Strength Of Argument 2

The effect of addiction have consumed billions of individuals all over the world, not only consume but also killed. Individuals have relied on drugs to fill the void in their life that is missing. The addict is not only hurting themselves from the drug use but their families, friends, and their community. In this paper, it will give a description of a 21-year-old male named Anthony. Anthony started using marijuana at the age of 20, trying to hide the pain from the death of his sister. Eventually, marijuana was not enough to get Anthony the extra high he wanted which Anthony made the choice to try another drug and eventually it

A common assumption that is made is that people who are addicted to drugs are suffering from a lack of willpower or moral fibre. People assume that these people could stop using if they simply tried a little harder. Unfortunately for those who are addicted, it is not that simple. When someone takes a drug regularly, heroin, for example, their brain chemistry becomes altered. The body produces less natural dopamine and begins to require more and more of the drug to feel its effects. Eventually, the body will begin to crave the drug, and going without it will lead to nasty withdrawal symptoms, including vomiting, increased heart rate, and

The history of addiction goes back centuries, and unfortunately, there is still a long way to go for people to realize the effects of chemical substances do more harm than good. The difference between drug use and abuse relies heavily on a person’s dependence on the substance. The line between the differences is often very fine. Depending on other factors involved, such as morals, values, environment, and genetic predisposition, the line will most likely be crossed without regard to the consequences until treatment and recovery are the only options left. This is essay compares two theoretical explanations

No one is immune to the growing threat of drug addiction and, although I was taught

The Quinnipiac University poll was done during early September to test the waters before the first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump. The sample size was roughly 960, supposedly voters from across the nation with a margin of error of +- 3.2 which isn’t horrible. The numbers look fine and because it was a nationwide poll, the possibility of getting a fair and accurate cross section of views is fairly high, that being said there are a few issues with this poll that cause me to be concerned with the accuracy of this poll for many reasons.

Hi Amber, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement in this week’s post that this is a very controversial topic and is interesting at the same time. In fact, I only live about forty-five minutes from this area and want to know more about the entire story. I believe that in all situations we should try to find the best solution for both sides rather than trying to find out what will help with the side we feel is best. However, I do understand that each side had needs, but are we saying one is more important than the other. As I think about this event and our Unit 2 discussion about our footprints, it makes me wonder what we as individuals would have been willing to give up for the safety of the snail darters environment.

Both letter to the editor and editorial staff offer position that are supported by both facts and opinions. The letter explores to urges the new reusable bag ordinance while the editorial staff argues that they are serious about making Proposition 328 mandatory in every store. While both side make an acceptable case, it is clear that the letter provides a better argument.

Treason is a political crime committed against a state or government to which the person charged with treason owes a duty of allegiance. The dictionary defines treason as a violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of ones country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies. The men signing the declaration of independence were aware of the risk they ran of committing treason against the British king. The value that defense remained to be determined in a civil war. In civil wars, every man chooses his party, but generally that side with prevails arrogates the right of treating those who are vanquished as rebels. In the weeks preceding the Declaration of Independence,

Overall, this proposition has many good outcomes, varying from school funding being increased, to school debts lowering, to also keeping health care free for those low income families who are not able to afford a visit to the doctors office. Proposition 55 will continue to extend the positive aspects proposition 30 has been able to make and hopefully it even does greater things. Proposition 55 should be passed due to the fact that the funding heading to schools will be able to be used to give money to schools to hire more teachers while at the same time maintaining the same pay and benefits to its current teachers. This will support the education of the future generation and make sure they have the same advantages that the previous generations have been able to

Since 1996, the state of California, and by default, the city of Desert Hot Springs, have allowed the use of medical marijuana. Under proposition 215, any individual with a prescription could legally possess and use cannabis. And this was the case until recently, when a chain of events led to the legalization of consumption for non-medical reasons in California. Proposition 64 legalizes the private use of marijuana as of January 1st, 2018. However, this decision appears to have been made prematurely as the effects of such an abrupt decision are beginning to manifest themselves. Aside from the palpable consequences of marijuana consumption, including sluggishness and impaired judgement, there are far more serious unintended consequences impacting

The cumbersome and prolonged use of drugs may eventually damage the body organs and injure an individual’s health, and there is no evidence that the person will result in antisocial behavior, even with prolonged or excessive use. This is why Dr. Shipman chooses to use

Although some people argue for the legalization of drugs, addiction to these substances has caused a huge increase in violent crimes in the home, at school, and on the street. Many people do not understand why individuals become addicted to drugs or how drugs change the brain to create compulsive drug abuse. They mistakenly view drug abuse and addiction as strictly a social problem and may characterize those who take drugs as morally weak. One very common belief is that drug abusers should be able to just stop taking drugs if they are only willing to change their behavior. This is a false and uneducated belief. Drug abuse may start as a social problem or social escape but one the addiction has taken ahold of a person

Peter Singer is a moral philosopher that approaches ethical issues from both a utilitarian and vegetarian point of view. Utilitarianism is a theory in which one’s action maximizes utility, to generate total benefit and reducing negatives. In Peter Singer’s essay, Utilitarinism and Vegetarianism, he argues that people who follow and apply the principles of utilitarianism should ultimately become vegetarians and that vegetarians should follow utilitarianism. This paper will review and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments in Singer’s essay.

I think you have two strong arguments here. The first one is strong as it gives facts and a conclusion that could happen. The second one adds to this by using statistical evidence to prove this argument. I think that the argument could be weakened if you look at the number of people that do smoke and have yet to get cancer. For example let’s say that 50% of the population in the United States smoke. Out of that percentage only 25% of these smokers get cancer. That is more than half of the smokers, but it would weaken the argument as you have a 50% chance. You could also add a premise to your second argument by saying If I quit smoking then I will be healthier and feel better. I would also add that your argument jumps around a bit I would keep

A valid argument is if each premise used to demonstrate the conclusion is true, then the conclusion must also be true or follows with certainty.
