Tennessee Volunteers Southeastern Conference (SEC) Eastern Division (2014 record: 7-6) Head Coach: Butch Jones Offense: The fact the defense played well in 2014 was offset by the fact the offense just never seemed to be able to get things going. They only averages 28.9 PPG to go with 370.5 YPG of offense. The reasons for this lethargic display of offense would have to be turnovers (22), inexperience and a general lack of explosiveness on the part of the skilled players.
Table 23 presents the responses from participants for the question whether they were willing to take public transportation after the problem they mentioned have been sorted out. Out of 824 responders, 442 responders (around 54 %) were willing to ride the public bus if the problem they mentioned are addressed; 140 responders were not convinced to commute in public buses ; and 242 responders were not sure about the using the public buses. Figure 9 presents the proportions of commuters’ willingness to ride public buses based on the age category. The bar chart showed that highest number of peoples willing to ride the public buses were in age group 21 to 30 years and above 50 years.
For example, the argument starts off by explaining a poll that the “National Association of Manufacturers” concluded. They had their members provide a response to their survey that concluded that “38 percent of employers complained that local
Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
Longtown, Ohio is one of the only places where races didn’t matter two centuries ago. Interracial marriages were happening here without argument or trouble. This system of liberty and freedom of the races was founded by a freed slave from Virginia named James Clemens, who later became a rich farmer, but this system is close to being abolished because of the decrease of the original Longtown population. Their places are being taken by whites and they are also purchasing their property. This will eventually move out the people of Longtown and be a city of whites.
So my issue with Peter Singer's argument is it's infallible to tell someone that they should not be spending money on luxuries, when they themselves are buying tickets to see a movie. I believe in "practice what you preach" and "actions speak louder than words". Which really puts me off about what Singer was trying to communicate. Now I understand his thoughts of trying to challenge people to not be selfish and think inwardly. But in that process, he himself fell prey to his own vices.
User Stephen Hill posts a different view: The monarchy is unelected which renders it unaccountable, and this is extremely undemocratic. It should, therefore be abolished. It's [sic] survival is based on a good PR machine, which seeks to personalise it. As an essentially feudal institution it has no place in our society, nor in our epoch. We have enough celebrities already.
John J. Theis provided an interesting argument with several tenets in class. I will first describe my understanding of his argument, then important contemporary reasons why I disagree with his presentation. Theis in his writing and the in-class presentation communicated a severe emphasis on education and civic literacy; this leads me to believe that his first premise would include educational institutions and their importance on the lives of those dwelling in a functioning semi-democratic society. The first premise is a quote from Horace Mann, which was included in the reading document, “Democracy requires educated citizens.” His second premise would be “Current civic education is inadequate to equip people, especially students to be active,
Marion Jones might not be as much of a known name as it was somewhat fifteen years ago. On October 12, 1975, Marion Jones was born in California. Jones knew she wanted to go to the Olympics at a young age. Marion would eventually get her chance to be an Olympian. Although, it might not turn out the way she’d planned.
Dobson’s words can resonate with young and older Christians. The politically correct, liberals, or the Christian left may perceive his words to be ungracious and condemning; whereas, the word of God clearly dictates acts that are sinful and should not be tolerated (Galatians 5: 19-21). Dobson challenges Christians to stand up as Jesus did since truth by nature is intolerant of falsehood. If being intolerant means agreeing with condemning abhorrent behavior as God mandates in the scriptures (e.g., homosexuality, abortion, sexual perversion), then yes, it is okay to be intolerant. Tolerance is not encouraged in the Bible considering God is not tolerant; ergo, tolerance in itself is not loving, since tolerance denies justice (Kruger, 2013).
People rebel when no justice being served. It is understandable why people act a certain way. Have you ever loved someone more than yourself? A person is your biggest pride and joy to be safe? Can you imagine how it feels to no longer have your pride and joy with in a split second, due to the way they look?
In this day and age it is impossible to engage on social media, without being witness to, or involved in an argument. Following the largest mass shooting in our countries history this past weekend, I deliberately engaged in several arguments. Admittedly most of those arguments were driven out of emotion, rather than reason or even facts. Occasionally, the dialog would glean pearls of wisdom and new information steeped in data that made sense, swaying ones conventional wisdom about a topic. In general, assessing whether an argument is a good one based on subtle changes in how you feel about a topic is accurate but in reality the argument lacks true components of an academic argument.
I have chosen to write an opinion article for the ‘Herald Sun’ in a reflective/ persuasive style. I have drawn on inspiration from Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” to examine the prompt “What people remember shapes their understanding of themselves and their world.” The persona I have taken on is from the perspective of a gen Y, Amy Parks, who is passionate about voicing the opinions and concerns of the youth. This article is written in a casual style, in order to engage a wider audience, as it is targeted at both older generations and gen Ys. The intention of the piece is to make older generations realise that their dreams are not longer applicable to present day society and encourage gen Ys to aspire for their own ambitions.
This paper will discuss the problem of evil. In the first part, I will discuss Walter Sinnott-Armstrong’s atheist stance and William Lane Craig’s theist stance on the problem of evil. In the final part of this paper, I will argue that Walter Sinnott-Armstrong’s argument is stronger. The Problem of Evil
In a trial the closing argument is the most critical addresses made in court. Generally an emotional plea, this closing argument can be the deciding factor to a court case. To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1962 film based on the award-winning novel written by Harper Lee. During an era of racial inequality, lawyer, Atticus Finch, contravenes the unwritten social code to defend a black man against an underserved rape charge. In a racially charged atmosphere, “white trash” Mayella Ewell ignores the morality and conventions of the community, and makes a sexual advance on Tom Robinson.
