On July 27, 2004, Barack Obama delivered a keynote address at the Democratic National Convention that catapulted him onto the national stage and decidedly set in motion the rest of his political career. In it, Obama addresses controversial topics while simultaneously maintaining an underlying theme of collaboration and common experiences. His arguments can be comprehensively analyzed following the Toulmin model of argumentation. This model consists primarily of a claim, which is the assertion the rhetor attempts to prove, supporting evidence for the claim, and a warrant connecting the evidence to the claim. Secondary elements of this model include backing supporting the warrant, the

The argument on whether or not racing is a sport or race car drivers are athletes has existed as long as racing has been around. It has been a debate that has stirred up great controversy and has divided up the fan base of all sports on this subject matter. Many people on the subject matter will pick a side but usually will not have any evidence or reasonable explanations as to why they chose that position. In “Round the Track: it might look simple, but racing takes athletic skill”, Bob Pockrass provides the reader with evidence from a “Sport Sciences” story for ESPN what a Nascar Sprint Cup driver’s body endure through out a race. In the second article “Drivers may not be athletes, but what they do is no game”, Ed Hilton provides the reader

A) Start by crafting one basic analytical argument concerning any aspect of each story. An analytical argument is an argument that helps us view the story in a new or unique way. A good analytical argument will clarify some aspect of the story or help others "make sense" of the story.

These people believe that religious conversation should be allowed to take place in a public classroom because as well as they have freedom of religion they also have freedom of expression; students need to expand their knowledge and along with that come with learning about different religions; not necessarily practicing religion but simply just conversating about it. That being said, there will always be arguments and discussions about whether or not religious conversations should be allowed in a public classroom

What do I agree with and disagree with in the texts I have analyzed? I agree that the first step is to acknowledge that we have biases, but also we need to be mentally prepared before beginning the process of changing our way of thinking as if we don’t the problem will reappear. Moreover, I agree that nature and nurture contribute to the development of prejudice thinking and that prejudice thinking hinders the thriving of an individual and a community.

I plan on encouraging religious freedom by exposing my students to different religious ideas; for example bring in members of clergy from different religious sects to simply just speak about their religion. Additionally, I would like to begin an interfaith student group that allows students of different faiths to come together, and share and reaffirm positive attitudes about different religions. Above all, I would allow students to understand that religious faith is a personal preference, and not compel students to choose a particular faith (Koppelman, 2015, p. 164). Moreover, these actions would support students feeling comfortable with an array of

In the reading the author explains how arguments are very much a part of everyday life and are simply conversations which address subjects or topics that split opinions and that a person has a different view point on compared the other people they surround themselves with. Greene explains how arguments include and consider previous conversations and discussions concerning related topics or even the same subject. The author continues by describing how to start or enter a conversation you must first show an understanding of the topic being discussed, you must be able to shape information in ways that enable you to enter the conversation and therefore can anticipate the direction the conversation will go in.

I’m a generally curious person, which might bring up the question: Aren’t we all? Yes, as humans, we cannot help but be curious about the things around us. We ask a lot of whys, which is the representation of letter Y to me. It represents curiosity, as you pronouce it “why”. On the other hand it can also portray how you make choices as one path leads to a split between, and the decision is in your hands, to choose what road you want to travel. You ask a why question, and you receive an answer, but then it is all up to you, where you want to go from there.

The use of technology in times of war, struggle, and competition can be the determinate of surviving economies. Notwithstanding that war leads to many negative outcomes in countries regarding their living conditions and adapted lifestyles of the most harsh outcome is the everlasting effect on a countries economy due to war. It is true that in times of an economic depression war can be a benefiting solution, such as World War II during the worldwide struggle of the great depression. But more often than not war can leave an enduring outcome within a country, such as Germany during World War II. When referencing warfare and technology these two topics go hand in hand. Since the beginning of warfare advancements in technology have always been the

It should concern all of us that social media allows users to insult, bully and threaten others without the fear of significant, if any, punishment or legal ramifications. While some would argue that social media is merely an outlet that should allow freedom of speech, others counter the argument with how far is too far within this constitutional freedom. Where do we draw the line? After all, the United States Constitution is clear on the matter: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I have read both passages, My arguement will be i favor of "It's Time to Let Go of Screen Fears". I believe that "It's Time to Let Go of Screen Fears" uses up to date information, for example it cites the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) updated guidelines from 2015. Meanwhile "Screen Time Limits Are Vital for Children" uses possably out of date information from 2011-2013.

In this week’s article, we anayzled an Ad, created by a company called Canada Oil Sands Community. The Ad’s main focus was on two white, attractive women- their lips barely touching, and they are embracing each other. The Ad says “In Canada lesbians are considered hot! In Saudi Arabia if you’re a lesbian YOU DIE!” then goes on to say “why buy oil from companies who don’t think lesbians are hot? “Choose equality! Choose Canadian oil!” The creator of the Ad, Robbie Picard, is gay himself, as well as Metis. The post originally was just a marketing ploy, and while issuing his apology Picard said he is glad it is drawing attention, and will take the backlash if the issue is getting to the root of the problem-which to his defence is Saudi Arabia not accepting LGBT people into their society. Picard states that “It was not my intent of demeaning women or any people of any sexual orientation.”,

In order to address religious celebrations in schools, one must address how religion should be handled in the day-to-day educational operation of a public school. The First Amendment Center provides a great guide and tips on “How to Handle Religious Holidays in Public Schools.” The article reminds educators that schools may not promote any religion, but may teach about religion. As an English teacher one cannot have their class read The Crucible without educating their students on the Puritan faith. Most freshmen in Missouri read Romeo and Juliet. To understand the true motivations of the Juliet the reader must have a basic understanding of Catholicism. The same idea is true in Social Studies. Educators cannot ignore religion, they just cannot promote it.
