Hillary Clinton What Happened
The following quote is from Hillary Clinton’s book What Happened?. "There's nothing I was looking forward to more than showing Putin that his efforts to influence our election and install a friendly puppet had failed. I know he must be enjoying everything that's happened instead. But he hasn't had the last laugh yet." This statement is an abusive argument against the person as it refers to the president as a “friendly puppet.” This means that she is mentioning how she had hoped to stop Putin’s supposed influence on the 2016 presidential election and how he must be enjoying what was accomplished due to this supposed affiliation. An argument against the person, or ad hominem, is a response to someone else and is not a fully reasoned argument

    Washington Week Summary

    In this episode of Washington Week we watch as Susan Davis, Alexis Simendinger, Michael Duffy, and John Harwood discuss the issue of how Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz use Donald Trump as a punching bag in the last Republican debate and if it altered Trump's campaign indefinitely. In the beginning of this episode we see how Trump, Rubio, and Cruz battle each other to prove who would be a better president, however Cruz and Rubio were prepared to team up and bombard Trump with child like arguments. For example, Rubio calls Trump a con man and gets a laugh out of the audience when he says, “Well now he’s repeating himself” and that Trump, “wanted to make sure his pants weren’t wet”. Likewise, Cruz reveals to the audience that Trump says he will go to…

    The Arguments In Shelley's Essay 'They Say I Say'

    Within the chapters five and six of, They Say/I Say, by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, they believe that while writing an essay, one may use many tools to help them strengthen their arguments. For example. Instead of rambling on about why a writer’s argument is credible, a writer may address criticism that others might say, and can use counter arguments to lengthen and strengthen their argument. When a writer does not implement counter arguments within their text, they may seem close minded. However, when using a counter, or what Birkenstein and Graff call a “Naysayer,” a writer must accurately represent that individuals view. When a person is addressing a nay-sayer, they can either keep them anonymous, or give them proper labels. Although,…

    Religion is detrimental to the commonwealth. Throughout history, religion has influenced numerous governmental decisions, displacing individuals from the rest of society.

    It consists of a group of statements with one or more statements (premises) supporting another statement (conclusion). In Critical Thinking, argument is an act of presenting reasons to support individual’s position or point of view. It is not quarrel or dispute.

    Definition Essay: The Meaning Of Argument

    In the world today, the word “argument” is used on a daily basis and usually carries a bad meaning. In fact, the word is used so much that people often mistaken it’s true meaning. According to the book Writing Arguments by John Ramage, John Bean and June Johnson, there is no universally accepted definition of “argument.” The meaning of the term is rather complex, and it has been remained a controversial issue of philosophers and rhetoricians over the centuries (2). Because of the complexity of the word, we need to examine three important points in order to understand what “argument” truly meant: the misconceptions about the meaning of argument, the features of argument, and the relationship of argument to the problem of truth.…

    Hillary Clinton's Loss Of Respect

    This nation today is focused on being liked by others and the status quo of others. In order for someone to like another, they have to have respect for them. In order for someone to have an opinion about someone, it takes a strong person to have respect for the other’s opinion. The nation we live in today has lost respect for one another’s rights. If everyone had respect for others there would not be as many wars or terrorist attacks. Notice I said, “not be as many”. We, as humans and as people of earth, will never reach a state of peace. I believe this because there are too many opinionated people with big personalities that will always want a voice and will do whatever they can to get it. These people have respect for themselves and their beliefs. For example, Donald Trump, he has been wanting a voice in politics for a very long time, so he decided to run for president. He does not have any respect for the Republican establishment because he does not care if he offends them. He has lost the majority of respect of the black community, Muslim community, and LGBTQ community of America. Hillary Clinton has lied on numerous occasions her stand in the Benghazi and US war. She has lost the respect of those deceased soldiers’ families.…

    How Hillary Clinton Changed My Life

    When I was a child, I was very shy. I didn't like talking to other people, or even being around others for long periods of time because it made me very nervous. My parents signed me up for theater to force me out of my comfort zone, and I fell in love. I became the person who I am today, a confident, energetic social butterfly, because I was exposed to something new that made me grow as a human being. Even though people can grow to become experts in a specific field, if they don't step outside of their comfort zone, they will never grow as a person because growing as a person involves trying new things and taking risks. Trying new things is key to personal growth. An example of this is Hillary Clinton. When Clinton was a child, she…
