Dialectical tensions are important to practice and understand in order to maintain healthy relationships. There are three that are the most useful in my everyday life. They are autonomy verses connection, novelty verses predictability, and openness verses protection. I also use the three strategies of cyclic alternation, segmentation, and disqualifying to ease the dialectical tensions in life. I think it is important to know how to understand and work through these dialectical tensions in order to maintain healthy relationships.

Allow me to describe to you the travesty of our nation’s affairs for immigration. Within the past year, countless of men have trespassed into our nation for habitation. Criminal in behavior, these vagrants seek to attain the rights that are granted by our glorious nation to law-abiding citizens, by circumventing the law. May I implore you to realize that, while we reside in a nation of immigrants, our immigration stories do not consist of delinquency and theft. I cannot fathom a United States which does not act as a beacon of hope to people wishing to migrate for a better life, yet we cannot be the light to these potential citizens if our nation becomes tarnished by the presence of these criminals who steal the chance of the American dream

In the paper, “Human Freedom and the Self” Roderick M. Chisholm offers his theory of human freedom and defends it against a couple objections. One of the objections we will talk about which is the second objection is connected to the concept of immanent causation, where causation is by an agent, he argues how the statement “the prime mover unmoved” (page 391) has been subject to difficulty. Chisholm explains immanent causation as being an agent causing the event A to happen, but although the agent is causing A to happen the agent is not moved by anything. The argument to this objection is that “there must be some event A, which is caused not by any other event but by the agent” (page 391). Well since A was not cause by another event then the agent couldn’t have produced anything either to bring A about, so “what did the agent’s causation consist of” (page 391). Also another point that was made in the objection was the question “what is the difference between A’s just happening and the agents causing A to happen” (page 391). Chisholm responds by saying that there is a difference between man causing A and an event causing A. The two are not the same because transeunt causation is connected to determinism, which makes the train of events, happen and immanent causation as he explains it is when the agent causes the event. He then sums up his answer by saying the reason “lies in the fact that, in the first case but not the second, the event was caused by the man” (pg. 391) He

Awakening or to awake means “to wake up; to be or make alert or watchful” (Webster 23). This is what Edna Pontellier experienced in The Awakening.

We’ve all heard of a rhetorical question. But have you heard of the rhetoric of freedom? The word rhetoric means the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. The key words in the previous sentences are “use of figures of speech” and figures of speech are known as rhetorical tropes. This is why throughout this essay you will see “rhetoric freedom” in quotations.

This selection, Letter by a Female Indentured Servant, really gives you incite as to what life was like in the 1700s as an indentured servant. (Foner, 2011) The reader can really feel the pain she is going through while she was in America trying to pay her dues for passage to what they thought was the promise land. She wanted to ensure her father really knew what kind of horrible life she was living because of the details she included like she was whipped to the degree that she now serves the animals. Apparently, you didn’t speak of the horrible things that would occur as an indentured servant because she writes to her father that she hopes he will pardon the boldness of her complaints and she also hope
