between two parties advocating for entirely different things. One could easily imagine two roman senators arguing in the republic of Rome with their togas and audience. Many times like Deborah Tannen’s stated in her article The Argument Culture, “When you’re having an argument with someone you’re usually not trying to understand what the other person is saying” (488). However, this situation does not only belong to senators and congressmen. Normal and average people fall into a spiral of statements

In this paper, I plan to argue the ideas by Edward Conard, in his argument that we don’t need more humanities major in our academic system. In specific, this paper will explore the writer’s claims, the gaps in his arguments and counter-arguments in this topic. My argument is important because I will challenge Conard’s article with the self-fashioning’s article by Keohane. In Conard’s article, he demonstrates to answer the question whether or not we need more humanities. His answer is that we should

To fully understand Logical Fallacies, we will look at the definition of Logical Fallacies, some examples of Logical Fallacies, classifications of Logical Fallacies, and finally why we should, and how we can, avoid them. In simplest form, Logical Fallacies are fallacious arguments, fallacious meaning logically unsound or misleading. However a

based on Rene Descartes’ argumentations in The Meditations Of First Philosophy. First, I am going to introduce a few of Descartes’ arguments and his position on the matter. Then, I will pick the most questionable argument and put it up against logical reasoning with evidence. Finally, I am going to conclude how the 17th-century philosopher proposes a fallacious argument which interferes with his Cartesian dualism theory. The Position Rene Descartes believed in what is known as “substance dualism”

The Problem of Evil is one of the most influential and common arguments in modern philosophy against the existence of a Greater Being, God (Trakakis, 2006). Both Theist, those who believe in the existence of God, and Atheist, those who don’t believe in the existence of God, argue that evil exists in the world. The Problem of Evil explores whether the existence of evil and suffering constitutes significance evidence for atheism. When looking at the definition of the greater being, most refer to the

nonwhite and not middle-class. Keller’s argument regarding science being an “objectivist discourse” is a double-edged sword. In her attempts to critique the whole population of “white, middle-class men,” she ultimately generalizes them. In her arguments, she makes a sweeping assumption that science is a white supremacist, capitalistic, and male-dominated discourse. Her generalizations from which her argumentation is based off is flawed. The basis of her arguments is coded in sexism, classism, and racism

In the essay The Culture Industry, Adorno and Horkheimer bring up the argument that audience members take the message simply take a message from whatever media products that they are exposed to. The two main arguments that are brought up the authors are that everything is the same (Adorno & Horkheimer, 36). The second argument that is taken into account is the ‘culture industry’ that they
