Matt Salmons Argument Analysis

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.

In the article ‘Calgary man shows medical record as proof of election night assault’, by Aaron Chatha, Chris Ball recounts his attack that occurred on November 8th 2016, and has now provided the public with medical records indicating the treatment he received as a result. Since Mr. Ball has come forward with the details of the attack, there has been public outcry in regards to the assailants justifying their actions as they attacked Mr. Ball. Following the attack, the Santa Monica Police Department issued a statement. Within the statement police allude that Chris Ball was drinking at a bar where everyone was watching the election. As the polls began to come in people started shouting homophobic slurs, where Mr. Ball got into it with his attackers.

“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.

That on October 02, 2015 I, CPL Lessane, was in the process of arresting the subject, Don Sharp., Don Sharp resisted the arrest, by attempting to shut the front door in Deputies face. Deputies then immediately gain entry inside the residence and attempted to place the subject under arrest. The subject then resisted by running in the living room swinging his arms in an up and down, side to side motion while swinging his arms towards Law Enforcement. Deputies did tased the subject to gain control of the subject. This incident did occur in Hampton County and is a violation of the South Carolina Code of Laws.

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.

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.

The last inner-ring perspective that holds to a colorblind perspective is what we are calling a “technical recognition.” A school leader in this perspective reveals both an awareness of and observation of race at a disengaged and/or superficial notion. Principal Logan Sanders who works in affluent elementary school demonstrates a colorblind perspective of technical recognition. First, principal Sanders recognition of having a diverse population of students is based on having a large population of both Asian and Indian families who are moving into the community. Next, principal Sanders reveals insight into his technical position when he describes the subgoups found in his school. He states,

Curtis Silver advocates the need for parents to become more responsible of teaching their children values, morality, and logic. As a child of an engineer, Silver grew up learning how to tackle both simple and complex problems by using logic and reasoning. As a result, he believes that the opportunity to solve them by himself improved his critical thinking, which is why he encourages parents to also allow their children solve problems on their own. In order to strengthen his argument, he shares a personal anecdote of using his logic and reasoning to create a sound argument and reveal the truth that he did not have to pay the cost of repairs for a new transmission. This example is important to

Russel, debating J. B. S. Haldane, a biochemist, argued that as science progressed, moral progress must also occur. Using tools capable of extreme consequences without the morality required is disaster waiting to happen. The tools provided by science, used for moral and proper purpose can be the greatest boon to society, Russel argues. Nevertheless, used without moral intentions, untold damage can be done. To allow a group to hold powers such as cures for disease, without checks in place to ensure morality within that group, gives the ability to hold hostage the rest of the populace. This kind of power, given the nature of human greed and selfishness must be avoided, Russel argues.

The problem of the existence of evil in this world is a debate that seems to have no clear end in sight. It has stumped many eager, young philosophers and lead many to atheism. I think similarly though, that it has the potential to strengthen the deist’s belief if properly answered. Antony Flew writes an interesting paper attempting to use this line of argument to disprove the existence of a god. His main premise is that there is no direct evidence showing that God has significantly impacted the world. I believe that this premise is false, and therefore that his argument is invalid. God does significantly affect our life on this Earth, even if it is not appreciated by all. In addition to this, Flew’s statement that there is no support for Christian

Prior to the debate I thought that Donald was going to change hs tone and pace for the debate. Instead of representing an aggressive off the wall entrepenuer who lacks the presidential flair, I thought he was going to calm himself down. Expecting him to come out and attempt to be more presidential in nature, I was surprised to see complete congruence. He remained the same trump who attacks and deflects without having logical statements to back up his views. The use of fear and smoke screens is very similar to that of another leader in history...Hitler. He knew what the public wanted to hear and use that to his advantage. Just after the great depression and first World War, the German people had endured immense struggle ranging from massive

With the year of 2018 coming to an approach, the realization of legal marijuana is becoming a reality to many canadian citizens. Concerns over the potential risks and lack of laws in place is causing a mass panic for legal institutions. Marc Emery a respected pot user in his community and a marijuana activist, is adding fuel to this fire with his claim that, “smoking pot regularly makes people better drivers.”

As it was presented earlier, David Boonin’s interest based argument has three major elements: 1) A modified future-like-ours account of Don Marquis, 2) Relationship between desires and right to life, and 3) Organized cortical brain activity as a necessary condition for the onset of consciousness. It is the first two elements which are of major concern here.

“My Lady, I am submitting in its entirety the article written by Mr. Lofgren that nine newspapers rejected,” Godafrid pronounced. “Once again, there is documentation of how the Rochester Manninghouse Corporation purged Mr. Lofgren’s article from the World Wide Web. Additionally, I am forwarding compelling evidence indicating that the disregard for the freedom of information came at the behest of the World Governing Body. In fact, the office of John Jones-May issued point-by-point instructions commanding the media to reject news in any way injurious to the World Governing Body or its branches. News organizations not in compliance with these edicts faced the threat of closure. Thank you, Mr. Lofgren. Before we proceed further, we must establish

The rather disorganized way that the law uses shame to punish people and deter crime has, from time to time, led commentators to advocate a more systematic use of it. In the 1990s, Dan Kahan, a legal scholar who now teaches at Yale, argued that the government should use shaming sanctions in a more self-conscious way. He pointed approvingly to judges who ordered people to wear T-shirts or bracelets that say “I Write Bad Checks,” or to put bumper stickers on their cars that say “CONVICTED D.U.I.” One court ordered a slumlord to live in one of his own buildings. (His tenants posted a sign that read “Welcome, You Reptile!”) Kahan preferred shaming sanctions to imprisonment for minor crimes because they cost taxpayers less, impose less harm on offenders
