In a 500-750-word “Letter to the Editor,” propose an initiative for an educational issue that you feel needs to be addressed. Include a plan about how this issue could become an initiative under Arizona law. Your letter should be written to persuade others to agree with your position.

Aristotle: On the Soul (De Anima) trans. J.A. Smith BOOK ONE I.1. Fundamental Questions HOLDING as we do that, while knowledge of any kind is a thing to be honoured and prized, one kind of it may, either by reason of its greater exactness or of a higher dignity and greater wonderfulness in its objects, be more honourable and precious than another, on both accounts we should naturally be led to place in the front rank the study of the soul. The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life. Our aim is to grasp and understand, first its essential nature, and secondly its properties; of these some are taught to be affections proper to the soul itself, while others are considered to attach to the animal owing to the presence within it of soul. To attain any assured knowledge about the soul is one of the most difficult things in the world. As the form of question which here presents itself, viz. the question 'What is it?', recurs in other fields, it might be supposed that there was some single method of inquiry applicable to all objects whose essential nature (as we are endeavouring to ascertain there is for derived properties the single method of demonstration); in that case what we should have to seek for would be this unique method. But if there is no such single and general method for solving the question of essence, our task becomes still more difficult; in the case of each different subject we shall have to determine the appropriate process of investigation. If to this there be a clear answer, e.g. that the process is demonstration or division, or some known method, difficulties and hesitations still beset us-with what facts shall we begin the inquiry? For the facts which form the starting-points in different subjects must be different, as e.g. in the case of numbers and surfaces. First, no doubt, it is necessary to determine in which of the summa genera soul lies, what it is; is it 'a this-somewhat, 'a substance, or is it a quale or a quantum, or some other of the remaining kinds of predicates which we have distinguished? Further, does soul belong to the class of potential existents, or is it not rather an actuality? Our answer to this question is of the greatest importance. We must consider also whether soul is divisible or is without parts, and whether it is everywhere homogeneous or not; and if not homogeneous, whether its various forms are different specifically or generically: up to the present time those who have discussed and investigated soul seem to have confined themselves to the human soul. We must be careful not to ignore the question whether soul can be defined in a single unambiguous formula, as is the case with animal, or whether we must not give a separate formula for each of it, as we do for horse, dog, man, god (in the latter case the 'universal' animal-and so too.

Arguments A. Arguments are found in many texts and media and it is important to be able to recognize, formulate, and evaluate arguments. Doing well in this class will depend upon whether you can acquire and improve these three skills. We will be concentrating on the arguments found in the philosophy texts we are reading this semester, but this skill is something you should carry with you through the rest of your college career and beyond. Recognizing an argument is the first step in the process. An argument is where a claim is stated and it is supported by evidence. The claim is the conclusion of the argument and the evidence is known as the premises. In an argument, the conclusion follows from the premises, or, more specifically, the premises connect together in such a way that one can draw an inference from them, i.e., the conclusion. But recognition of argument is not sufficient. One must also be able to formulate the argument. This involves listing the premises as well as unstated assumptions so one can see more clearly how the conclusion follows from the premises. This task will at first seem tedious and frustrating, but like anything else, the more you practice, the better you will get. Hopefully, you find this exercise beneficial and enlightening. Here are some sample arguments: 1) All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Socrates is mortal. 2) If there is snow on the ground, it must be cold. There is snow on the ground. It must be cold. 3) Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates. Walruses, an animal, are not invertebrates. Walruses are vertebrates. 4) It rained almost every day in April for the last three years. April is a rainy month. B. Not all texts will contain arguments. Some passages will just contain a description, explanation, or dialogue. Here are some examples. 1) Tuesday is the second day of the week. 2) If you do not exercise, you will not be healthy. 3) There are many students who attend state universities. Some explanation for this is that state universities are affordable and offer a variety of disciplines to study. 4) Parent: “You have not cleaned up your room this week.” Child: “Yes I have.” Parent: “No, I am afraid your room is still messy.” Child: “But I have.” Parent: “No you haven’t, at least not according to me.” Child: “Well, according to me, I have.” This last example may seem like an argument because we call it an argument. But this is using the word equivocally, that is using the same word to signify two different things. Example 4 is a disagreement, which does not always constitute an argument. There are no premises to support any claims being made in this example. Further, one should recognize that Example 2 is only a conditional claim and not an argument. A conditional claim is composed of an antecedent and a consequence. One must also affirm the antec.

