Kalam Argument Analysis
The Kalam Argument is based on the argument that the "actual infinite" cannot possibly exist. For this reason, the argument states that the origins of our universe cannot be traced back to infinity. If infinity is impossible, then the universe itself must have had a definite beginning. According to the argument, this definite beginning is caused by god. The Kalam Argument goes on to state that time itself did not exist before the universe was created and so the cause for the creation of the universe would have to be non-temporal. The Kalam Argument does not settle any question about the existence of a benevolent and loving god. The Kalam Argument simply states that the universe had a definite beginning and that there must have been a cause

    Pozdnyshev's Argument Analysis

    Two separate arguments take place: the old vs the present, and then the present vs the new. The old is denounced with statements such as “those times have passed” (Tolstoy & Katz 137) and “What barbarous views of women and marriage!” (Tolstoy & Katz 139). Then Pozdnyshev jumps into the aftermath of this first argument and shakes them all up with his statement about how love is always temporary: “this preference for one [person] may last for years…more often for months, or perhaps for weeks, days, or hours” (Tolstoy & Katz 140). Pozdnyshev is portrayed as winning this argument, as he is given the last…

    Butow's Argument Analysis

    Butow supports his argument by stating that the militarists’ “attitudes” eradicated any thought for surrender. Providing primary sources from Marquis Kido, Japanese governmental and military officials, Butow offers evidence that provides historians with a new perspective. The new perspective that Butow focuses on examines the terms of surrender offered to the Japanese at the Potsdam Conference. Through his investigation of the Potsdam terms, the author argues that Japan would have surrendered much faster if the United States had retracted the idea of unconditional surrender. Based on Butow’s arguments future historians would develop the author’s initial findings through their research and viewpoints on the terms of unconditional surrender.…

    Peter Lewiston's Argument Analysis

    Bohlander and Snell’s definition of sexual harassment “refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature” (Bohlander & Snell, 2013, p. 112). Thus, Peter Lewiston did not make any direct form of harassment based on the books definition of such; he did fall under the “Equal Employment Opportunity Commission” (EEOC) forms of recognized sexual harassment. Lewinson created a “hostile environment” which the EEOC recognizes, “can occur when unwelcome sexual conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with job performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment” (Bohlander & Snell, 2013, p. 112). As a result Lewiston created a sexually hostile environment for Gilbury based on the constant approaches, and unwanted or requested gifts; even though Gilbury had reputedly stopped his advanced in a proper manner.…

    Mr. Carnegie's Argument Analysis

    Carnegie has inspired women and men to use their funds to their communities. Although he advised other wealthy to use their money to benefit the communities and help in the preservation of the political system and America economy. I believe Mr. Carnegie’s argument is persuasive and is still relevant today. The wealthy, as well as small business owners, are the job creators in our society today. Their vision and leadership help to support the lower class in earning a decent living while allowing them to realize their own potential. The lower class today has more opportunities that were not available to them generations ago. While government is there to provide a safety net for those less fortunate, it is the wealthy and job creators that…

    I completely agree with you when you mentioned how people do not utilize a Toulmin argument as much because a lot of people do not have strong opinions on topics anymore or at least they do not express it. When I was making my response to this prompt and had to find an example of where people use the Toulmin argument format I had some trouble. Your explanation helped to answer my problem.…

    Tim Wise's Argument Analysis

    Tim Wise had a different childhood than most, he was raised by the phrase "Race matters." As a pre-schooler he was sent to a mostly black school and learned to respect black authority figures. This resulted in him being more racially aware while growing up. His main argument was that racial inequality still exists today. As he went through college, he became very involved in a group that advocated for better rights for people in Africa. Several weeks later, he was asked what he had done to address racism in his own city, New Orleans. He then realized he hadn't done anything in his own town. He began working for the next twenty years to advocate for racial equality still exists. The argument is made that white people are blind to their advantages and privileges. According to Wise, white privileges is built into our system and has helped us without us knowing. White people in the US have had many more privileges compared to people of color, it's just built into the foundation of our…

    Kimball Argument Analysis

    I really enjoyed this article. It has been one of my favorites thus far. Kimball had many quality arguments and opinions on what needs to change within the church. His main point of this article is stated on page 86, "I believe true emerging churches must go deep within, and form the inside out, rethink. reshape, and revalue how we are about everything as culture changes. We must rethink leadership, church structure, the role of a pastor, spiritual formation, how community is lived out, how evangelism is done, how we express our worship, etc. It is not about what we do in the worship service, but about everything". I agree with Kimball that the Church still has a lot of growing to do, and trough that growing there must be some changes made along the way. Over the years we have lost our way, and need help guiding us back on the right path.…

    Nietzsche's Argument Analysis

    Nietzsche argues that we can never know reality because our intellect is only a tool for survival. Intellect, he says, is “given only as an aid to the most unfortunate, most delicate, most evanescent beings in order to hold them for a minute in existence” (Reader, 1). The main use of intellect is to create stimulations of reality, which we are “acting a role before others and before oneself” (Reader 2). With respect to understanding our world, Nietzsche acknowledges the role that senses play in forming concepts. Sensory informations leads to words that in turn organize and describe a concept. He introduces the origin of a concept as we “equate what is unequal”(Reader 5). Information from different experiences are all categorized into one “arbitrary…

    Critical Argument Analysis Essay

    Self-preservation is said to be the reasoning behind the emotion of fear, in fact most fears our commonly shared among large groups of people. For instance the two most common phobias are; Arachnophobia the fear of spiders and Ophidiophobia the fear of snakes shared among most people in the United States today. The three level of fear are Internal, External and Subconscious, each level identifies with a certain situation that would bring that fear type reaction out of a person. Internal fear is conviction within you, external fear is something you would on all accounts avoid and subconscious fear is the act of your subconscious mind protecting you from an action it believes you should refrain from participating. I would safely say it is a natural part of living to have a fear of something, one would say it is human nature.…

    Critical Argument Analysis

    In the process of researching the selected topic regarding “Fear” there were many angles to consider in how ‘in depth’ the writers got into their topic. There were many questions to ask in how well the authors of the writings made their claims concerning the topic. As each author has his or her own way of reaching the audience it would be only right that his or her writing process reflect this. Each author has their own brand of emotion and logic he or she uses to reach their audiences, which in turn can affect each authors writing. Each author brings to the table a unique style of writing, one using technical/formal, one using a bit of technical/formal with a bit of informal thrown in. The third author was very informal toward their audience. In regard to this analysis this essay will reflect on each different aspect these authors bring forth in their writings concerning the topic “Fear.”…
