Argument Paragraph

I stopped by a corner store when I got into an argument with a man robbing the store. I woke up one beautiful hot summer day and decided to enjoy it by skateboarding. I decided to go to a local skate park and skate with some of my buddies. After a long day of skating I decided to call it a day and head home, looking forward to opening the fridge. I was on my way home, passed by a small corner store and decided to go in for a drink. As I entered the store I noticed a man holding a knife on one the customers and the cashier was a young girl scared out of her mind. The man looked desperate and I didn’t want anyone to get hurt, so maybe I can reason with him. I told the man to “let the man go, nobody has to get hurt” but he was scared and seemed to be on the drugs and shouted back “no! Nobodies leaving until I get the money.” I tried talking to him calmly so he wouldn’t do anything he’ll regret. I said to him, “look, there are cameras here and your face and as well as our faces are on there , if someone gets hurt its going to go a lot worse for you.” He said, “I don’t care who gets hurt! Give me the money or this man is going to feel a lot of pain.” I said, “Okay let him go first and then you can have the money!” He replied, “No! Give me the money first and then I’ll let him go.” The cashier then took the money from the register and handed it to the robber and he grabbed it, he then ran out of the door and it was over. After a long day of skating I decide to stop by a corner store and get into an argument with a robber, in a life and death situation.

    An older man sits on the side of the highway holding a sign that says “hungry please help.” A man sitting a few cars ahead of you in a white BMW throws a can of soda at the old man and yells “get a job!” Another car cautiously gives the man some change, and the old man replies by saying “God Bless You!” As I pull forward I tell the man to meet me at the gas station just across the road and I will buy him some dinner. He is extremely grateful and slowly makes his way across the road. We both go in the service center and I allow him to get what he needs. We both pick several items and then I pay for them at the counter. The older man thanked me a thousand times and made his way to front door to sit just outside and enjoy his dinner. I follow him and sat down right next to him on the sidewalk and begin eating my dinner beside my new acquaintance. He began the conversation with telling me his name is Jerry Blackmore. We sat and chatted for about 10 minutes all the while several people we giving both of us dirty looks as they walked in to the service station. Finally Jerry started telling me about his life.…

    After several minutes of standing there alone waiting for my bus, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Naturally I pulled my phone out to look at whatever notification it could have been and to check the bus schedule. As I did this, I saw the outline of a man who appeared to almost walk past me before doing a quick turn to my front right side. Letting him take his position I made my second mistake. I quickly put away my phone into my pocket and the man began to speak. "Hey man I really need some help I have been sleeping here for a few weeks now and I really need the money to get on the train you think you could help me out with twenty bucks?" The man was dirty and made a big deal about how his shoes were all worn down but in reality they looked fine. "I would love to help but I don't carry cash on me sorry man" I said trying to dismiss the situation and get on with my day. I had other things to worry about like this test and whether or not I was going to pass. Or so I thought. The man tattoo on his face or possibly a bruise hell it could even have been dust slowly began to reach and grasp at his front pockets of his pants and then slid his hand into his hoodie and pointed something at me. "You don't…

Anyway, I was on my way to our date when all of a sudden this man is thrown right out the side of an SUV and lands on top of me. It was crazy. I immediately pick up the gun he has on his waist.

    Arguments based on emotion work in different media by getting the audience to feel a sense of what the advertiser is trying to convey. The effectiveness of these arguments differ based on the promoter and what they are trying to present. For example, if the promoter is trying to get a message across through a book, they have to include something that might interest readers. Unlike books, if they are trying to advertise something through television, they include something that might interest people who like watching T.V., such as “couch potatoes” etc. The approach for magazines is different. If someone is already reading a magazine they are in for ads therefore it is much easier to grab their attention. However, arguments based on emotion vary significantly on websites. You can go from a positive response to an extremely negative response in a few seconds, therefore you must be careful. Certain things an ad might portray may go against what someone believes and will instigate “hate” comments which technically may not deserve that type of classification. Others may be able to receive the emotion the ad is trying to present and therefore the ad can be successful. Newspapers are an emotionally colder source than television news in my perspective because when you are watching the news, the reporters can sound a little enthusiastic, delivering the news in a hopeful manner. When reading the newspaper, you can only interpret it how you envision it and so if the tone of the paper is depressing, then it would be emotionally colder.…

    “Offense sells tickets, defense wins championships.” “The best offense is a great defense.” Many have heard these popular phrases in the sports world. It’s a popular theory that spreads throughout almost all sports and is constantly embedded into the players’ minds. Could these phrases be wrong? What if it’s actually the other way around? I believe so; I think that great offenses are the best philosophy in any sport.…

    For My discussion forum, I decided to view the Ted Talk title "The jobs we'll lose to machines -- and the ones we won't" by Anthony Goldbloom. In the video, Anthony describes how machine learning is revolutionizing the traditional way we work. He cites a 2013 study done by Oxford University where the researchers predict that one in every two jobs is at a high risk of being automated by machines.…
