Hochswender's 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

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.

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

The idea of sovereignty has been very popular in Quebec that it was distributed within two

I believe that the argument put forth by Daniel Engster is valid, but not sound. There is one potential flaw with P5, and one with the derivation of P4 from P1-3.

I’m pretty sure Craig Spencer felt the exact same way when he ate at a public restaurant, rode the subway, and went bowling in Brooklyn and look where that has gotten him. Troops who are returning from West Africa are being quarantined just like the astronauts of Apollo 11 were quarantined and no one thinks or thought any less of them for doing so. I believe that it is more heroic of them to have taken the necessary precautions to protect even more people than they already have rather than to just puff out their chests and say they’re invincible. In an article called “Ebola-Quarantine Objections are Frivolous,” Law Professor Eugene Kontorovich elaborated on the fact that courts have continuously advocated for quarantines for infectious diseases like tuberculosis and smallpox.

The reporter stated on 12/05/15 the victim was brought to the emergency room and diagnosed with pneumonia. According to the reporter, Braxtyn’s condition is serious but it’s unknown if it’s life threatening. Ms. Donaldson stated South Central is unable to provide Braxtyn with the care he needs so he’s being transported by ground to UMC in Jackson, MS. At this time er doctor’s have expressed concerns about his mother accompanying him to UMC. Per the reporter, Ms. Williams has not been compliant with the medical needs the child is having at this time. The reporter stated Braxtyn requires an oxygen mask but his mother refuses to keep the mask to his face. The reporter stated Essences continues to leave the room and Braxtyn unattended, she’s not

Professor George Frisvold develops his argument by illustrating the facts through graphs. His use of statistics supports his point that current agricultural systems are insufficient in conserving water. Because of the current climate change, water conservation has gained importance. Frisvold presents analyses of current strategies and suggests how national level changes in order to provide the change in the government’s involvement in water conservation in agriculture. The intended audience is readers that are interested in the environment, and more specifically interested or involved in the conservation of natural resources. The issue of agriculture’s involvement in the environment has many different effects. In this precis writing process

I am writing this letter in regards to Brooke Austins Inquiry Paper. In this paper she really has excelled and used her strengths to present a strong argument. Her inquiry paper about Juvenile Delinquency programs and there effectiveness outlines the risks associated and the issues these programs create. In Brooke’s introduction she briefly states the issues that arise from these programs and asks the audience a question to ponder throughout the inquiry.

As I noted earlier in the text, Schlosser takes note of how fast food was initially an idea having a place with a specific place, Southern California, which was the focal point of auto culture in America quickly after the Second World War. We touched bases on this in lecture when we discussed trade policy. The farm economy began to overproduce in alignment with the increased vehicles and the uprising of pesticides and chemical use. Both the trade policy discussion and the book are in agreeance that post war the economy took a turn and power began to shift from the farmer, and “regional businesses became a fast food industry, a major component of the American economy.” In fact the NAFTA lecture explains as well the negative effects of the large

Both letter to the editor and editorial staff offer position that are supported by both facts and opinions. The letter explores to urges the new reusable bag ordinance while the editorial staff argues that they are serious about making Proposition 328 mandatory in every store. While both side make an acceptable case, it is clear that the letter provides a better argument.

A principle discourse between the two arguments occurs here, should a person with such an upbringing be placed in a dilemma like described by Sartwell. According to Dalrymple, such people view obedience as extinguishments of their “... existence as an autonomous being”, which sharply contrasts with Sartwell’s emphasis on the influence of the herd (Dalrymple 5). He states that humans “ … seek to associate themselves with a consensus of their acquaintances“, a claim which Dalrymple later discards in his explanation of disobedience but inadvertently accents with an anecdote early in his article (Sartwell 2). In said anecdote, Dalrymple recounts a conversation he had on a plane with a woman who expressed her seemingly firm anti-authority sentiments

Brennan argues that one should not vote badly. I will be arguing in favor of Brennan’s argument. I will first start by stating the author’s argument, then I will propose objections to his argument.

Besides BonJour's argument of illustrative examples, moderate rationalism is defended by two intimately related dialectical arguments. The argument is that the denial of a priori justification will lead to a severe skepticism, in which only the most direct experience could be justified. Stemming from this severe skepticism, comes the stronger argument that argumentation itself becomes impossible. This essay will describe the distinct segments of the argument and will demonstrate the relationship between the two arguments.

Modernity was a religious period in history where there was a shift in how people thought about faith and religion. It was no longer about the religion, instead it became about studying the believer and questioning the faith. During Modernity there were two main ways of thinking of religion, either you thought religion was rational or irrational. Ludwig Feuerbach was one of the key thinkers during this period who thought religion was irrational. In God as a Projection, Feuerbach argues as a thesis that God does not really exist and that God is just a human projection. Feuerbach makes several presuppositions while making his argument. Although, Feuerbach is very straightforward with his argument, there are several gaps in it from which the reader
