Summary: The False Promises
My news editorial is The False Promises in President Trump's Tax Plan by the New York Times written in Aug 30 2017. This article is about (as expected) the false promises in Trumps tax plan. There are a few subtle examples about the authors opinions such as placing somewhat unneeded negative descriptions and a caricature of Donald trump dropping a giant pile of tax documents on helpless victims (clearly biased). The author might feel so strongly because they are in the middle class and were jealous of the top 1 percent savings of about 175k while only saving about 0.8k themselves. In contrast, most small business owners love Trumps tax plan because they think they will get that 175 grand off. Although I am biased on this topic I still

    In my opinion this article was written with bias-based and under the groupthink fallacy. This is a typical stance for the FOX network and their staff. The author is suggests that everyone in the country is upset by the president 's choice. There is certainly an agenda in this article. There is also an undertone of Nationalism within the article because of the condition of…

    One example proving this is how Robert Reich is a democrat and they all tend to be anti conservative, yet this the article seems to be very reliable. He is the former labor sectary, meaning that he has years of experience dealing with the economic problems of this nation regarding the work force. The strength of the article would be how he acknowledges the pro’s and con’s of minimum wage, yet a major weakness is how unspecific he is when it come to how this will affect the nation. He is just discussing it on a local level, which is the futile purpose of this piece.…

    In “The Futile Pursuit of the American Dream,” Ehrenreich challenges the white-collar unemployed world to see what it is really like and expose the unfairness of that world. She makes misleading efforts to get a job by disrespecting and complaining to the people that she wants for them to hire her, she tries to find people who can guarantee her ideas and tries to get a job in PR since that is closest to being a journalist. She also created a resume filling it with lies that have some sort of realistic fact about her life, and tries to figure out how to hide her skilled accomplishments to find friends who are willing to lie about her employment history.…

    It was November, 15 1959 when what seemed like any normal Saturday turned into a nightmare for the Clutter family. The events that took place on that night shocked America thanks to the great author Truman Capote. The Clutter family had what some people may call the “American Dream” but I don’t think the American Dream can be stuck on one idea everybody has their own ambitions and dreams. The Clutters murder was an uncommon event not only because of the small town that it happened in but one of the murderers had no definite American dream. So I will be discussing the American dream that the Clutters were living, what the American dream means to me and the American dream that the murderers had.

    This article though could have appealed a tiny bit more to the life of less privileged kids in New York, although it mentioned the phone trucks it could have used more perturbation in some of the paragraphs. The wealthier children in various parts of New York did not have to pay to place their phones in these storage trucks but rather they could merely just shove it in their pocket and not get caught. I thought this was quite unfair , in your article I noticed many of weasel words and persuasive techniques you used to convey your own point of view.…

    Throughout the world, the United States is infamous for its guaranteed freedom to its citizens. People travel from all around many different parts of the world to get a taste of the lifestyle and opportunity the United States citizen’s are offered everyday. This nation thrives on preserving our personal freedoms, property, and liberty; moreover, it is the nation’s promise to its citizens.

    The unemployment rate has climbed ten percent in the last five years, that means there are currently 9,237,000 people unemployed in the United States.

Some may argue that out of the 318.9 million people residing in the US, only a small fraction of people are unemployed, homeless, or starving. Therefore, many believe that this ideal is possible and within grasp, but the truth is, the great dream is dead. The American dream is, indeed, an illusion, with unfortunate circumstances, with…

    After reading The Sociological Imagination Chapter One: The Promise by C. Wright Mills, I had mixed emotions about multiple topics in which he discussed. The overall subject of the Sociological Imagination is one that I found to be confusing. Firstly, I agree with his statement that, “Nowadays people often feel their private lives are a series of traps,” (Mills 1). This statement is then followed by the acknowledgement that humans, as individuals, are nothing but spectators of our everyday milieu. When going about our daily lives, many individuals feel as if they must do certain things because they cannot overcome the obstacles standing in their way. I agree with this idea because I personally feel as if some days I am “trapped” in my own life,…
