Stimson Argumentative Essay

Sexual thoughts pop in and out of most people’s mind, but especially teenagers, and there’s nothing they can do about it. It is normal for teenage boys and girls to experience this, more than ever when they are hitting puberty. The hormones in the body begin to act up and teenagers want to experience other things on their own. Males begin to grow pubic and facial hairs, and their voice starts to deepen, while girls’ breasts begin to develop and their body begins to take shape. After hitting puberty, teenagers are now at the point where they want to experience things. ‚Don’t go out there and get pregnant‛ a mother

When Christopher was eight years old, he didn’t know that he would be attacked and be scarred for life in less than a day. Christopher arrived at his friend's house. His friend told him to hold a stick and say fetch to the husky. Before Christopher could even throw the stick the dog viciously attacked him. His friend ran to get help. After that Chris had to have 1000 Stitches. Chris had very bad nightmares about the dog attacking him. That dog scarred him for a very long time. To this day he still has nightmares about that dog. There was more to come after this event.

To begin, all of it goes back to the constitution. In article IV, there was a cause, called the fugitive slave clause, which ordered states to deliver up fugitives from labor when they are requested by slaveholders. This set the path of the country towards war.

Better known as the debt ceiling compromise, the sequester was intended to serve as an incentive for the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, also known as the “supercommittee,” to come to a deal to cut $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years. If they could not come up with a deal, $1.2 trillion in further spending reductions would be implemented starting Jan. 1, 2013. Despite the deadline being extended to March 1, the supercommittee still could not come up with a plan. As a result, the sequester was set in motion, causing the government to trim its budget by $85.4 billion this year and by $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years (Zeitlin, “Fiscal cliff for dummies”)

On March 6, 1857 the U.S. Supreme Court rule against Dred Scott who was suing for federal citizenship. All nine justices agreed that African Americans who descended from slaves could not enjoy the political community established by the constitution or have the right to federal citizenship. Majority of the justices also agreed that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which forbid slavery in the part of the Louisiana Purchase north of 36°30′ latitude was unconstitutional. Chief justice Taney stated that individual states may grant citizenship to African Americans but that did not extend their citizenship nationally under the provisions of the Constitution. Taney declared that Scott could not sue in the United States Courts since the courts were reserved

Despite what is commonly assumed, specific African traditions and beliefs were not merely transferred from the continent to the Americas. Rather, African American communities took on African customs and incorporated them into their own distinct worldview, and these new African American customs were even transferred back to the Continent. The Atlantic served as a passageway that did moved more than human bodies, but also the traditions that those bodies carried with them. Evidence for this phenomenon is found through both anecdotal stories from the Lowcountry as well as through anthropological findings on the way material objects were understood and used.

When you see yourself living out your dream, the thought of what you're most passionate about pulls you in. Passions in one's life change based on what had affected that person. Dreams are defined to change. However, the benefits of these thoughts is that they belong to you and only you. Not one person's opinions matter but your own. Chris McCandless simply was living out his own ideal life, the way he wanted; not to the idea of his parents, his friends or of society. McCandless wanted to escape society and civilization which he felt was tying him down, while also trying to discover himself. McCandless is not by any means a wacko. He was simply defying society and its ideal expectation it holds upon us as a whole.

Every state should’ve been like Longtown in the America 200 years ago because Longtown was a free place for everyone no matter their color. Longtown needs to be taken care of the most because it’s the first town where race and color didn't matter.An article published by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history:Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” and a youtube video called “Vanishing Act” both explains how a town in Ohio was one of the first places to be free of discrimination. According to Washington Post, a descendant of James Clemens who brought the land for Longtown named Connor Keisser stated that in his childhood memories he used to play with cousins that had different skin colors. Longtown was the first place where there

figure makes a run for it, the lyrics depict Wenjack as almost surprised that no one is “chasin'” after them (Gord). The dialogue is an effective way to bring the audience into a singular moment of Wenjack’s life and escape. Sean Carlton describes this scene as “a rare representation of student agency,” that goes against traditional portrayals of Indigenous people as victims (Carlton). In this way, Downie is depicting Wenjack as an individual with individual thoughts, and reasons for running away. With this in mind, Wenjack’s character moves away from stereotypes, because the audience is able to connect with his fear and the tension in the music and lyrics. Wenjack becomes a relatable figure.

In reflecting on the arguments presented by Stossel and Gates in the videos. An argument that I agree with is with one of interviewees in the Stossel video, the man discussed how common core shows what each student should know at each grade level. I also agree with Bill Gates that common core is not a curriculum, it doesn't tell teachers how to teach etc. It's a framework, which I think people in education often fail to understand.

Having to live and act a certain way towards the outside world when you feel completely different on the inside would make one feel trapped and restricted. Restricted from being free to be who they really are. Everyone deserves the freedom to have the opportunity to live life the way they feel they were born to live it. Why do we criticize Chris McCandless for doing that same thing? I can relate to Chris’s desire to live life according to his dreams, not his parents.

I believe most convincing argument I believe is Dr. Straus’s argument that the New Testament is similar to what the original authors wrote. Dr. Straus goes on to say that there is “highly reliable manuscript evidence”. I believe that there are a lot of historians that have researched religion and whether or not God exist. This is because religion has always been a highly researched topic, so there is always updated evidence related to the topic. Additionally, there are many people who are not just religious, but they are more curious about the history of the bible. Since, religion is still a very sensitive and controversial topic today, I believe that there will always be ongoing research on the scripture that could only strengthen the belief

We already know that there has been a precipitous decline in the study of liberal arts because many people do not value it anymore. English and history are now being pushed aside for math or science. Fareed Zakaria, an American journalist and author, in his article, “What's the Use of a Liberal Education?” writes, “Even President Obama recently urged students to keep in mind that a technical training could be more valuable than a degree in art history. Majors like English, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline.” This mindset is causing many people to turn away from liberal arts-based subjects, so they can pursue something that would “be more valuable”.