Arguments of Defintion Chapter 9 Arguments of DefinitionThese arguments are particularly powerful in that they help determine what something or someone is. Thus, they can result in inclusion or exclusion.They help us recognize that classifications change over time and are the result of cultural, social, and political forces.Definitions often serve group agendas while ignoring or attempting to silence others.Often evolve from daily life. Arguments of DefinitionWe rely on definition for successful, efficient communication.As you have experienced with the Fact Paper, our ability to make an argument is limited when we cannot appeal to values.Contrary to the belief that values diminish the validity of an argument by rendering it mere opinion, values are a necessary part of the argument.Indeed, they are the very heart of an argument.Thus, evaluative terms are notoriously difficult to define. Formal Definitions (pp.200-201)Questions related to genus:Is assisting in suicide a crime?Is NASCAR a sport?Is rap poetry?What is an X [insert your own choice here] Questions related to species:Is marijuana a relatively harmless drug or a dangerous, addictive one?Is Saudi Arabia an ally or an opponent of the USA?Is TV’s “Survivor” a reality show or a game show?Is X a Y or a Z [Insert your own topic} Questions related to conditions:Should a woman be held to the same physical requirements as a man in order to join the military?Should everyone pay the same percentage of their income taxes regardless of their income?Are high scores on the SAT’s a fair condition for entrance into universities?Must X occur in order for Y? [Insert your topic] Questions related to the fulfillment of conditions:Should academic scholarships count as taxable income?Should nontraditional educated experiences, such as semesters abroad and internships, count for college credit?Should X be counted as Y for the purposes of Z? [Insert your topic] In summary, keep in mind that you can approach an argument of definition by: Formulating a definition (What is X?): “Terrorism is any non-wartime act of violence undertaken for political gain.”Negative definition (Y is not X.): “Violence undertaken as part of a revolt against an oppressive regime is not terrorism.”Definition by Example (Y is/is not X): “The Irish Republican Army is/is not a terrorist organization.” Other items to consider:Who is your specific audience?What are the counter-arguments to your proposed definition?In other words, anticipate oppositional stances.How would you refute those stances?Do not forget about visuals and design of arguments of definition.Matching claims to definitions is critical. 8PROCEEDINGS OF THE IRE Steps Toward Artificial Intelligence* MARVIN MINSKYt, MEMBER, IRE The work toward attaining "artificial intelligence" is the center of considerable computer research, design, and application.

Argumentative Position Paper (Essay 4) This project is the culminating writing and research project of the semester, building on the skills you have developed throughout the semester. In a sense, many restrictions are gone: you must define the current issue you write about, you must define the audience you are writing to, and you must determine-to a larger extent- how to best organize and present information. You should draw on the rhetorical concepts we discussed early in the semester (logos, pathos, ethos, kairos, doxa) to consider how to most effectively craft this essay. A proposal presents a problem and a solution or solutions to that problem. For this essay, the problem must be related to a current issue of your choice; you may choose a topic from one of the class case studies or a different topic of your own. It must, however, have been relevant in the last six months. Drawing on the sources you presented in your annotated bibliography- and substituting other sources as necessary- you will persuade your audience that a problem exists and that your solutions(s) is best, at least for the time being. The following process may be useful as you create your proposal: · Choose an issue to research. Make sure it is timely (relevant within the last six months) and something you care about, since you will spend a lot of time working with this topic. This can be from the class case studies or be entirely different. Try to make the issue as specific as possible. For instance, instead of “refugee camps,” narrow this down to something like: “impact of U.S. medical aid in refugee camps.” This is much more specific and manageable. · Brainstorm a list of questions you have about the topic, problems you see others defining or that you identify yourself, and possible solutions to this problem. · Explore the topic via research in your annotated bibliography. · Define your audience- who would be interested in this issue and why? How much new information will you be offering them? Are they likely to already agree or disagree with your perspective on the topic? · Return to your list and define a specific problem(s) you want to persuade readers exists and a specific solution(s) you have developed to address this problem(s). · Create an outline of your essay to map out how you will organize the information. Paper layout- In the introduction: · State the issue(s) or problem(s) and grab the reader’s attention · Argue for the seriousness of the problem(s) · State the thesis in the form of “Somebody needs to do/not do something because . . .” (This is a formula; you must add information to this framework to create your thesis statement.) In the body: · Give the problem’s background if your audience is unfamiliar with it · Define what the problem is, presenting evidence to prove that it is a problem and countering evidence from those whose viewpoints differ from yours · Describe how this problem, if left unhandled, could affect the future. · Present your solut.

