The author of the article, Maximillian Alvarez, begins by explaining how his classes are structured. He explains the environment he tries to build and details a series of questions he asks his students to ponder about. Much like our first day of class, he asks his students to think about their opinions and whether they are entitled to have them or not. As the article progresses the writer proposes whether all opinions should be treated equally. Alvarez employs the topic of climate change to convey that when we give opinions the same validity sometimes we end up with a certain someone that says climate change is not a real issue which then leads to a topic getting more media coverage than it should. Obviously, people cannot be stopped from formulating

Gilbert Martinez was born in 1942, in crystal city Texas. Mr. Martinez was born Mexican American and his parents were both from Mexico City. During that time racism was still very much alive and most people in the city were Mexican American while the city council were white people. The city council was unfair to most people and never listened to their opinion on city affairs. So Gilbert decided when he was about 17 to start a campaign to run for city council.

Climate change is very important to many people right now. There are lot’s of discussions between scientists asking, should we be worrying about climate change? Obviously, there are two sides between this topic. There is a natural side, these people don’t think that we should be worrying about this, and that the causes of this climate change are natural. There is also the side of people who think this is all caused by humans. They say that we should be worrying about this climate change. But is it really that important? I have chosen to send this letter to you because you are a part of ohio and are important, but there is one thing. Climate change, it’s not that important right now.

In his essay titled “Climate of Denial”, Al Gore, a well known environmental advocate and former vice president, verifies the reality of climate change and global warming. The piece is an attack on corrupt companies and news outlets that attempt to persuade the public that global warming is not a critical issue. Gore also earnestly conveys our environment’s current state and offers possible solutions that would increase awareness about global warming and begin to revert the planet back to a healthier, more sustainable state. The overarching purpose of Gore’s work is to call attention to the widespread climate change that is occurring. However, he also focuses on the corruption and bias within the media, and their attempts to conceal the truth about global warming. Writing to those who are conflicted about who to believe, he makes a valid argument that defends the beliefs of he and his fellow activists and encourages others to become more active in the climate change issue.
The history of Mexico is much different than the history of its northern neighbor, the United States (U. S.). At one time Mexican territory extended north into the Colorado area and west to California before ceding the property to the U. S. after the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. Mexico and most of South America had been settled by Spain upon encountering the New World in 1492. So South American Spanish colonies spoke Spanish, had a ruling class that was not native born called peninsulares who were born in Spain but lived and ruled Mexico. Mexican ties with Europe were strong and in its colonial days the rulers and upper class individuals tended to draw from European society to make Mexico feel like the place they left behind. With regard to Mexican Natives, Spaniards intermarried into ruling families just as if they were in

In 2010, Al Gore wrote an opinion piece in The New York Times claiming that global warming is a matter our generation must concentrate on in order to halt the rapid increases of change to our planet’s climate.

Today, we live in a dog-eat-dog, who’s better than who world. We live in a world where one person’s opinion on something is more important than another’s because they simply are more qualified. With all of the news sources and media outlets, we are left to figure out which source of information is more correct than another based on the credibility and qualifications of its author. This same problem occurs in the topic of climate change. When we look up information about climate change we must evaluate the credibility of the authors who are writing the articles we are reading. Once you are able to figure out which author is more credible the next step is to determine which author is more persuasive and able to convince the reader that their

Santiago provides a subjective tone throughout the article as his opinions towards the subject are the only things backing his viewpoint. The writer tries to convince the audience that the Paris Climate Change Agreement is truthfully untenable with numerous methods. One method utilized in his argument is the use of social commentary against what many other news organizations have been saying. This is seen when he says, “For several news cycles, knee jerk reactions fed the unthinking mainstream media’s hunger to audience attention.” This critique of news organizations contributes to the verification of his view of the Paris Accord by leading readers to be more wary of what they are being told. Likewise, Santiago uses the different modes of persuasion to sway the audience. For an example, he shows the negatives of the agreement by saying, “...they want to change the price of
97% of climate scientists agree that such increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are man-made (Global Climate Change: Consensus). Why then is it that the news media treats such widely held views by experts as debate rather than consensus? The answer may lie in the media’s current and skewed standards of what constitutes “objectivity” and “balance”.
