Examples Of Argumentative Essay
Argumentative essay presents a point of view about something and explains the reasons in order to
win readers' agreement. It is built around a specific statement (or main premise) that is debatable
within the field in which students are studying. In other words, at the center of an argumentative
essay is a statement with which readers may disagree. The argumentative essay will need to support
that statement in a manner that convinces the readers of its truth. It mainly strives to convince the
reader of the writer's point of view, using reasonable and ethical methods .The process of argument
composition varies from writer to writer, most writers follow these three stages: forming an
argument, which can consist of discovering a motive for writing and identifying an audience to
address, discovering and sharpening a position, and developing an appropriate style; supporting the
argument; and reviewing the argument, which can include considering the image projected by
argument, making substantial additions or deletions to a first draft, and adding an introduction and
conclusion (Cheng and Chen 2009, Day,1997, Liu,2005,Mayberry,2009)....show more content...

Argumentative Essay On Gun Violence
Argumentative Essay One gun, one church, and one miserable Wednesday night. On June 17th,
2015 Dylann Roof set out for a mass killing spree killing nine victims, including a pastor. Certain
rights could uphold gun laws and make it so such things do no happen; unfortunately these tragic
things do still occur. However, people who do follow the law and do follow laws help in some of
these tragic occurrences. Although these things happen it is our God given right as United States
citizens to bear arms. Through the second amendment and other gun laws, we could live in peace
and still have our rights to bear arms. The massacre that killed nine victims happened during an
evening prayer at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church (Connor, 4). People ranged
from 26 to 81, and a pastor of 23 years were all victims of this massacre. Dylann illegally purchased
a .45–caliber Glock handgun for this crime (Connor, 2). The purchase was legal despite his...show

For example, in 2002 a law school shooting in Grundy, Virginia, came to an end when a student
confronted the shooter (Hunter, 1). Many cases have come up including gun violence; however
guns are not the problem, people are! A 2009 workplace shooting in Houston, Texas was stopped by
two workers who had their carried concealed handguns (Hunter, 1). People with carry–and–conceal
weapons have come to save the day in high schools, middle schools, malls, workplaces, and even
in churches. Another example was in 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, when during a church service a
shooting was stopped by a member of the congregation (Hunter, 2). It is so easy to point the
blame towards guns when guns can help us in many more ways than they can hurt us. This could
have been avoided if someone else had a carried conceal weapon or if Roof had been responsible

Argument From Analogy Essay
The argument from analogy is an inductive argument that focuses on the problem of other minds
and aims to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. British philosopher,
Bertrand Russell, describes the argument from analogy as follows: "The behaviour of other people
is in many ways analogous to our own, and we suppose that it must have analogous causes. What
people say is what we should say if we had certain thoughts, and so we infer that they probably have
these thoughts. They give us information which we can sometimes subsequently verify" (Russell,
"Analogy", p89). Norman Malcolm argues that the argument from analogy does poorly in its
attempts to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. In assessing whether
the argument from analogy succeeds in its aims, I will raise and respond to Malcolm's objection
against the argument from analogy; Austrian–born British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Beetle
in a Box' thought experiment; as well as Welsh philosopher H. H. Price's argument and English
philosopher Stuart Hampshire's argument in defence of the argument from analogy....show more

From subjective observation, Russell claims to know that A, which is a thought or feeling,
causes B, which is a bodily act (Russell, "Analogy", p110). Russell argues that believing in the
existence of other minds requires some postulate, and describes this postulate to be "If, whenever
we can observe whether A and B are present or absent, we find that every case of B has an A as a
causal antecedent, then it is probable that most B's have A's as causal antecedents, even in cases
where observation does not enable us to know whether A is present or not" (Russell, "Analogy",

The Other Wes Moore Argument Essay
Since the beginning of time, the environment in which one is accustomed to provides them with
the choices that lead down paths that make their legacy. This environment can be negative or
positive, structured or chaotic, rich or poor, all which give a variety of choices. Regardless of the
different trials and tribulations we face ultimately, it is the choices we make in response that
make us the person we become. Wes Moore, the author of "The Other Wes Moore" had many
accomplishments in his life. He however gained notoriety with this book it was a New York Times
best seller. In Chapter 7, the main idea is that two people living in the same environment had
different outcomes in their lives by making entirely different decisions on how to deal with the
adversities they faced in their lives. These decisions led to the lives that they ultimately lived. The
tone was intense and high energy to begin with but then seemed to turn neutral in both men's stories.
The purpose is to inform the reader how the same environment can take two people and based on
their decisions lead to very different out comes in life. The author takes each man's thoughts and

