Third man argument

In Sarah E. Newton’s article, ““The Jell-O Syndrome”: Investigating Popular Culture/Foodways,” she focuses on Jell-O and the connections it has with folklore and popular culture. It begins with the argument that Jell-O has received relatively little attention for the amount of influence it has had. She claims that it is the only commercial food to cross regional and ethnic lines (Newton 250). Newton makes several bold claims at the beginning of her article. One of these claims is, “To many of us…

resentful of death, he argues, since they have wanted and practiced for it a long time (64a–68a). In this paper I shall present Socrates’ argument for this conclusion and critically evaluate it. The argument appears to commit the fallacy of equivocation. But I think Socrates’ argument can be salvaged by very slightly reformulating it. Nevertheless, the argument tacitly assumes that the soul is immortal and survives the body’s death. Without a defense of this controversial…

educational purposes, the argument of how they are teaching it tends to come up in conversation quite often. Students are being taught while reading that they can relate to Anne and the things that she is currently going through. Students tend to believe that they are facing some of the issues that Anne was forced to experience. Ultimately, leading to a false understanding of what people actually experienced throughout the Holocaust. While this is a very valid argument, many scholars argue…

In the essay “Stripped for parts” written, by Jennifer Khan the general concept she is addressing is how morbid it is for dead people and their bodies to be harvested for it organs. The way she starts the essay is by using a narrative approach, and the reason there is the narrative approach is for more effect of emotion to the readers. Her thesis statement that grabbed my attention the most was “Compared with such micro scare cures, transplants- which consist of salvaging entire organs from a…

others. Through my experience and observation, I discovered that one of the most common reasons for students to get bad grades is the idea that school is not worth their time nor their effort. A problematic perspective. I plan to construct a sound argument against this viewpoint in hopes of convincing them that school is indeed a worthwhile pursuit. I do this so that these mistaken individuals may take advantage of the opportunity to acquire valuable knowledge and experience. In doing so,…

Pinterest as a way of research and learned that depending on research topic, that Pinterest and popular sources may be an acceptable way to support an argument. These sources are what I used in my comparison to the popular sources that can be found on Pinterest. My Exploratory draft three explores how popular sources can be useful in supporting an argument: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_rmoHln OZ5V17pCnADboyjJFrMrdW0pB2ac4eGOxm00/edit?usp=sharing.

Stefan Babich in his article, “The Fall of The Female Protagonist in Kids’ Movies” writes about the idea of a female protagonist dying in the “animation war” (n. pag.). He writes about how in recent days animation movies do not have a female protagonist who isn’t the cookie cutter princess. This is very similar to the view in Amanda Marcotte’s article titled, “The Shocking Radicalism of ‘Brave’” where she talks about how “Brave” is a movie that seemed to try to fall out of the algorithm but…

Response to Racist Speech: Considering The Victim’s Story” Mari J. Matsuda addresses the topic of hate speech, and the legal rights surrounding it. She argues for the implementation of legal restrictions on hate speech. She makes the theoretical arguments that hate speech can be a causative factor for legitimate harm to individuals; she justifies the need for restrictions on hate speech by citing the various harm that can be conducted by individual that possess such speech.

change going forward, making this topic one of great importance. That being said, the question is should college athletes be considered employees of the university in which they attend? II. Student Athletes Should Be Considered Employees A valid argument that is often brought up regarding compensation of collegiate athletes is the fact of how much money and profits these colleges and universities are making solely off of the performance of their athletes. Texas A&M, the university athletic…

By appearing earnestly truthful and purely motivated, his audience and opponents will have an easier time accepting the rest of his argument – especially the reason for why Socrates engages in his inquiries. The reason for his practice is presented in the Apology as an “investigation in the service of the god” in which he finds “that those who had the highest reputation were nearly the…
