Cognitive Distortion Argumentative Analysis
I am working on the cognitive distortion worksheet and is going well with the first three questions, but the last questions “How will you avoid using this cognitive distortion in the persuasive essay you are writing for this class?” I’m having a hard time trying to placed the cognitive distortion I picked into my persuasive essay. Do you have any tips? Another thing, is it me or most of the cognitive distortions a similar to each other? So far I have Global Labeling, Catastrophizing and Overgeneralization.

    The topic I chose to examine was the “1992 Republican National Convention Address: A Whisper of AIDS” by Mary Fisher (1992). I was impressed with how even keeled she presented her speech. If there was any bias, then I had trouble detecting it with one exception; that she implied that if you are ignorant and believe the hype that only minorities, gays, and drug users can contract aids. (Fisher, 1992). I feel that it was a rhetorical analogy that she used with fear to get her point across when she used an example of scare tactics in the quote:…

    During the discussion on Washington Week, Gwen Ifil and her colleagues focused on Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. The Republicans had their last debate before Super Tuesday and both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz just attacked Donald Trump. This time Donald Trump couldn't seem to defend himself, but have no fear, Chris Christie is here. Chris Christie gladly gave an endorsement to Donald Trump to help him bounce back from the shakey debate. John Harwood thought you can't get anymore mainstream than the governor of New Jersey. Gwen Ifill responded with "Endorsements don't do much," but because both Trump and Christie like the spotlight they are a perfect match. As Super Tuesday started approaching, the candidates started doing their best…

    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…

    After Reconstruction the states that resided in the north were primarily Liberal Republican. This was due from Lincoln’s association with the Republican Party, and the role he had on equal treatment for blacks during the Civil War (Boles pg. 570). Also, the term liberal is associated with the progressive party, which means looking forward. In contrast, the south was primarily Conservative Democratic, with the term conservative associated with being stuck in old ways of doing things. This implies that they did not agree upon the equal opportunities among blacks and whites, because they viewed blacks more as servants. This way of thinking stemmed from before the Civil War, when slavery was still in common practice. So, one of the main divisions between the two parties was the issue on race. Today the south is largely associated with the Conservative Republican platforms, and the north being associated with the Liberal Democratic platforms. The purpose of this paper is to explain how the South transitioned from this solidly Democratic region to one that is today largely recognized as solidly Republican, through the platforms of key politicians had on…

    I agree with the argument because you can be more social without a computer or phone. Jorge Cruz said in paragraph 5, “I think it’s important to face other people and speak up for yourself” I can agree with that because i don't have a phone but i do have a computer which i don't go on every day but i still make friend out of school. but if you on your computer or phone all day then you don't go outside and you don't make new friends and to have a real friend is to meet them face to face. You also can't have a girlfriend. In paragraph 4 Jorge Cruz said;”One over my friends was even involved in a relationship with a girl from another country, whom he met through the internet and never seen in person” I also agree with that because one of them…

    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.…

    Analogical argument for animal minds is weaker, since the strength of the argument is a function of the degree of similarity between the reference class and the target class. Humans are probably more similar to one another than they are to members of another species. While some researchers working with great apes have expressed concern about the argument from analogy (Povinelli et al. 2000; Povinelli 2000), it has been pointed out that those concerns do not accurately target analogical arguments for the existence of animal minds (Allen 2002). Furthermore, recent uses of analogical argument to defend animal consciousness have been based on careful investigation into the causal powers of the reference property (Varner 2012).…