Argumentative Reflection

One of the areas of my writing where I was struggling in using my voice. Granite, there were parts
of my essay where I successfully integrated quotes within my voice, but for the most part that was
my weakest area. For example of one of my better integrated quotes, in my third paragraph when I
say, "Today, consumers rely on social media for everything, whether it is communicating with old
friends, finding new friends, shopping, researching, and staying informed with the latest news.
Daniel adds that, "'Americans who take part in political activities on social networking sites also
tend to be highly active in other areas of political or civic life'" (29), which insinuates that people
rely on social media more today than we have in the past". This was one of my better examples
because I further explain and analyze the quote in my voice instead of just ending the sentence
after the quote. One of my poor examples is, "Many people who suffer from depression care a lot
about what others think about them. That is why many of those people tend to turn to social
media as an outlet to express their feelings". I made a bold statement and did not back up what I
said with my voice I just ended that sentence and moved on. Instead of moving on I should have
explained it further and told them why people tend to turn to social media to express their feelings.

Argumentative Essay for Using Laptops
Argumentative Essay
In recent years, laptop computers have been playing a ubiquitous role in society. Generally speaking,
there are more and more people carrying them along in restaurant, airport lounges and bookstores. On
the other hand, laptops are also an important component in the educational process. As a matter of
fact, they do offer an array of advantages, while some people think using laptops in the classroom is
a learning impediment and a distraction. Although some people suggest that laptops should be
banned in class, using laptops can be more beneficial in enhancing learn experience, convenience of
note taking and class activities, efficient communication in class, and spelling skills of students with
learning disabilities....show more content...
Using laptop to take notes or edit electronic documents is much more convenient and faster than
handwriting and doing research. With laptops, students can simply make modifications digitally,
adding sections, correcting spelling, or moving elements of an electronic document. Several research
studies reported that a majority of students thought that laptops were effective for note–taking. As a
report mentioned, "Students reported that note–taking was the most prevalent and important laptop
activity they participated in during class. Almost two–thirds of the students agreed that this activity
consumed 50 to 100% of their time. A majority of students (57%) also noted that academic–based
laptop activities were conducted over 50% of the time during a standard class. Furthermore, over
70% of the students agreed that laptops were important with respect to their overall academic
success" (Robin H.). Some students type much faster than they hand–write. This may mean they do
not write all the information they should have.Since many universities provide free access to the
Internet, a laptop computer allows students to research, collaborate and collect information almost
anywhere in the university environment.
Many think that laptop use in class cut down the students' personal communication with teachers and
classmates. Computers allow students to efficiently communicate with

Argumentative Essay Quotes
Cabute, Jeanette Anne H.
BSIE–HE 4A
Quotation:
1."Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new
ending." –Maria Robinson
Explanation: Our lives are full of ups and downs. Often we get so caught up with the downs in our
lives that we fall into depression. We feel that everything in life is falling apart. You regret the
choices you've made in the past and feel that you have failed in life. Understand that you cannot go
back in time and undo choices you've made but that you can stop yourself from repeating the past by
making smarter decisions so that you can have a better future.
Reaction: Yes, our life is full of up and downs. We also cannot change the past, but we can make
better things or choices...show more content...
If we try new things we're going to make a few mistakes but we are learning from that mistake. If
you don't make any mistakes, you're in a rut and not trying anything new. Mistakes are part of our
lives, we cannot change it, and we just have to take the risk. Nothing is impossible if we try new
things and nothing will lose if you try right.
4."The heart has its reasons which reason knows not." –Blaise Pascal
Explanation: The heart, the organ capable of storing love can also reason. Its reasoning makes all
the sense in the world to the heart and to the heart's owner when the owner first hears it. It's the
reasoning that makes you fall in love at first sight. It's the reasoning that somehow makes it so hard
to let somebody go even though you have no logical reason to want that person to stay.
Reaction: The quote means that you have to listen to your heart. Just like in love, you just only
knew that you love that person but you don't know why. We fall in love in a mutual weirdness and
called it love.
5."When love is not madness it is not love." –Pedro CalderГіn de la Barca
Explanation: The actual quote is when love is not madness, it is not love, and it is by Pedro
Calderon. Love in its self is madness. Love brings to life so many different emotions that it is like a

