At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward reading and writing; more so towards reading. Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very basic posts on facebook expressing one’s opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it’s the severe senioritis that has overcome me as I enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I’ve gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in my everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into the action unless it relates to something I am very

In arguing that anti-Confederate southerners played a central role in Confederate defeat, Freehling shifts historical debate to ground that is at once familiar and novel. Historians such as Drew Gilpin Faust and Paul Escott have identified internal disaffection as the primary cause of Confederate defeat while Gary Gallagher has suggested that whites in the Confederacy maintained their support for the government even as military losses ended the war.[1] The South vs. the South expands the scope of inquiry, looking beyond internal fissures within the Confederacy to the divisions in broader southern society. In Freehling's telling, anti-Confederate whites undermined the Confederacy by remaining outside the nation while slaves sapped Confederate

Mr Campbell Newman was a popular lord mayor as a member of the Liberal Party, who served the Queensland government for three years from 2012 – 2015 (Lewis, 2015). In the recent 2015 Queensland state election, Newman was heavily punished by the public voters of Queensland as a result of treating the public servants unfairly by cutting jobs in contrast to his promises. He also claimed that there would be no forced redundancies and that he would try to lower the unemployment rate, yet these promises were never met. In support of this, the following essay argues that Campbell Newman didn’t interfere with the free market economy of Queensland, which can be beneficial for consumers in many ways because there is no government intervention. Instead,

Within the last couple of decades, technology has become a huge part in everyone’s daily lives. Everyday we look at our phone almost every five minutes and when we get home we all hop on some other form of technology such as our computers or televisions. However, this is almost exactly what Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman fear. There are some truths and some falsehoods to the statements that Postman proposed such as the idea that we will begin to enjoy our oppression, we will be ruled by the very things that we love, and that we will eventually be thrown so many lies that we will seize to know what the truth is and we will be exploring both sides of these assertions.

Forgetting the Forgotten: Argumentative essay The mentally ill and unstable have always had a more difficult time of living no matter the time period they lived in. Today they face the threat of not being able to live their lives at all. We have moved them from the hospitals that once gave them hope at a normal life into the harsh and unforgiving United States prison system. The worst part is that we are the ones that helped move them there.

So often in today’s media can stories wrapped in “controversy” be found plastered on screens and print. These stories can range from legitimate issues such as personal rights to non-issues of people losing their minds over a coffee cup, or so is reported. The fact of the matter is that people will find just about any reason to be upset regardless of whether or not the concern is even minutely worth considering and the groups and anti-groups surrounding the topic will snowball out of control in size, misinformation, and irrationality.

Both my tutor at the writing center and my one-on-one peer reviewer mentioned that there is not enough evidence. They said that my proposition and reasons are evident; however, I do not have enough supporting details to convince readers of my argument. In my next draft, I plan to add more evidence in order to strengthen my claim while attempting to keep my argument accessible to a variety of readers.

America’s use of atomic weapons against Japan, usually have been classified as “revisionists” and the original revisionist argument maintained that the atomic bomb was used primarily to intimidate the Soviet Union in order to gain the upper hand in Eastern Europe and to keep Moscow out of the war in the Far East. The national strategy of the US was to stop Russia from being the dominant power in East Asia regardless of the actions of Americans to Japan. Henry Stimson on May 14 and 15 in year 1945, wrote in his diary ‘Diary Entries’, that the use of the atomic bomb gave the United States big superiority over the Soviet Union. ‘‘I called it a royal straight flush and we mustn't be a fool about the way we play it. They can't get along without our help and industries and we have coming into action a weapon which will be unique.’’- he

The final argument of this perspective is that gay couples are not capable of being parental figures. In general, same-sex marriages cannot reproduce the next generations. Two individuals of the same sex regardless of their race or wealth will never be able to repopulate. Same sex couples are not capable of giving support to their children. A child’s best interests occur when he or she is raised under the influence of a father and mother. Children having two fathers or two mother’s face deserting by school peers, and facing daily struggles with constant bullying. Same-sex couples will influence their children to have wrong life choices. A child living with a gay foster family are influenced to act differently from their gender, and accepting

The last four months I had been enrolled in a Composition II course which I have learned to write a strong argumentative research essay. The content’s in this folder are three examples of revised essays that I had wrote throughout the semester. I will share with you all of my reflections and insights of each essay and what I have learned in the whole process.

In the beginning, the challenge I faced while developing my argument understands the topic and argument I wanted to present. I had brainstormed a list of issues around business to get a better understanding and chose the issue that was most important to me. However, I had a hard time summing up my essay in my thesis. If done differently I would have waited to do a reverse outline in order to get my thesis statement instead of wasting time on it toward the beginning. Another obstacle faced was presenting creditable sources. I should have started with more scholarly sources to avoid changing my key
