Rhetorical Analysis Of Michael Levin 's Argument

As discussed in "Thinking Sex," Rubin strongly believes that sexuality is an important topic that needs to be talked about. She sees sexuality as having its own internal politics, inequities, and modes of oppression. She explains that sexuality is political and has been overly politicized by historical events. For example, in England and USA during the 19th century there were many powerful social movements that encouraged chastity, eliminating prostitution, and discouraging masturbation. In order for them to get their point across they took their attacks toward obscene literature, nude paintings, musical halls, abortion, birth control information, and even public dancing. From life observations I believe these acts shaped the way we view sexuality

Many scientists have a difficult time understanding homosexuality on the evolutionary aspect. They believe a human beings’ main purpose is reproduction, which makes the sexual relationship between two males a confusing concept for most evolutionary thinkers (McKnight 1). Evolutionary thinkers believe that the less desirable genes are removed from the system when they are not breed as often, but this cannot be said for homosexual males who have been a continuing presence in most societies over numerous generations (McKnight 1). These evolutionary thinkers, like most humans, have a need to place others into

when talking about the social construction of sexuality, that "sexuality is not a given fact, it is a product of negotiation, struggle, and human actions"(pp 30).

Margaret Heffernan once said, “For good ideas and true innovation, you need a mix of human interaction, conflict, argument, and debate.” In the article it is debated if there is any benefit in monetary rewards for students. Teachers, and parents alike are always trying to find the best way to reward and inspire there students to do well in school. Matthew G Springer is a professor of Public Policy and Education at Vanderbilt University. He is also the director of the National Center on Performance Incentives.

When reading an article, one must establish credibility and contain emotions to insure the reader that what they are reading is trustworthy. The author of this article, Lawrence B. Schlack attempts to establish credibility in the first paragraph of his article by informing his audience that he is a former superintendent. Schlack states, “Any retired superintendent who’s running around the country telling high school seniors not to go to college had darn well better explain himself or herself. OK, here goes .” As a superintendent, Schlack could only be aware of how many students are college ready and not of how many fail out or end up coming home. By the looks of it, the author did not include and statistics to backup his claims later on in

Response: Andrew Carnegie, George Eastman, and J.P. Morgan are captains of industry because they are philanthropists. Eastman is a philanthropists because he donated over 30 million to the college ¨U of R¨ and supported dental clinics for people who could not afford it. He did this because he is a good person and a leader. Morgan is a philanthropist because he donated 60 million dollars federal government. He did this because he is a good person and a leader. Carnegie donated more than 350 mill and build over 2,500 libraries. He is philanthropist and a strong

He contradicted the argument that homosexual behaviour is related to genetic, hormonal or biological disorder. To abolish these views, the author mentions that ‘no school of medicine, medical journal or professional organization has ever recognized such claims (p. 2) - at least at the time he wrote the article in 1994.

In Thank You for Arguing, written by Jay Heinrichs had introduces to the reader about the rhetoric concepts and strategies that give us to understand more about offense and defense in an argument. He is not just to explain the concepts to the readers for how to build up a stronger argument but to make the readers to know what purposes that argument puts in our lives. Although rhetoric tools is hard to fits in our everyday life, Heinrichs still would help us to gain more ability on utilizing the knowledges of the rhetoric concepts, and convinces us to influence on our behavior that act in the argument.

The situation being emphasized by Mr. Smith is from his own experiences as a child. He tells us not how to raise a black child or how not to even, he was criticizing the situations he grew up in which made his parents and every other parent of a black family raise their children the way they did. The fear that the society doesn’t accept the life of their children and will try and crush it out of them is so high that, all of them eventually end up raising their children in a protective environment by constantly warning them of the dangers of the world, which may make the children realize that the world may not accept them the way they are.

Act 10 is a bill that was proposed by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and then passed by Wisconsin Legislature in 2011. Walker’s goal was to address the state's’ budget deficit with Act 10. However, a solution for one problem can sometimes create an additional problems elsewhere. . Alice Ollstein shows us an example of this in her article “Scott Walker’s New Plan To Gut Unions Also Strips 5 Million Americans Of Overtime Pay”, which was published in 2014 on Thinkprogress.org. Patrick Gleason also brings his point of view on this topic and ACT 10 has saved money for Wisconsin taxpayers in “Five Years Later, Scott Walker’s Reforms Have Saved Taxpayers Billions” which was published in 2016 on Forbes.com.

Peter Singer present the argument “They’re here, they are selling stuff at incredible prices, thousands of dollars for a dress or a handbag or whatever it might be. And at the same time, of course, we are living in world in which there are about a billion people who are struggling to survive on less than on U.S. dollar per day. With some more aid from the developed world, untold deaths could be prevented”p.61-62 (Taylor, 2009) in his opening statement to Astra Taylor while strolling down 5th Ave in New York City. This statement sets the tone for his discussion on ethics in the Western World and how he believes ethic and morality go hand in hand and establishes the rhetorical situation that will be repeated throughout the interview. This idea

Throughout the passage, John M. Barry uses a variety of methods to describe the process of scientific research. The author gives us long metaphor where a scientific investigator is like a pioneer in an unexplored region of the world. The author also gives us a little bit of background information on characterizations needed for scientific research.

Katz uses emotional appeals to help strengthen his argument. Katz is very up front with his words, giving him a commanding attitude towards reform. Most people would not talk about abused children, but he does this to make the audience want to change what is going on because children are valued in our

“All men are created equal, No matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words,” Harvey Milk. A homosexual, as defined by the dictionary, is someone of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex. Homosexuality is ethical, and I will provide rational arguments for, and irrational arguments against the topic. A few objections are as follows: It is forbidden in the Bible and frowned upon by God; It is unnatural; Men and women are needed to reproduce; There are no known examples in nature; and the most common argument that concerns homosexuality is whether it is a choice or human biology.

The realization of the homosexuality in the modern western world as a cultural, sexual and a social category has been a result of complex power relations that surround sexuality and gender. The acceptance of homosexuality in the society has met its fair share of resistance and skepticism. The view that homosexuality can be in the same league as heterosexual has led it to be viewed as a normal behavioral and moral standard (Gallagher & Baker, 2006). Inasmuch as the skeptics may not want to accept the existence of homosexuality studies show that the habit is rampant today with many gay people coming out in the open. Of interest is the political acceptance of homosexuality with passing gay rights so that it can be recognized by law. This move has given homosexuals the ability to engage in legal entities like marriage (Gallagher & Baker, 2006).