Argumentative Essay On Global Warming
Global warming, we see it as sad polar bears hopelessly swimming for their lives in the ocean. It's
shown as rising sea levels that can washout entire cities. It even sometimes gets turned into politics
but scientifically, what is the definition of global warming? It is the heating up the of Earth, caused
by infrared radiation that gets stuck in our atmosphere because of the increase of CO2 put into the
atmosphere. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation that cannot be seen by the human eye,
but we feel it as heat. Seems pretty logical doesn't it? To some it doesn't seem as reasonable. Some
believe global warming isn't a man made problem, but just a cycle of 'weather patterns'. For
example, our now president –Donald J. Trump– doesn't consider climate change to a threat to the
inhabitants of earth. Our president also said that global warming is a 'hoax'.
"Snowing in Texas and Louisiana, record setting freezing temperatures throughout the country and
beyond.
Global warming is an expensive hoax!"
–Donald J. Trump
This is what many people believe, and this tweet too seems pretty logical to a majority of people.
But in 2014 January 29th when Donald J. Trump posted this tweet, there was record setting freezing
temperatures happening nation and worldwide. But also 2014 was one of the top three hottest years
on record. Now that doesn't seem like a 'hoax'.
Humans don't like being wrong. It's embarrassing, uncomfortable to believe something and then be
confronted about it. So that's why there's still high percentage of people who don't believe in the
change in climate. People who work with oil companies don't want to acknowledge it because it
can ruin their business. Politicians ignore the problem because it costs money to fix our past
mistakes. That fear, people being scared, it makes us shut down. But we can try ignoring the
problem, but the thing about problems is, they can be ignored but they never truly disappear.
Weather may feel the same as every other year, but The whole world is heating up, including our
vast oceans.
Tropical hurricanes need to have surface water temperatures to be 26В°C or more for them to form.
As our oceans get hotter hurricanes are able to form farther out in the sea

Players gained a lot of muscles quickly (also unhealthy, but no one knew) and raced to hit more
home runs than their opponents. This has created a huge discussion throughout MLB on how to
crack down on these players and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Even though he's
the all time leader in home runs, points, and hit percentage, Barry Bonds' name will forever be
marked as the "bad guy" because of he used steroids. In the July of 2013, Ryan Braun, an
outfielder, was under a 65 game suspension for taking steroids. Shortly after, 12 MLB players
were given a 50 game suspension. Alex Rodriguez is under huge a 200 game suspension (which he
is currently on) from taking steroids and then giving them out to his team. (Baseball). Steroids are
used in sports, for the most part, to amplify the performance of athletes. In most cases, the steroids
used among athletes are anabolic types. Anabolic actually means "build or increase mass". These
steroids have been in use by high school, college, and professional athletes all around the globe for
centuries. There are a huge amount of different types of steroids; in–fact, there are many of diferent
types found in nature. The ones found in nature are not as effective as the ones that are man made.

Argumentative Essay On Artifice
Many people say that political leaders must be held to higher standards and speak nothing but the
truth. However, that which Hedges' said, that "the most essential skill... is artifice," is very true.
The best politicians out there, are often not the ones that have the best ideas, but rather the ones
that can trick and then steal the hearts of their audiences. The people of the world will often
support and vote for the candidate with the story that impacts them the most. The stories the
candidates say may often not be true, this is what Hedges' meant when he said that "the most

There is no need for the College Board, yet they make it seems like there is. The College Board
has been tricking thousands of students each year that the only way they can get into college, is
by taking multiple standardized tests they created. In reality, the College Board just wants your
money and the tests are not good indicators for one's intelligence. The test is stupid and if colleges
only looked at your GPA and grades, then many qualified and learned students who are not good
at standardized tests or messed up on one, will be accepted to the college of their choice.
However, the College Board has already tricked most of America and now they have trapped us
because we need them so that we can get into college. The College Board has successfully sucked

Failure is the step towards success. Do you agree?
It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a

not allow this to set them back in trying to achieve the ultimate aim one has set out to do. Failure in

Another disadvantage of being an only is that he lacks companionship. He has no brother or sister
to confide in. Growing up as an only child can be very lonely. If you have siblings you will have
to share everything, so you get less; but you also get less of the bad things. Siblings can support
and comfort each in times of trouble. The elder siblings learn to care for the younger ones and the
younger ones learn to respect their elder siblings and have someone to look up to besides their
parents. You are more balanced person than an only child. Another advantage of having siblings is
that your parents' attention is divided among your siblings. As a result, there is less pressure on you
to perform well, be it academically or in other areas. Having siblings also means that you have
companionship, the joy of caring and sharing, and security. I, personally, am happy that I am not an
only child.

Argumentative Essay On Substance Abuse
There are many issues drug addicts or substance abusers face and of the biggest is treatment. I
intend to obtain a degree in Human Services with a focus on Substance Abuse. There is a great need
in our country today and having had some experience with how the system works, addicts need to
have treatment readily available. Understanding what drives an addict to use will help facilitate
treatment.
One of the potential arguments is that addiction is not a disease or mental illness but a choice. There
is a wealth of information available for each side of the argument and I believe until we fully
understand what drives an addiction we won't have the ability to properly treat the individual. I
believe this argument also fuels the point of view that addicts are just junkies and can stop anytime
they wish. Another point in this argument is whether or not addicts should be punished or treated. If
substance abuse is caused by mental illness, shouldn't more treatment be available? To get a better
handle on the growing epidemic, this is a question every medical professional, police officer,
correctional facility, and community should be asking.
My second topic of choice is just as important right now as understanding addiction. Is Narcan a

