Assignment 3 EN 101: This week’s assignment is intended to help get you started on the persuasive essay we will be working on throughout the remainder of this course. Before getting started on this assignment, it might be beneficial for you to read the criteria for the Week Six Persuasive Essay.
For this week, we will be practicing topic selection and outlining. Because this is preparation for next week’s persuasive essay, you will need to start by picking a topic that is persuasive. This topic must meet the following criteria:
Arguable (are there at least two logical, yet opposite ways to look at the issue? Are there at least two sides?)
Solvable (i.e. avoid religious, moral, or politically charged topics)
Manageable (keep your topic focused and specific)
Think of a specific problem or issue that you are interested in researching and writing an essay about. This issue should be argumentative in nature, so the topic that you choose should have an equally valid opposing viewpoint.
An example of an appropriate topic would be this:
A specific community is debating an ordinance banning the ownership of pit bulls. Some residents agree that pit bulls should be banned, while others disagree with this position (there is plenty of research to back up either side of the argument).
Your job from there will be to explore the issue, look at both sides of the argument as completely as you can, and take a side. Your essay will be an attempt to convince others to join you in your decision.
Directions
Look up and read the following article in the EBSCOhost Database:
Step-by-step through the writing process. (2007). Writing, 30. 1-8.

HIST102 – United States History since 1877
Prof. Brian Mark Weber, M.A.
Updated August 2015
Writing Assignment 1 and 2
This document contains important information regarding the Writing Assignment 1 and
Writing Assignment 2. The papers will be submitted through the “Assignments” area of
the classroom (upload the paper as a Word document and submit). Please contact me
immediately if you are unclear about these requirements.
The purpose of this assignment is to choose three important people or events in American
history through the readings of weeks 1-4 (writing assignment 1) or weeks 5-8 (writing
assignment 2.) You have some flexibility with this assignment. For example, you can
write about three important acts that the British imposed which caused the colonists to
seek independence against the mother country. Or, you could write about three important
events during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. Contact your instructor if you need
guidance regarding a topic.
The assignment asks you to find a minimum of two academically credible sources (one
may be your textbook), develop a clear, focused thesis statement, and to support your
thesis with clear, insightful, consistent writing. This assignment will enhance your
research and writing skills, both of which are applicable not only to this course but to
many different careers.
You may include your own opinions and ideas as long as they reflect a solid
understanding of the reading material. For example, if you write about the presidency of
Thomas Jefferson, feel free to include your opinion as to how his ideas made the country
stronger, freer, or more prosperous, but your primary focus should be an analysis of the
factual information that you have utilized to support your thesis and main ideas.
Your ideas must be supported by information from your sources since you are using these
sources to prove your thesis. After all, the purpose of a research paper is to make a case
and to convince the reader that your writing and research supports your thesis. Whether
you quote information directly from your sources, or paraphrase, you must cite your
sources generously to give credit to the sources and to avoid plagiarism.
You may utilize one of two citation methods in your essay (depending on which method
you are most familiar): MLA or Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will post links to web
sites that contain more specific information about utilizing these methods.
Your paper must contain a cover page, an introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs
(one paragraph for each of your three people/events) and a conclusion paragraph. The
paper length is about 3 pages, double-spaced. A separate document in the Resources
section of the classroom is a sample student essay. Please refer to this document to get a
visual representation of what your essay should look like.

Research Paper Using Word This assignment has two goals.docxaudeleypearl
Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.

to the "Citing and Writing" option under the Resources/Library/Get Help area in the LEO classroom. It is
important to review the final format for APA-style correctness even if generated by Word.
e. Include at least two (2) informational footnotes. Footnotes are not used to list a reference! Footnotes contain
information about the topic to which the footnote has been attached.
f. Place the references on a separate page following the body of the paper. Note: Use a hard return (CTRL

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

Thomas Jefferson, feel free to include your opinion as to how his ideas made the country
stronger, freer, or more prosperous, but your primary focus should be an analysis of the
factual information that you have utilized to support your thesis and main ideas.
Your ideas must be supported by information from your sources since you are using these
sources to prove your thesis. After all, the purpose of a research paper is to make a case
and to convince the reader that your writing and research supports your thesis. Whether
you quote information directly from your sources, or paraphrase, you must cite your
sources generously to give credit to the sources and to avoid plagiarism.
You may utilize one of two citation methods in your essay (depending on which method
you are most familiar): MLA or Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will post links to web
sites that contain more specific information about utilizing these methods.
Your paper must contain a cover page, an introduction paragraph, three body paragraphs
(one paragraph for each of your three people/events) and a conclusion paragraph. The
paper length is about 3 pages, double-spaced. A separate document in the Resources
section of the classroom is a sample student essay. Please refer to this document to get a
visual representation of what your essay should look like.

