Chickens Home To Roost Analysis
1) (Chickens, Home to Roost by Maureen Dowd p.g. 24)
“Marco Rubio, a frothy focused-grouped concoction whose main qualifications to be president consists of a nice smile and an easy wit, has been mocking Trump as a con man.” This is an Ad Hominem within an Ad hominem. The author attacks Marco Rubio by making fun of him and his qualifications to be president. At the same time we see Marco Rubio has attacked Trump by mocking him as a con man.
2) (Defend Donald Trump’s right to free speech on cnn.com p.g. 12)
“There used to be consequences to protesting. There are not anymore. These people are so bad for our country, you have no idea, folks.” In this statement the author is quoting a statement from Trump. Two logical fallacies presented here are stereotyping and begging the question. Trump is stereotyping all protesters saying that they are bad for this country and asking others to accept this statement as true without any proof.

14)
“If you don’t stand up for Trump’s liberty today, someone may come for yours tomorrow. If we believe in free speech, we need to believe in Trump’s as well.” This is an either/or fallacy because the author is trying to convince us that there are only two sides to an issue, one right and one

    The Little Foxes Analysis

    The Little Foxes is set in the deep south, in the spring of 1900. This setting is historically at the cusp of what is referred to as the Gilded Age. The “Gilded Age” is considered to be the decades between 1870 and 1900 and is a term coined by Mark Twain. It was used to describe a period with many social problems that were masked by the rise of new money. Greed, scandal, and corrupt policies ran rampant during this time; however, as we look back, this was also a point in history where we grew economically and began to rise industrially.…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of Donald Trump's Speech

    On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

    Analysis Of 'American Flag Stands For Tolerance'

    Passage 1, "American Flag Stands for Tolerance," asserts direct ways that rights, freedom, and choices can be snatched. In the article it is stated that "each individual is to have the freedom to develop by his or her own lights, and not by the command of officialdom." Individuals should be able to live how they intent to instead of having the government decide how they should live. Furthermore why can people not stand up for their rights when "the flag stands for free expression of ideas, no matter how distastful?" People do not want other people interfering with how they want to live their lives. Having freedom snatched away can cause many individuals to do wrong things, such as burning the flag.…

    Fallacy: A Misconception

    Fallacy is a misconception resulting from incorrect reasoning. Even though we pay careful attention to our arguments and supports; we tend sometimes to commit mistakes. However, through critical thinking we could diminish faulty arguments. There are numerous significant topics to critical thinking. One aspect of these particular topics is the ‘fallacy’. In order to be a critical thinker, one should be able to recognize and avoid logical fallacies whenever possible. Discussed throughout this essay are three fallacious statements from the TV Patrol.

    Fourth Amendment Essay

    That is “those who give up liberty for temporary security deserve neither”. Although the meaning behind the quote is largely debated, I am taking it at face value. I believe that the government should have to stick to the spirit of the parameters set in the Fourth Amendment, which mandates that their must be a warrant as well as probable cause for search and seizure. Therefore, of the five options listed in the scenario, I wholeheartedly disagree with four of them on the grounds that they seem to violate the Fourth Amendment. For the sake of debate, the rights will be listed from most willing to give up to…

    Racist speech

    The essayist laments that libertarians in civil society who stoutly oppose the plea for clamping down on racist speech have turned away their ears from the cries of the real victims as they do not really understand or appreciate the nature and extent of harm suffered by the victims. Exposing the reality of how championing the cause of free speech for its own sake comes in conflict with…

    Argument Against Racism

    Argument Against Racism

    The whole point of this topic is to informed others that undocumented students are “undocumented, unafraid and unapologetic”; many undocumented are tired of living in the shadows and this slogan demonstrates that they should not be ashamed of being in the U.S. as undocumented. That they don’t owe anyone an apology for trying to get an education or that their parents came to pursue the American dream. This slogan means they have the right to be treated equally because they are humans. They have expressed their anger about Trump being the next president of the U.S. and many saw this as a wakeup call. In one way or another, we all have experienced or been victimized by racism. But undocumented immigrants are ready to fight for their rights; for instance, I asked some of my family members how they felt about this and some have said to give Trump a chance because if he fails we all fail. I agree, but I'm not willing to give Trump a chance he has expressed his true colors and I don't have compassion for him or his supporters. I…

    It Is Often Easier to Figth for Principles Than to Liv Up to Them

    One man said, “I don’t agree with what you say, but I defend with my life your right to say it”, thus, expressing the importance of the right of free speech. Many principles, for example justice, democracy and equality, which nowadays are taken for granted in the developed world, are the outcome of a long struggle through the ages. However, it is often said that people are more eager to fight for what they believe is right and just, than to live by the rules they have fought for. In my opinion, this is a solid argument which can be proven by several examples.…

    Keeping Peace and Freedom

    As President, he is sworn to protect his people, and to keep everything in order in our country. He travels the world to try and promote peace among us and other countries. In this speech that was given by the President, he is speaking to everyone. The General Public, Professionals, Students, and every other citizen. He speaks of freedom and how to protect our “homeland”. He states “the enemies hate us because we have freedom”. (P. #3). As Americans we have the freedom to live where we want to, and how we want to. Most of all we have the “Freedom of Speech”. We voice our opinions when we feel it is necessary, without being punished by the government. In America, we stand together as one nation, to keep peace and freedom!…
