Neat trick huh?” Riley quickly establishes annoyance with the jury’s ruling by using elements of sarcasm to support his claim.
Carl Williams: the non-ideal victim: HEATHER JONES 214139974 Carl Williams; convicted drug trafficker and murderer, was serving a life sentence in Barwon Prison’s Acacia unit when he was beaten over the head with the stem from an exercise bike and killed by Matthew Johnson in 2010. The first link that is listed when his name is searched in Google is the Wikipedia page titled “Carl Williams (criminal).” The initial impression is that he is not regarded as a victim of murder, but largely still as the killer he was.

George Washington Williams, an African American legislator, and Kande Kamara, an African colonial subject, both experienced some of the most brutal products of European Imperialism. Williams, in the late nineteenth century, toured the Belgian controlled Congo and witnessed the harsh measures King Leopold implemented to maintain absolute control and bleed the country of its resources. Kamara, on the other hand, bore witness to the end result of overzealous imperial ambitions when he was forced to fight for the allies in the trenches of WWI. These two men’s experiences, although considerably different, both shed light on Europe’s colonial philosophy of racism and ethnic superiority and its position of immense power during this period.

In the first excerpt, Rowan Williams’s argument suits its purpose by enabling the audience to fight for what they, and he, believe. Williams makes the note that “The Bible has no arguments for the existence of God.” as a way of making his argument that there is no uncertainty, or that what he believes has no need to prove itself to skeptics, but that it’s omittance of an argument suggests that there is no argument because the principal is already certain. In better words, his excerpt has the purpose of reasoning that there is no argument to be made. Another example of Williams’s text being suited to its purpose is when he states “At one level, you have to see that the very angst and struggle they bring to the relation with God itself a

Irene Gut Opdyke, as a teenager, was raped by a Soviet soldier officer at the time of the Holocaust. An article states, “She was separated from her family, escaped twice from incarceration, and captured and raped by Soviet soldiers.” I don’t think anyone not even me can imagine how hard it must have been for her to go through this and at a young age. Back then if you were raped then that was it no one could be able to do anything and if you told off a Soviet officer you would probably die. Unlike today where you can send the person to jail.
Bernard Williams’ essay, A Critique of Utilitarianism, launches a rather scathing criticism of J. J. C. Smart’s, An Outline of a System of Utilitarian ethics. Even though Williams claims his essay is not a direct response to Smart’s paper, the manner in which he constantly refers to Smart’s work indicates that Smart’s version of Utilitarianism, referred to as act-Utilitarianism, is the main focus of Williams’ critique. Smart illustrates the distinction between act-Utilitarianism and rule-Utilitarianism early on in his work. He says that act-Utilitarianism is the idea that the rightness of an action depends on the total goodness of an action’s consequences.

He defines next stage magic as that where the performer use illusions so you think he had done a supernatural magic while actually what he did was a clever trick based on some known ideas or rules. He contrasts it with supernatural by saying about it that it at least does happen but not like the audience think. He mentions how this is sometimes used by what he calls “charlatans” to actually deceive audience (pathetical appeal) (Williams, 2012). He heads now to the third type: poetic magic.
