Marijuana is illegal in the majority of the United States and does not have as many harmful effects as cigarettes, so it would make more sense to stop cigarette businesses for good and make smoking cigarettes against the law. There are many counterarguments to this subject. Smokers may say how the United States is a free country and smokers are allowed to do what they want. They could also argue how they can spend their money and time…

probably wouldn’t as a result of God. If choices are not being made on the “free” account of a person, without a higher force influencing them, then it goes to say that they do not have free will or they are not practicing their free own will. A counterargument for this point would be that not all individuals believe in God, so if they don’t believe in him, they are not persuaded to make a certain choice over what they want. Thus, those who choose to believe in him, relinquish their free will…

In addition to arguing the denunciation of prostitution by DCT I will examine problems with DCT, such as arbitrariness, emptiness, and the abhorrent commands problem. Moreover, I will also look at counterarguments, for example that liberation, rather than degradation, comes from prostitution. Many types of prostitution exist, making the debate on the morality of it not as black and white as it may seem. Escorts are paid to accompany an individual to an…

Daniel J. Flynn’s argument of why “Football Does a Body Good” is extremely unconvincing. The evidence that he presents throughout the essay fails to debunk the counterargument of how dangerous football can be. The essay is full of statistics and examples of how football can positively benefit the readers- unfortunately all the facts that are shown are ineffective. He unsuccessfully argues toward the benefit of football by failing to present appeals to reason, having a lack in his credibility,…

In the article, “Why are Police Disciplining Students?” (The Atlantic, October 29, 2015) written by Seth Stoutan and Josh Gupta-Kagan, argue that police should only handle matters that pose a real threat to the school and the surrounding community.

Even though it is plausible to argue that the Great Society is somewhat based off of the New Deal, it is false to think that the Great Society and the New Deal shared the same goals. For the most part, the Great Society did not resemble the New Deal in its goals and policies because both sets of domestic programs had different agendas and purposes. A major…