Research Paper Using Word This assignment has two goals.docxaudeleypearl
Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.
Paper organization
Open Word and save a blank document with the following name:

ENG 123 Writing Plan Guidelines and Rubric
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them,
and the cause is half won.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Overview: Persuasion is a constant in each of our lives. No matter where we look, what we read, what we see, or who we interact with, we are inevitably going to
encounter some form of persuasion. Advertisements want us to buy things. Newspapers and television want to convince us of how we should feel about events.
We are put into positions where we must defend our thoughts and beliefs to others, and the process we apply is typically some form of persuasion.
Persuasive writing is one of the most powerful forms of writing—it has the ability to influence one’s thoughts, and also the ability to change one’s mind about a
particular issue. The persuasive essay is an ideal opportunity to support an opinion on an issue using researched facts and information. It also gives you the
chance to recognize opposing viewpoints and refute it, noting that those who hold the opposing viewpoints are the intended audience of the piece.
Prompt: For this essay, you will identify an issue in your current major, a major you are interested in pursuing, or your field of work. You will then establish an
argument and support that argument with research and relevant evidence.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in one fully developed paragraph each:
I. Writing Plan: Use this writing plan as a way to gather your thoughts and determine your strategy for writing your critical analysis essay. This process will
allow you to develop a potential structure for effectively communicating and supporting your claim. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought
process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay.
A. Describe the argument to be addressed in your persuasive essay. Explain how the argument relates to your major, the major you are considering
pursuing, or your field of work.
B. Determine three key points that will be helpful in supporting your argument.
C. Identify the audience who will be reading your essay. What potential challenges will you encounter in supporting your argument with this
demographic?
D. Establish a goal that you hope to accomplish with this essay. What will this essay need to be successful?
E. List potential resources that could be used as supporting evidence for your argument, and provide a brief description of each and how they will
reinforce your argument.
F. Align key points of your argument with supporting resources for establishing an effective essay structure.
G. Based on your argument, determine at what points in the essay integrating evidence would be most effective, and explain why.
H. Describe a revision strategy that would be most effective while writing this essay. Why would this strategy be effective? ...

GENERAL COMMENTS
Instructor
Hello, Kelechi! I enjoyed reading your media
analysis essay. You have a great draft going here
as you've included many specific details and
examples throughout to examine how one part
affects the whole media production.
I've made some rubric-specific notes throughout
for your consideration. For example, you'll need to
clarify your introduction to introduce the film right
from the beginning.
Also, you should revise your thesis a bit as well as
add content throughout. Make sure to use
citations in MLA style as well.
I look forward to reading more of your work,
Kelechi.

What do you think?
Wordy | Language
Wordy:
If you use too many words to describe a relatively minor point, your paper may seem wordy.
In order to be as concise as possible, trim your sentences down and use longer, more
meaningful words. Try to use fewer two- and three-letter words, passive constructions, and
weak verbs such as "seem" and "appear."
Additional Comment
Instead, introduce the film or book you'll be discussing (the Lorax).
*Format citation to meet MLA style | Research
You should punctuate/format your citations correctly (here's a link to MLA In-Text Citations

Writing Prompt 1- Campaign Finance Reform:
Campaign finance reform, and the influence of money in politics more generally, is a contentious, unresolved issue. Make an argument for either more or less government regulation of campaign financing. Be sure to include the following:
· A summary of recent developments in campaign finance law in the United States, including acts of Congress and Supreme Court cases.
· A clear explanation as to why there should be more/less regulation of campaign finance. Be specific.
· An example of when a lack of regulation/too much regulation of campaign finance harmed American democracy.
· Predictions for the future—what barriers do you expect will inhibit the changes you suggest from occurring?
Writing Prompt 2- The Mass Media and an Enlightened Public:
The freedom of the press was included in the First Amendment to guarantee citizens’ access to news and information. Americans largely rely on the mass media to learn about what is going on in government and in the wider world.
Throughout American history, the public’s access to objective reporting has been threatened by partisan bias in the press, sensationalism, and attempts by the government to regulate the media. Additionally, political campaigns and politicians have long attempted to circumvent and control media coverage. And, in the contemporary era, new trends such as narrowcasting and media consolidation are seen by some as threats to the public’s ability to become informed. Your essay must contain the following information:
What about today’s media environment do you believe is the greatest obstacle to an enlightened public?
· Why?
· Provide a definition of this obstacle.
· Use references from the text.
· Provide two (2) recent examples of this threat.
· Describe how it impeded the public from becoming informed.
Paper requirements
You must have a very clear thesis statement.
· You must provide support for your thesis that is based on evidence (Legal, Empirical, Moral, Political)
· You must use a minimum of two outside sources. You must use APSA/ APA or MLA formatting in your citations.
You will be required to use in-text citations as well as providing a works cited at the end of your essay.
*Any thought that is not your own, must be cited.
· Your essay must be written in the format of a research paper which outlines a proposed policy.
· You must use complete sentences and present coherent thoughts in your argument.
· You must include a works cited
· The essay must be 2 to 3 pages in length
· Font size should be 12 point font
· Font style should be Times New Roman
· The essay must be double spaced
Points will be taken off for:
· Sloppy presentation, unorganized writing, and incoherent thoughts.
· Failure to answer all components of the writing prompt you choose to write about, and failing to follow style guidelines.
· Writing in first person (My opinion, I think, I believe, etc).
· Having grammatical.
Take a closer look at the article you chose for the Module Two dis.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Take a closer look at the article you chose for the Module Two discussion from USA Today Opinion.
For your initial post, share a link to your resource so that your peers and instructor have access to it again. Then, answer the following questions:
· What is the strength/validity of the argument?
· What resources are referenced to support the argument?
· What, if any, gaps or errors in logic are present?
In response to the initial posts of two of your peers, do the following:
· Read the editorials that they have chosen.
· Assess their interpretations of the strength/validity of the arguments presented in their articles. Do you agree with their thoughts on the strength/validity of the arguments? Why or why not?
· Later in this course and as part of your final project, you will be creating a counterargument or alternative argument to the claim of your primary article. Here, practice this skill by thinking about the gaps or errors in logic that your peers discussed in their posts and create one alternative or counterargument to the claim of each chosen article.