Othello : An Argumentative Essay
Othello: An Argumentative Essay
Inside each of us, there is a seed of good and evil since it is a constant struggle for us to determine
as to which one will win, so that is why one cannot exist without the other. However, there are some
whose emotions are unbalanced, which causes them to near towards one side more than the other
one ВВ and many times the side a lot of people prefer to lean on is evil. Shakespeare's play O thello
is set in 16thВcentury Venice and Cyprus.Othello, a noble black general from the Venetian army has
secretly married Desdemona, daughter of Venice senator Brabantio. Othello chooses inexperienced
Cassio to be his lieutenant, while he decides to give the ensign position to Iago, a malicious but very
experienced man who, with his stealth and knavery, will ultimately ruin almost everyone's life
since for a long time, he was desiring the position of lieutenant just like Cassio. At the end of the
play, Othello, Desdemona, Iago's wife Emilia, and his sidekick Roderigo die due to his revenge
against Cassio, for obtaining the position he wanted and Othello, for being the man who he hates
the most. The play ends with Iago being told that he will be punished and tortured for his actions.
However, despite the fact that Iago is punished at the end of the play for doing all of the malicious
things he did, he still manages to wear down Othello's relationship with Desdemona, get Cassio

the main reason behind the shootings is kids feeling like they need to make a point about how
people do not listen to what they have to say and the shooting is the only way to (wake up some
people or the town itself) According to Dewey G. Cornell and Matthew J. Mayer say on my second
journal say "All too often, the response to school violence has centered on simple solutions, such as
declaring that schools are gun–free zones or, alternatively, recommending that teachers arm
themselves in order to ward off attacks. Perhaps the most simplistic solution has been the widespread
adoption of zero–tolerance policies, which have resulted in thousands of students being expelled
from school each year." (1). That's supposedly helping stop the shootings, expelling them and
making them even more angry at the school, maybe at themselves too and wanting to do it even
more so. So instead of watching the world go insane, go help others, go be the reason people
finally wake up to the one word that is losing its self. There is more to life than watching what

Argumentative Essay On Addiction
Addiction Rough Draft Did you know that it is statistically proven that addiction is more common
than diabetes? 10% of the human population is addicted to either a drug or alcohol. A person can
be addicted to several substances, not just drugs and alcohol. By having more options of addiction,
this will increase the percentage of addicts. There is so many scenarios to addiction that anyone
around could be an addict without realizing it. Several people may believe addiction is something
that can easily fixed or they may think it is rare. What people do not know is that addiction is a
situation much more serious and goes in depth further than they may expect. It's a desire that no
one wants. It is a condition that is difficult to escape once you begin. Addicts can be so in depth
with addiction that they can not get out of it. Addiction is an action that comes with negative yet
impactful outcomes. Addiction can affect those who are around especially family members. Fit
will affect other by the actions you do. Aggression can develop and people will begin to isolate.
No one likes to be around an aggressive person. An addict can also have mood swings. Drugs or
alcohol, for example, already affect your mentally when not sober. Family members can feel like
they are the ones to be blamed. Family supports and loves one another. By seeing a family member
fall into bad habits, it would be logical that they would feel like they have failed as family. Not only
would they feel like they

Argumentative Essay On Low Self Esteem
My friends were gaudy, flamboyant and vivacious as ever when I was a young girl, contrary to
me and my painfully shy personality. I was content with this, but my mother always wanted me
to fit in and to gain more confidence. Though I knew I would eventually evolve, it never felt right
for me to try to be someone i was not. I wanted to change or evolve on my own terms rather than
from pressure from my friends or my mother. I knew then, just as I know now, that changing myself
was not going to be fun or easy and that faking interest in things I was not interested in would prove
fruitless. If this took so much effort and even some pain, then there was no point in trying. As I saw
it then, the end goal would land me further away than I had started.
Teenage girls who feel constant pressure from peers and even adults to be perfect have very low
self esteems. Three–fourths of girls with low self–esteem admitted to disordered eating, bullying,
smoking or drinking (Low Self–Esteem). If these girls did not feel this pressure to be "perfect" or
to be ideal, then their self esteems might not be so low and self harm rates would quickly sink.
One way to eliminate pressure would be to allow them to express themselves, or not to express
themselves. Another way to eliminate societal pressure would be to allow them to be their authentic
selves instead of pushing them to be different or to fit in. According to Peter Burke, a renowned
psychologist and professor of sociology and Co–Director

