Alex Salmon's Argumentative Analysis

This implies that the process of Scottish independence if the referendum succeeds could eventually become very

President Lincoln proposed a lenient plan to bring the defeated Confederate states to join the Union, which was known as the Ten Percent Plan. He believed that being more lenient to Confederate states would convince them to surrender sooner, and would speed up the healing process, which he thought was needed for a solid reconstruction of the Union. The plan consisted of forgiving all Southerners, except the high-ranking officers and officials, who would pledge loyalty to the Union, and as soon as 10% of the state’s voters would pledge oath to the Union, the state could call a convention and as a result could form a government and apply for federal recognition.

The civil war did reduce sectional antagonist a huge amount but it also made the United states One Nation. The war was a test for the nation or in this case ANY nation for those dedicated to see if they could endure and a final resting place for those who died and for the nation to live. There was division between the north and the south which eventually brought upon the Brutal Civil War. In president Andrew John’s Amnesty proclamation, the Union forgave the confederate and made them swear on an oath to faithfully support, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States. “The union eventually showed that they had no “antagonist” against the south which made the United States One nation once again. The soldiers that risked their lives

An Arizona Rep. named Matt Salmon made what seemed like an ordinary visit to a local elementary school to explain to the kids how a bill becomes a law, when a couple of comments got him in some trouble with parents. Salmon made comments about Iran's nuclear deal and young suicide bombers to a bunch of second- and third-grade students at San Tan Charter School. While the comments were cut short by both the principle and a teacher, it didn't change the effect it had one some kids. The principle sent out an email to the forty-five students who attended the session and encouraged upset families to reach out to the office. So far, three families have done just that. To correct his mistake, he not only personally called a few of the upset parents

In 2014, the people of Scotland voted to determine if Scotland should be independent from the United Kingdom or not. The vote was 55% no to 45% yes. It was very close, and furthermore, there is talk of another referendum possibly coming up soon. This debate started when the Scottish National Party took over

“It was instead offered continued union with the UK, but with another name. It was offered the same shoddy, unicameral devolved Parliament. The same bankrupt political parties. The same Head of State; the same currency; the same ongoing treaties; the same rotten banking & economic system” (Raeburn). Raeburn believes the status quo needs to be shaken and continuing the same practices are not truly change. Many Scottish people understood this. Voting “No” as not truly a gage of whether Scotland anted independence rather a rejection of continuing the same practices under a different name. That is not true separation. For this reason Raeburn and other critics believe that the independence vote will continue to fail until true change is sought after in order to create a thriving separate country.

Even in the 1700s when Scotland joined England as a political union, the Scottish Parliament dissolved, and the representatives were sent to the Parliament in Westminster. Today, Scotland maintains less than 70 seats in Parliament, while England has over 500. According to those voting yes, becoming independent would give Scotland the chance to have a more representative government. Voting yes would also improve Scottish economy with a smaller income gap, because the United Kingdom has a large one. This is partially due to the UK’s assumption of funds profited from oil in Scotland. As an independent nation, Scotland would be able to keep the funds from it’s own oil rather than have it account for the UK’s money, and refine public finances. With more jobs as a result of rising energy and electricity, the Yes Scotland campaign along with Alex Salmond, the group’s leader and former leader of the Scottish National Party, argued that Scotland would be able to efficiently lower the wage gap if

Within the pro-choice world there are many issues that are discussed like abortion, the instant where life begins and the use of contraceptives. This article will focus on not only the issue of using of contraceptives, but specifically the distribution of oral contraceptives (“the pill”) to teenage girls without their parent’s consent.

On September 18, 2014, Scotland held a vote to decide if they were to become an independent country or continue being a part of the United Kingdom. The people have spoken, and they have spoken to reject independence. This close poll has shocked many people around the world, including the people who live in Scotland. But this poll brought a new realization of what the people were asking for and what they wanted, and upset the ones that still wanted and voted for independence. Thus forming the two perspectives: those who support independence for Scotland, and those whose who support the rejection of independence.

In this essay I will discuss both sides of the referendum of Scotland and firstly short about the current situation, and then finish it off with a conclusion. The issue of the Scottish independence has been highly discussed for a couple of years. The reason for that are after the Scottish national party won the election in 2011, their main goal has been to make Scotland independent. Now it is up to the Scots to choose whether they want to separate themselves from the United Kingdom or if they want to remain a part of it. This decision could change Scotland for eternity and entirely.

Three main points David Munn talked about include how to make yourself stand out on a resume, how to make sure your resume is industry appropriate, and how to correct and make your resume great. David Munn’s presentation over all was very helpful and the information he gave to us can be used and applied in the near future.

This new piece of technology can be used just about anywhere coming from pool sides, trail sides, to beachside. Nothing measures up to the Buckshot's ultra-portable, tougher-than-you-are rugged design, and with the Buckshot 2.0. This mini sonic boom can ride shotgun on your pack, strapped to your handlebars, your ski pole, your wingsuit, or the roof of your car, even if that makes no sense. That's not the point. The point is you can take it, and your soundtrack, wherever you go.

The reason this result came about was because of all the disadvantages there is to succeeding. The prime reason Scotland voted to not succeed was because unity is strength. Being a part of a strong, rich, influential state such as the United Kingdom gives them a global presence. If independent, Scotland's voice on the world stage would decrease tremendously. Another large reason is the United Kingdom will cut them off financially. Since Scotland is a part of the UK, the country gives them money so they can sustain themselves. Without that connection, the UK has no reason to shell out money to them. This is an economic gamble to Scotland, especially in times of recession and rising

In the year 2014, the nation of Scottish people within the United Kingdom were not satisfied with their representation in the British Government. A referendum was proposed by the newly elected Scottish national party (SNP) in an effort to form a new state, and send a message to the British that they were not pleased. Annabel Goldie, who was a leader of the party in favor of independence said the following, “More than ever Scotland needs a party which will stand up to the excesses of nationalism and bring reality to Scottish politics…We will be driven by one consideration: what is in the best interests of Scotland.” (Carrell) At the time, the issue was hotly debated and scrutinized by scholars and government

On 18 September 2014, voters in Scotland rejected proposals for Scotland to become an independent country outside of the United Kingdom (UK) in a referendum on Scottish independence. (BBC, 2014) The referendum was won by the “No” campaign on a margin of 55.3% No 44.7% Yes on a record high turnout of 84.59%. (BBC, 2014 / UK Political Info, 2017 / Jeavens, 2014) Substantial electoral gains for the pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) and the more pro-UK Conservative Party in Scotland since the result of the 2014 independence referendum has challenged the long established dominance of the UK Labour Party in Scotland, (Hassan, 2017: 375) which has in turn begged the question which this essay will explore on whether the 2014
