Richard Wright's Argument Analysis

Despite mankind’s best effort, the history of mankind is a wrinkled mess. These wrinkles are due to mankind’s inability to stop history from repeating itself several times over. However, the idea of history repeating itself is not new to the literature of today’s society. There are several more causes for wrinkles in mankind’s history. In fact, Ronald Wright argues that not only the idea of history repeating itself, but also the idea of mankind progressing to the point that progress becomes detrimental to mankind will result in the extinction of mankind. Therefore, Wright’s argument in A Short History of Progress should shape the discussion of responsible citizenship because his viewpoints show how human ignorance allows mankind to progress towards extinction.

“Shh!” gestured the Godmother, looking directly at Inge. “Keep your voice down, will you? The Wrights are still sleeping, and last thing they need is you raising your voice.”

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

were willing to comply with the democratic and liberal U.S. ideals. Both Turkey and Greece are presently good allies with the United States because of the democratic relationship they were able to build. Again Owen states, that liberal peace is only possible if both states are liberal, which Turkey and Greece are, hence why their relations with the United States resulted in peace. Although, one can argue that despite Owen’s argument, both states can be liberal and still result in conflict.

After the industrial revolution the Earth left its sustainability (Holocene) era to enter an uncertain future. The Anthropocene period involves the Earth’s well-being since this period of sustainability ended and the Earth has become more susceptible to the destructive ways of its human inhabitants. A group of twenty-eight scientist have recently (2009) gathered to devise a way to ensure humans do not continue their trend towards irreversible damage. These scientist came up with the framework for defining a reasonable range for humans to work in. Passing these thresholds could mean effects to local and regional problems to global effects depending on which boundaries are pushed. These planetary boundaries, with each threshold threat stated,

To say that the issue of climate is resolved in the United States of America would be a falsehood. It is a commonly heard claim that 97% of climate researchers believe that global warming is real (Skeptical Science, 2012), and one would think that such consensus would inspire action among all positions of government. However, there is still the minority of scientists who do not explicitly agree with, or completely deny these beliefs. One such scientist is Richard Lindzen, who argues that there is an emotional, propagandistic reason why there would be such a large percentage of scientists who believe that climate change is caused by human factors.

In an article posted on PewResearch.org titled “Millennials Aren’t Job-Hopping Any Faster than Generation X Did”, Richard Fry argued that “The job-hopping Millennial characterization does not fit the broad Millennial workforce”. Fry takes a careful approach to back the Millennial generation up and uses statistics provided by the Unites States Department of Labor, as evidence to support his argument. This shows that Fry put all of his faith in the U.S. Government for his argument, and it has a strong bias toward the U.S. Government’s research.

The situation in Israel was tense after the UN signed a Geneva accord easing sanctions on Iran in exchange for inspectors to be allowed into the country. Daniel Taub, the Ambassador to the UK from Israel, believes the agreement will do very little, possibly nothing, to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability and also exercising it in the relatively near future. While the Western sponsors of the bill insist that it's a huge stepping stone for diplomacy for the Islamic State, those in Israel highly disagree and insist the UN will be at fault if they are attacked by Iran using nuclear weapons while this accord is supposed to be in effect.

The phrase “We are a product of our pasts” is not to imply the past is what determines the future; this phrase emphasizes the acknowledgement of how disparities emerge within the world through the examination of past human action. Within these examinations are the answers to how societies should refrain from regulating the modern world in order to promote the survival of the future. The most prominent result of human reluctance in acknowledging this examination of history has begun to take form in the world, and there is no foreseeable anecdote in place to relieve this cancerous consequence. Global warming induced climate change has begun to take its malignant hold on this planet, and it is initiating the thoroughness of its impending

Inequalities can apply to scenarios in everyday life. An inequality can be defined as “representation a set of solution that match a set of constraints”. In the written response to the inequalities and furniture, W. Lee builds an argument that the furniture company must sell 15 small bookcases and 25 large bookcases to maximize profits. Lee uses inequalities, mathematical reasoning and given textual informational to strengthen the logic and persuasive of his argument. After providing the analysis of the author’s argument, an error analysis will be conducted to determine whether W. Lee’s claim is accurate.

Although I do agree with Johnson’s point that we must recognize the difference between boys and girls, I don’t not agree with him on his take on Tim Hunt’s off-hand comment. Yes, on average women may cry more than men, but that is an average and not specifically when they are criticized by their bosses. Thus, his facts are not really relevant to Hunt’s comment. Another part that Johnson wrote off as not important was his word choice; “three things happen in the lab”. This makes it seem like there are only three foreseeable outcomes and that women can only do three things in the lab: someone falls in love with them, they fall in love or they cry. A lab is meant for research and experiments to be carried out, not for falling in love. Is there

The human race’s job has never been to simply survive, rather it has been only to thrive. Human nature dictates that we push the boundaries of the knowns and the unknowns for the improvement of our species as a whole. The current generation is living in the most prosperous era of the species. Fom their mighty moral tower, some think we have become too greedy—destroying the Earth for the sake of current welfare when the ethically just course would be to “sustain” the world as it is and forego growth and future wealth. In his book, A Poverty of Reason, Wilfred Beckerman distills his assertion to the argument the present must be our focus in order to maximize welfare today, and thus welfare in the future, because provides forthcoming generations the wealth that will allow them to alleviate the perceived problems of today through innovation.

Planet Earth, has been around for nearly 4.543 billion years, and we humans have only been on it creating civilizations for only 6,000 years. However, we’ve managed to destroy it piece by piece, century by century. With each and every new and amazing technology of the future come with a deadly price, even the meal that you ate a while ago, or maybe are eating right now has lead just a little bit more to world destruction. Important topics like global warming, over population, over food production, sea levels rising, coral reefs dying, and our forests nearly going extinct all branches from one thing societies mistakes and ignorance. The massive growth of over population over the past couple of centuries has to been