Should Students Be Allowed to Use Laptops in Class

  • 1. Examples Of Argumentative Essay Argumentative essay presents a point of view about something and explains the reasons in order to win readers' agreement. It is built around a specific statement (or main premise) that is debatable within the field in which students are studying. In other words, at the center of an argumentative essay is a statement with which readers may disagree. The argumentative essay will need to support that statement in a manner that convinces the readers of its truth. It mainly strives to convince the reader of the writer's point of view, using reasonable and ethical methods .The process of argument composition varies from writer to writer, most writers follow these three stages: forming an argument, which can consist of discovering a motive for writing and identifying an audience to address, discovering and sharpening a position, and developing an appropriate style; supporting the argument; and reviewing the argument, which can include considering the image projected by argument, making substantial additions or deletions to a first draft, and adding an introduction and conclusion (Cheng and Chen 2009, Day,1997, Liu,2005,Mayberry,2009)....show more content... The first feature is superstructure which refers to the organizational plan of any text and the linear progression of the text. The second feature is the quality of logical reasoning which is assessed by analyzing the interrelationships of writers' assertions and the associated support or data provided to substantiate those claims. The third feature is identified as persuasive appeal, including affective appeal and establishment of writer credibility. Finally, she notes that audience awareness is an important characteristic of successful argumentative writing. The writer must observe an awareness of the reader's perspective by dealing implicitly or explicitly with possible Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Argumentative Essay On Gun Violence Argumentative Essay One gun, one church, and one miserable Wednesday night. On June 17th, 2015 Dylann Roof set out for a mass killing spree killing nine victims, including a pastor. Certain rights could uphold gun laws and make it so such things do no happen; unfortunately these tragic things do still occur. However, people who do follow the law and do follow laws help in some of these tragic occurrences. Although these things happen it is our God given right as United States citizens to bear arms. Through the second amendment and other gun laws, we could live in peace and still have our rights to bear arms. The massacre that killed nine victims happened during an evening prayer at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church (Connor, 4). People ranged from 26 to 81, and a pastor of 23 years were all victims of this massacre. Dylann illegally purchased a .45–caliber Glock handgun for this crime (Connor, 2). The purchase was legal despite his...show more content... For example, in 2002 a law school shooting in Grundy, Virginia, came to an end when a student confronted the shooter (Hunter, 1). Many cases have come up including gun violence; however guns are not the problem, people are! A 2009 workplace shooting in Houston, Texas was stopped by two workers who had their carried concealed handguns (Hunter, 1). People with carry–and–conceal weapons have come to save the day in high schools, middle schools, malls, workplaces, and even in churches. Another example was in 2012 in Aurora, Colorado, when during a church service a shooting was stopped by a member of the congregation (Hunter, 2). It is so easy to point the blame towards guns when guns can help us in many more ways than they can hurt us. This could have been avoided if someone else had a carried conceal weapon or if Roof had been responsible enough to get one or not have on at Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Argument From Analogy Essay The argument from analogy is an inductive argument that focuses on the problem of other minds and aims to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. British philosopher, Bertrand Russell, describes the argument from analogy as follows: "The behaviour of other people is in many ways analogous to our own, and we suppose that it must have analogous causes. What people say is what we should say if we had certain thoughts, and so we infer that they probably have these thoughts. They give us information which we can sometimes subsequently verify" (Russell, "Analogy", p89). Norman Malcolm argues that the argument from analogy does poorly in its attempts to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. In assessing whether the argument from analogy succeeds in its aims, I will raise and respond to Malcolm's objection against the argument from analogy; Austrian–born British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Beetle in a Box' thought experiment; as well as Welsh philosopher H. H. Price's argument and English philosopher Stuart Hampshire's argument in defence of the argument from analogy....show more content... From subjective observation, Russell claims to know that A, which is a thought or feeling, causes B, which is a bodily act (Russell, "Analogy", p110). Russell argues that believing in the existence of other minds requires some postulate, and describes this postulate to be "If, whenever we can observe whether A and B are present or absent, we find that every case of B has an A as a causal antecedent, then it is probable that most B's have A's as causal antecedents, even in cases where observation does not enable us to know whether A is present or not" (Russell, "Analogy", Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. The Other Wes Moore Argument Essay Since the beginning of time, the environment in which one is accustomed to provides them with the choices that lead down paths that make their legacy. This environment can be negative or positive, structured or chaotic, rich or poor, all which give a variety of choices. Regardless of the different trials and tribulations we face ultimately, it is the choices we make in response that make us the person we become. Wes Moore, the author of "The Other Wes Moore" had many accomplishments in his life. He however gained notoriety with this book it was a New York Times best seller. In Chapter 7, the main idea is that two people living in the same environment had different outcomes in their lives by making entirely different decisions on how to deal with the adversities they faced in their lives. These decisions led to the lives that they ultimately lived. The tone was intense and high energy to begin with but then seemed to turn neutral in both men's stories. The purpose is to inform the reader how the same environment can take two people and based on their decisions lead to very different out comes in life. The author takes each man's thoughts and show how...show more content...

Their paths determined by the choices they made at different situations in their lives. Those choices explain who they have become and create the goals that they have set for themselves. The choices also opened up other opportunities that they each will have in their future. No matter what life may hand you always be careful with your decisions you make.

I was a little worried when I signed up to take this course, since it counted as a college credit. Even though I was worried about taking this course, but I am thankful that I did. The main reason behind my decision to take this course is because I thought it would better prepare me for college. This argumentative essay was one of the hardest essay that I have written.

