A Summary
Have many people been engrossed in thoughts that the way the essay is written and delivered influences that fact whether the author will be able to persuade people or not? Moreover, the argument the author presents in the work is one of the most important factors that defines the popularity of his/her approach among people concerned. The article by Amartya sen “A World Not Neatly Divided” is one of the best examples of the good organisation of the argument.
The main statement that Amartya Sen makes in this article is as following: when trying to gain insight into various conflicts that take place nowadays and that occurred in the past, many scientists and politicians support the “civilization approach” (Sen 1). In other words, people are considered only from the religious point of view (Sen 1). For instance, individuals are divided into “the Western” and “Islamic” words (Sen 1). However, Amartya Sen proceeds that as in every country there are representatives of other nationalities, it is impossible to generalise all people only to one category, for instance, Muslims (1). Additionally, another supporting information is that in every nation there are people who are atheists or support the religious beliefs of another religious group that can be not so big as the main one; however, it is also of great importance for realizing the country and people on the whole (Sen 1). In summary, Sen states that as every person has his/her own traits of character, persuasions, beliefs, and personal history, it is not reasonable to explain people''s actions only from the point of view of civilizations (2). Disseminating such approach among people, such persons increase the probability of wars (Sen 2).
Except argumentative essays, there are is also a great deal of other essays that are used in different fields for various purposes, including comparison, critical, contrast, exploratory, narrative, and other essays. Argumentative essays are interesting because in order to persuade

    In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…

    In this literacy narrative, Blogs Are Not Pseudo-Diaries by Stacy Yi, Stacy talks about her experiences writing about her time spent in the Dominican Republic the summer after she graduated high school. The thesis statement of this narrative is “Far more interesting, though, was my hands-on education in the possibilities of travel journalism, and the freedom that comes with disregarding expectations.” Stacy talks about how there were lots of people who wanted to be kept up to date with her experiences while she was in the Dominican so she set up a blog where she could easily do so. At first she wrote mainly about how she was enjoying her time, posted some pictures, and wrote about missing home, the things she thought she should be writing about. Things she thought people wanted to read about. Stacy began to grow bored with what she was writing and the views on her posts were dwindling, she could tell her readers were becoming bored as well. Soon she stopped posting all together, she thought it was pointless. One day, she had a conversation with the oldest daughter of her host family and she knew she wanted to write about her and Stacy decided to post it. She started posting about local soccer games, restaurant reviews, disagreements she had with members of the family, things she really liked to write about. She felt better about the things she was writing, she felt satisfied. Stacy felt that writing day to day posts would provide a lot of information but not capture the feel of her trip to the Dominican. She felt that to make a good record of her trip she needed to write about things were relevant to her trip and in ways that fir the experiences she had.…

    The chemical that spilled into the waters in West Virginia is called methyl cyclohexane methanol or MCHM for short. The chemical is used to clean coal and helps separate the burnable fossil fuel from the unburnable rock and dirt and other contaminations. Because of the spill, 300,000 people can’t drink, cook, shower, or do anything involving water and it touching your body. The people of West Virginia have been living off bottled water for everything they do. The schools were closed along with some work offices. It has been said that MCMH should not be swallowed and may readily cause skin and eye irritation but it is not known to pose major risks to human health and safety. Some of the West Virginia citizens stated it smelled like a type of licorice. MCMH can burn but only when concentrated and at relatively high temperatures above 112 degrees Celsius, but it is not explosive or corrosive. "We may not have the information to know whether it's really safe for the general population," including children, the elderly, the sick or pregnant women, says chemist Richard Sachleben, who works in pharmaceutical research and development. He adds that shutting everything down was the best possible thing to do. This substance is the safest of the others and is also far less dangerous than some other industrial solvents (PCBs for example), byproducts (such as dioxin) and other liquid industrial spills (fly ash slurries). Americans are exposed to more industrial chemicals every day that pose far more risk. Scientist Halden states that the spill is similar to a gasoline spill and that it shouldn’t be a long term concern to citizens.…

    In the article “If Polar Bears Can Eat A Ton Of Fat And Be Healthy, Why Can't We?” published in May 8, 2014 (Richard Harris) argued in the article that the polar bear has genetics, that help them to live on diet that based on a lot of fats, without suffering from the diseases that affect people, which usually comes along these type of diets. A recent study showed that the baby polar bear has fed milk with 27 percent of fat, which is more than the regular percentage. On the other hand the polar bear should get used to this heavy diet otherwise it causes them serious troubles. So many researchers tried to figure out what’s the difference between the polar bear and the other bears like the brown bear. As a result, they found that he brown bear has the same genes that the human being has, but the polar bear has different genes that let them have this trait of handling the heavy diet. The authors wrote “Based on this evidence, we argue that potentially important reorganization of the cardiovascular system has taken place in polar bears since their divergence from brown bears." Although, the polar bear has something in their genes that helps them to not get ill if they follow heavy diet, they have the cardiovascular system genes that help them to be away of the presumably of getting fat, which human being’s genes lack. And till now there are doing a lot of experiments to know more about the split between the brown bear and the polar bear.…
