Sosa's Unreliable Argument Analysis
In the document, Sosa is unreliable because he never states any real statistical facts. In the passage he only states sceniors and never provides evidence that backs up his hypothesis. Not only this but Sosa said in his article, “These are all just hypothetical! Who Cares? Get real!” proving that his scenarios are unreliable. Not only this, but Sosa takes the side of the argument that states that happiness is not a state of mind.

    Argument Analysis: Bixa Orellana

    Bouvier, Dogbo, and Camara studied whether it is possible to produce bixin using the microorganism E.coli. Bixin is a pigment that is only synthesized naturally by the plant Bixa Orellana (from tropical America), and it is the second pigment used in the world, for example in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries. The authors presumed that engineering genes in sink organs of plants presenting high amounts of lycopene could be an alternative to the natural occurring Bixin, which would be advantageous in the market.…

    Marc Prensk's Argument Analysis

    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…

    Arguments Of Sonja Lyubomirsky's The How Of Happiness

    “If you’re not happy today, then you won’t be happy tomorrow unless you take thinks into your own hands and take action” states Lyubomirsky in her excerpt from her book The How of Happiness (Lyubomirsky 185). Dr. Lyubomirsky makes an effort to explain what are the different parts that determine human happiness and how can that happiness be improved. She makes the argument that although 50% of happiness is determined by a genetic “Set Point,” an individual can still become happier through intentional activity or action, which accounts for 40% of total happiness according Sonja Lyubomirsky. In the context of self-help happiness books and philosophical arguments, Dr. Lyubomirsky goes against the grain by making the argument that genetics does…

    Argumentative Methods Of Adele Douglas And J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

    Adele Douglas and J. Kenji Lopez-Alt both start their argumentative piece by defining who their argument is targeted to as well as what they will be arguing. Over the course of the two contrasting papers, they both use similar and contrasting methods to try and convince the reader of their opinion. By doing this, a number of flaws as well as good techniques can be seen in both writings.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Paired Argument Analysis

    Published in the New York Times, Murray is addressing a primarily liberal audience. However, it is read by a general audience both liberals and conservatives between the ages of twenty and sixty because it is circulated nationwide and internationally. This newspaper reaches the educated upper, middle, and lower classes. Murray includes himself in the same category as the reader, however his tone and word choice suggest that he sides with Summer's radical comments and this in turn weakens his argument as a whole.…

    Parfit's Argument Analysis

    Furthermore, the fact Parfit uses “happiness” and “quality of life” interchangeably leaves room for debate. Because he does not accept utilitarian happiness as being objective, the reader must again make an assumption: that Parfit believes happiness is subjective. If subjectivity is the case in terms of measuring happiness, then whole population comparisons and contrasts cannot be formulated. Though this may seem to swing in favour of Parfit’s argument, as it dismisses the utilitarian method of measurement altogether, it actually works against his aim. The irony following the assumption that Parfit believes subjectivity to be the true measurement of happiness is that his own argument also presupposes happiness amongst populations in order to…

    Fair And Fast Argumentative Analysis

    The topic sentence is clear in this paragraph but is missing information. I expected to be reading about Vancity’s launch of Fair and Fast and that is what is included; detailed information was given to expand on what is Fair and Fast and how it operates. I do think that topic sentence should have included talking about low-income needs in order for me to anticipate the information included in the paragraph where Jerry Buckland is quoted and his experiences and expertise is quoted to support the need for small short-term bank loans that available to more people. I would have it read: In June 2014, Vancity launched Fair and Fast, offering sums between $100 and $1,500, addressing a need to serve low-income Canadians. By including the key points…

    Anselm Ontological Argument Analysis

    Anselm is not trying to say that whatever one can think of exist because, everyone can think of something that does not exist. Neither is he trying to saying believing in something without any doubt makes it exist. Finally Anselm might believe in God, he is not trying to convince us that God exist but rather he is trying to show us that once one understands or grasp the concept of who or what God, then based on logic it follows that God has to exist. Anselm ontological argument follows that if one makes an assumption and can show things that follow from that assumption lead to contradiction, then the initial assumption is rejected and conclude the opposite…

    Grammerly And Safe Argument Analysis

    My experience using Grammerly and Safe Assign has been quite favorable. Although I make a full-fledged effort not to plagiarize, I find myself at a loss of words when trying to summarize information which has been written so eloquently. I have a process set up which seems to have worked as of now. First I read an article and highlight all of the points or paragraphs which I think are of particular interest. I then take a break from this task and come back to it. I try to put in my own words what I feel is the essence of the paragraph I just read. I find that by giving my brain a break I can synthesize and make sense of what I read. if I try to take notes and summarize what I am reading, I find myself just rewriting the same article. Lastly…

    Pyrrhonian Argumentative Analysis

    The method of skeptical inquiry or way by which Pyrrhonian skeptics bring themselves to withhold assent to every non evident proposition is known as the modes of suspension of judgment. There are five such modes that Sextus provides and they are based on: Discrepancy, regress ad infinitum, relativity, hypothesis and circular reasoning. (Empiricus, 165–169) The modes are designed to assist Pyrrhonian skeptics in in continuing their inquiry by guarding themselves from the disquieting state of dogmatism. For the sake of argument, suppose there is a dogmatist who believes that P. In order to avoid the snares of dogmatism, the Pyrrhonian skeptic would resort to withhold assent about P. According to the mode deriving from discrepancy, due to an undecidable…

    Everything's An Argument Analysis

    Capitalism. The word means, an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. In other words, capitalism is pro-business and anti-government. In the book, Everything’s an Argument, on page 26, there’s a bumper sticker on the bottom of the page with the word Capitalism in bold, italicized white letters. It has a similar look to that of the word Coca-Cola on the bottles. I take this as an inference to the person who made the bumper sticker wanted the audience of everyone to take a liking of capitalism, as they do for coca-cola. I came to this conclusion, as whenever you see a coca-cola commercial, the person always seems to be glad to have one of these…

    The Conservative Argument Analysis

    I've always felt that the conservative argument against any form of social aid springs from pure self-righteous delusions. These conservatives are hasty to claim that no one has ever helped them, so they have no cause to help others. Let us set aside that as Americans, Americans should be compelled, even slightly, to help fellow Americans in need. Better yet, as citizens of the world, everyone should be compelled to help fellow global citizens. Let us set aside ideas of global obligation, compassion, and interconnectedness—that we are in fact not islands unto ourselves and that every bell tolls for each and every one of us.…

    NA Argumentative Analysis

    The topic of gun control is hotly debated today. 50 % of the population are for it, believing that having a gun provides them with protection. Because of various reasons the government aren’t able to protect us, which is why people look for other ways to stay safe. However a gun is still a weapon. Despite the fact that people want to have to be on the safe side there were many accidents were an innocent people end up hurt unintentionally.
