how it has become more complex and challenging over the years. The title headings for each sub-chapters are - Video Games, Television, Internet, and Movies. Within each subchapter he uses a vast number of examples from each section to support his argument. The biggest part the first chapter is dedicated to video games. Johnston suggests that when video games were first released that people thought they made us dumber and wasted our mind’s skills. He uses the example about how if video games had arrived

by appealing to the rhetoric form of logos, setting up each of his arguments with a parallel structure, and by using simple language that everyone can understand.

For example, when he looks at the loyalists argument that America has done well under the connection of Great Britain and

stability of a healthy marriage, and how this further contributes to the upbringing of a healthy, functioning child. Frank F. Furstenberg then presents a counter-argument in response to Amato’s article. While both Amato’s and Furstenberg’s articles use logos as their main rhetorical appeal, Amato also uses pathos to strengthen his argument and persuade his

their own mannerisms. Out of the numerous points that are mentioned to support or rebuttal no-platforming, a few proved the general point the most efficiently. For instance, the no-platforming supporters created an argument solely based on the fact that the freedom of speech argument is invalid. They state that the freedom of speech continues to exist regardless of a platform existing to speak on or not, and that the lack of a platform simply means that an individual is not being put up on a pedestal

As he says right after the fourth premise, “…why wholly good God gave men freewill although it would lead to some important evils” (p. 5). Even though Mackie has many things to say in Evil and Omnipotence, my paper will be focusing on the paragraph starting on p. 5 with “First I should query…”.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" this is an old phrase used to inspire hopefulness and an encouraging, positive can-do attitude in the wake of hardship or disaster. Lemons symbolize the inevitable sourness or difficulties in life, while lemonade is the sweet drink that is the product of the lemons. Often life offers trivial disappointments with almost no explanation and sometimes it seems almost impossible to break the misfortunate spell. However, for some people, each mishap in their

In her article for The Atlantic, “Why Women Still Can’t have it All”, Anne-Marie Slaughter examines the difficulties faced by women who either have children or would someday like to do so. Having given up on the task of holding a high powered government position while being the mother of a teenager, her kairotic moment, the author discusses the changes that would be necessary in order for women to find a real

After this new discovery I was able to analyze pieces and pick out key components or strategies the author used to create an argument. This was also very helpful when writing my persuasive speech. I was able to incorporate some of the

First, I will present Thomson’s argument which says that abortion is sometimes permissible. I will do so by describing her “famous violinist” thought experiment. Next, I will object to Thomson’s claim and expand the scope of her argument by arguing that abortion is in fact, always permissible. I will do so by presenting a new thought experiment. Finally, I will conclude in saying that
