    PETERLOO

    PETERLOO

    The disenfranchised working class took to the streets on the 16 August 1819 to protest over their lack of suffrage in the hard economic times. Historian Robert Poole has gone as far as to say that Peterloo was one of the defining moments of it’s age1. For what came to be known as The Peterloo Massacre became a clear indication of the lack of ways in which the working class and peasantry could voice their political beliefs: They did not have the vote, the protest was violently suppressed- and following The Peterloo Massacre newspapers and other publications were censored or shut down if they were deemed to contain any seditious messages. It seems by looking at the sources that one of the most notable shifts in political voice is the censorship and suppression the government issues with the massacre and following it. However, Peterloo did embody a shift towards universal suffrage and a broader political voice, with women veering into the political spectrum for the first time, taking part in the protests and rallies.…

    Philadelphia Fire

    Philadelphia Fire

    Five years after the MOVE incident in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, writer and professor at Brown University John Edgar Wideman wrote Philadelphia Fire. The novel is centered on the 1985 bombing of John Africa’s MOVE organization by the Philadelphia police and fire department, an attack that destroyed over fifty homes and killed eleven people. One of the main themes of this novel is the lost generation of American youth. On the surface, Whiteman tells the story of the events of that day but goes further in depth by exploring the perspective of Cudjoe, a black novelist in the novel. Philadelphia Fire was generally well received after the initial publication by the public but also brought up questions about the events of that day. My essay will examine two sections of Philadelphia Fire and expose how they apply to the novel in its entirety.…

    Pseudo-questions: Asking a question based on a false premise. "Why does the Obama administration want to punish poor people?" A political pundit might ask this question about the proposed health care plan in which Americans will be required to buy insurance. 


Equivocation: Relying on two meanings of a word to make your point; changing the meaning partway through the argument. "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are black." This argument takes advantage of different meanings of the word "prejudiced". On the one hand, it can mean actively or knowingly disliking people of a particular race or ethnic group. But on the other hand, it can also mean having under-the-surface, unconscious stereotypes. Most people probably have the second kind of "prejudice", even if it's subconscious. 


Ad hominem: attacking the person instead of the issue; name-calling. "Arnold Schwarzenegger is a muscle-bound lunkhead who doesn't know what's best for this state." This would be a personal attack on an individual that doesn't at all address any kinds of arguments or issues.

Mere assertion: Stating something but not giving any reason for it. "God doesn't exist." The most common atheist "argument" is no argument at all but simply a statement of fact. Of course, in the case of atheism, atheists are arguing from negative evidence, which is much harder than simply making the assertion.


Circular reasoning: Using the premise itself, or something that follows from the premise, in order to prove the premise. "I know God exists because the Bible says so and the Bible is the word of God." This argument is circular; in fact, nothing in the Bible can be said to "prove" the existence of God.


Red herring: Changing the subject. Bringing up irrelevant information instead of addressing the relevant points. "The drinking age should be lowered to 18 because 18 year olds are old enough to die for…

    Professional Psychology Outline

    An Incomplete will not be granted for reasons of poor academic performance or failure to use efficiently the time allotted to a course. Rather, it may be given when a student is unable to complete the requirements because of extenuating circumstances. Incomplete Forms are available from the Registrar’s office and must be completed by the professor, and the student, and include the student’s plan of completion. This form must be completed prior to the end of the term in which the student is currently enrolled. The grade of I must be removed by the end of the term following the receipt of the I. Failure to remove the I prior to the end of the next term automatically results in an Unsatisfactory (U) on the student’s transcript. Upon completion of the course requirements, the I may be replaced by the earned grade on the transcript. Two concurrent Incompletes automatically place a student on academic probation. Military service and other unavoidable circumstances are taken into consideration by members of the…
