Fault

it blew up and killed over 250 sailors. Although this blowup was not anybody’s fault, the Americans immediately blamed Spain, publishing it in newspapers all over the country. Not only was this wrong because America did not have many reasons as to why this would be spain’s fault, but also because Spain immediately sent aid to help the american sailors after the explosion. Even though the explosion was not Spain’s fault, it was a huge factor that contributed to America’s decision to go war with…

Peter Elbow, in his essay “The Believing Game”, explains that when people are arguing or simply just trying to get their opinion across, the use of logic is not present. The main idea of this essay is to discuss the ways that most people do not take the time to “see” another’s opinion, but rather assumes that it is the wrong opinion. Elbow goes into detail of the concept of the believing game, which is the act of believing in another’s view. Elbow stresses the idea of logic being used in…

who had dumped him earlier that day. He was upset and depressed until he saw a beautiful young lady, which happened to be Juliet. They fell in love at first sight and died for each other near the end of the novel. The character who would be most at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet would have to be Friar Lawrence. This is because he is the one who married them off, kept their marriage as a secret from their parents, and gave Juliet the idea of drinking the fake poison.…

The Athenian democracy operated differently from today’s democracy, but not necessarily more effectively. Finley seems to argue that although the basis of democracy was a good idea, it had many flaws, and was a utopian system, designed for “perfect” people. It was not representative, as it is nowadays, but direct, meaning that all the male citizens over the age of 18 could participate on the decision making, as long as they had not lost their civil rights. However, people could very easily…

Teens are often portrayed as emotional monsters. A young person’s intense emotions and dramatic flair could also find fault in the facts that “the parts of the brain involved in emotional responses are fully online, or even more active in adults, while the parts of the brain involved in keeping emotional, impulsive responses in check are still reaching maturity” (“NIMH”)…

far between them. Chaucer’s characterization of Alyson is multi-layered and one must remain careful as there are so many twists in her personality if you focus too much on one feature, the whole image can be lost. She is strong-willed almost to a fault, uses her body to control her marital relationship, not afraid of argument against her or of confrontation.…

does not mean you should go around picking fights with people because you will obviously win. This is the point that Plato is trying to make. Gorgias also points out the fact that it is not the teacher’s fault, or the fault of the skill, if someone uses their skill for evil; it is the person’s fault. “So it is not the teachers who are wicked, nor is the art either guilty or wicked on this account, but rather, to my thinking, those who do not use it properly” (Gorgias 67.) The same can be said…

responsible with his food choices. After Gaining 300 pounds he had a heart attack and when he recovered his Dr.’s told him that he had to lose 100 pounds. But, instead he sewed the fast food companies and didn’t lose any weight. So it’s Caesar Barbers fault for gaining 300 pounds, he could have had a little idea about how fast food is bad for you. After having his heart attack he should have listened to his Dr.’s…

According to most people this was the worst PlayStation console ever made. The Ps3 did look good on the outside, but it did have a lot of faults on the inside which made it very prone to breaking. The Ps4 was built to…. just look good, this definitely ruined the system. The game quality was horrible with only a few games at 720p and only one game at 1080p which was Fight Night Champion. The…

By using the word “fault,” Quindlen insinuates that wars create much division and turmoil, the same that is associated with earthquakes. The fault lines symbolize the turbulence that comes along with war. These fault lines could be seemingly repaired, which was evident in the Americans’ united effort in World War II. Since Americans had a dominant focus on another threat…