Granite, there were parts of my essay where I successfully integrated quotes within my voice, but for the most part that was my weakest area. For example of one of my better integrated quotes, in my third paragraph when I say, "Today, consumers rely on social media for everything, whether it is communicating with old friends, finding new friends, shopping, researching, and staying informed with the latest news. Daniel adds that, "'Americans who take part in political activities on social networking sites also tend to be highly active in other areas of political or civic life'" (29), which insinuates that people rely on social media more today than we have in the past". This was one of my better examples because I further explain and analyze the quote in my voice instead of just ending the sentence after the quote. One of my poor examples is, "Many people who suffer from depression care a lot about what others think about them. That is why many of those people tend to turn to social media as an outlet to express their feelings". I made a bold statement and did not back up what I said with my voice I just ended that sentence and moved on. Instead of moving on I should have explained it further and told them why people tend to turn to social media to express their feelings.

Generally speaking, there are more and more people carrying them along in restaurant, airport lounges and bookstores. On the other hand, laptops are also an important component in the educational process. As a matter of fact, they do offer an array of advantages, while some people think using laptops in the classroom is a learning impediment and a distraction. Although some people suggest that laptops should be banned in class, using laptops can be more beneficial in enhancing learn experience, convenience of note taking and class activities, efficient communication in class, and spelling skills of students with learning disabilities....show more content... Using laptop to take notes or edit electronic documents is much more convenient and faster than handwriting and doing research. With laptops, students can simply make modifications digitally, adding sections, correcting spelling, or moving elements of an electronic document. Several research studies reported that a majority of students thought that laptops were effective for note–taking. As a report mentioned, "Students reported that note–taking was the most prevalent and important laptop activity they participated in during class. Almost two–thirds of the students agreed that this activity consumed 50 to 100% of their time. A majority of students (57%) also noted that academic–based laptop activities were conducted over 50% of the time during a standard class. Furthermore, over 70% of the students agreed that laptops were important with respect to their overall academic success" (Robin H.). Some students type much faster than they hand–write. This may mean they do not write all the information they should have.Since many universities provide free access to the Internet, a laptop computer allows students to research, collaborate and collect information almost anywhere in the university environment. Many think that laptop use in class cut down the students' personal communication with teachers and classmates.

BSIE–HE 4A Quotation: 1."Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending." –Maria Robinson Explanation: Our lives are full of ups and downs. Often we get so caught up with the downs in our lives that we fall into depression. We feel that everything in life is falling apart. You regret the choices you've made in the past and feel that you have failed in life. Understand that you cannot go back in time and undo choices you've made but that you can stop yourself from repeating the past by making smarter decisions so that you can have a better future. Reaction: Yes, our life is full of up and downs. We also cannot change the past, but we can make better things or choices...show more content... If we try new things we're going to make a few mistakes but we are learning from that mistake. If you don't make any mistakes, you're in a rut and not trying anything new. Mistakes are part of our lives, we cannot change it, and we just have to take the risk. Nothing is impossible if we try new things and nothing will lose if you try right. 4."The heart has its reasons which reason knows not." –Blaise Pascal Explanation: The heart, the organ capable of storing love can also reason. Its reasoning makes all the sense in the world to the heart and to the heart's owner when the owner first hears it. It's the reasoning that makes you fall in love at first sight. It's the reasoning that somehow makes it so hard to let somebody go even though you have no logical reason to want that person to stay. Reaction: The quote means that you have to listen to your heart. Just like in love, you just only knew that you love that person but you don't know why. We fall in love in a mutual weirdness and called it love. 5."When love is not madness it is not love." –Pedro CalderГіn de la Barca Explanation: The actual quote is when love is not madness, it is not love, and it is by Pedro Calderon.

