Argumentative Essay Columnist, Star Parker, expresses her opinion on political topics in many varied linguistic ways. Her judgements are heavily supported, unbiased, and can easily draw attention with captivating titles on her articles: “The Poor are Poor Because the Rich are Rich”, “Let’s Liberate Blacks from Left-Winged Politics”, and “Optimism About Trump”. By changing her diction throughout the articles, she ambiguously defines the subjects that seem challenging to understand. Her writing style consists of formal and informal syntax and she uses slang, cultured, scholarly, yet simple language. I stand with her point of view on “The Poor are Poor..” and “Optimism About Trump”, but I qualify the statements she addresses in “Let’s Liberate …show more content…
Using her eye-catching title method, Parker brings even more dispute when she displays the rest of her content. Personally, I feel that this specific column of hers was a little cluttered. The article starts with her using ethos to shows the different percentages of blacks and whites who believe that Donald Trump does not “respect people of color as much as he respects white people.” She makes the statement that what we see as racially divided is really partisanaly divided. But after the introduction, she then goes on to talk about a tax bill that had passed enables tax-free saving plans for collage. She makes sure to tie everything together like the great writer she is, but this was difficult for me to follow without going back and reading three times over though, Parker does makes good points in her article. Just like she gave the percentages in the beginning, she also gives the percentages of the number of black people that voted for Trump (8%). That is equal to 1.2 million people. She follows this up by including that a black leader whose primary interest is black freedom would be asking why 1.2 million black people voted for him, rather than left-winged politics. She also concludes her article with the thought that it would be best for more African-Americans to take interest in Civil rights and not left-winged
Dan Ariel discusses how people own decision can be influenced by others. For example, he uses the organ donor example to show how some countries in Europe had far better organ donors than other countries in Europe. His argument is based on the fact of how different the two forms were written for getting participants being part of the organ donor program. European countries that have high rate participants of the organ donor program has a written form that mentions to “To check the box below if you don’t want to participate in the organ donor program” So many people don’t check that box various for reasons.
Frank Rich maintains a critical tone throughout the entire article. His use of short sentences such as “Actually, no. People don’t change” and the word “minions” to describe Hilary Clinton in the first section shows his discontent with the candidate. Rich continues his critical tone as he discusses the other candidates. The use of words such as “bigoted”, “cowering”, and “off-the-wall” show that Rich is angry at the majority of the candidates.
Q-1: McAdam and Kloos write a book to try to understand how American politics evolved in the 1950s from a politics of moderation, bipartisan cooperation and relative economic equality to today’s politics of savage partisan divisions and sharp economic inequality. Their first chapter provides an overview of their explanation. Provide in your words a summary of this overview. HINT:
Members of the association were able to come across a speech Parker had made back in 1920, published in the Greensboro Daily News, which would have a great impact on Black opinion of him, and subsequently become the main reason for the battle against his nomination. In the speech in question, Parker was quoted as saying that "the Negro in politics is a source of evil and danger", and that they were "not desired" by the Republican party in North Carolina. In light of such comments, the NAACP felt it could not possibly allow the nomination to pass through the senate unchallenged, as they considered it would be a severe disadvantage to have someone who they considered a Southern racist sitting as a justice. The positive steps, in terms of legal battles it had made in the years leading up to the Parker nomination were now under threat in having a Justice who had publicly stated his opinion that there was no place for African Americans in politics. Should the nomination be allowed to pass through the senate, the association felt it would not be able to trust his vote when it came to matters involving Civil Rights, which would be a step backward in its pursuit of the ultimate goal.

Throughout America, a multitude of newspapers and authors write about and discuss the various topics that interest people today. Ranging from sports to political editorials and news coverage, each writer carries their own personal style for how they convey their message to their audience. Leonard Pitts, a writer for the Miami Herald, was born in California and currently writes editorials on recent topics. An African-American left-winger, Pitts forms his writing with colloquial language in his editorials such as: “Challenged by The Hope of my Elders,” “Torture Might Work, but That’s not The Issue,” and “Don’t Lower The Bar on Education Standards.” In “Challenged by The Hope of My Elders,” Pitts writes about the black lives matter campaign and
For instance, when Parker says, “In a Pew Research survey done last December, 53% of Republicans said the government doesn’t do enough to help the middle class,” or “In a Reuters poll done last year, nearly 80% of Republicans opposed getting rid of the Social Security and Medicare. 64% opposed getting rid of Medicaid,” she proves just how negligible the Democratic Party’s opinion is to her. She invalidates her support because she only supports her political party’s point-of-view which makes her unreliable. Thus making her argument invalid and ineffectual. Not to mention the fact that she brings up “poor black communities,” which is completely irrelevant and off
Pap’s virulently negative reaction to the African American professor is ironic because Pap is an abusive, alcoholic, ignorant thief who would definitely fall under the category of the scum or scourge of society and yet he finds the idea of this intelligent, responsible, African American professor voting repugnant, calling him a “prowling, thieving, infernal, white-shirted free nigger,” (27). Pap himself was “too drunk to get there [the polls]”(27) but now Pap “[he]’ll never vote ag’in”(27) which will most likely better the voting population. Pap’s feeling of superiority and juxtaposition of Pap and the African American professor shows the unfounded claims of racism throughout America, questioning the ethos of its perpetuators and their own
The purpose of Solar Tribune would be to educate and advocate to the people that solar adoption would be a good choice. On their website they educate the people by showing current and popular old articles regarding news of solar energy, analysis of the industry and how it effects the state, as well as having a guide to having residential solar energy and the companies that would help them. While I agree with the purpose of Solar Tribune and would likely adopt solar panels for my home, I wouldn’t join an interest group in general because I do find their jobs to be exasperating. “Advocacy begins with a commitment to… or principles as interpreted by specific ideological systems, such as… environmentalism,” (page 10). Solar Tribune’s advocacy

Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
