Violent Media Is Good for Kids “Violent Media is Good for Kids,” written by Gerard Jones, is an interesting argument about the positive aspects of violent media. He has narrated his own experience as a child about the impact of violent media. Jones has further developed his argument to convince parents about the importance of violent media by noting that exposing kids to violent media helps the kids to overcome their fear. Jones is focused on parents and teachers, both of whom restricts the exposure

characteristics are only accomplished by the use of specific rhetorical devices to achieve his point. Taken from his essay “Beowulf:The Monsters and the Critics.” presented at the 1936 British Academy Lecture, he first starts off by presenting the arguments that have been formed about Beowulf and continues to counter argue them in order to make a stronger and more elaborate point, which is enhanced with his use of authoritative language. Tolkien also dives deep into written technique that is embedded

might open the door for free action. We will discuss what this paper means by free action and indeterminacy, explore why Sider thinks indeterminacy is incompatible with free action, object Sider’s arguments using Nozick’s proposal of self-subsuming weight bestowal, and investigate possible counter arguments to Nozick’s proposition. The libertarian view requires a free action to be non-random, uncaused and ‘could have been done otherwise’. However, indeterminacy suggests that a prior event provides

Crystal’s ability to conceptualize (or rationalize) texters’ motivations for abbreviating strengthens his argument by making him sound more knowledgeable as a writer. To begin his argument, Crystal makes the excellent point that people would not send texts that are unreadable

Reasons are B. S. In the book, The Achievement Habit, written by Bernard Roth, there are many key elements to the thesis of reasons are bullshit. Roth makes claims on why making excuses should never be a trait someone should have. He explains himself by relating to students in stories and in past examples of his own life.

another article by Taylor Branch to help support his argument even further. Pathos is used very effectively in Seth Davis’s article. By using pathos he is helping to expose the purpose of the article in a way that you wouldn’t think of before. Davis states “As the father of three children under the age of eight, I can only pray that someone “exploits” my sons someday