  • 8. Argumentative Essay On Global Warming Global warming, we see it as sad polar bears hopelessly swimming for their lives in the ocean. It's shown as rising sea levels that can washout entire cities. It even sometimes gets turned into politics but scientifically, what is the definition of global warming? It is the heating up the of Earth, caused by infrared radiation that gets stuck in our atmosphere because of the increase of CO2 put into the atmosphere. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation that cannot be seen by the human eye, but we feel it as heat. Seems pretty logical doesn't it? To some it doesn't seem as reasonable. Some believe global warming isn't a man made problem, but just a cycle of 'weather patterns'. For example, our now president –Donald J. Trump– doesn't consider climate change to a threat to the inhabitants of earth. Our president also said that global warming is a 'hoax'. "Snowing in Texas and Louisiana, record setting freezing temperatures throughout the country and beyond. Global warming is an expensive hoax!" –Donald J. Trump This is what many people believe, and this tweet too seems pretty logical to a majority of people. But in 2014 January 29th when Donald J. Trump posted this tweet, there was record setting freezing temperatures happening nation and worldwide. But also 2014 was one of the top three hottest years on record. Now that doesn't seem like a 'hoax'. Humans don't like being wrong. It's embarrassing, uncomfortable to believe something and then be confronted about it. So that's why there's still high percentage of people who don't believe in the change in climate. People who work with oil companies don't want to acknowledge it because it can ruin their business. Politicians ignore the problem because it costs money to fix our past mistakes. That fear, people being scared, it makes us shut down. But we can try ignoring the problem, but the thing about problems is, they can be ignored but they never truly disappear. Weather may feel the same as every other year, but The whole world is heating up, including our vast oceans. Tropical hurricanes need to have surface water temperatures to be 26В°C or more for them to form. As our oceans get hotter hurricanes are able to form farther out in the sea Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Players gained a lot of muscles quickly (also unhealthy, but no one knew) and raced to hit more home runs than their opponents. This has created a huge discussion throughout MLB on how to crack down on these players and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Even though he's the all time leader in home runs, points, and hit percentage, Barry Bonds' name will forever be marked as the "bad guy" because of he used steroids. In the July of 2013, Ryan Braun, an outfielder, was under a 65 game suspension for taking steroids. Shortly after, 12 MLB players were given a 50 game suspension. Alex Rodriguez is under huge a 200 game suspension (which he is currently on) from taking steroids and then giving them out to his team. (Baseball). Steroids are used in sports, for the most part, to amplify the performance of athletes. In most cases, the steroids used among athletes are anabolic types. Anabolic actually means "build or increase mass". These steroids have been in use by high school, college, and professional athletes all around the globe for centuries. There are a huge amount of different types of steroids; in–fact, there are many of diferent types found in nature. The ones found in nature are not as effective as the ones that are man made. The anabolic steroids are probably the most common type of steroid used among athletes. Within this classification, again we have a lot of different types of steroids; countless forms, alternate forms and derivatives, and there are so many it can, at times, seem very Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Argumentative Essay On Artifice Many people say that political leaders must be held to higher standards and speak nothing but the truth. However, that which Hedges' said, that "the most essential skill... is artifice," is very true. The best politicians out there, are often not the ones that have the best ideas, but rather the ones that can trick and then steal the hearts of their audiences. The people of the world will often support and vote for the candidate with the story that impacts them the most. The stories the candidates say may often not be true, this is what Hedges' meant when he said that "the most essential skill.... Is artifice."

In reality, the College Board just wants your money and the tests are not good indicators for one's intelligence. The test is stupid and if colleges only looked at your GPA and grades, then many qualified and learned students who are not good at standardized tests or messed up on one, will be accepted to the college of their choice. However, the College Board has already tricked most of America and now they have trapped us because we need them so that we can get into college. The College Board has successfully sucked me and most likely you as well, into a hole we cannot get out of. They have taken our money and will only take more.

  • 11. Argumentative Essays Failure is the step towards success. Do you agree? It is often assumed that failure is a deterrent to achievement. Rather, failure should be seen as a motivator for a person to keep trying until the objective or aim of a particular mission is fulfilled. Failure often times leads a person to feel helpless, disappointed and depressed. However,one should not allow this to set them back in trying to achieve the ultimate aim one has set out to do. Failure in the beginning can often be a powerful incentive to reassess one's position in wanting to achieve the particular aims; to analyse whether the purpose is worth the trouble the person has to undergo and the whether the obstacles are surmountable.

If you have siblings you will have to share everything, so you get less; but you also get less of the bad things. Siblings can support and comfort each in times of trouble. The elder siblings learn to care for the younger ones and the younger ones learn to respect their elder siblings and have someone to look up to besides their parents. You are more balanced person than an only child. Another advantage of having siblings is that your parents' attention is divided among your siblings. As a result, there is less pressure on you to perform well, be it academically or in other areas. Having siblings also means that you have companionship, the joy of caring and sharing, and security. I, personally, am happy that I am not an only child. Students should not take up part time jobs. Discuss. Nowadays, students love to have part–time jobs. Their parents approve it easily as they are said to gain experience from working. However, having a job is a big responsibility for a student.

So, growing up in a family of white, I never really knew what it was like to truly see color. Color isn't always vibrant and beautiful, sometimes it ugly, and I learned this the hard way. Racism is a word that we hear every day; whether it's on the news, the internet, or even television shows, it's literally all around us.

Doubtless, poachers are not alone on this there are people helping, which if we want to get rid of it, it will take time. Our society thinks it's a bad thing, but people who do it are doing it for a reason. They will say they are doing it for profit and/or for food. People have the right to think that it is causing animals go extinct, but there will always be a counter claim from another person arguing that it's not true.

