subject to gather knowledge about the world around her without adding personal bias, opinion and belief. Thus the belief in the existence of objective knowledge or so-called truth,…

Tom and Gatsby are both dishonest and deeply flawed men who commit consistent shows of indiscretions. For example, Tom condemns Daisy’s affair, but does not have the decency to be discreet about his own. Gatsby’s shady business dealings with Wolfsheim and illicit ways of acquiring wealth can, without a doubt, compare to Tom’s unscrupulous character. Both Tom and Gatsby lie and cheat, but Tom does it for the sole purpose of self-indulgence, while Gatsby does what he does in pursuance of his…
