De Bry Argumentative Analysis
6: After seeing the images created by De Bry, my view of Las Casas has changed. When reading his account, I did believe what he said about the things he witnessed, but I still questioned his documentation since there were lack of other testimonies in his letter. The art De Bry created was based off numerous accounts by dispersed people across numerous locations. This helps give me proof that Las Casas’ descriptions are

    Q2: 2A. Las Casas was located in the New World, more specifically, on an island where natives were enslaved by the Spaniards. He was right in the midst of encountering Indian treatment at its cruelest. It would be hard not to form a bias when Indians who seem to do no wrong are being tortured for what appears to be for the sake of the invader’s enjoyment.…

    Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…

Four white men that have decided that they are better and superior to Grant because of their skin color, despite the fact that Grant is an educated man who teaches, which is respectable.

    While the quote ”She would have been a good woman, . . . if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life” (133) critiques religion, it also presents a possible solution. If you have fear of God you can be a good christian, and that there is a chance for any person to be “good” and to go to Heaven; a nice situation for someone after they die. Another example of hope in the story is on page 130, when the grandmother told The Misfit that if he prayed Jesus would help him and The Misfit agreed with her, implying that He is always listening and willing to help you if you ask. Because O’Connor says that they are willing to help, she says that not every piece of religion is a burden or a rule and that faith is not just one way;…

    The technical aspects of losing weight such as regularly going to the gym and eating a strict diet is a tedious process that may be a motivator to NOT lose weight. We’ve already established that many people struggling with their weight do not feel happy in their bodies, but the act of losing that weight may never even happen. According to Sabinsky’s study on men, he discovered men “perceive too many barriers towards weight reduction” (Sabinsky). Sabinsky identifies that participants’ perceptions of necessary dietary change implied a potential loss of masculinity (Sabinsky). The sense of masculinity trumps the need to enhance their bodies and men would risk body weight and appearance for their dignity. This can explain why it’s noticable that…

    This argument analysis examines the article Recognise What? Problems with the campaign for constitutional recognition (Maddison, 2017). Published in the May/June issue of the Indigenous Law Bulletin, Maddison describes the process to recognise Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders as the first people of Australia in the constitution. The article explains this process through several accounts, resistance to the campaign and the role of the ‘Recognise’ campaign.

The analysis will identify the main claims, evidence used to support these claims and the assumptions made by the author. Maddison uses several forms of evidence to support her 3 main claims and the underlying assumptions.…

    In one of the grand theories of Freud vs. Erikson, I am strongly in favor of Erikson’s ideas as opposed to Sigmund Freud, in the fact that I agree that children’s developmental stages are more psychosocial than psychosexual. For example, I have two children of my own which I can correlate a lot of their behavior to Erikson’s stages. Babies cry in signal to their parents that something is wrong, when they feel nurtured and either the mother or father tend to their needs, such as diapering or feeding then they gain a sense of trust in their caregivers. My two year old son is at the stage now of initiative vs. guilt; whereas he has an adventurous spirit that leads him to “undertake many adult like activities” (Berger, 2014, p. 40). He is strong…

    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…

    William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury tells of a crumbling southern family, the Compsons, through the inner thoughts of three brothers and a third person narrator. Each of the three sections gives a different perspective on their sister, Caddy, who is the main cause of the turmoil in the family. The brother’s, Benjy, Quentin, and Jason, each interpret Caddy differently based on each of their interior conflicts. Benjy’s section gives the reader the perspective of the Caddy from a simple minded perspective, and describes Caddy as such. Quentin, being highly educated, gives a deeper look into Caddy and how she leads the family, and Quentin, to their end. Jason views Caddy as a disappointment and a curse upon the family. In Jason’s interpretation…

    Zoos, aquariums and circuses have had a lot of controversy over their uses of animals in captivity. After SeaWorld announced they will not have any killer whales in their facility people reacted with a cheer and some with sadness. The documentary released in 2013 on CNN “Blackfish” has made people's decision to stop going to and not agree with the animals in captivity all the more easier. According to Lisa Lange, senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has said “Change is already happening around the world.” For example, she mentioned Mexico, Spain and the U.S. have banned things to do with the exploitation of animals, such as animal circuses, bull fighting and the bullhook for training elephants. For other…

    Fidelity does not necessarily mean that everything written in the Constitution word for word is exactly correct. Fidelity does still have to leave some room for interpretation of the document. Not all parts of it are made clear so one has to interpret. The key to fidelity is that when interpreting the Constitution the individual doing so must do it in regards to what the rest of the document says. If the interpretation does not line up with the rest of the Constitution, it does not portray fidelity. The following statement in Meese’s essay backs fidelity quite well, “Where the language of the Constitution is specific, it must be obeyed. Where there is a demonstrable consensus among the framers and ratifiers as to a principle stated or…