Argumentative Essay Rough Draft Amateur Top Prospect Maxim Letunov, C, University of Connecticut (Hockey East) One half of a dynamic duo alongside of Kyle Connor (WPG) with the Youngstown Phantoms, Maxim Letunov is a streaky, lanky forward with a ton of offensive ability. Letunov is a shifty forward, who recently finished a 25 goal, 39 assist season in the USHL. While it's not one of the powerhouse NCAA schools, the University of Connecticut offers something that other schools may not have been able to, playing time. All reports suggest that Letunov will be given every opportunity to shine with plenty of playing time.

  • 15. Argumentative Essay On Substance Abuse There are many issues drug addicts or substance abusers face and of the biggest is treatment. I intend to obtain a degree in Human Services with a focus on Substance Abuse. There is a great need in our country today and having had some experience with how the system works, addicts need to have treatment readily available. Understanding what drives an addict to use will help facilitate treatment. One of the potential arguments is that addiction is not a disease or mental illness but a choice. There is a wealth of information available for each side of the argument and I believe until we fully understand what drives an addiction we won't have the ability to properly treat the individual. I believe this argument also fuels the point of view that addicts are just junkies and can stop anytime they wish. Another point in this argument is whether or not addicts should be punished or treated. If substance abuse is caused by mental illness, shouldn't more treatment be available? To get a better handle on the growing epidemic, this is a question every medical professional, police officer, correctional facility, and community should be asking. My second topic of choice is just as important right now as understanding addiction. Is Narcan a lifesaver or an enabler?

Othello : An Argumentative Essay Othello: An Argumentative Essay Inside each of us, there is a seed of good and evil since it is a constant struggle for us to determine as to which one will win, so that is why one cannot exist without the other.

At the end of the play, Othello, Desdemona, Iago's wife Emilia, and his sidekick Roderigo die due to his revenge against Cassio, for obtaining the position he wanted and Othello, for being the man who he hates the most. The play ends with Iago being told that he will be punished and tortured for his actions.

According to: Francisco Valderas, Tom Hadari, Maximo Maticcoli, Nicole Aguero, and Lauren Bessey, they have responded to this question: "What are the biggest responsibilities of taking care of your dog?" Starting with Frankie, he answered: "The biggest, and most important responsibility of having a dog, is picking up their waste and grooming them." The next response come from Tom, who says: "The #1 thing that is really important is that, every dog needs a walk every single day. I walk my dog in a pattern of days, you CAN make a schedule if you want." This response comes from Maximo, who says: "Responsibility and love is the only thing you need to take care of a dog.

  • 18. An Argumentative Essay About School Shootings This world seems to be falling apart, going crazy, or even taking people away out of the blew. One of the main reasons behind that is school shootings. It tends to happen when people think they are taking their kids into a safe environment. School is supposed to be safe, full of kids talking to their friends, teachers, and maybe petting the psychologist's dog just saying "hi" to the dog. For the longest time school shootings have been climbing, occuring more and more. Everyday, bad things happen which show how humanity is cruel.

Everyone has their own way of doing things in there life, their way of saying what is on there mind. But then you have those people who end up getting pushed around every which way the turn their head. One of the main reason behind the shootings is kids feeling like they need to make a point about how people do not listen to what they have to say and the shooting is the only way to (wake up some people or the town itself) According to Dewey G. Cornell and Matthew J. Mayer say on my second journal say "All too often, the response to school violence has centered on simple solutions, such as declaring that schools are gun–free zones or, alternatively, recommending that teachers arm themselves in order to ward off attacks. Perhaps the most simplistic solution has been the widespread adoption of zero–tolerance policies, which have resulted in thousands of students being expelled from school each year." (1). That's supposedly helping stop the shootings, expelling them and making them even more angry at the school, maybe at themselves too and wanting to do it even more so. So instead of watching the world go insane, go help others, go be the reason people finally wake up to the one word that is losing its self.

  • 20. Argumentative Essay On Low Self Esteem My friends were gaudy, flamboyant and vivacious as ever when I was a young girl, contrary to me and my painfully shy personality. I was content with this, but my mother always wanted me to fit in and to gain more confidence. Though I knew I would eventually evolve, it never felt right for me to try to be someone i was not. I wanted to change or evolve on my own terms rather than from pressure from my friends or my mother. I knew then, just as I know now, that changing myself was not going to be fun or easy and that faking interest in things I was not interested in would prove fruitless. If this took so much effort and even some pain, then there was no point in trying. As I saw it then, the end goal would land me further away than I had started. Teenage girls who feel constant pressure from peers and even adults to be perfect have very low self esteems. Three–fourths of girls with low self–esteem admitted to disordered eating, bullying, smoking or drinking (Low Self–Esteem). If these girls did not feel this pressure to be "perfect" or to be ideal, then their self esteems might not be so low and self harm rates would quickly sink. One way to eliminate pressure would be to allow them to express themselves, or not to express themselves. Another way to eliminate societal pressure would be to allow them to be their authentic selves instead of pushing them to be different or to fit in.
