In this paper I will be discussing two arguments models; one is from a philosopher‘s view and the other is from a psychologist’s view. I will explain how and why these models are important. I will also discuss my understanding of the thinking and justification of each model of argument by compare and contrasting the two arguments.…
The Alaskan National Wilderness Refuge has been the topic of political debate for decades. A large, beautiful piece of the world, ANWR as it is often referred to, is not a only a refuge for hundreds of species of birds, fish and mammals, but also a political battleground that is used to ignite the debate on America’s dependence on foreign fuel sources. The possibility of drilling for oil in ANWR brings with it the promise of jobs, dependency from unstable countries for our fuel needs and a boost to our declining economy. However, drilling in this land also brings the possibility of destroying the habitat of birds that migrate to this area yearly, caribou that use this haven as a calving ground, fish that fill the rivers and lakes, as well as grizzly bears, wolves, elk and hundreds of other species that depend on this habitat for food, shelter and safety. There is no debate that there are passionate debates, important facts and amazing possibilities that concern both sides of this argument. And even if it were possible to remove political agenda from the table, it would still be a very difficult debate to win for either side. My hopes are to come to a conclusion that would benefit both parties involved. I strongly feel that any drilling in this area would be detrimental to the surrounding area, as well as bring possible harm to the countless animals, birds and fish that use this safe haven yearly for migration, calving and egg laying and feeding. The decision to either drill or not to drill may not have a direct impact on us now, but in the years to come, good or bad, we will all see the changes that this decision will have resulted in.…
Millions of people fly annually. Almost everyone has or will travel by plane in his lifetime whether he is traveling for the holidays, visiting family, or important business trips. This must mean that they must have been at an airport, and if they have been to an airport, that means they have shared the experience of airport scanners. After 9/11, security measures have been increased which seems to have led to racial profiling. The major frustrations for many Americans are the Airport Security Scanners. Scanners were created since 1992 when Dr. Steven Smith first created them. Their primary purpose is to detect anyone who is trying to smuggle any harmful object or substance that could be used as a weapon onto a plane. Some welcome the machines as protection and others see as the same threat the scanners try to pick up. It now bubbles down to the question “Should scanners or pat-downs be required to go through if one wants to travel by plane?”…

“America's first rebel”... Roger Williams. This essay will be about the life of Roger Williams, and how he founded the providence which became Rhode Island, and came to what we call today, America. His strong religious beliefs may had made him unpopular, but that didn’t stop him from concurring the world with his strong beliefs.

Yes, I believe argumentation is beneficial. It’s very different than a one on one, where the ultimate goal is to be the winner. An effective argumentation, helps a group understand more than one viewpoint and helps them make more informed decisions. Sorry, to hear the person on social media was more interested in calling people stupid, then he was in being informed of his own mistakes.…
The cosmological argument seeks to prove the existence of God on the basis that the universe has not always been in existence and so for it to be created, an external cause was necessary; this outside agent is viewed as God. It creates à posteriori knowledge which provides inductive explanations and makes conclusions on ideas based on actual experiences. It is a non-propositional argument so it cannot be proven but can be argued by offering experience as support.…
For this week forum 6; I had selected The Struggle for Human Rights by Eleanor Roosevelt, and the purpose for this article or speech is to try to persuade the Member States of the United Nations in the General Assembly to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and due to the introduction to the Rogerian method of argumentation that can be useful for solving issues which do not have clear right or wrong sides. This method shows an openness and respect to the other side, shows a lack of bias towards this other side, but still attempts to persuade this other side to believe a specific, albeit less absolute, claim. She develops the central claim using these supporting claims: “this…

When arguing have you ever thought of the other person’s reason? Trying to understand their reason or cause could help people. This could also help with learning new things. Listening to their opinion of their argument can even change the earlier opinions someone had. Seeing from another person’s point of view can help people with thoughts, understanding, conclusion. Someone’s point of view can make people’s thoughts work more. Trying to see from someone’s view will make people think of different ways to view what the other person sees. The thoughts would be why, when and where. With so many thoughts someone could learn more. Learning from their thoughts could become useful later. The more someone learns the more they think. The people must learn to understand. Understanding the other person’s view is a vital thing. Not understanding the person or their reasons would make their view useless. Understanding the questions helps to see their view. Having some understanding on the view would make it so much easier to see what the other person sees. Understanding helps learning of someone’s view. People try to understand things each day so seeing from someone’s view should not be any harder. After understanding people have a conclusion. After thoughts and understanding it all ends with conclusion. When someone has viewed what another person sees they get their conclusion. People make a conclusion when they agree or disagree with someone’s view. Having a conclusion verifies that someone has gone through their thoughts and understanding. The conclusion can help with having a final opinion. Having a conclusion, thought, and understanding can help people. Learning these things will help to view someone’s argument.
