747 Words3 Pages

Her evident brainwashing, her obvious classism, and her continual display of her ego. What level-headed, rational, or sane person would judge a child so harshly by their name? Earlier, I had the misfortune of reading the manipulative article by Katie Hopkins. This article is the result of her disturbing viewpoint being given the opportunity to express her beliefs to the media. And it is repulsive.

Well, even though the venue and card are “bad enough” she won't let her go because of the birthday girl's name, Charmaine.

When classrooms are meant to comply with a certain level of safety and well being, the freedom of real curiosity and discovery are removed and unreal expectations for life are generated. Your Analysis: I found this article to be thought provoking and well written. The author, Peggy Noonan, brings up a number of points that I believe to be relevant in today’s education system. It’s definitely probable that if universities continually remove and edit classroom material and discussions, the kind of learning that results in actual progress will be inhibited.

With this statement Smith has succeeded at persuading his reader with fear and concern that now he finishes his article with a statement to appeal to our self-esteem.
