factors and that it can only be effective if these two factors are taught synergistically; they are mutually exclusive and one without the other would be disastrous to the student. Dewey creates an effective argument through the use of inductive reasoning, which provides his audience of teachers, administrators, and anyone in a position…

Also, as Hume believed that cause and effect are discoverable not by a priori reasoning, but instead, through human experience of events in the world, his theory of causation focuses primarily on the contents of the category Matters of Fact (Hume, 2007, p. 20; Coventry, 2010, p. 90). Hume begins his discussion of cause and effect in…

or you do not know what something (x) is. 2) The second premise follows from this, if you already know what x is, investigating x is unnecessary and inquiry into x is pointless. 3) Thirdly, if you don’t know what x is inquiry is impossible. The reasoning behind this premise is that since you cannot identify x when you see it, and thus would be incapable of investigating it since you would have no source to direct your investigation upon in the first place – and therefore inquiry is impossible.…

Fallacies are made in various arguments and speeches throughout history, in order to win an argument. In The march of the flag, given by Albert J. Beveridge, there are fallacies detected throughout the speech. Fallacies are incorporated throughout the speech in order to have the audience agree with Beveridge’s views on the superiority of white Christian Americans compared to other citizens in other countries who practice other religions and worship deities. In the opening of the speech,…

objective is to create an emotional connection with the audience or create trust with a speaker or writer, rhetoric is used in almost all of these situations. In “Nickel and Dimmed” by Barbara Ehrenreich, Ehrenreich employs rhetoric to create logic and reasoning, to create an emotional connection with the audience, and to build trust with the audience in order to support the claim that it is basically impossible to live off of minimum wage. By using these rhetorical tools, the audience feels…

1. Introduction. Ernst Mayr identifies the ‘One Long Argument’ in The Origin of Species (“Origin’) as a compound theory of two independent activities: modification over time and diversification in geographical space (Mayr 86). This paper will focus on the second element of Darwin’s compound theory, species diversification in geographical space as argued by Jerry Coyne in Why Evolution is True. My thesis is twofold: First, Coyne incorporates Darwin’s geographical space theory into four…

Most people’s automatic reaction when thinking about their future occupation is to consider what they love doing to be the top priority. However, Gordon Marino, professor of philosophy at St. Olaf College and editor of “The Quotable Kierkegaard”, believes that this should not be the case. He wrote on the subject in his article titled “A Life Beyond ‘Do What You Love’”, which was published in The New York Times on May 17, 2014. His purpose in writing this article was to express his thoughts on…

When deciphering the fallacies of each statement, one must decide which are true or false. I chose numbers 1,2,12,`4,`6,18,23,26,27 and 28. When each statement is read. You have to think about which ones are subjected to fallacies, based on illogicalness, inattentions, concupiscent attachment or one’s beliefs. The ones that I chose were all fallacies except for one. It was number 1 in the textbook. In number one, effective proclamation about “abortion is murder”, is indeed an emotional…

In my policy speech, I wrote about teen unemployment and how it is so low. I included information on why teen unemployment is low, and my solutions for it. As for which type of argument that I uses happens to be Argument1. Argument1 refers to the claims that people make. My claim was the low rate of teen unemployment. Also, in Argument1 you have to find and explain solutions for the problems that are being claimed. My solution to the problem of teen unemployment was quite simple. These solutions…

topic under debates is on the subject on Human nature. In the given paper, I am going to compare Cleanthes’ and Philo’s views on Deity and reflect upon their disagreements on the inductive argumentation, and provide the explanation of deductive reasoning in Descartes’ “Meditations of first philosophy”. The key concept of a worldview promoted by Cleanthes states that God can be beheld via one’s observations and the process of thinking. He is an advocate of a so-called “natural religion”.…
