This paper, after addressing some issues with pro-choice arguments, will attempt to prove that abortion is impermissible in at least cases disregarding rape. The first argument from analogy to observe is the person seeds argument. This argument raises the question that if prevention methods are used to avoid a child, then just because the woman gets pregnant, doesn 't mean it is her responsibility to care for the child until birth. The argument poses this statement inaccurately to the real…

In his speech Glaucon introduces us to the argument stating his beliefs on why do people created and follow justice. Most of his argument is based on the idea that “the badness of suffering it [injustice] far exceeds the goodness of doing it [justice]” (358 e). He believes that as a consequence of this fact people come to an agreement not to do injustice to avoid suffering it. The people that enter this agreement tend to have experienced both sides, doing injustice and receiving injustice or do…

For many years, the debate on if college athletes should be paid for publicity has raised controversy throughout society. According to the NCAA, Division I and Division II schools provide $2.7 billion in athletic scholarships annually to more than 150,000 student athletes (“Recruiting Fact Sheet,” 2016).

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…

that Stein makes is to argue against evolution by taking a look at cells and the argument of irreducible design. Where would the information in our genes and cells have come from if there was not a designer back at the very beginning? Because of the need for both DNA and RNA and all of their accompanying proteins to appear at one time, we must deduce that they had to have all appeared at once. Even taking an argument as simple as the aforementioned, why are we not allowed to even debate the…
