The Lorax by Dr.Seuss is a entertaining story that promotes caring for the environment and the Earth. However many people unknowing don’t realise that the story has a deeper meaning about corporate greed. One example is that in the story too many Truffula Trees were being cut down and as a result there's wasn’t enough Truffula Fruit to go 'round for the Bar-ba-loots which means they had to wander around scavenging for food. The cooperation that was chopping the Truffula Trees down said “BUT... business is business! And business must grow regardless of crummies in tummies, you know”.
Gerrymandering is drawing political boundaries so that your political party has a numerical advantage over the other party.1 An illustrative example of how to win a district through gerrymandering from a Washington Post article is on the right. Gerrymandering could concentrate opposing votes into a few districts to gain more seats for a majority in certain districts. Gerrymandering can also be used to help or hinder a certain demographic, like a political, racial, linguistic, religious or class group. For example, two terms used in gerrymandering are “packing” and “cracking”.
Sarah Ryan March 23, 2016 Female Spies in World War II Females were not respected during World War II but they were very successful. The use of spies grew drastically during this war because it was a great tactic for warfare. Many women got involved because women were not allowed in combat, and it was hard for females to find any sort of job in war, so women became spies to be part of the warfare. Female spies were not allowed in combat, so a spy was the perfect fit for women who wanted to be in the warfare, and they ended up being very successful. Military units would not expect a female to be working in the warfare.
Title: Corruption in the NCAA Thesis: I. Introduction A. The NCAA is a non-profit organization that regulates around 13,000 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals that organize the athletic program of many colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. Its main purpose is to provide opportunity to over 45,000 college student athletes who compete annually in college sports. The benefit of being able to play in college sports brings many consequences since the NCAA works under a set of rules that draws student athletes into a kind of indenture servitude.
Introduction We will be discussing what the slippery slop fallacy is. We also will be providing multiple examples of the slippery slop fallacy and errors made in this fallacy. Last, we will give two alternative routes to take in avoiding the slippery slope fallacy. Slippery Slop Fallacy
Therefore, overall avoiding speeding and driving too fast reduces the chances for a fatality to
The current legal drinking age has reduced the number of fatalities (Jones, Pieper, and Robertson 112). Although this is true, alcohol isn’t the only factor that should be considered. The enforcement of seat belt use is also a major point in the study that often isn’t referred to. Tests have show that the number of automobile-accident deaths have decreased since the mid-1900s; consequently, the MLDA was put into force around the same time. Many argue that the increased drinking age is why these accidents have decreased; however, around the same time the usage of safety belts in cars was emphasized more during this time.
Lastly smartphones are increasing the risk of a car accident, 3-4 times greater chance of having an accident when smartphones re in se while driving due to
Fallacy • Fallacies are defects in an argument. • Fallacies cause an argument to be invalid, unsound, or weak. Formal Fallacies • Identified through discrepancies in syllogistic patterns and terms. • Only found in deductive arguments.
Speed limits have nothing to do with death and fatality rates. If people stick to drive on a certain speed limit, concentrate on their driving and drop their phones from their hands, this would benefit the society and benefit us as drivers from experiencing accidents and
If some of those people involved were to wear seatbelts because stricter laws were enforced, these medical expenses could possibly drop, costing the U.S. much less yearly. The injuries caused by people not using their seatbelts could be avoided, resulting in less money being spent on medical treatment for injuries that could have been avoided by buckling a seatbelt. In the long run, stricter seatbelt laws in all the states could save taxpayers and family members of those hurt a lot of money in medical bills. Not only would these laws save lives, they could potentially save people a lot of
People will always have arguments for either one side, saying that texting is more dangerous while driving or drinking. After reading the research that was made, those who are entrusted while driving might have a different insight of the impact they can cause around them if not being responsible.
The families and friends affected by the loss of a loved one because of a driving accident causes great stress and detrimental loss. With the amount of lives that have been saved and could have been saved with a seatbelt it makes it easy to understand why the government has placed laws in regards to the use of seatbelts. Seatbelts have greatly impacted the driving community through the lives that could be saved, the laws and data supporting it, and how impacting and devastating not wearing a seatbelt can actually
Everything you do in a car other than driving, such as talking to a passenger, singing a song, or checking your phone are all distractions which can take your mind off driving and cause an accident (Leonard). Having restrictions on new drivers has shown to decrease the amount of crashes caused by teenagers. “The researchers found that States with the most restrictive graduates licensing programs - such as those that required supervised driving teams as well as having night-driving restrictions and passenger limitations - saw a 26% reduction in the rate of fatal crashes involving 16-year-old drivers compared with states without any restriction” (Roan). Graduated licensing programs were linked to 1,348 fewer fatal crashes involving 16-year-olds. These restrictions prevent the teenagers from driving without an adult 21 or older, and with more than one passenger other than family in the car.
