Article Rebuttal
After reading Michael Rowe’s article about Dan Cathy, I’m still trying to figure out what actually Rowe is talking about. It sounds to me that he’s extremely angry over Dan Cathy “free speech” or lack that of. I had to read the article a few times to grasp the argument that Michael Rowe was getting at. Rowe sounds like the voice of the lesbian, gay and transsexual community. I like how Rowe called Cathy an “emperor that is not only without clothes but frying chicken in the nude.”
I do have to agree with some of the things that Rowe had regarding Cathy Christianity beliefs. He really did target Cathy’s validity about his beliefs and what his company stands for. The last time I check this was a free country and a man/woman that the right to speak their mind. Some things people say might not agree with what the person says but that’s the joy of free speech. I think on the other hand Cathy should have been careful about what he said as pertaining to the gay community. I know he’s for traditional marriage but he just can’t go out and tweet your views on same-sex marriage and get away with it too.

I believe that’s all fine and dandy but once you put your credibility on the line and make derogatory remarks concerning gays that cred is very hard to get back. Rowe obviously has hatred for this man’s comments and even more disgusted that people are still eating at Chik-Fila after all this. One statement I was interested by Rowe was when he said that Cathy making millions and he’s doing it cynically at the expense of other human beings then sharing that blood money with others like

    For my presentation, I reported on the Falwell vs. Flynt lawsuit, which was based upon the extent to which Americans have freedom of expression. An important aspect of this case was the dissimilarity of the two men involved: Jerry Falwell and Larry Flynt. Jerry Falwell was an important religious leader of the time. He was a radio evangelist, leader of a religious group called the moral majority, and voted 2nd most influential person in America (the first being the president). Falwell represented a pure America, a decent society in which its members were committed to moral standards. Larry Flynt was his complete opposite. Flynt was editor of the infamous Hustler…

    Phil Danielle was in, asking if “she was a special needs kid?” Whether true or not, this is not only insulting to Danielle but also to actual special needs children and their families. Kerry’s comment was a good example of cyberbullying. Danielle has been put through cyberbullying by people around the country possibly even around the world. Between videos making fun of her and memes of her all over the internet, people seem to have made it their priority to bully her.…

    The primary thesis of this article is that the common ownership formula would create higher equality amongst individuals. The author, Timothy Hinton, advocates that there should not be individuals in a community who are not provided for. He believes that every person is an equal co-owner of the Earth, and should reap its benefits equally. Therefore, if someone in a community cannot provide for themselves, then it is the rest of the community’s responsibility to care for that person. This is important within the field of philosophy in regards to moral and ethical obligations of members in a society. It is also important because this ideology could alter societal structure as we know it.…

    Martin Luther King JR was an activist who took part as a leader in the Civil Rights movement. This whole movement of his is emphasized on the idea that nonviolent actions be taken. Although he was a leader for the Civil Rights movement, he was a Baptist minister too which played a critical role in his movement. The whole idea of taking nonviolent actions was due to his Christian beliefs, and it’s demonstrated all throughout the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”. In his letter, Martin writes to a clergyman where he finds out that his nonviolent protest movements have been accused of being “extreme.” Whenever he responds back to the clergyman’s accusation, he employs rhetorical strategies. However, not only are these rhetorical strategies being employed when he’s responding to the accusation, but they can be seen throughout the letter.…

    In January of 2012, Brad J. Bushman (Ph.D.) posted an article titled “Do Violent Video Games Increase Aggression?” In his article, Bushman concluded that violent video games have a significant effect on aggression, especially in younger audiences. To support his thesis, Bushman used a supporting statement from the Surgeon General in 1972 on the effects of violent television, as well as supporting points like the fact that video games are an interactive media. The last type of evidence that Bushman used was studies showing a correlation between violent video games and violent behavior in youths.…

    He uses pathos to create sympathy by telling a story of kids growing up in poverty while lacking the services that should be provided. From that it makes the black community upset with the government and causes to have to further himself to Rev. Jeremiah Wright but also lets the people know the good and bad about him. For instance in the speech he says that “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can more disown him than I can my white grandmother, a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed a lot for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe”. Emphasizing that he was in no way justifying or excusing Wright’s comment would be making the same mistake he made in his offending sermons about America. As he brings up the good in the pastor by saying that he strengthened my faith and others he described in the speech, in which hoping that they let this incident fade away just how they dismissed Geraldine Ferraro from her recent statements from some deep seated racial…

    Chick-Fil-A is well known for their stance on same-sex marriage. Dan Cathy, the president of Chick-Fil-A, has said that he “prays for God’s mercy” for a society that allows marriage equality (Stein). People may justify that just because Cathy says this doesn’t mean that is what Chick-Fil-A stands for, but Cathy has said that this view on marriage equality is what the company values (Morrison). People in the LGBTQ+ community have been discriminated against so heavily, and they fought for basic human rights for so long. Having huge companies like Chick-Fil-A come out and say that they are anti-marriage equality and justifying it by using the bible is toxic to the LGBTQ+ community and all they have fought for.…

    We are among so many different people, beings, characters and humans in our daily life. All of the instances of this list must be included, because they have simply different definitions. Constantly people pass people, who interact with someone else, who happens to know someone different from them, and the chain never breaks. Not always is the interaction, knowledge of an individual or passage a positive one, but in a sense they are all the same. All the people are the same. With fault, with hate, with compassion and with oppression; they are all the exact same within. There are two essays that easily capture the concepts of flaws in character. “Censoring Myself” by Betty Shamieh and "Mother Tongue" by Amy Tan. A popular character flaw, is race and how others hinder you because of it or how it can affect you based on just how you behave because of it.…

    If Paul Baumer were to respond to my first essay he would strongly disagree with it. Also, he would disagree with the Roman’s saying, Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, for many reasons. First, Paul would disagree with my first essay because soldiers detach themselves from their feelings for the sake of surviving another day in the brutal war. “Just as we turn into animals when we go up to the line, because that is the only thing that brings us through safely…We can do nothing else, it is a sheer necessity. We want to live at any price; so we cannot burden ourselves with feelings,” (Remarque 139). Secondly, Paul would disagree with my first essay because the men have realized the soldiers across enemy lines are people just like them, Paul…

    Phelps v. Snyder

    “God hates you.” “You’re going to hell.” Could you imagine having to bury your child that returned to American soil, dead, after fighting a war, listening and seeing these kinds of statements? When burying a loved one, a person should not have to deal with people picketing at a private funeral. That person is in enough pain and emotional loss for having to bury a family member. This is not more of an inappropriate or inconsiderable time than ever to be causing a negative scene and displaying a strong sense of hatred on someone who just recently lost their life fighting for this country. Albert Snyder, father of the late Matthew Snyder, has every right in his power to be suing Fred Phelps, pastor and founder of Westboro Baptist Church and the congregation, in seeking redemption for Matthew on numerous grounds. I, personally, have the right to be buried and laid in peace as does everyone else. A family should have the right to bury their loved one with no interference from others. Burying a person is part of life and to invade one’s personal right is unlawful. Westboro Baptist Church did not have the right to be present at Matthew Snyder’s funeral and in doing so I believe the decision made by the United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit should be reversed by the United States Supreme Court.…
