Kim Davis's Argument Analysis
As a Christian, I found this argument quite mind-altering. On page 9, there is a recap of the argument in dialogue form. After reading this section, it made me realize I would've responded with the exact same answers as Kim Davis did. I've always interpreted the Bible as the foundation and guide for my life, but does this make me avoid doing some difficult moral thinking for myself? OR how can I not be interpreting the Bible as an enumerative guide and instead as a change in my worldview? I believe the Bible works through people beyond what it says because it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12).
I also found it interesting that the argument only referred to scripture from the Old Testament. With the coming of Christ, God has established a new

    This article was written by Maggie Astor, a reporter on The New York Times, a newspaper considered to be one of the most reliable source of information. Astor also has a degree in political science from Barnard College, therefore the information she provided is highly credible. In the article, she reports of a recent Dove ad that caused an outcry in the social media for its racist undertones. Astor quotes Dove’s spokeswoman and her apologetic remarks, stating that the ad was intended to convey a different message and that the company will re-evaluate its internal processes for creating and reviewing content. Critics are unimpressed of the apology. Astor then lists examples from the past of ads that were accused of racism: Intel, Popchips, Nivea…

    The author employs sufficient sources and data to support her claim. Miller cites from various and professional organizations to strengthen her argument. For example, Miller utilizes a study done by Bettina Hoeppner from Harvard to illustrate the discrepancy of alcohol consumption between men and women. Miller often refers to NIAAA for her argument and uses the data from NIAAA as a baseline for excess alcohol consumption. Miller also seems to favor one specific intervention program, the BASICS program, that helps to prevent and decrease dangerous drinking activities among teens and young adults.…

    Magtadt defines liberals has typically holding civil rights close to heart. They are often the primary defenders of individuals or groups that they see as victims of past discrimination, such as racial minorities, women and the poor (p. 37, 2015). Although identifying as independent she has quite often voted along with the liberal side of the Supreme Court. However, it can be said that unlike other liberals Sotomayor takes a more case-by-case approach. Sotomayor has shown a willingness to side with conservative in cases pertaining to criminal law, no doubt an influence of her time as prosecutor. For example, in Wetzel v. Lambert back in February 2010, she sided with the conservative bloc’s majority opinion to reinstituting a convict’s death…

    There are times when people are put in the position in which they must choose between being selfless and helping others or not doing anything and only worrying about themselves. If the people choose to disregard their own safety and put another person’s life before theirs, it shows how ethically responsible they are. For an action to be ethically responsible, it must be done out of someone’s own intention to ensure the wellbeing of someone else. Ethical responsibility is defined as the obligation to do something that is morally sound in order to make sure a person is in good physical and emotional health. In the article titled, “Can the Law Make Us Be Decent?,” written by Jay Sterling Silver, the author states that there is not a federal…

    In this set of interviews, Angela Davis simultaneously addresses the issue of why we are stuck in this carceral state while also providing her solution, a solution that many would see as too radical. After first reading this interview, I thought immediately of the conversation we had with the two activists from Hands Up United. Society views her as an “enemy of the state”, as a communist and terrorist because of her use of violence as means to affect change, something very similar to what is happening now on the ground in cities like Ferguson and Baltimore. She also elaborated on tensions within the original civil rights movement because of multiple strands of activism running through the black community (ranging from Martin Luther King and Malcolm X to the Black Panther Party). However, Davis slightly complicates what the speakers from Hands Up said because it becomes clear that this is not a new type of activism (it might simply appear new because of how popular media sources have chosen to represent these events). Still this “new agenda” that she speaks of seems like the most appropriate approach after spending a semester looking at where we stand and how…
