Arguments

Stephen A Smith’s sources come directly from the players, as a result, credibility is established. More importantly, however, the information he gains from his sources is used to support his argument and opinion. I realized this is the same case as in writing.The sources need to be credible and must flow with my argument. My improvement in this area is demonstrated by my correction from my first essay to my second. In my first essay “Better to be Daring” I stated that Icarus is merely…

The advent of television has engrossed many with its ability to transmit and receive messages ranging from entertainment to information across the world. Television has created a new medium to transmit anything, however, many think that its influence may reach farther than what most people are aware of. Information and entertainment are the most prominent forms of expression on the medium but some people seem to agree that the melding of these two ideas may influence important decisions in…

One logical fallacy that I found in his writing is Red Herring where the author use a diversionary tactic that avoids the key issues, by avoiding opposing arguments rather than addressing them. For example “The unknown evil, in this case, will not turn out to be a stuntman in a rubber suit. In this one way, we can all agree: those who mean to do us harm are real and they are among us. Now the present of the…

They hit ever angle starting with Logos and how it’s appeal effectively pushes you to agree with the logical stance of the argument, then it follows with ethos drawing from sources with unquestionable creditability, then they leave us at pathos a powerful emotional appeal of the displeasure and anger of the consumers, nobody wants to be malcontent in their shopping experience…

he could have saved time, by not having to figure out what the password was. Sherlock in response again flouts the Maxim of Relation by giving no attention to John's implicitly stated anger and warning not to use his computer. He rather rebuts the argument given by John, that his behavior was unreasonable, by simply stating that it took him a short amount of time to guess the password. With John asking Sherlock whether he guessed the password he flouts the Maxim of Manner for a third time in the…

In her essay, “All Kids Should Take Poverty 101” Donna Beegle’s main argument is on the behalf of how our educational curriculum should have some sort of poverty course as a requirement. By having a course such like this one in our curriculum, children from K-12 will have a greater knowledge of how life is in poverty. It can teach you the real definition of poverty, and get children to realize how fortunate and blessed they are. If our future children have this particular requirement in their…

With all the focus on mass shootings happing in this country, some think stricter laws on gun control would be more beneficial than what we have now, thinking that having a way to track those guns will be more beneficial to society than what we have right now. While some think that stricter restriction on gun ownership is unconstitutional, fringing on the rights of its citizens. That any changes to the laws would not make a difference to how society looks at gun control. However, I feel that…

and opinions arise from this question. Who are we to say that it is morally right or wrong? Judith Thomson has formed the people seeds analogy that supports the woman 's right over her body. Altogether, Judith Thomson has valid and controversial arguments. Thomson has proposed her people seeds analogy. Thomson says, "Again, suppose it were like this: people-seeds drift about in the air like pollen, and if you open your windows, one may drift in and take root in your carpets or upholstery"…

Whistleblowing has been a topic of discussion in business for over a hundred years. While there are federally mandated regulations in place to protect whistleblowers, some still argue that whistleblowing is wrong. The main argument of these naysayers, like Norman Bowie and Sissela Bok, is that whistleblowing is an act of disloyalty to the company. In Ronald Duska’s article Whistleblowing II, he takes opposition to this stance. Throughout his article he makes three main points: employees have no…

have no information about. They are rarely ever told the specifics of the audience, such as its opinion on the topic, the age group, the setting in which the audience might be reading, or any other specifics which would help them formulate a strong argument. Additionally the assignment is never really to persuade…
