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

Christopher McCandless age twenty-two embarks on his greatest journey that will forever make him famous in his journey and death. There is the argument that Christopher was psychotic for going out into the Alaskan Wild so unprepared without any proper tools or materials. Also, Christopher should have told his parents where he was going so they would’ve known where to look for their son so he could be safer and might of had the chance to survive. What you have to understand that, Chris McCandless approached it the way he wanted to approached it because some say he is narcissistic and only does what he wants and it's true, he is but that isn't negative it's what he wants, and shouldn't we all be able to feel free to do whatever we wish. As the reader, you can pick the side you agree with and have your opinion on Chris. Christopher McCandless wasn't crazy or psychotic, but instead a true example of a person who did whatever he wanted to be filled with joy.

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,

My argument is about a family show on television called “The Fosters,” people assume this tv show is not appropriate for all ages.

Treason is a political crime committed against a state or government to which the person charged with treason owes a duty of allegiance. The dictionary defines treason as a violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of ones country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. The men signing the declaration of independence were aware of the risk they ran of committing treason against the British king. The value that defense remained to be determined in a civil war. In civil wars, every man chooses his party, but generally that side with prevails arrogates the right of treating those who are vanquished as rebels. In the weeks preceding the Declaration of Independence,

Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first

Within the last couple of decades, technology has become a huge part in everyone’s daily lives. Everyday we look at our phone almost every five minutes and when we get home we all hop on some other form of technology such as our computers or televisions. However, this is almost exactly what Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman fear. There are some truths and some falsehoods to the statements that Postman proposed such as the idea that we will begin to enjoy our oppression, we will be ruled by the very things that we love, and that we will eventually be thrown so many lies that we will seize to know what the truth is and we will be exploring both sides of these assertions.

During the "Get tough" era and the "war on Drugs" era of the late 1970's through the early 1990's, the rise of women offenders that were incarcerated was nothing short of meteoric. In 1979, one in 10 women in prison was doing time for drugs. Today, drug offenders account for more than a third of the female prison population (37.4 percent).( Chesney-Lind 1998) Therefore, the population of women being convicted of these crimes are women who would not have been incarcerated anyway (Dr. Wendy Williams personal communication 2018).

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

My son has started applying to colleges and would appreciate if you can provide a short letter of recommendation for him on a google lettehead.

Would you or someone you care bout want to die a slow painful death. Well I would hope not. There are many harmful chemicals such as nicotine which is a highly addictive drug in cigarettes. As soon as you stick the cigarette in your mouth you have nicotine in your system and it can reach the brain in under 6 seconds and cause brain damage. This is only one reason out of thousands why smoking should be illegal.

MSTT spoke with Christine and Jake on the phone because Jake had just returned home from Valley Youth House and they had begun to get into a verbal altercation.

In the quest to argue if human should become omnivores or vegetarians, there is the ethical argument of animals feeling pain because animals have a soul with a conscience (animism) or because it is the natural response to a living machine. While some may argue that it is a logical reason to think animals do not have a soul, many others argue humans have a superiority complex that exhibit apathy and indifference. By examining the moral stance of animals and practice of raising animals to kill for satisfaction, one will see that it is fine to eat meat since it does not differentiate to a human who is already built to eat meat.

The three interesting pieces for this week all point, in one way or another, to dangers of nuclear proliferations. President Barack Obama’s speech in Prague on April 5, 2009 indicated that the spread of nuclear weapons to states, not deemed capable of handling these weapons, made the current state of affairs on the international stage unstable. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed piece, former US Secretary of States, George Shultz and Henry Kissinger, together with William Perry and Sam Nunn, wrote on ridding the world of nuclear weapons through a series of outlined measures. The third piece by Michael Horowitz from 2013 makes the case that states with nuclear weapons development programs tended to harness militaristic intentions for the weapons

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.”,
