Feinstein Argument
Feinstein strongly believes that higher education should be cheaper for individuals. She believes that expensive college tuition prevents students from enrolling to their dream schools and the student loan negatively affects their future decisions. As a result, Feinstein supports proposals to allow student loan borrowers to refinance both their federal and private student loans at lower interest rates (“Education,”n.d). Preserving the environment is another topic Feinstein is involved in. One of her top priorities is for our nation to do more research on renewable energy. This investment would allow the US to become the leading nation in clean air economy (“Energy,”n.d). Due to the past violent shootings, Dianne Feinstein continually advocates

    A male prisoner contends that California's refusal to allow male inmates to apply to the ACP violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. William Sassman is a male prisoner in the California Department of Corrections (CDCR). He applies for the Alternative Custody Program (ACP), which allows low-level offenders to reunite with their families early. Sassman, a father of two and a mother dying of colon cancer applies for ACP. He is denied by the CDCR solely on the fact that he is male. Jerry Brown writes this discrimination into law. Sassman files a lawsuit. Sassman v. Brown, 73 F. Supp. 3d 1241 (2015). Gay Grunfeld of Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld LLP, lead counsel for the plaintiff states that, “Denying men the opportunity to reunite with their families entrenches harmful gender stereotypes suggesting that only women can be caregivers, and harms children by preventing them from re-establishing and furthering their relationships with their fathers.…

    According to the Environmental Defense Fund, or EDF, “… we can solve climate change, invest in a clean energy future, and save billions in imported oil” (Samuelson). Many argue that the United States government cannot afford to become involved in energy initiatives and anti-global warming legislation; to counter, what other alternatives does the nation have? With the typical “family spend[ing] about $1,900 per year on home utility bills,” energy is costing this nation a fortune (“Energy Savers”). “With 2.5 people ii the average household,” family spending would drop from $1,900 per year to $91.25 per year (Samuelson). To say our government cannot afford this concept is an inaccurate, false, misguided statement.…

    Slippery Slope Argument

    • 689 Words
    • 3 Pages

    When one argues against an idea or action, one form often used is called the slippery slope argument. In a slippery slope argument, one takes a consequentialist view on the action in question, then extrapolates the further outcome sometimes based on evidence, sometimes not. For example, I might argue that my teacher should not eat chocolate ice cream, because of two reasons: Eating chocolate ice cream stimulates pleasure centers in the brain, and eating chocolate ice cream causes weight gain. Stimulating pleasure centers in the brain can easily become an addiction. The conclusion I reach is that if my teacher became addicted to chocolate ice cream it would only be a matter of time before he could not teach me, since he would be trapped in his bedroom, grossly overweight, watching Oprah and eating pint after pint of Ben & Jerry’s.…

    Edward Snowden Argument

    Edward Snowden was a hot topic in the news in 2013 after he released classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the media. This leak contained information about global surveillance performed by the United States, which involved monitoring email, tracking cell phones, and logging phone calls. Not only did this action force him into asylum overseas to avoid arrest, but it ultimately caused an uproar in the media and amongst the American public. The controversy surrounding Snowden involves the rights of the public vs. the surveillance programs performed by the U.S. While many condemn Snowden for betraying the national security of his country, many applaud him for exposing the…

    Terrorism has taken part of all of our lives. At least once a week, some type of terrorism has happened or tried. President Obama discussed how he took cautious views on fighting terrorism and Isis. Mr. Obama is reluctant to having more Americans die fighting at war with terrorism. Although, it's also understandable to just want to end the war completely. This is the Republicans argument. Republicans would just like to send troops to fight the war in the Middle-East ending once and for all. In order to the long awaited war, it takes more resources, like machinery, weapons, money, and troops. Republicans also feel the situation we're in now, it's vital to demolish any chance of Iran having nuclear weapons for protection of America and the rest…

    Dream Act Argument

    • 271 Words
    • 2 Pages

    As a young student in college myself, I take a different perspective on the DREAM Act. My parents earn a middle income salary and while some say we live the American dream, it is a struggle to pay for the high cost of my higher education. My family is not rich enough to pay for my college or poor enough to receive financial aid, so my only choice is to acquire loans to pay for my continued schooling. The DREAM Act would allow undocumented students to receive financial aid and in many cases receive a free college education, the same education that I am paying so much for. So is it fair for illegal immigrants to receive a taxpayer-subsidized education when U.S. citizens and law-abiding foreign students have to pay the full cost of their education?…

    of this country – especially in regards to affairs that are hazardous to both the health and environment of the people when the leadership of the country changes. There is this fear of how the country will function based on the President’s party lineage and that is a testament to how problematic and inconsistent the ideals of this country are when it comes to political topics, including environmental policy and climate change. Environmental racism and injustice, as a subset to the problems environmental policy brings, suddenly becomes acceptable and a sacrifice the leaders of this country have to accept in society because action will not be taken to reverse such issues or problems.
