Hillary Clinton What Happened
The following quote is from Hillary Clinton’s book What Happened?. "There's nothing I was looking forward to more than showing Putin that his efforts to influence our election and install a friendly puppet had failed. I know he must be enjoying everything that's happened instead. But he hasn't had the last laugh yet." This statement is an abusive argument against the person as it refers to the president as a “friendly puppet.” This means that she is mentioning how she had hoped to stop Putin’s supposed influence on the 2016 presidential election and how he must be enjoying what was accomplished due to this supposed affiliation. An argument against the person, or ad hominem, is a response to someone else and is not a fully reasoned argument

    Washington Week Summary

    In this episode of Washington Week we watch as Susan Davis, Alexis Simendinger, Michael Duffy, and John Harwood discuss the issue of how Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz use Donald Trump as a punching bag in the last Republican debate and if it altered Trump's campaign indefinitely. In the beginning of this episode we see how Trump, Rubio, and Cruz battle each other to prove who would be a better president, however Cruz and Rubio were prepared to team up and bombard Trump with child like arguments. For example, Rubio calls Trump a con man and gets a laugh out of the audience when he says, “Well now he’s repeating himself” and that Trump, “wanted to make sure his pants weren’t wet”. Likewise, Cruz reveals to the audience that Trump says he will go to…

    The Arguments In Shelley's Essay 'They Say I Say'

    Within the chapters five and six of, They Say/I Say, by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, they believe that while writing an essay, one may use many tools to help them strengthen their arguments. For example. Instead of rambling on about why a writer’s argument is credible, a writer may address criticism that others might say, and can use counter arguments to lengthen and strengthen their argument. When a writer does not implement counter arguments within their text, they may seem close minded. However, when using a counter, or what Birkenstein and Graff call a “Naysayer,” a writer must accurately represent that individuals view. When a person is addressing a nay-sayer, they can either keep them anonymous, or give them proper labels. Although,…

    Language Analysis - Devices You Don't See Too Often, Which Can Get You Marks

    Argumentum ad logicam: arguing that because an argument contains a logical fallacy the argument in its entirety must therefore be discarded. Example: The opposing argument contains an appeal to emotion (pathos), the author criticises the opponent’s use of pathos as though it constitutes the bulk of the argument, positioning the reader to feel indignant about being manipulated by the opposition, and to feel that they can disregard the opponent’s argument in its entirety since it is evidently based on fallacious logic. Ad hominen attack: an attack made against an opponent. For example, by insinuating that the opponent is untrustworthy this positions the reader to think that the opponent’s argument must also be untrustworthy. Argumentum ad populum: Making an argument based on the notion that it ‘must be true’, because the majority of people believe so (‘so many people can’t be wrong’). Coming Full Circle: When something returns to where it began. Used to establish the cyclical nature of something. Example: (2011 Exam) Helen Day’s history lesson suggests that symbolism of the tattoo has come full circle: It started off as a means of branding “unconsenting [the] backs of prisoners and slaves”, it then became a satirical symbol of rebellion against oppression (“Convicts were known to mock the King by having the words, ‘Property of Mother England’ etched into the flesh on their backs.”), and it later became a symbol of feminist rebellion against chauvinism, but the tattoo has “been commodified and now performs, more or less, as it originally did; it is fashion’s proprietary mark.” In this way Helen Day suggests that we have failed to learn from the past, and therefore have allowed history to repeat itself, by allowing ourselves to become slaves to fashion. Dog whistle: using coded language that appears to mean one thing to the general population but which can be understood by a specific subgroup. In American politics this is often used to complain about minorities without…

    Theme Of Corruption In Hillary Jordan's When She Woke

    Religion is detrimental to the commonwealth. Throughout history, religion has influenced numerous governmental decisions, displacing individuals from the rest of society. According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), seventy-five countries have criminal laws against sexual activity by lesbian, gay, transgender, or bisexual people. These countries enforce the death penalty or implement deportation. In other countries, gay and lesbians endure harassment and discrimination. In other words, homosexuals lack respect and treatment in all territories. In 2014, over 40% of the countries worldwide criminalized abortion. Other countries, such as the United States, allow abortion under certain circumstances.…

    Hillary Clinton's Loss Of Respect

    This nation today is focused on being liked by others and the status quo of others. In order for someone to like another, they have to have respect for them. In order for someone to have an opinion about someone, it takes a strong person to have respect for the other’s opinion. The nation we live in today has lost respect for one another’s rights. If everyone had respect for others there would not be as many wars or terrorist attacks. Notice I said, “not be as many”. We, as humans and as people of earth, will never reach a state of peace. I believe this because there are too many opinionated people with big personalities that will always want a voice and will do whatever they can to get it. These people have respect for themselves and their beliefs. For example, Donald Trump, he has been wanting a voice in politics for a very long time, so he decided to run for president. He does not have any respect for the Republican establishment because he does not care if he offends them. He has lost the majority of respect of the black community, Muslim community, and LGBTQ community of America. Hillary Clinton has lied on numerous occasions her stand in the Benghazi and US war. She has lost the respect of those deceased soldiers’ families.…

    How Hillary Clinton Changed My Life

    When I was a child, I was very shy. I didn't like talking to other people, or even being around others for long periods of time because it made me very nervous. My parents signed me up for theater to force me out of my comfort zone, and I fell in love. I became the person who I am today, a confident, energetic social butterfly, because I was exposed to something new that made me grow as a human being. Even though people can grow to become experts in a specific field, if they don't step outside of their comfort zone, they will never grow as a person because growing as a person involves trying new things and taking risks. Trying new things is key to personal growth. An example of this is Hillary Clinton. When Clinton was a child, she…

    Definition Essay: The Meaning Of Argument

    In the world today, the word “argument” is used on a daily basis and usually carries a bad meaning. In fact, the word is used so much that people often mistaken it’s true meaning. According to the book Writing Arguments by John Ramage, John Bean and June Johnson, there is no universally accepted definition of “argument.” The meaning of the term is rather complex, and it has been remained a controversial issue of philosophers and rhetoricians over the centuries (2). Because of the complexity of the word, we need to examine three important points in order to understand what “argument” truly meant: the misconceptions about the meaning of argument, the features of argument, and the relationship of argument to the problem of truth.…
