Freeman And Friedman's Argument Analysis
Freeman and Friedman have very contrasting opinions on the goals and responsibilities of a business. Freeman supports the Stakeholder Theory in suggesting that anyone who has a stake in the firm deserves to be treated as a participating determining factor in the direction of a firm. They are not just a means to the end. Friedman pretty much says the opposite. He believes that businesses have no responsibility outside of those who have ownership in the company. In devising my own opinion, being part of the Millennial generation I feel that we lean more towards Freeman’s argument.

    Marc Prensk’s argument is that all textbooks should be banned and we should be using electronic textbooks. This way students and teachers will be able to access them from their iPad, iPhone, Tablet, or Nook. Prensky thinks that this would give the opportunity for more resources, and motivate the student to always read and refer to the textbook instead of just sticking it on the shelf where it would never be touched. “But I suggest that it 's time to go much further: to actually ban non-electronic books on campus.” (Prensky 1) He believed in freedom away from the page, and thinks that a collection of books and ideas in your pocket would be accessed more than books on a shelf. “Digital texts are also accessible anywhere, at any time, while…

    In the article written on February 13, 2010, NPR’s Ira Robert Krulwich talks with Barbara Smuts about why her glasses got all steamy when she went to the mountains of Rwanda to visit a wild gorilla preserve. Before Barbara Smuts became a psychology professor at the University of Michigan, she was also a field biologist in Africa where she studied animals such as baboons and chimps. According to Barbara, she sat with female gorillas, and across from where she was sitting; she caught a young female gorilla staring at her. This female gorilla had a friendly look. After a while, the gorilla stood up and walked over to her. She stood right in front of Barbara and pressed her forehead up against Barbara’s forehead. Gorilla’s breath caused her glasses…

    There are thousands of voices all trying to talk over one another, and it’s his job to see that they don’t. He does his best to offer each one of them a deal: go through him, and you’ll get an equal chance to speak with everyone. It’s a deal many of them take. Outside of their own circle, after all, most of these voices have little chance of reaching the limelight. If they let him act as a go-between, they can get a little farther out, even if it’s just to the other people desperate to be heard.…

    Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…

    As stated in Lee Bollinger's article, "admissions policies do not meaningfully affect a white student's chances of admission" so there is no actual proof that affirmative action is reverse discrimination against whites. Also affirmative action does not demean individual accomplishment, but enhances it because according to Nell Irvin Painter "without affirmative action, it never would have occurred to any large, white research university to consider [her] for professional employment." So if anything, affirmative action helps individuals have more successful lives by providing people with better opportunities than they would otherwise have. I think that Lee Bollinger's argument is the strongest, since he provides concrete evidence and actual…

    If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…

    Ketcham’s article brings light upon the harsh truth that the world is incapable of handling itself along with the growth of human consumption. Humans are proud of their innovations in earth, but it is costing the planet. The authors of Limits affirms this when they argued that “‘The application of technological solutions alone has prolonged the period of population and industrial growth, but it has not removed the ultimate limits to that growth’" [1]. I agree with this quote. For example, in a recent article I read, scientists have figured out how to essentially “hack” a better environment— a process called solar geoengineering. Although it proved to be beneficial to the environment, the scientist asserted that there will be less incentive…

    Carnegie has inspired women and men to use their funds to their communities. Although he advised other wealthy to use their money to benefit the communities and help in the preservation of the political system and America economy. I believe Mr. Carnegie’s argument is persuasive and is still relevant today. The wealthy, as well as small business owners, are the job creators in our society today. Their vision and leadership help to support the lower class in earning a decent living while allowing them to realize their own potential. The lower class today has more opportunities that were not available to them generations ago. While government is there to provide a safety net for those less fortunate, it is the wealthy and job creators that…

    In recent discussions of Susan Bordos reading about women’s pressures in society, one controversial issue discusses how women have expectations in society that they think they have to follow. These expectations consist of being able to cook and work in the kitchen, look beautiful, and dress certain ways to gain attention. In contrast, other arguments are; men do not have to worry about their weight, they should be strong and maintain a fit body, and not needed to cook or help out in the kitchen. Proponents of this position, emphasize that women in this world have to follow what society portrays of them, otherwise by not doing it, they will not receive the same attention as they would if they listened to society. Overall, the issue presented…

    Reasoning and Argumentation 101 with Professor Fields touched on and developed many skills that can be used in daily life when interacting with others and their diverse opinions and views. Throughout my daily conversations I would often find myself noticing fallacies I had learned from reading the book and my notes in others’ arguments and opinions. While I was not the most vocal in the class, I do believe that I applied the lectures to my everyday life more than others. As a result, I gained many valuable skills for evaluating arguments which brings me a form of entertainment when someone says something that has no logic when given deeper thought. Additionally, social media is trying to lure in its viewers with ads using the power of manipulation more than ever. However, the class has taught me to see through the tricks of social media and evaluate the ads. One of my favorite class homework assignments was evaluating an ad because the deeper meanings…

    Rowan's Argument Analysis

    Rowan believes that people have fundamental rights that other individuals should observe always. Rowan also criticizes people based on their rights is not only absolutely ridiculous but also irrational. Rowan argues that people have the freedom to criticize ideas because it is our sole right to a free society. Although Rowan argues that people should be free to oppose other people's ideas, the other argument put forward is that the failure to accept criticism or ridicule would ultimately lead towards oppression. Considering the above arguments about individuals and rights, it is pretty clear that Rowan supports care ethics, which holds that care and interpersonal relationships or benevolence are central to all moral actions. Rowan argues for…

    Burnham Argument Analysis

    This quote interested me greatly, and I also find this quote to be very logical. I am curious as to what Burnham means by “political stimuli”. I am not sure if by “political stimuli” he means the current status of the United States regarding its economy and foreign affairs, such as if the United States is at war, or if he means the characteristics of the nominees. For example, the 2008 presidential election was marked by an increase in voter turnout rates for African Americans and younger voters. I am curious if Burnham would argue that an example of the “political stimuli” which caused an increase in voter turnout for this election is that it is the first election where an African-American was nominated by a major party for the first…
