Don Sharp Argument Analysis

Gerald Graff is a professor of English and education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Graff, in his essay, emphasizes the importance for instructors to teach and increase enjoyable courses that students shall truly understand. Graff assures that all kids have hidden intellectualism trying to emerge from within, and as a teacher he feels partly accountable to help those kids develop their competencies in educational work. The essence of Graff’s argument is for students to know that intellectualism lurks within them all, and they need to implement their potential at school. Furthermore, he enriches the essay based totally on his own life experiences, along with his hidden intellectualism, while he attended school during the anti-intellectualism

A strong written argument is supported by several methods that are used to legitimize the author’s position as well as to discredit any counterargument brought forth. The techniques include introducing a counterargument and weakening it’s position with evidence. Providing legitimate academic research such as statistics as well as anecdotes from scholars on the given subject can reinforce the author’s argument. Another important method used is requiring the reader to critically think about a subject brought forth by challenging their preconceived ideas about a topic. This may also include using hidden assumptions that use implicit statements which have a certain opinion such as “If I follow the rules, good things will happen”, this is common

Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.

Nicholas Carr Claimed that the internet affects our information processing. Carr backed up his argument by speaking with a wide array of educated and reputable people like friends, colleagues, a blogger, GMU and a professor making his argument validity greater. Carr admits that he and his friends also; have the same problem by saying that he was appealing to emotions by using Ethos.

Peter Singers, Famine, Affluence, and Morality, focuses on his solution to world hunger and poverty. This solution is as follows: “If it is in our power to prevent something very bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything morally significant, we ought to, morally, do it” (Singer 246). He goes on to say that we should prevent suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care, if it is within our ability to do so. This is known as his “weak 2” argument. Singer uses his drowning child case to try and prove his case. He claims that if you saw a child drowning in a pond you would jump in and try and save him, because the moral significance of letting a child die is greater than ruining the new clothes you bought by

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

“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” Not really, but times were getting tough. The year is 1858, and sectionalism is on the rise. States trying to determine what they can do and what the Federal government can't do is causing a small amount of friction. Alright, a lot of friction. States rights was a huge issue, causing disagreements in areas such as slavery, tariffs, nullification, even things as seemingly small as road maintenance. It seemed everything was falling apart.

In document 1, George Kennan arguments are that the USRR sees capitalism as an enemy, therefore, it cannot coexist with the rest of the world. He states that the Soviets want to dominate the world. as a result, he proposed a policy of containment where the United States and its allies should find ways to reduce the spread of communism around the world.

Graff and Birkenstein argue in chapter 14 that instead of asking, "What is the author trying to say?" ask students to provoke discussions by asking questions such as "What is motivating the writer's arugment?" in order to better approach reading. Because of this, discussions tended to be "far livelier" and helped students identify a response to an argument. When we are not able to find what the writer is responding to, we have to infer with clues the writer provides in their text. This is important because usually a writer assumes that a reader is familiar with what they are trying to say. So when we try to figure out what is motivating these writers, we have to ask ourselves if the author is responding to an argument. Doing this can help us

In my search to find an argument for omnivores, I found, despite typing in the exact opposite, that pro veganism articles outnumbered most them. Nevertheless, I discovered a piece about reverting from veganism on the blog of Aaron Moritz. The author’s reason for his renascent into his former meat-eating ways were primarily for health purposes. Ironically, health was a motive for converting to his vegan lifestyle. Differing is Moritz’s argument for as to why he completely renewed his sentiments on consuming meat.
