The Furies 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

Christopher McCandless age twenty-two embarks on his greatest journey that will forever make him famous in his journey and death. There is the argument that Christopher was psychotic for going out into the Alaskan Wild so unprepared without any proper tools or materials. Also, Christopher should have told his parents where he was going so they would’ve known where to look for their son so he could be safer and might of had the chance to survive. What you have to understand that, Chris McCandless approached it the way he wanted to approached it because some say he is narcissistic and only does what he wants and it's true, he is but that isn't negative it's what he wants, and shouldn't we all be able to feel free to do whatever we wish. As the reader, you can pick the side you agree with and have your opinion on Chris. Christopher McCandless wasn't crazy or psychotic, but instead a true example of a person who did whatever he wanted to be filled with joy.

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,

Photos can be an illustrative material object to shape a story. But photos just reflect upon our memories and try to relate to the overall useless piece of paper. Photos may have value but they are essentially paper and just that. Photos are meaningless because each person just brings his own mental state of mind to the picture.

My argument is about a family show on television called “The Fosters,” people assume this tv show is not appropriate for all ages.

Liberals base their positions on emotions, not facts and logic and then they work backwards to shore up their position. This is why it’s a waste of time to try to convince a liberal of anything based on logic. You don’t “logic” someone out of a position that he didn’t use “logic” to come up with in the first

Within the last couple of decades, technology has become a huge part in everyone’s daily lives. Everyday we look at our phone almost every five minutes and when we get home we all hop on some other form of technology such as our computers or televisions. However, this is almost exactly what Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman fear. There are some truths and some falsehoods to the statements that Postman proposed such as the idea that we will begin to enjoy our oppression, we will be ruled by the very things that we love, and that we will eventually be thrown so many lies that we will seize to know what the truth is and we will be exploring both sides of these assertions.

The action in this court scene is set up by the opening scene which happened in the temple of Apollo. This instance helps to show the usurpation of one set of gods over another, in that the Furies were lulled to sleep by Apollo to protect Orestes from their torment. The Furies are used to represent instinctual justice because the ghost of Clytaemnestra awakes them by charging them to fulfill their duty to torment Orestes for committing matricide. A requirement to complete the evolution of justice to be based in society is that the Furies current capacity is in need of elimination, which is what takes place during the trial in Athens. In the trial, the Furies’ case hinges on the concept that Clytaemnestra the same blood as Orestes, but Apollo counters that, “The man is the source of life — the one who mounts. She, like a stranger for a stranger, keeps the shoot alive unless god hurts the roots” (Lines 669-671). Apollo is saying that the Furies claim that Orestes and Clytaemnestra share the same blood is meaningless because the man is the source of life, while the woman is merely a vehicle. To contrast, this Orestes builds the case for his innocence on the premise that he was commanded by the seer of Apollo to avenge his father’s death since he had just returned a hero in the Trojan War. Both parties were able to make sound cases, which ultimately led to the jury splitting evenly down the middle, which shows the complexity of the situation. Given a vote, in this case, I would have voted for Orestes, because the implications of changing the role of the Furies to occur more peacefully in society will help for all to flourish. In the end, Athena voted for Orestes because “she killed her husband, guardian of their house.” While Orestes freed of his guilt, however, it was not a defeat for the Furies as they received a new role

On the seventh day of the Scopes trial, the argument between Darrow and Bryan began to shake the people’s belief in creationism. Darrow asked Bryan a variety of questions regarding miracles such as the creation of Earth in six days, the exact time that God had created Earth, or the time period and the logic of the Flood. Instead of answering those questions with biblical contexts and clear explanations, Bryan repeatedly said “I don’t know,” or “I think there maybe” in between his answers. Despite of his assertion of the fact that human should not further doubt the validation of the Word of God, his answers for Darrow made him appeared as an unsure and flustered person. This image of Bryan, though unintentional, altered the public view of Christianity.

To be considered free in American society, according to Sandel’s definition of a procedural republic, freedom relies on an individual’s participation in self-government. For those who support the procedural republic they encourage civic virtues, such as educating ones self about the public and the ability to debate about the common good. This can be seen as a responsibility to citizens. Therefore, one may understand this as both a social and civic matter, as it requires citzens to posses as sense of belonging in their community, thus guiding them away from pursuing their own interests and focusing on the common good. Thus, just as Sandel discusses the qualities of shaping of what kind of citizens are formed, Glendon claims “law can and should

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.

But then when she runs Squeaky says “ But once I spread my fingers in the dirt and crouch over the Get on Your Mark, the dream goes and I am solid again and am telling myself, Squeaky you must win, you must win, you are the fastest thing in the world, you can even beat your father up Amsterdam if you really try.” This quote shows that she believes in herself because her father said that he can beat you with his hands in his pockets all the way to Amsterdam is very focused in winning and beating Mary Louise her competition and doing it for her brother. Have you ever got knocked down by some one but then had the confidence to get back up?

For many low-income Americans, the dialogue around health usually revolves around how accessible fresh food is to them. Gilligan’s article on Slate published on Feb 10th, 2014 purports that the problem does not lie with the so-called deserts. The argument presented by Gilligan assesses the validity of the claim that poor people are unhealthy because they do not have proper access to cheap, healthy food. It is not by getting more and more fresh food at low costs to these poor neighborhoods that people will become healthier but rather by assessing the poverty itself. Gilligan’s article is heavily factual and relies on statistical analysis to provide a clearer picture of the impact that more fresh food has had and sticks to a logical argument

If Scotland leav UK, it is probable that the number of votes in favor of Labors will decrease, “the Labour party has 41 members of parliament in Scottish seats while the Conservative Party has only one.” (2014). This means that Labour’s message is likely to change to attract more voters from England.

The fields of neuroscience and psychology are progressing at a blistering pace. The exciting advancements pose interesting religious questions, and scientists of varying beliefs have chosen to respond. The science and religion debate has fallen into two categories; they can be seen as enemies (warfare) or as allies (partnership). Arguments concerning the relationship have not become recently popular, but has been the topic of discussion throughout the history of neuroscience and psychology. Jeeves and Brown, in chapter two, explain how previous psychologists and neuroscientists have wrestled with science and religion. After examining the history of the debate, Jeeves and Brown discuss recent controversial topics, specifically the fields of
