Debating

usage of the first person narrative, “The argument, in its simplest form, will be that we love race—we love identity—because we don’t love class.”(Michaels). As Michaels designates the majority of society is extremely under the poverty line and when debating financial inequality only those who are suffering the most will closely pay attention. Unlike the first class, the higher class will also be able to figure out because as he emphasizes, “Survey after Survey has shown, Americans are very…

The article was published in October of 2010 and the article discusses life after high school for the students who were considered popular. The project discusses perceived popularity and relational aggression.

One of the most popular foods in America is the hotdog sandwich, but recently there has been some concern on what should it be called. People on social media have been debating about the fact on whether a hotdog should be called a sandwich or not. In an article published by The Inquisitr, it is looking like this issue has heated up even more this week. A lot of people would agree that it could be called a sandwich since it is meat that is wrapped inside a bread. Technically, one can indeed call…

My debate coach tells me there must be some reason we, as debaters, choose to take entire weekends off to be uncomfortable and “competitively stressed.” He says, if not for some strong pull, traveling nationally on Wi-Fi disabled charter buses just wouldn’t make sense. In a group of debaters, coordination of group activities based on the foundation of compromise is difficult. Strong opinions manifest in the trivial matters, like pizza, or the more critical, like hosting our high school…

It always seems to be the case that if one side is arguing for one thing when the other is out of power, then as soon as the group comes into dominance than they do the exact thing they were arguing against. Freedom of Speech doesn’t mean that you can say whatever you want in the mists of only like-minded people, and the fact that either side has said that is idiotic. The fact that Reagan bashed liberals on Berkeley is just as bad as the heckling war we see today. The thought that somehow it…

The idea of monsters have played a role in society since the beginning of civilization. In the novel Grendel, I believe Grendel is useful for the humans in the novel. As the dragon said in chapter() Grendel is the monster that makes the human think, plot, and become smarter. Grendel provides the fear that makes the human evolve, by stimulating them to change or adapt. It would be hard to say whether the world would be better with or without Grendel. Humans can be monsters themselves, they do…

Born and raised in a small and poor village in southern Vietnam, where a secondary student can stab his friends in a fight, where most parents want their children to go fishing instead of going to school, I soon understood how essential education is in life as I was a child. Therefore, since my elementary school, I have always tried my best to get the most from education, even in study or extracurricular activities. During my life, not only did I gain several national, provincial prizes in…

Unlike Spinoza, Hobbes, or “men of letters” during the French Revolution, Locke was neither a scholarly type nor an armchair theorist; he was more pragmatic, debating and drawing up tomes of political philosophy for real-life purposes. Locke in himself is a man of contradictions. His theories are inconsistent, and some of them fail to reconcile with reality while sometimes they even comprise some contradictions. As any Locke scholar would know, in 1660s, Locke was still a young absolutist: he…

The open skull represents how Socrates was open-minded. Socrates knew his views were not commonly accepted, but listened to objections with an open-mind, he found ways to look at all sides of an argument, and acknowledge that his opinions could be false. Contrarily, the small skulls are closed, they represent closed-minded people, people who have firm ideas and are difficult to argue with. The two skulls screaming illustrates their anger upon seeing the dove because the dove represents his ideas…
