Loaded Records

An arch of colored balloons marked the entrance with various carnival type games, like ring toss and Skee ball, that was spread throughout the street. Across the road was a station filled with children with butterflies and tigers painted across their faces . The smells of sugar and butter lingered through the air, while roaring Top 40’s music blasted throughout the night. The night was seemly going well, but unfortunately was cut short due to a gang threat. To further explain, a local gang heard why we were here and what we were promoting and they were not too fond of it, so they threatened to shoot everyone. We quickly disassembled all of our supplies (a cotton candy and popcorn machine, several inflatable bounce houses etc.) and loaded the buses to head back to China…

In the essay The Law, Frederic Bastiat argues how the perversion of the law affects its subjects in an adverse manner. He describes the law as, in its proper form, organized justice. The perversion of the law includes the violation of natural, or God-given, rights, which are personality (life), property, and liberty. According to Bastiat, forced government interventions like e.g. taxation are perversions of the law, since in its pursuit to help one group, it infringes on the rights of another.…

to be the more understandable fallacy and therefore more used by society. The red herring fallacy is “committed by introducing an irrelevant topic to divert attention from the original issue being discussed.” (John Chaffee, 30). This one fallacy is often used to mislead people, to distract them and to escape the situations. For example, when your boss asks you, “Why are you late to work?” so your comeback is “Oh, girl! I love your shoes, where did you buy them? I’ve been trying to get similar…

When his mother questions him, Hamlet says, "Seems, madam? Nay it is. I know not…

Lenders were able to access patients medical records then deny their application for a home mortgage, credit card, and in decision making within human resources (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2006).