Hello all,
Dorian shows us how much we still have left to learn about hurricanes: Today's talker
Is the article I chose to assess, after going through week 2 and learning a little more about assessing an argument, I believe that my original post was completely wrong. I realize that I let my personal bias/knowledge of weather patterns cloud my focus. After reading the comments and looking over the article again I realize that the argument is weak. The author Alex Hubbard does not hold any formal education in meteorology, he does reference the Article Hurricane forecasters turn to new tools to predict when storms will rapidly intensify by Tristram Korten. The author of this article also has no formal education in meteorology. This article offers no support to his argument and therefor the argument lacks validity. By using Kortens article as a support to his premise Hubbards argument is weak, it does not offer any facts that support his claims. He claims that we have much to learn about hurricane’s, this may be a true statement, his resource does not back this statement, this is due to lack of education or qualification of the author, therefore to comment on meteorology in a professional format is spreading false knowledge. I believe there is an error in logical thinking by this author. When making a claim such as this the resources connected should be scholarly and support the claim. The authors lack of valid resources is an error in logical thinking. I would like to add that it is very disappointing, this author would have had a strong valid argument with some quick research. Meteorology and the unpredictability of weather patterns is not a hard topic to find resources that hold professional and educational validity.

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

Summary Exercise InstructionsFor this assignment only, there is .docxpicklesvalery
Summary Exercise Instructions
For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).
Here are some possible places to search for good sources:
· Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/
· Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)
· Microsoft Academic Search: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/
· Cornell University’s arXiv (open access sou ...
Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Ru.docxjoellemurphey
Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Russian oil originally due to the country being a reliable supplier to the European countries (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 76). Though the countries were allies with the United States, they were trying to become less dependent on the Middle East and saw that Russia was a reliable source. Much of this reliance was due to the “iron curtain” as well as the fact that many of the Eastern European countries were part of the Soviet Union in some way or affiliated with them.
It appears that much of the reason as to why these countries reached energy accords with Russia is due to the convenience. There was “limited access to storage and alternative sources of gas supply” (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 77). This pushed these countries to depend more on Russia, which appeared to be an easier access to gas supplies. Another reason might have been due to fear as the Kremlin punished Ukraine for voting for an anti-Moscow government (Bradshaw, 2015, p. 77). This action shows that many of these countries may have reached these accords due to the pressure and encouragement of the Soviet Government. In the 1980’s the dependence of European countries on Russian gas resources was 50-60%. In the 1970’s, many of the Eastern European countries also became reliant on Russia due to a greater demand of oil and gas. The surrounding countries that were providing resources were not able to keep up with the demand and thus these countries sought to get their sources from Russia. It also helped that Russia’s prices appeared to be lower than that of the world market (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 87-88). Due to the price of oil and gas and the availability, Eastern European countries were able to grow and build in gas import and its infrastructure, thus in turn causing it to be dependent on Russia.
Bradshaw, M. (2014).
Global Energy Dilemmas: Energy Security, Globalization, and Climate Change
. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press.
Based on your considered review of this module’s readings as well as your reflection upon the first three modules, evaluate the questions below.
In retrospect it seems obvious, but exactly how and why did Eastern European countries come to depend on Russian oil and natural gas after World War II?
Why did the Western Europeans reach energy accords with the Russians in the 1970s and early 1980s, building large-scale natural gas import infrastructures and increasing their dependence on Russian gas?

Write 350 words, excluding works cited and references, on the following topic:
Dipesh Chakrabarty cites John Stuart Mill to show one dimension of historicist
consciousness: “a recommendation to the colonized to wait.” What does Chakrabarty
mean by this phrase? Consider, e.g. why, according to Mill, “Indians, Africans, and other
‘rude’ nations” had to be consigned to what Chakrabarty called “an imaginary waiting
room of history.”

The Idea of Provincializing Europe
Europe . . . since 1914 has become provincialized, . . .
only the natural sciences are able to call forth a
quick international echo.
(Hans-Georg Gadamer, 1977)
The West is a name for a subject which gathers itself in
discourse but is also an object constituted discursively;
it is, evidently, a name always associating itself with
those regions, communities, and peoples.

Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However.docxjoellemurphey
Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However, by the 5th century CE – and onward – language was mainly spread by conquests, trades, religious affiliations, technological advancements or entertainment. (Gascoigne, 2001). For example, as the geographic territory under Roman control grew, the use of Latin as a common language also spread. In areas under Roman control, Latin was the spoken and written language of the courts and commerce, as well as the language of the Christian church. As the Roman Empire expanded, Latin served as a common language that allowed for people of diverse linguistic backgrounds to be able to communicate.
Onward and by the early 14th century, the trend toward the use of vernacular language had spread throughout most of Europe. As monarchies throughout the region began to consolidate, the use of vernacular languages contributed to an increasing nationalism, or feeling of pride in one’s own nation, and in this case among people of similar linguistic backgrounds. People began to feel more connected to local leaders than they did to influences from afar. These sociopolitical shifts, along with the development of moveable type (the printing press), helped to ensure the success of the vernacular languages during the Renaissance.
Assignment:
The goal of this assignment is to research and report on the origins of vernacular language, and its spread while also providing evidence of Latin’s influence on all Western languages.
Choose one native language spoken in Europe, discuss the origins of the vernacular language and describe how the language spread.
As a whole, in what ways has Latin influenced Western language development?
Prepare a 2-page essay (not including cover page and works cited page) answering the questions stated above in APA format.

Early Innovations and Their Impact Today Wilbur and Orville Wrig.docxjoellemurphey
Early Innovations and Their Impact Today
Wilbur and Orville Wright's innovative spirit allowed them to take their place in history. Their inventions have changed the way people live around the world. At the turn of the century, an explosion in technological achievements occurred. The same kind of energy that went into advances in aviation went into the development of automobiles, telephones, televisions, and immunizations to prevent diseases. These and other innovations and achievements continue to have an enormous impact on human life.
In this week's Discussion, you will analyze two technological innovations/achievements of the late 19th/early 20th century and describe the impact they have on life today.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 2 (pp.10–30) from this week's Learning Resources focusing on technological innovations and achievements around the globe.
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements (such as the telephone, television, automobiles, and vaccinations) from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Consider the ways in which these technologies made an impact on society at the turn of the century.
Reflect on how these technologies continue to impact your life today.
Support your assertions by making at least 2 references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis where you do the following:
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Describe, in your opinion, why you believe your choices were significant and created global impacts during that time period.
Explain how these two particular innovations/achievements impact the way you live today.

Early Constitutional ControversiesIn 1788, Alexander Hamilton and .docxjoellemurphey
Early Constitutional Controversies
In 1788, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who had both played active roles at the Constitutional Convention, worked together to write
The Federalist Papers
, a series of articles originally published in New York newspapers to convince readers to back the ratification of the Constitution. Constitutional scholars often refer to these papers to gain an appreciation of the “original intention” of the Framers, how those men expected the federal government to operate under the Constitution, and the powers they sought to grant or deny the federal government. By the early 1790s, however, Hamilton and Madison had divided over basic constitutional questions such as whether or not the federal government could charter a national bank. The American electorate, which had ratified the Constitution, had split on the issue as well, dividing into rival Federalist and Republican parties.
For this assignment, explore
one
significant constitutional controversy, from the first two decades of the United States under the Constitution (1789 to 1821). Topics to consider include:
The incorporation of the Bank of the United States
Debt assumption
The Jay Treaty
The Alien and Sedition Acts
The Election of 1800
John Marshall’s use of judicial review
The Louisiana Purchase
The trial of Aaron Burr
Jefferson’s Embargo
Federalist opposition to the War of 1812
Missouri’s application for statehood
Describe opposing views of the topic under consideration, and explain how each side used the Constitution to support its position. Assess the validity of the two sides according to your own interpretation of the Constitution as well as according to how the Constitution and constitutional principles were understood at the time the controversy occurred.
The paper should draw from at least
one
primary source and
two
scholarly, secondary sources for a total of three sources (not including the Constitution itself). For assistance on the use of primary and secondary sources, please see sections 8.1 and 8.2 of the Ashford Writing Center. The secondary sources should be accessed through any of the academic databases available through the Ashford University library.
The paper must be three pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least three scholarly resources (at least two of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.

GENERAL COMMENTS
Instructor
Hello, Kelechi! I enjoyed reading your media
analysis essay. You have a great draft going here
as you've included many specific details and
examples throughout to examine how one part
affects the whole media production.
I've made some rubric-specific notes throughout
for your consideration. For example, you'll need to
clarify your introduction to introduce the film right
from the beginning.
Also, you should revise your thesis a bit as well as
add content throughout. Make sure to use
citations in MLA style as well.
I look forward to reading more of your work,
Kelechi.

