Recommended: The controversy of legalizing marijuana

One could argue many points for ,and against the legalization of marijuana. While one could make a good argument for ,and against the legalization of this drug Lynn Streeter attempted to do just that in her essay “Legalize It”. While her argument had a good foundation it was lacking in many ways. She lacked supporting evidence in what she had written, ad did not share many of her sources. She had to many different subject in he argument.
She failed to explain many of her statements. Her essay was week ,and not very well written. When she was arguing that it was not harmful, the article she was arguing she cited it ,but did not include why she felt that way.

While she was arguing the inaccuracy of the study George Bierson’s news article …show more content…

If anybody is still compelled to buy into the "gateway" theory, a real-life example is available for all to see: In Holland, marijuana has been partially decriminalized since the 1970's.” it had to many different things going on in theses sentences, before she had written this, she had written about those statistics I had mentioned in the previous paragraphs. She had also talked about Bierson’s article. Within one paragraph she had three different subjects. Everything was so mixed up that it lacked any organization ,and completely lacked clarity. The way she could have made it a more cohesive paper would be argue why the government should legalize Marijuana, Explain why the study in Bierson’s article was not accurate ,would of included some of the positive aspects of legalizing Marijuana for example

maybe by saying government would gain more revenue from legalizing it. But she just made to many generalizations without supporting what she had written.

In concluding my essay there were just too many mistakes to mention all of them. But focused on the bigger issues of what she was lacking to make her argument stronger. She failed to provide evidence for her argument, and did not give details on her statement ,and made many generalizations. Making her argument week ,and leaving it open for others to refute what she had written. She had strong argument with poor execution of the argument. She did not keep with one topic ,she had too many different thoughts going on each paragraph did not have one specific

Another flaw which causes the ineffectiveness of his article is his weak arguments. Although his arguments may be true, the depth he goes into to explain his thoughts are slim which causes suspicions to raise at the truth behind his arguments. For example, Rosenfeld writes about different health laws in California, the UK, and Australia and although his information is valid the brief description he provides is not a sufficient amount of evidence for readers to know if what he has stated is true or not. Along with his brief description, he has no sources to back up what he is stating. Upon research I conducted myself, I found that Rosenfeld was indeed truthful in his attempt to persuade his readers into believing his argument but again with how brief and weak his argument is, it causes his essay to become ineffective in persuading his

Child Labor Laws Florence Kelley, who is a social reformer, read a speech that addresses “child labor laws and [improving] conditions for working women.” This was specifically made so that these problems would be solved in the near future with a grand audience, which was located in a “convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905”, as its’ witness.

In reading Lamott’s essay I found myself compelled to keep reading. It was the first time I read an article on how to be a better writer that basically says, do your worse work, and then learn from it. Interestingly enough there are components in her article that I can relate too such as in paragraph five where she discusses the initial writing and not being able to start the writing process. I can relate to this because when writing I sometimes stare at the computer screen thinking of the right words to open my essay with, even though I have ideas for other parts of the paper I am left stuck at the start line. Overall her article brought a type of excitement to me as I read it, almost as if it has given me hope for writing, especially with the thought of a five page paper lingering in the back of my mind.

Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a neuroscientist, was a guest on a podcast hosted by Hanna Rosin and Alix Spiegel to discuss her theory on constructed emotions. Barrett spoke about her belief that emotion is a social construct and it is used to construct the world around us (Rosin & Spiegel, 2017). She noted, for instance, that all objects appear as blobs until we are able to assign a concept to them. In addition, she argues that our emotions are built in at birth, and we learn more about our emotions and how to express them through socialization and experience (Rosin & Spiegel, 2017). Furthermore, every person can feel the same emotions.

Her ideas fall short in assessing the individual needs of particular cities and structures and creating solutions because she often uses a one shoe-fits all approach which can be counter productive when striving for equity.
