Summer Reading Book The book I chose to read for my summer homework was In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. Pollan has written many books regarding what to eat and how the foods we consume affect us. In this book‚ he opens with simple advice‚ “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants” (Pollan 1). As straightforward as it sounds‚ Pollan quickly demonstrates how complicated this can be. Food is all around us. However‚ there are whole foods‚ stuff you’d find at a farmer’s market‚ and then there are

impersonal‚ mechanical causal laws. To clarify hard determinism further‚ let me present hard determinism as an argument. Basically hard determinism argues that: (a) Determinism is true (b) Determinism is incompatible with free will (Holbach‚ 451).

An argument I found problematic is that of Walzer’s in his work titled “In Defense of Equality.” He believes that redistribution undermines achievement and ability and distribution should be based on intrinsic value. As stated‚ “The difficulty here is that making money is only rarely a form of self-expression‚ and the money we make is rarely enjoyed for its intrinsic qualities. In a capitalist world‚ money is the universal medium of exchange” (Walzer 400). Furthermore‚ talent is distributed unevenly

Sexual Morality Why Shouldn’t Tommy and Jim Have Sex? A Defense of Homsexuality 1. Homosexual sex is unnatural. I don’t recall anywhere in the Bible where God said it was okay for two males to conjoin in marriage or any other "activities." In fact in the book of Genesis‚ God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah by brimstone and fire for such homosexuality. I do not believe unnatural means that something is disgusting; something can be unnatural and disgusting‚ which homosexuality is. God did not
