Argument from authority

called “Tie the Knot”, by W. Bradford Wilcox. This argument was written by a sociologist, who argues that with a change in social policy, individuals will be more inclined to marry at a younger age. He states that in turn, this can create a “stronger country overall” (585). As I read through this essay, I noticed that there are many ways in which the author is effective in his argument. The three methods that the author uses to create a strong argument are ancillary graphics, references to…

I once attended a persuasive speech in high school that attempted to persuade me to participate in other religious rituals. The woman that was presenting used many methods. She tried to change my beliefs by referring to different religious books, for instance, Allah. She also tried to change my attitude by making me feel as if I am being “stuck up” and “closed minded”. She wanted me to explore my options and branch out on my own other than following my parent’s beliefs. My religion is Christian…

Premise one In the first premise Colin Harper from Advance Australia has tried to ‘appeal to novelty’. They claimed that the wearing of the Burqa is a medieval practice and Australia is a modern country, therefore it should not be allowed. This is fallacious as the age of the practice has no implication of its properness in the Modern Australia. Also Harper claims that the Burqa “represents the repression domination of women”. Harper mentions that equality is one of Australia’s core values and…

It means, too, conforming to those large, vague, ill-defined collections of people who may never think of themselves as having a collective mind because they are aware of differences of opinion-but which, to people from the outside, from another culture, seem very minor. The underlying assumptions and assertions that govern the group are never discussed, never challenged, probably never noticed, the main one being precisely this: that it is a group mind, intensely resistant…

Looking again at the situation at the crossroads, CPT Winters responds to a situation in which he has very little information with quick decisive action. From the outset, when he becomes aware of the presence of an enemy force, he seeks to gain as much information as possible, and complete his mission of neutralizing this enemy force with the information he has available to him. He initially attacks what…

During 17th century New Spain there where three institutional authorities that slaves could turn to in case of abuse: their owner, the church, and the crown. The owner often times dismissed the issue and often times beat the slave for claiming that they were being abused. Other times the slaves were forced to go to the church, otherwise known as the Inquisition. There the slaves often renounced Christianity, committing a blasphemous crime and therefore gaining the churches attention. Ultimately…

various innocent beings. Reverend Parris highly regards his reputation more than standing up to the authority. Judge Danforth wrongly condemns and hangs townspeople, yet refuses to admit his faults. By contrast, John Proctor is an ashamed lecher, but prioritizes saving his wife and saving the unjustly convicted people who are still alive. Throughout The Crucible, Arthur Miller utilizes corrupt male authority figures…

1. What do experts say about executives staying very close to the core of their business? Should senior executives manage client accounts and projects? Delegation is “the assignment of responsibility or authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities” It is one of the core concepts of management leadership. Some experts advocate delegation to include all aspects of managers’ task and responsibility because executive will have the time and…

As he describes it, to live from politics is to rely on it as a career and a source of income, whereas to live for politics is to participate in the governmental process due to an inner passion for it, as well as, most importantly, to be able to participate actively without worrying about a career and the bare necessities of life, as they are wealthy enough to be free from such constraints. Initially, Arendt’s argument parallels Weber’s, as she discusses the ancient Greek…
