Eliana Dockterman's Argument Analysis

For issue 1.4 the discussion explored the question of whether or not sexual problems should be treated pharmaceutically. Connie Newman advocated for pharmaceutical treatment while Anita Hoffer argued against. Connie Newman presented her argument with various research, referring to the DSM to support her argument that sexual problems were not only a psychological but also physiological problem. She also laid out a comprehensive timeline demonstrating how the sexual problems have been viewed and treated over the years, progressing from purely a psychological based treatment to VIAGRA being an accepted method of treatment for male patients with erectile dysfunction (McKee, 2013, p. 51). However she did recognize that treatments for women had not

Writing an essay can be difficult if a person does not know how or where to begin. I personally believe the first step of writing is to list down ideas about the topic. After

Americans today are no strangers to stretching every dollar earned in an attempt to live the American dream. Most people work long hours and eat on the fly with very little thought to what, or where, the food they have purchased came from. The reason food is so inexpensive has not been a concern to the average American, but the article written by Michael Pollan “The Food Movement Rising” attempts to convince the people that it is time to remove the blinders and take an accounting of the situation that America finds itself in. With obesity at epic proportions, and preventable diseases like

The problem with the belief that people are morally responsible, for what they do and act, revolves around humans not actually having free will because their actions are already determined. When people make decisions or perform actions, they usually feel as if they are choosing freely. The decisions people make are the direct results of their desires; past experiences; personality; psychological traits; and needs and wants. Determinism is the view that if an event has happened, given the previous state of the universe and the laws of nature, then it is impossible that it could not have occurred (304). Libertarianism is the belief that the universe is not determined and that humans possess free will. Kane, the supporter of libertarianism, claimed

Gathering all the facts necessary to write an essay is not as challenging as it used to be before the Internet and it’s putting our intellectual

Nothing feels better than enjoying a sport and, in return, receiving recognition for all the hard work and determination. There has been a controversy on whether kids should be recognized for just participating in the sport and playing a little to no role on the team. Vivian Diller believes that kids should not be given such awards, as it will have negative effects on them, while Lisa Heffernan argues that kids should be given participation awards because it will have a positive effect on them. Their different point of views results in a disagreement among values, definitions, and priority between the two writers.

As an institutionalist, Steinmo has reflected his many perspectives on how the American government is reliant on institutions. While Steinmo does have a strong argument on how institutions impact the government, I believe culture plays a major role in the way our country runs. Steinmo’s argument that, “Much of American history can be and has been interpreted as a conflict over which set of values would hold force.” (Steinmo 1--) I believe this is a very accurate depiction of how conflicts have been resolved throughout history. Culture play a huge part into how people form their values, especially when noticing the differences between America and other countries.

When one chooses to write on a matter that seems to have been laid to rest decades ago their burden extensively lies not in trying to argue for their position, rather in showing the relevance of their position. This paper attempts to do both of these things when it comes to non-consensual sterilizations of women, specifically disabled women. A practice prominent in the 20th century, this paper examines coerced sterilizations from a feminist care ethics perspective and ultimately concludes that paternalistic arguments for this practice are in fact eugenic arguments, and thus renders coerced tubal litigations as unethical. Although neo-eugenics is starting to gain a number of followers for its genetic benefits, this is but a misconception of

Our argument is that Eric Cartman is not protected by his first amendment rights, due to his actions on the public website, Facebook.

I see that writing an essay is like telling your audience a story that you have created yourself. The story could either be about me struggling in being accepted in Valdosta State University, or how Immokalee High school, which is the high school I had attended, began as an educational institution. The paper I typed up in high school were mostly looking up information about a historical event. For example, how Christopher Columbus had discovered America and how he was a terrible person in general. Outside the textbook and writing class, I had written multiple stories about my life and my feelings towards people. These types of stories I had written were very personal. When creating them, I started pouring my emotions into an electronic device.

Claim number two is “most student labeled as having A.D.H.D are males and many are black males. But boys tend to be more active than girls, and African Americans are known for being movement oriented, tactile and kinesthetic” (Ford). This claim supports Donna Ford main argument by providing behavioral norms to one gender and ethnicity. when considering to diagnose the child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, consideration of the norms of a gender and ethnicity of that student should factor into the decision.

In this article, Sarah Cotterill writes about how cancer has changed the way she sees and processes the world she lives in today. During this hard time of her life she has experienced both highs and lows throughout. Cotterill is only 29 years of age but feels she has the knowledge to speak in this topic since she has experienced it first hand.

Technology has only recently become apart of life and it is continuously growing and evolving. Generations have become dependent on electronic devices, it is used in everyday life. Though it is not a bad thing unlike commonly believed. The school should not participate in “Shut Down Your Screen Week” because the technological database offers many learning opportunities and has the ability to make students smarter.

Wortman argues it was the efforts of new legally-minded intellectuals that arose in the first half of the nineteenth-century educated in law, not codes, and had a respect for law as both a profession and a force of morality that swayed Alexander’s opinion. As early as 1858, the state chancellery took up the cause of legal reforms. Through various discussions led by figures like Grand Duke Constantine Nikolaevich, Dmitrii Obolenskii, Zarudnyi, and many others, the section of the state apparatus that viewed the law as the fundamental base of a healthy state economically and socially influenced the tsar to reevaluate his views of justice. According to Wortman’s argument, once they convinced the tsar that “court reform was necessary for the nobility

I like how you summarized each of Heineman’s viewpoints in regard to human nature. I would like to add another element to the first and second point that was made by Heineman in relation to human nature. The first viewpoint that Heineman makes in relation to human nature is that humans are essentially good and rational, therefore freedom in a political system can occur (Heineman 1996, 26). There are several verses of Scripture that warn against humans using their freedom in a negative way. 1 Peter 2:16 says, “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves” (1 Pt 2:16 [New International Version]). God has given each of us freewill, but because of our sinful nature, it has to be a conscious
