Argumentative Analysis

In arguing that anti-Confederate southerners played a central role in Confederate defeat, Freehling shifts historical debate to ground that is at once familiar and novel. Historians such as Drew Gilpin Faust and Paul Escott have identified internal disaffection as the primary cause of Confederate defeat while Gary Gallagher has suggested that whites in the Confederacy maintained their support for the government even as military losses ended the war.[1] The South vs. the South expands the scope of inquiry, looking beyond internal fissures within the Confederacy to the divisions in broader southern society. In Freehling's telling, anti-Confederate whites undermined the Confederacy by remaining outside the nation while slaves sapped Confederate

Mr Campbell Newman was a popular lord mayor as a member of the Liberal Party, who served the Queensland government for three years from 2012 – 2015 (Lewis, 2015). In the recent 2015 Queensland state election, Newman was heavily punished by the public voters of Queensland as a result of treating the public servants unfairly by cutting jobs in contrast to his promises. He also claimed that there would be no forced redundancies and that he would try to lower the unemployment rate, yet these promises were never met. In support of this, the following essay argues that Campbell Newman didn’t interfere with the free market economy of Queensland, which can be beneficial for consumers in many ways because there is no government intervention. Instead,

Nicholas Carr, the author of the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” illustrates various ways that the internet is negatively affecting our brains. He explains how people are growing dependent on technology every day, and he claims that the internet is a resource that can be used for anything, including reading and learning. According to Carr, the internet distracts people from the real world and it is a waste of time. He writes that the media is a shortcut to information and it is making people get used to having information quickly and conveniently. The author states that Google and the internet are trying to replace our brains with an artificial brain that can be faster in some contexts. Moreover, Carr’s article sparked debate for others to research the topic, thus creating an ongoing debate whether we are weakening our brain when it comes to internet searches. Overall, Google and the internet in general are, for the most part, helpful with the information they offer, the communication they make possible, and the virtually limitless technology they provide.

Lindeen takes the perspective of gun control away from the people. He says the regulation of gun control does not need to be through gun control itself, but through the actions leading to the gun control. Lindeen states in his paper “ sloganeers make the concept of gun control or no control an easy thing to grasp and causes easy thoughts” (1659-1660). He looks at both interpretations of gun control and states there are other ways to help control violence then just taking away guns. According to him one of the problems is people do not know much about the data or the statistics. People only go with the facts they grew up with. People tend to not go on the computer and look up statistics about guns and deaths by guns. He also states the information

Our society has made Googling a phrase. We turn to Google to solve our problems instead of turning to God. We trust a website more than our creator. We tell our peers, just Google it, when they have a question. Google has become a god.

I found Chimamanda Adichie’s discussion of the concept of a single story absolutely fascinating. It was a fresh, intuitive perspective—truly, a brilliant way of defining and articulating the idea and power of a singular perspective and its inherent pitfalls. The danger of the single story lies in its tendency to paint a limited, one-dimensional picture. Rather than exploring the diverse, complex, and multi-dimensional aspects of an individual, race, nation, place, or whatever topic is being discussed, the single story provides a narrow, “flat” perspective. It taints the message or context by conveying a fractured view; it predisposes the audience to bias, misconceptions, and in some cases, abject ignorance.

America’s use of atomic weapons against Japan, usually have been classified as “revisionists” and the original revisionist argument maintained that the atomic bomb was used primarily to intimidate the Soviet Union in order to gain the upper hand in Eastern Europe and to keep Moscow out of the war in the Far East. The national strategy of the US was to stop Russia from being the dominant power in East Asia regardless of the actions of Americans to Japan. Henry Stimson on May 14 and 15 in year 1945, wrote in his diary ‘Diary Entries’, that the use of the atomic bomb gave the United States big superiority over the Soviet Union. ‘‘I called it a royal straight flush and we mustn't be a fool about the way we play it. They can't get along without our help and industries and we have coming into action a weapon which will be unique.’’- he

Video games can provide a plethora of benefits that other forms of Alzheimer’s cannot replicate easily. Video game treatment for Alzheimer’s is split into two categories—active video games and non-active video games. Active video games, or exergames, are those that have participants moving around while playing the game, such as when playing on the Wii or virtual reality; on the other hand, non-active video games are the opposite of exergames, such as platformers, puzzle games, or others that do not have the participant moving around a play space. There is evidence supporting both types of video games as effective forms of treatment for Alzheimer’s disease; for instance, in Stanmore et. al’s article, the researchers discuss how active video games “improved executive functions, affectional processing and visuospatial skills” (“The effect of active video games”).

Waite and Gallagher also discuss the benefits that marriage gives to couples. Including the financial benefits, in that through specialization and by sharing incomes getting married boosts standard of living by thirty percent and this benefit is not incurred by cohabitating, as those who cohabitate do not share as much and are less committed to the wellbeing of their partner. In addition to the financial benefits, they also discuss the emotional benefits of knowing you have someone who loves you and who would take care of you. Children similarly benefit from having married parents as there are more financial resources available to help take care of them and they get to spend more time with at least one parent.
