Washington Post Argumentative Analysis

“We have the wolf by the ears, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other.” In his letter to Senator Holmes, Thomas Jefferson discusses how the original 1780s compromise on the issue of slavery has led to the current continued debate of the Missouri Compromise of 1820. He expresses his fear that attempting to end slavery and its spread throughout the country, though the proper course, will lead to the destruction of the nation. Continued debate and antagonism over this issue led ultimately to the violence in Kansas and the start of the Civil War forty years later. When the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed in 1854, settlers from the North and South rushed to the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska to secure them as either free or slave states.

Now i know the vast majority of people I'm friends with on Facebook are in the same pool of thought on all of this as me but I just needed to write this - apologize in advance for it being long but trust me, it's a worthwhile read smile emoticon

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.

Initiative 42 is the result of nearly 200,000 Mississippians signing petitions to have an initiative placed on the November ballot to amend the state Constitution. If passed, this citizen led initiative will hold the Mississippi Legislature accountable for keeping its promise to fully fund public schools, which the Legislature has only done twice in the past 18 years. That should be simple enough, but Governor Phil Bryant, Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves, and Speaker of the House Phillip Gunn have used their power and position to help confuse the public about the Initiative. Why? Such action is contrary to statements the Governor has made in the past regarding the public’s role in education. For example, in a December 2, 2014 article

The Washington Post article "Newly elected US Congress who swore the oath of office on the Koran" (Argetsinger, 2007) reported on the criticism by Virginia Republican Virgil H.

Ellison, a former criminal lawyer and a convert to Islam, had planned to use the Muslim scriptures in January in his private oath.

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,

There is a controversial issue in America, and that issue is on gun control. One side wants to tighten down on the gun control laws. While the other side wants to leave gun control be or loosen it up. These two sides are the democrats and the republicans.

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.

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.

As a liberal who is magnificently passionate about socio-political issues, and also as a refugee and a person of color who could easily be targeted by the bigotry of controversial speakers, I certainly appreciate the liberal bubble that I am in. However, I cannot help but wonder if hiding in this comfortable bubble is a productive measure to take if my end goal is to help improve these controversies and serve disadvantaged communities. The truth of the matter is that outside of our small, liberal community, there are people who do not share the same viewpoints as us. Sooner or later, we will all have to confront people with such viewpoints. Therefore, what matters the most is for us to learn about them, understand them, and learn how to respond to them in a constructive and productive manner. It is only through doing so that we

Everyone has opinions about something these days, whether it is the United State’s involvement in the middle east or a general manager’s offseason acquisitions. Probably the most common ways of presenting one’s opinion is writing an editorial for a newspaper. In writing these positions, the author has to think of a clear and clever way to persuade his audience to agree with him. All editorials, at their core, follow the same formula. One example of an editorial to break down is a recent one written by the New York Post’s Editorial Board on the NFL’s rules.

Within the pro-choice world there are many issues that are discussed like abortion, the instant where life begins and the use of contraceptives. This article will focus on not only the issue of using of contraceptives, but specifically the distribution of oral contraceptives (“the pill”) to teenage girls without their parent’s consent.

Waite and Gallagher also discuss the benefits that marriage gives to couples. Including the financial benefits, in that through specialization and by sharing incomes getting married boosts standard of living by thirty percent and this benefit is not incurred by cohabitating, as those who cohabitate do not share as much and are less committed to the wellbeing of their partner. In addition to the financial benefits, they also discuss the emotional benefits of knowing you have someone who loves you and who would take care of you. Children similarly benefit from having married parents as there are more financial resources available to help take care of them and they get to spend more time with at least one parent.