Hello!
My name is J.V. I hope these comments will assist you as you continue to learn about the
writing process. I look forward to reading your work!
*Revise Title* | Format
Here, instead of using the topic of the assignment or a shortened title, you could create a
title which captures the reader's attention. Example:
QM
QM
A narrative essay on a first road trip: Waterfalls and Concrete
A compare and contrast essay: Is One Mode of Technology Better?
A research/argumentative essay: Spyware: What Matters Most
A persuasive letter: Families Should Spend Time Together
What do you think?
Wordy | Language
Wordy:
If you use too many words to describe a relatively minor point, your paper may seem wordy.
In order to be as concise as possible, trim your sentences down and use longer, more
meaningful words. Try to use fewer two- and three-letter words, passive constructions, and
weak verbs such as "seem" and "appear."
Additional Comment
Instead, introduce the film or book you'll be discussing (the Lorax).
*Format citation to meet MLA style | Research
You should punctuate/format your citations correctly (here's a link to MLA In-Text Citations
Basics).
Also, here's an example:
Paraphrase:
...and then the economy would flourish (Smith 45).
Direct quote:
"...and the economy would do well" (Smith 45).

Writing Prompt 1- Campaign Finance Reform:
Campaign finance reform, and the influence of money in politics more generally, is a contentious, unresolved issue. Make an argument for either more or less government regulation of campaign financing. Be sure to include the following:
· A summary of recent developments in campaign finance law in the United States, including acts of Congress and Supreme Court cases.
· A clear explanation as to why there should be more/less regulation of campaign finance. Be specific.
· An example of when a lack of regulation/too much regulation of campaign finance harmed American democracy.
· Predictions for the future—what barriers do you expect will inhibit the changes you suggest from occurring?
Writing Prompt 2- The Mass Media and an Enlightened Public:
The freedom of the press was included in the First Amendment to guarantee citizens’ access to news and information. Americans largely rely on the mass media to learn about what is going on in government and in the wider world.
Throughout American history, the public’s access to objective reporting has been threatened by partisan bias in the press, sensationalism, and attempts by the government to regulate the media. Additionally, political campaigns and politicians have long attempted to circumvent and control media coverage. And, in the contemporary era, new trends such as narrowcasting and media consolidation are seen by some as threats to the public’s ability to become informed. Your essay must contain the following information:
What about today’s media environment do you believe is the greatest obstacle to an enlightened public?
· Why?
· Provide a definition of this obstacle.
· Use references from the text.
· Provide two (2) recent examples of this threat.
· Describe how it impeded the public from becoming informed.
Paper requirements
You must have a very clear thesis statement.
· You must provide support for your thesis that is based on evidence (Legal, Empirical, Moral, Political)
· You must use a minimum of two outside sources. You must use APSA/ APA or MLA formatting in your citations.
You will be required to use in-text citations as well as providing a works cited at the end of your essay.
*Any thought that is not your own, must be cited.
· Your essay must be written in the format of a research paper which outlines a proposed policy.
· You must use complete sentences and present coherent thoughts in your argument.
· You must include a works cited
· The essay must be 2 to 3 pages in length
· Font size should be 12 point font
· Font style should be Times New Roman
· The essay must be double spaced
Points will be taken off for:
· Sloppy presentation, unorganized writing, and incoherent thoughts.
· Failure to answer all components of the writing prompt you choose to write about, and failing to follow style guidelines.
· Writing in first person (My opinion, I think, I believe, etc).
· Having grammatical.
Take a closer look at the article you chose for the Module Two dis.docxdeanmtaylor1545
Take a closer look at the article you chose for the Module Two discussion from USA Today Opinion.
For your initial post, share a link to your resource so that your peers and instructor have access to it again. Then, answer the following questions:
· What is the strength/validity of the argument?
· What resources are referenced to support the argument?
· What, if any, gaps or errors in logic are present?
In response to the initial posts of two of your peers, do the following:
· Read the editorials that they have chosen.
· Assess their interpretations of the strength/validity of the arguments presented in their articles. Do you agree with their thoughts on the strength/validity of the arguments? Why or why not?
· Later in this course and as part of your final project, you will be creating a counterargument or alternative argument to the claim of your primary article. Here, practice this skill by thinking about the gaps or errors in logic that your peers discussed in their posts and create one alternative or counterargument to the claim of each chosen article.

Hello all,
Dorian shows us how much we still have left to learn about hurricanes: Today's talker
Is the article I chose to assess, after going through week 2 and learning a little more about assessing an argument, I believe that my original post was completely wrong. I realize that I let my personal bias/knowledge of weather patterns cloud my focus. After reading the comments and looking over the article again I realize that the argument is weak. The author Alex Hubbard does not hold any formal education in meteorology, he does reference the Article Hurricane forecasters turn to new tools to predict when storms will rapidly intensify by Tristram Korten. The author of this article also has no formal education in meteorology. This article offers no support to his argument and therefor the argument lacks validity. By using Kortens article as a support to his premise Hubbards argument is weak, it does not offer any facts that support his claims. He claims that we have much to learn about hurricane’s, this may be a true statement, his resource does not back this statement, this is due to lack of education or qualification of the author, therefore to comment on meteorology in a professional format is spreading false knowledge. I believe there is an error in logical thinking by this author. When making a claim such as this the resources connected should be scholarly and support the claim. The authors lack of valid resources is an error in logical thinking. I would like to add that it is very disappointing, this author would have had a strong valid argument with some quick research. Meteorology and the unpredictability of weather patterns is not a hard topic to find resources that hold professional and educational validity.