Argumentative behavior, engagement in physical altercations, and evidence of mood swings can all indicate that an adolescent is experiencing anger and depression. Self-harming can surface in adolescents, too, as they experience difficult emotions. For this, read the case study of Dalia and consider what you, as her social worker, would do if you observed self-harm indicators. Post a brief explanation of self-harming behaviors that Dalia is exhibiting. Describe theoretical approaches and practical skills you would employ in working with Dalia. How might familial relationships result in Dalia’s self-harming behavior? Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Dalia Dalia is a 14-year-old, biracial female of African and Irish American descent who resides with her parents in a middle-class suburb. She is the youngest of three children and is currently the only child remaining in the home. Dalia’s parents have been married for 25 years. Dalia’s father works in the creative arts field with a nontraditional work schedule that has him gone overnight and sleeping late into the morning. Dalia’s mother is an executive who works long hours. Dalia was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia in early childhood and was hospitalized multiple times. At present, Dalia’s health is stable with the last serious episode occurring 2 years ago. Dalia’s parents reported that until middle school, Dalia was an easygoing, good-natured youngster who enjoyed singing and participating in activities with her peers and family. Dalia denied any problems with drugs or alcohol but admitted to drinking with friends. Dalia described her family relationships as tense, stating, “My dad lets me do what I want” and “My mother is always trying to control me.” Dalia described her relationship with her older brother, who lives in another state, as “cool,” and her relationship with her older sister, a college sophomore, as “not cool.” Dalia’s parents sought out counseling services for behavioral issues on the recommendation of her school. The issues included argumentative behavior with authority figures, physical altercations with peers, poor concentration in class, irritable mood, verbal combativeness when confronted, truancy, and highly sexualized behavior with male peers. At home, Dalia had become more argumentative and physically threatening. Her parents had discovered that she and her friends drank alcohol in their home. Dalia’s parents also reported that she was up most of the night and slept most of the day. They also reported that her mood was highly irritable and that she was extremely impulsive. She had no interest in getting involved with any extracurricular activities, stating that those things are “corny and boring.” In the first meeting, Dalia and her mother both appeared agitated with each other and became argumentative when going through the intake information. Dalia quickly told me that she was not .

Argument Position Essay Prompt English 3000 - Privacy You will write an 800 minimum word position paper in response to the article by Daniel Solove in Reading Critically, Writing Well - "Why Privacy Matters Even If You Have Nothing to Hide" on page 341. The essay must be formatted in MLA style with appropriate and correct in-text citations for all paraphrasing, summary and quoting, and must include a correct MLA Works Cited List. · You will argue for or against the position taken, agreeing or disagreeing with Solove, while using the article as a source and a reference. · In other words, do you think that if you have "nothing to hide", then online privacy doesn't matter? Why or why not? · Read the article carefully to understand what he is claiming. Your purpose is to convince your readers to take your argument seriously. · Therefore, you will need to acknowledge readers’ opposing views as well as any objections or questions they might have. · This is NOT a review of Solove’s article. Brainstorming/Pre-writing questions to consider: 1. Do you agree with the author’s estimation about online privacy and information gathering? Support your answer with reasons. 2. Solove divides violations of privacy into two types: Orwellian and Kafkaesque. What is the distinction between these two violations, and why does either of them matter? 3. To what extent should the government have such a significant power over citizens? Do you agree with Solove's assumption that a power differential is reason to be concerned, or do you look at the situation differently? Be sure to read the discussion section following the essay on p. 346-348 for insights into Solove's rhetorical and writing strategies. Position papers take on controversial issues that have no obvious “right” answer, no truth everyone accepts, no single authority everyone trusts. Consequently, simply gathering information – fact finding or expert sources – will not settle these disputes because ultimately they are a matter of opinion and judgment. Although it is not possible to prove that a position is right or wrong, it is possible to convince others through a well-constructed, reasoned argument. You must use and cite the one source from the text, but no more than three in total. Anything outside your own experience, or that is not considered common knowledge, must be cited, but your own ideas and voice must clearly be heard in the paper, while using the source as evidence to support your claim. You may NOT use Wikipedia as a source, but may use it to see what the conversation is about in your topic (make sure to scroll to the bottom of their page to see their credible sources). Be sure to review how to use quotes, paraphrasing, and summary effectively, and how to integrate evidence into a paper while citing correctly, both in-text and on correctly formatted MLA Works Cited List.
