The presidents of leading American colleges and universities are in outrage at President Trump’s first executive order. The order prohibits the entrance of immigrants from seven predominately Muslim countries to the United States. The educators have rallied together and are appalled at the limitations this puts on their students and the loss of “innovations and scholarship” that would be brought by them (Source B). The use of logos and ad hominem are employed in the letter to plead that Trump “rectify” and “rescind” the order (Source B). By employing the use of ad hominem, the contributors of the letter show President Trump that the nature of his executive order could be considered prejudice and extreme. The order “unfairly targets seven
Charles R. Lawrence intended audience in his article “On Racist Speech” is college students and universities. His sense of tone is forthcoming. Lawerence word choice sets the tone by using the words conspicuous,dissenter, and bigot. The article gives examples of how universities do not protect minority college students. Lawrence states that universities should protect their students He also gives an example of how universities have tried to have rules to ban racist speech yet they have proven ineffective in stopping racial slurs. The regulations have not stopped the verbal brutality yet it has stopped the occurrences of physical fights. He mentions how students do not have any need to be hurt verbally.
Some people love controversy; some despise it. Regardless of how one views a controversial topic, odds are he is fascinated by it and has his own thoughts on the matter. Journalist Leonard Pitts, Jr., who authors editorial articles for the Miami Herald, writes extremely opinionated pieces on current controversial topics targeting those who are not minorities. He writes with the goal of bringing to light issues that people would rather not discuss. Pitts’ style can be seen through pieces such as “Don’t Lower the Bar on Education Standards;” “Torture Might Work, but That’s Not the Issue;” and “If the Gunman is White, We’re OK With Mass Murder. No, Really, We Are.” In “Don’t Lower the Bar,” Pitts addresses the standards gap in the education system
When analyzing the arguments of both Michael Moore’s “Idiot Nation” and John Taylor Gatto’s “Against School”, their most distinct aspect is the tone in which their arguments are presented. Moore’s informal writing invokes a reaction within the reader. He capitalizes entire sentences to make them appear louder and draw attention. How can referring to a president as an “Idiot-in-Chief” not elicit a certain emotion within the reader? Moore is a well-known activist who is quite aware of popularity and infamy. His words are not an attempt to persuade dissenters to his side, but rather to appeal to the emotions of his supporters and drive them to action. Whereas Gatto writes in a formal but understandable language that appeals to the intelligence of parents and children alike regardless of their view of public education. It is notably free of exclamation marks as well as the jargon associated with educators. The voice used plays a key role in the techniques and tools each arguer uses to convince their intended audience to take action.
The initiative to help diversity among college admissions was a well thought out plan supporters argue. They believe One Florida will work if we give it some time. Once we get used to the plan we will see how well it is working we while will learn more about. Supporters are sure that this plan will improve the way Florida works and that we will influence other states to do the same. "Bush's plan would replace the state's affirmative-action policies, which have been used with mixed success, in university admissions"(Porter 1). Opposers of One Florida ask what is he replacing it with? He is not replacing it, he has just eliminated it and this is a form of equivocation.
Moore uses a great deal of data and logos strategies to alarm the reader. Michael Moore’s overall essay is based on his pathos arguments. He is highly irritated and in disbelief of the education system. The author uses one of the most common and easy to read strategy. First, he makes a logo standpoint and then supports his argument with pathos. He does this so that the reader is engaged and taken aback by his logo argument then is in agreement with his pathos argument that follows.
In The Balancing the Presidential Seesaw, (2000) Vaughan discusses in chapter one, ten ethical concepts that community college presidents should practice. In addition, Vaughan suggests that engaging in several of these ethical practices – the “shall-nots”, may result in a president being forced out of his position by having to resign or faced being dismissed (Vaughan, 2000). Further, the “shall nots” are extremely significant to the president’s role – they could be considered the “presidential commandments” which should never be broken (Vaughan, 2000, p. 1). This list is suggested for everyday living, and although it was written for future and current presidents, every individual should attempt to adhere to these ethical concepts (Vaughan,

The focus of this investigation will be “How much of an impact did Theodore Roosevelt and his economic changes, like his Trust Bust program, shape business and economic turmoil from 1901-1909?” and will analyze changes Roosevelt made to the monopolies of big businesses, his trust bust campaign, and help to the common man. Roosevelt felt, as chief executive, that it was his duty to help ensure social justice and economic opportunity by making certain that there was government regulation with big businesses. Theodore Roosevelt was not a radical by any means. He believed that big businesses was inevitable with a growing industrial economy, but he knew that it must be regulated or else extreme
By using logos audience appeal, logical reasoning, he is presenting his audience with a straightforward way to help the American high education system recover. He states a rebuttal argument and gives the reader another idea toward cheating in a school environment. “Cheating now hurts American higher education; it might well be cheating that can begin to save it” (Chace 201). Cheating in higher education is more severe and frowned up then primary school. From reading this quote, it could mean that it does hurts higher education, but when someone cheats it is to be considered that a good grade was received. So people can determine that cheating

Sotomayor represents the Puerto Rican students that have an awareness of being unqualified in comparison to their white classmates. Her “deficiency of...written English,” a representation for other Puerto Rican students, is because of being raised in a culturally different background than a common upper-class white student’s background (110). The “deficiency” symbolizes the common sense belief that being white, and writing and speaking fluently in English, is a classification of the prevalent culture. Sotomayor, in her dissent in Schuette v. BAMN, explicates that “discrimination against an individual occurs because [of] that individual’s membership in a particular group” revealing that a Puerto Rican’s identity as a Puerto Rican, as an immigrant, as a minority part of the lower class, racializes them, creating drawbacks that are arduous and can be impossible to overcome, as in the case of her cousin Nelson, who being just as smart as Sotomayor, is burdened with an addiction that restricts him from succeeding (Schuette 45; Sottomayor 106). In 1972, Princeton, a prestigious school, was dominantly populated by upper class white males, causing the culture and heritage of many Puerto Ricans and other minority students to clash with dominantly white, upper class

The United State’s current president, Donald Trump, has begun pushing isolationist ideas into the people’s minds from day one. He claims that without strong borders and limited immigration, the people won’t be safe, which is a radical belief. “The radical club is always there,” writes Brooks,
...h continue to incite violence against Americans. However, the fact remains that a manager’s responsibility is to create a work environment that is free all prejudice to include religious prejudice, whether the prejudice is directed against Muslims, Christians or people of other religious background. Likewise, it is important for employers and Human Resource Managers be careful when trying to create a friendly or tolerable work environment for one religious group that in the process, they do not overlook other religious groups or show favoritism to one religious group over the other or this could violate the Equal Employment Opportunity Act.
Imagine one day you’re told to pack your bags and leave your home for a prison camp and you have no clue when or if you will return. This was decreed by Executive Order 9066, authorizing the internment of Japanese Americans. The island on which I live was the first location in the U.S. to implement this persecution of residents of Japanese descent. Prompted by war hysteria, this injustice was recognized in a presidential apology as a constitutional failure. The lessons gleaned from executive order 9066 can be applied to current issues in our world, nation, and even college campuses. Growing up with this awareness, I am acutely attuned to discrimination of groups based on their ethnic or religious identities