Classical Argument
Persuasion and ArgumentPersuasion is the process of drawing conclusions and getting others to accept them and act upon them.Argumentation is the process of drawing conclusions after looking at both sides of an issue and getting others to accept one side based upon logic and careful exploration of facts.
Rhetoric and AudienceRhetoric is the “art of speaking or writing effectively”It is a set of skills used in college and in the business world Effective communication is an important skill in the work forceEffective communication gets our point across without embarrassment for ourselves or others. Effective communication understands what the audience does and does not know about the topic.
Aristotle’s Appeals: Ethos, Logos, and PathosAristotle was a student of Plato. Later, he was a teacher for Alexander the Great. He identified three appeals that can be used to persuade others. Ethos=ethics. Logos=logic. Pathos=emotion
Ethos=Ethics, CredibilityAs a writer, you will establish your credibility through careful research. Articles from experts in the field of study will help you build your ethos in the paper. An advertisement using ethos would be a McDonald’s commercial stating the number of years in business (hence they know how to make a decent hamburger). A car dealership might also state how long they have been at the same location. Or, the dealership might make sure you know“ 2013 Time Dealer of the year award nominee for being among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service” (Fuson Automotive).
Logos=LogicWhen using logos in an argument, we provide facts, statistics, evidence, and reason. An automobile commercial stating the vehicle gets x mpg is proving a logos appeal. When gas prices climb, auto makers want to highlight how many miles per gallon the car can travel. Therefore, a car advertised as getting 40 mpg would appeal to a consumer who travels a distance of 40 miles to and from work. If the reader finds the evidence given “logical” it will appeal to the reader.
Pathos=EmotionA pathos appeal will tap into human emotions. Some commercials are deliberately funny and are geared to draw us to the restaurant or product being advertised. From about mid-January until February 14, TV ads focus on how we should tell our “significant” other “I love you.” Commercials such as the “Sandals Resort” plays to adults who want a romantic get-away. We are frequently told ...

Summary Exercise InstructionsFor this assignment only, there is .docxpicklesvalery
Summary Exercise Instructions
For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).
Here are some possible places to search for good sources:
· Internet Public Library: http://www.ipl.org/
· Google Scholar: http://scholar.google.com/ (note that this is different from regular Google)
· Microsoft Academic Search: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/

Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Ru.docxjoellemurphey
Eastern European countries appear to have become dependent on Russian oil originally due to the country being a reliable supplier to the European countries (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 76). Though the countries were allies with the United States, they were trying to become less dependent on the Middle East and saw that Russia was a reliable source. Much of this reliance was due to the “iron curtain” as well as the fact that many of the Eastern European countries were part of the Soviet Union in some way or affiliated with them.
It appears that much of the reason as to why these countries reached energy accords with Russia is due to the convenience. There was “limited access to storage and alternative sources of gas supply” (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 77). This pushed these countries to depend more on Russia, which appeared to be an easier access to gas supplies. Another reason might have been due to fear as the Kremlin punished Ukraine for voting for an anti-Moscow government (Bradshaw, 2015, p. 77). This action shows that many of these countries may have reached these accords due to the pressure and encouragement of the Soviet Government. In the 1980’s the dependence of European countries on Russian gas resources was 50-60%. In the 1970’s, many of the Eastern European countries also became reliant on Russia due to a greater demand of oil and gas. The surrounding countries that were providing resources were not able to keep up with the demand and thus these countries sought to get their sources from Russia. It also helped that Russia’s prices appeared to be lower than that of the world market (Bradshaw, 2014, p. 87-88). Due to the price of oil and gas and the availability, Eastern European countries were able to grow and build in gas import and its infrastructure, thus in turn causing it to be dependent on Russia.
Bradshaw, M. (2014).
Global Energy Dilemmas: Energy Security, Globalization, and Climate Change
. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press.
Based on your considered review of this module’s readings as well as your reflection upon the first three modules, evaluate the questions below.
In retrospect it seems obvious, but exactly how and why did Eastern European countries come to depend on Russian oil and natural gas after World War II?
Why did the Western Europeans reach energy accords with the Russians in the 1970s and early 1980s, building large-scale natural gas import infrastructures and increasing their dependence on Russian gas?

Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However.docxjoellemurphey
Early scholarly and philosophical manuscripts were in Greek. However, by the 5th century CE – and onward – language was mainly spread by conquests, trades, religious affiliations, technological advancements or entertainment. (Gascoigne, 2001). For example, as the geographic territory under Roman control grew, the use of Latin as a common language also spread. In areas under Roman control, Latin was the spoken and written language of the courts and commerce, as well as the language of the Christian church. As the Roman Empire expanded, Latin served as a common language that allowed for people of diverse linguistic backgrounds to be able to communicate.
Onward and by the early 14th century, the trend toward the use of vernacular language had spread throughout most of Europe. As monarchies throughout the region began to consolidate, the use of vernacular languages contributed to an increasing nationalism, or feeling of pride in one’s own nation, and in this case among people of similar linguistic backgrounds. People began to feel more connected to local leaders than they did to influences from afar. These sociopolitical shifts, along with the development of moveable type (the printing press), helped to ensure the success of the vernacular languages during the Renaissance.
Assignment:
The goal of this assignment is to research and report on the origins of vernacular language, and its spread while also providing evidence of Latin’s influence on all Western languages.
Choose one native language spoken in Europe, discuss the origins of the vernacular language and describe how the language spread.
As a whole, in what ways has Latin influenced Western language development?
Prepare a 2-page essay (not including cover page and works cited page) answering the questions stated above in APA format.

Early Innovations and Their Impact Today Wilbur and Orville Wrig.docxjoellemurphey
Early Innovations and Their Impact Today
Wilbur and Orville Wright's innovative spirit allowed them to take their place in history. Their inventions have changed the way people live around the world. At the turn of the century, an explosion in technological achievements occurred. The same kind of energy that went into advances in aviation went into the development of automobiles, telephones, televisions, and immunizations to prevent diseases. These and other innovations and achievements continue to have an enormous impact on human life.
In this week's Discussion, you will analyze two technological innovations/achievements of the late 19th/early 20th century and describe the impact they have on life today.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapter 2 (pp.10–30) from this week's Learning Resources focusing on technological innovations and achievements around the globe.
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements (such as the telephone, television, automobiles, and vaccinations) from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Consider the ways in which these technologies made an impact on society at the turn of the century.
Reflect on how these technologies continue to impact your life today.
Support your assertions by making at least 2 references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post by Day 3 a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis where you do the following:
Identify two significant technological innovations/achievements from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Describe, in your opinion, why you believe your choices were significant and created global impacts during that time period.
Explain how these two particular innovations/achievements impact the way you live today.

Early Constitutional ControversiesIn 1788, Alexander Hamilton and .docxjoellemurphey
Early Constitutional Controversies
In 1788, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who had both played active roles at the Constitutional Convention, worked together to write
The Federalist Papers
, a series of articles originally published in New York newspapers to convince readers to back the ratification of the Constitution. Constitutional scholars often refer to these papers to gain an appreciation of the “original intention” of the Framers, how those men expected the federal government to operate under the Constitution, and the powers they sought to grant or deny the federal government. By the early 1790s, however, Hamilton and Madison had divided over basic constitutional questions such as whether or not the federal government could charter a national bank. The American electorate, which had ratified the Constitution, had split on the issue as well, dividing into rival Federalist and Republican parties.
For this assignment, explore
one
significant constitutional controversy, from the first two decades of the United States under the Constitution (1789 to 1821). Topics to consider include:
The incorporation of the Bank of the United States
Debt assumption
The Jay Treaty
The Alien and Sedition Acts
The Election of 1800
John Marshall’s use of judicial review
The Louisiana Purchase
The trial of Aaron Burr
Jefferson’s Embargo
Federalist opposition to the War of 1812
Missouri’s application for statehood
Describe opposing views of the topic under consideration, and explain how each side used the Constitution to support its position. Assess the validity of the two sides according to your own interpretation of the Constitution as well as according to how the Constitution and constitutional principles were understood at the time the controversy occurred.
The paper should draw from at least
one
primary source and

Earlier this semester, you participated in a class discussion about .docxjoellemurphey
Earlier this semester, you participated in a class discussion about the character of Bath de Chaucer's wife. You are aware of the complexity of her as a resourceful, cunning, open and ambitious woman. For this essay, I would like you to write a comparison / contrast essay in which you discuss the Wife of Bath as you compare or contrast one or more of these three well-known modern American women: Beyoncé Lil 'Kim, and / or Lady Gaga.
Think beyond and below cliches and perceptions. The comparison should not be disrespectful to these modern iconic women. Obviously, times have changed, and I am in no way suggesting that these modern women share all or even some of the qualities of the Wife of Bath, aside from her drive for independence, sovereignty, and success.
When developing the comparisons and contrasts of it, you should use AT LEAST THREE SOURCES to gather information and knowledge to support the claims and interpretations of it. These sources should be cited in the text and on a works cited page using a precise MLA documentation style.
You will write one essay of 500 - 600 words for this paper . This essay must be formatted in MLA Paper form.
Here is the reading about The character of Bath de Chaucer’s life
From The Canterbury Tales:
General Prologue
Here bygynneth the Book of the Tales of Caunterbury
Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the root
And he bathed every veyne in swich liquor,
Of which virtue begotten is the flour;
5 Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tender croppes, and the yonge ring
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
10 That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, kowthe in probry londes;
15 And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seeke.
Bifil that in that seson, on a day,

