Bridge Of Spies
I actually enjoyed the movie Bridge of Spies, even though I never heard of it. It is funny how on one side we as people wanted to make sure the book was thrown at Mr. Rudolph for being a spy but we send spies out to do the same thing yet when they are caught we want them freed and return home safe and sound. Mr. Donovan was the only person who put his personal believes to the side and focused on the case through the eyes of the law. He know and wanted to address from the beginning that the evidence found was fruit of the Poisonous tree because there was an arrested warrant but no search warrant.

Is it difficult for you to see both sides of an issue?
No, it should not be difficult seeing both sides of an issue. I believe it is a good thing to see every case from both sides. Seeing every case for

I don’t believe that it would be hard for me to make arguments in support of positions in which I personally do not agree with. The support of the positions comes from a legal standpoint and not my personal beliefs. I don’t agree with everything that is law but nevertheless it is still the law.

How will you overcome this if it is a problem?
If there is a problem with supporting an issue which I personally don’t agree I would first remove all my personal, religious, and traditional views. Then I would take the time to focus on the legal issues at hand and just apply the laws and statutes while reviewing the case.

If it is not a problem for you, how do you approach writing such arguments?
The difference between the approaches is whether that analysis is expressed objectively or persuasively. [1] “The goal of objective writing is to inform and predict using a neutral point of view, with careful attention to OBJECTIVITY (as in an objective memo), while persuasive writing is aimed at creating a desired outcome with a specific AUDIENCE (as in an appellate brief)”.

    This is a movie about the Battle of Mogadishu or commonly known as Black Hawk down. It started on the 3rd of October with what was supposed to be a quick “snatch and grab” operation. The operation was only to last thirty minutes. Under the command of Capt. Mike Steele they were to insert soldiers to capture two top lieutenants of a warlord Mohamed Farrrah Aidid. Things went terribly wrong when a black hawk was shot down by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade). It then became a rescue mission to save the soldiers from the crash site. The next thing they knew there were hundreds of Somali gunmen. They were now fighting for their lives. In the process of fighting their way to the crash site another black hawk was shot down. Now Rangers and Delta Force were fighting their way to two crash sites. In the process they secure the first crash site and are blocked in almost every direction. At a certain point in time two Delta Force snipers volunteered to cover the second crash site until a convoy could help get the downed pilot CW4 Michael Durant and in turn gave their lives defending him. They fought through the night facing thousands of militia, women and children. On the morning of the second day they secured the second crash site while the pilot CW4 Durant was captured. Then was the move to get out of the city alive. A convoy made up of UN and 10th Mountain Div. were to extract the injured soldiers. With not enough room in the vehicles the remaining soldiers had to get out of the city on foot. Running through the city running low on ammunition and energy they made it to the stadium in the UN Safe Zone.…

    The goal of argumentative writing is to persuade an audience. Academic writers use rhetoric (language designed to have a persuasive effect) to persuade or convince readers that their position on an issue or topic is the correct one. In his study of rhetoric, the Greek philosopher Aristotle designed a model called a “rhetorical triangle.” This model describes every act of speech or text as being composed of three parts: the subject, the speaker, and the audience. According to Aristotle, all three points on this triangle must be taken into consideration in order to produce a successful persuasive…

    Persuasive to me means to express your opinion or argue a point of view and/or idea. Expository writing is writing that explains something that is based on facts verses based on opinion. Technical writing is writing that is used primarily in engineering and scientific work, which explains procedural steps and explanations of different terminology. I feel based on the type of language used, how convincing the factual information is, and how the attitude of the author is determines the persuasiveness of the writing, so either writing could be persuasive.…

    More persuasive writing includes more emotionally loaded words and phrases—unlike argumentative writings and speeches, which tend to rely more on the cold, hard truth to make their points. By including personal stories and emotional appeals, writers and speakers provide more convincing arguments and are able to sway more of the audience to their point of view.…

    The main point that our group made surrounded the controversy that if 13 year old girls are vaccinated against a sexually transmitted disease such as HPV, it could increase sexual activity. However, research by Bednarczyk et al., 2012 found that HPV vaccination had no increase in the markers of sexual activity (testing for pregnancy and STD’s, and counselling for contraceptives). The vaccine does not appear to be changing sexual behaviours, only protecting those when they eventually engage in them.…

    As expected, there is a "pro-choice advocate" which is someone who feels that the woman 's right to choose should come before anything, even human life. The main argument of "pro-choice" advocates is naturally that women should have the right to choose what happens to their own bodies. They use the Roe vs. Wade case of 1973 to support their arguments. Roe vs. Wade has provided a fundamental basis for nearly all of the laws regarding abortion that exist today. It ruled that "the right of privacy... is broad enough to encompass a woman 's decision whether or not to…
