builds his argument using the Rhetorical devices anecdote, hypophora and rhetorical question; however, the limited use of procatalepsis weakens his argument a little bit. In his article, Marino writes about if we should do what we love or do what we do not what to
opinions about whether or not religious beliefs are expensive tastes. Overall, Maclure and Taylor are not successful in convincing their readers that religious beliefs are a legitimate reason for accommodation, rather, their counter arguments are more convincing than their arguments. Maclure and Taylor argue that it is better to seek ways to limit the potential abuses that come with accommodation

nature of Dewitt’s argument having possibly had the same experience in teaching this subject. Secondly DeWitt helps make his argument believable by addressing the audience after telling his story by asking “So this stuff is not that hard right? And now all of you understand it.” He does this to show that the way he told the story about the subject rather than quoting science terms from a book, helps to make science more understandable. Dewitt attempts to support his argument one last time by saying
LEVEL 1 Conclusion of main argument: Paul’s main argument in What You Can’t Expect When You’re Expecting is that it is impossible to make certain decisions rationally by imagining what it would be like if you chose one choice vs the other. This argument centers around decisions that involve transformative experiences; these experiences can be epistemically transformative in that one does not have the adequate information to predict what an experience will be like or personally transformative in that
writing and her bipolar disorder. Then, Woolf acknowledged the counter argument and refuted it in order to appeal to her logical reasoning. When she noticed the moth was having difficulties raising himself up, she “stretched out a pencil, meaning to help him to right himself, [but] it came over [her] that the failure and awkwardness were the approach of death. [She] laid the pencil down again” (2). She stated that the counter argument in which one should help those during their weak states, but she refuted
Bethel through her engagement of tones that are satirical, sarcastic and pensive makes an effective argument as to the fluidity of the Bahamian national identity. Whenever Bethel describes people thinking that “one” thing describes the national identity she always uses a sarcastic tone referring to that viewpoint as “absurd”, “extol” or puts air quotes around worlds like “authentically Bahamian.” However, when she describes her viewpoint she has a pensive tone with use of inclusive language like

Supporting Arguments for Parent Licensing In Hugh Lafollette’s paper, “Licensing Parents” he talks about the need for government licensing of parents. His argument states that for any activity that is harmful to others, requires competence, and has a reliable procedure for determining competence, should require licensing by the government. This argument relates to parenting because it can be harmful to children, requires competence to raise those children, and we can assume that a reliable procedure
improve their way of teaching. The argument then switches to the acknowledgement of counter arguments stating that many valued experiences come from the residential experience. Doing this Friedman appeals to the two sides of the argument, but in the end still proving the importance of the change of post-secondary education. Friedman uses the counter argument to build his points and make his reasoning more deep and complex. By using various methods of writing the argument, Friedman maintains a constant
Robin Collins begins his essay with an analogy of a perfectly sustained biosphere on the surface of Mars as an example of a fine tuned situation and considers the probabilities of the biosphere’s origins. Fine tuning is how we describe a specific arrangement of observations where the final outcome appears more purposefully designed rather than existing by chance or accident. He explains that the likelihood of the sphere coming into existence by a series of natural unplanned processes is much less
should neither allow nor encourage state-run lotteries. There are five major arguments that people use to defend lotteries. One is that most lotteries are run honestly, but if gambling is harmful to society it is irrelevant to argue if they are honest or not. The second is that lotteries create jobs, but there are only a small handful of jobs that would be eliminated if lotteries were put out of business. Another argument that would support keeping lotteries is that, other than gambling addicts, people
People protest the idea of cloning because many are mystified as to how it could be used and what its purposes can be. The purpose and use of cloning, in the scenario the paper is based on, is to save a life. This use and purpose of cloning is extremely specified in the sense that it would save a human being’s life. The fact that we, as humans, might be able to figure out how to clone so that lives could be saved is extremely exciting and inspiring. On the other hand, there is a time and a place
The Republic. Socrates is able to refute all arguments presented before him with ease. The discussion on justice in Book I of The Republic is one such example. Socrates successfully refutes each different view of justice presented by Cephalus, Polemarchus, and Thrasymachus. Socrates has not given us a definitive definition of justice, nor has he refuted all views of justice, but as far as we are concerned in Book I, he is able to break down the arguments of his companions. Cephalus is the first
and drugs. Parents are torn between protecting their child with spyware and allowing the child to have privacy. Coben uses his friends’ personal experiences to support his argument without leaving room for counterarguments. By using strong emotional appeals, weak qualifiers, and sugary word choice Coben creates a weak argument that lacks persuasion. To begin with, many parents look for a connection with the author when it comes to subjects dealing with children and privacy. Coben’s targeted audiences
not evil into itself, but bias can lead people astray (NASB Proverbs 16:2, 5; Romans 12:16). For this reason, believers must carefully present their beliefs in a loving way (NASB Ephesians 4:15). The authors of the appendix failed to present their argument in love. For example, in the first three paragraphs, they fire off shots at groups who do not have the same belief as they do. They used names and terms like “Skeptics,” “Secular Media,” and “Professing Christians” to emphasize their isolation from
following pages. In his essay, Jones indulges in a philosophical discussion where he presents arguments and counter arguments in a dialogue style. His background in philosophy probably led him to adopt such a style that puts forth an argument before obliterating it by another until the final, desired argument is presented to the reader. The author tries to bolster his point by shooting down unwanted arguments and leaving the desired one stand out in victory. Jones invoked many anecdotes and few studies
shows legitimate authority by presenting a strong rhetorical argument supported with strong evidence, and leaves it to the reader whether to accept or refute his evidence. He also proves to the reader that he is confident in his position and that he trusts the strength of his argument, and so should the reader. Dean was able to persuade the reader through the use of rhetorical strategies throughout the article in order to support his argument and gain the trust of the reader. He does a good job in persuading
The Rhetoric of Injustice Throughout history arguments and debate have been used to decide the fate of kingdoms, challenge a ruler’s authority or even decided where homes would be built. Without arguments our world would be bland and nothing like it is today. Being able to form a well built argument and use it properly is known as rhetoric. Ancient Romans and Greeks considered rhetoric to be one of the most important skills for students. Even today rhetoric is considered a great feat for all scholars
There are many arguments for moral realism, one of which is presented by David Enoch, who posits a unique explanation of how normative truths can exist. He argues for moral realism by using his Indispensability Argument, which explains the necessity of normative facts in deliberation. I will argue that Enoch’s claim is valid in that it fairs well against opposition, however it shows weakness by not addressing moral subjectivity. To begin, David Enoch defends moral realism using his Indispensability
