Prager's Argumentative Analysis

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

There had always been differences between the northern states and southern states before nullification and secession. This came down to differences in the core drivers of their economies. The south was more oriented towards Agriculture while the north was driven by industrialization. What this meant was that the south was more reserved on the consistent calls by abolitionists in the north. Abolition of slave trade would mean an almost complete collapse of the economy in the South.

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,

In 2011, Jennifer Connell was attending her nephew, Sean, 8th birthday party, Connell walks into the backyard and upon seeing his aunt, Sean runs and jumps to hug her. Causing Connell to fall backwards landing on the ground and breaking her wrist in the process. Instead of doing something rash, like, accepting he is eight and it was an accident since the laws of physics are not clear to him yet, she did the rational thing. She filed a lawsuit - against the nephew. She claimed that the nephew had been "careless" and wanted $127,000 for emotional suffering and medical bills. In her claim she stated that she had recently attended a party and her inability to hold her "hors d'oeuvres plate was distressing and embarrassing. Deliberation lasted a mere twenty minutes. The jury awarded Jennifer Connell nothing.

Ever since the beginning, slavery has always been a growing conflict in the United States. However in the 1800s, it became such a problem that it nearly separated the whole country. Those that lived in southern states believed that they had the rights to own slaves. They argued that the slavery made up a fairly large part of their economy because slaves labor was cheap. This is why many of the big time planters were rich. Also, they felt African Americans were unfit to survive on their own. Northern citizens felt that there was no need for slavery and that it was wrong. But who is right regarding this situation. It all depends on the individual. The back and forth arguing between the north and south was intense, neither backing down from the

Two Latinas and a baby were stopped by security while grocery shopping, because another shopper accused the dark-skinned women of kidnapping the fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde baby accompanying them. It was not until the fair-skinned, blue-eyed, blonde father of the baby refuted the accusation, that the women were released. My mother (who is from El Salvador) and my nanny (who is from Belize) were the two women and I was the baby. My mom and nanny would not have been publicly incriminated and shamed, were they fair-skinned. McIntosh’s article substantiates the ubiquity of white privilege. White people do not have to worry about being monitored while running errands or being pulled over because of their skin color. I agree with McIntosh’s point

Today in America there are many huge controversial issues such as gun control, legalization of marijuana, pro life or pro choice and so much more. These arguments are well known and a lot of people make a stance in what they think on the situation. The article in the New York Times, Abortion and Punishment by Katha Pollitt speaks about a comment Donald Trump has made and gives her opinion on the role abortion has in America in the past and present time. Therefore, women do not have many rights when it comes to abortion even though it is legalized but some states may try to shut down clinics. Also, it has always been a risky topic in the United States including many other countries. All in all, Pollitt speaks about views of abortion and

In the year of 1890 the Bureau of the Census proclaimed that the frontier was officially closed. For many people finding out that the Golden West was no longer an achievable dream it put many people into a state of depression. A historian of this time named Frederick Jackson Turner, about how important the Frontier was in American history, it was published in the year of 1894 under the title of “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” (282). His argument was that the expansion of the New World was much different from the development of the Old World because “the existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward” (282). Also that the frontier made it possible of the

Many college students may be exposed to an abundance of material that may trigger them in some type of way. Many colleges have tried to combat these problems but most seem to fail because there is no possible way of knowing what triggers someone. After reading some arguments on trigger warnings, I found all of them less compelling than Brianne Richsons argument. Out of every article I read, None of them even mentioned where the trigger warning stopped. Anybody could be triggered by anything as long as it reminds them out a fearful event. A persons emotions and past is unpredictable which also makes their triggers equally as unpredictable. The thin line that she described thoroughly is definitely the tie breaker between Richsons article and

Tran and Strutton have been able to prove that viewers change their whole lifestyle to obtain these standards; “Viewers often copy celebrities’ hairstyles, employ their nickname, or mimic stars’ clothing, lifestyles, or verbiage” (Tran & Strutton, 2014). It is crazy for an audience of a show to feel like they need to change and be somebody else. The negative influences of these shows are definitely affecting ones reality.

Mr. Fowler and I spoke about being back in Syracuse and how he is enjoying California weather. Apart from the weather, I inquired about foods that are popular that he doesn’t have access to in New York. He mentioned that he really enjoys the Mexican food, specifically the Taco Truck. I shared my experience there and we then spoke about sushi and Korean barbeque. Mr. Fowler, also told me that he will miss the El Salvadorian dishes his aunt and mother prepares. He asked about my favorite food place in Los Angeles and I told him The Grove. Lastly, we spoke about the fact that Syracuse does not have any options after 12, other than Dominos.

Although the principles at a higher and prestigious college such as Cornell may appear to hold different values, the fundamental morals of academic integrity remains the same across America. To explain, the criteria for forging one´s work is still the same as students who forge another´s signatures for documents such as report cards. Similarly, in Cornell, forging another´s signature for similar causes or to signify the a class completed is also prohibited. Also, the Tech students are also given the opportunity ¨to appeal¨ to the principal if feelings of injustice is expressed by the student. Likewise in Cornell, a convicted student may appeal to the Hearing Board if the individual is not satisfied. However, the discipline is where the two

Stated by the Executive Director of Color Of Change and op-ed author of The New York Times, Rashad Robinson acknowledges that, “In 2012, the Supreme Court took a step toward righting a terrible wrong by banning mandatory life sentences without the possibility of parole for children”. Even though this was passed there Are still many juveniles that have not gotten a resentencing. According to Rashad Robinson believes that “Consider Michigan, where prosecutors are denying parole or shorter sentences for 60 percent of juvenile lifers, even in cases where parole boards have recommended them. In Oakland County, northwest of Detroit, the share is a whopping 90 percent”. Recently, there are still juveniles receiving long sentences that are basically

21st century man should be somewhat envious, the total cost of a first date was complimentary on the girl’s family. Affordable transportation changed things, provided quality of life and ushered in a group called “teenagers”. The auto meant it was the last free meal for boys, dates meant access to a car, gas, dinner and a movie. To win the heart of a woman a young man had to work, at least part time to afford this new habit, “girls”. The auto could be compared to the affect social media has today, it turned boys and girls into mobile adolescents with an option to explore beyond the immediate world. The auto also provided privacy for raging hormones, cars became mobile hotel rooms where many babies would be conceived.

My ideas about the impact usage of internet technology, search engines and social media varies upon one’s usage or age level. For instance, Internet technology for educational purposes are great for students doing research projects because they have access to a large selection of material at the click of a button. Thus, cutting down research time verses going from book to book. Therefore, you have more diverse opinions, perspectives or facts from larger groups of people and material in a shorter time span than a few books. For non-educational usage, internet technology can put you in touch with how-to-do-it projects or having digital storage for personal pictures right from your home. You have access to Home Depot, Lowes or independent contractors