UNIT 3. LESSON 1 - Elements of Comparison and/or Contrast Essays
INTRODUCTION
In this lesson, we will focus on:
A. Methods of Organization
B. Organizational Patterns
C. Unity and Coherence
We use comparison and contrast essays to help us better understand (1) the similarities, (2) the
differences, and/or (3) the similarities and the differences between, or among, two or more things or
ideas.
These essays can help us make sense of the world around us and make better decisions about our
actions. They also can change or strengthen our opinions. In other words, they can help us to think
critically about a subject.
A. Methods of Organization
There are three Methods of Organization for Comparison and/or Contrast Essays:
• The Comparison Essay
• The Contrast Essay
• The Comparison and Contrast Essay
The comparison essay discusses how two things are alike; it compares or
discusses similarities.
Think about Thesis Statement A:
Thesis Statement A: The two major political parties, the Republican and the Democratic
Parties, are similar in their intention to protect the country, the people, and their own interests.
You can look at this thesis statement in the following way:
Topics
the Republican Party
the Democratic Party
Controlling Idea
(Method of Organization)
are similar in their intention to protect
Points
(or Categories)
the country
the people
their own interests
EAP1640 - Level 6 Writing (Virtual College, MDC)
Author: Professor Irasema Fernandez (do not copy or redistribute) (Unit 3: Lesson 1) Page 1 of 6
The thesis of the comparison essay includes:
• the topic (two topics to compare) = the Republican and Democratic parties
• the controlling idea (take a position) = are similar in their intention to protect
• the branches (points or categories) = the country, the people, and their own interests
Note: Comparisons can be less interesting than contrasts unless you write a comparison essay
when you know that the points to compare are interesting, unusual or unexpected.
The contrast essay discusses how two things are not similar; it contrasts or
discusses differences. The contrast essay presents a totally different point of view.
The thesis of the contrast essay also includes:
• the topic (two topics to contrast)
• the controlling idea (take a position)
• the branches (points or categories)
Thesis Statement B: The two major political parties, the Republican and the Democratic
Parties, are different in the way they protect the country, the people, and their own interests.
The comparison and contrast essay discusses how two things are similar and also different,
it compares and contrasts two points in one essay.
The thesis of the comparison and contrast essay also includes:

Each year on or around June 15, communities and municipalities around the world plan activities and programs to recognize World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, a day set aside to spread awareness of the abuse of the elderly (Center of Excellence on Elder Abuse & Neglect, 2013). The abuse of older adults is a growing concern and statistics suggest that the number of elders experiencing abuse is an alarmingly high number. Research suggests that close to half the people diagnosed with dementia experience some form of abuse (Cooper, C., Selwood, A., Blanchard, M., Walker, Z., Blizard, R., & Livingston, G., 2009; Wiglesworth, A., Mosqueda, L., Mulnard, R., Liao, S., Gibbs, L., & Fitzgerald, W., 2010, as cited on http://www.ncea.aoa.gov/Library/Data/index.aspx). Elder abuse takes on many forms and can include physical, emotional, psychological, and economic abuse. The legendary American actor, Mickey Rooney, spoke to the United States Senate, describing his own experiences of pain and neglect at the hands of his stepson, asking legislators to take seriously the abuse of the elderly.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Toulmin Essay Cover Letter
1) The purpose of this essay was to conduct research and
complete writing about a topic of local interest, or of taking a
national or global topic and finding a local angle on it. By
completing this argumentative approach on a topic of interest
will allow the reader to see both the claim and warrant for the
argument? If the claim and warrant are successful, one could
only hope that the reader would be able to take valuable insight
into the topic. 2) From completing this assignment I have
learned a few new terms and meanings which I can now apply to
my reading and writing that will help me better present the
purpose and intention for the writing. 3) In the beginning of the
assignment I was dreadful of the task at hand but as the
information unfolded, it began to make more sense and I was
able to better understand the concept. The difficulties that I had
we’re how do I accomplish this and where do I begin. The
annotated bibliography was also very frustrating on
understanding the intent and purpose of having it if a works
cited is included. In my opinion this was “over-kill” and has
taught me nothing except to hate writing even more. 4) Mostly
I did not enjoy anything about this assignment as I do not like
arguments and try to avoid them at all cost and I do not like to
4. write and am only taking this class to meet a requirement for
my BS. 5) I decided to write about this topic because it is a big
issue in the news today in the area where I am stationed and is
causing a lot of commotion.

Consequences of Accepting Federal Grants
What is a federal grant? First of all, grants are not
benefits or even entitlements nor are they assistance or loans to
individuals. According to Grants.gov, “a federal grant is an
award of financial assistance that is given from an agency to a
recipient in order to carry out a public purpose of either support
or stimulation that has been authorized by a law.” Two years
ago President Obama approved the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, Bill 111 for the purpose of: “(1) To
preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery. (2) To
assist those most impacted by the recession. (3) To provide
investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring
technological advances in science and health. (4) To invest in
transportation, environmental protection, and other
infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits. (5)
To stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to
minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and
counterproductive state and local tax increases.” (Bill 111 H.R.
1, pg 1-2). As you can see this Bill is very importance, but
what it does not tell you are what happens after the grant funds
are exhausted. In this essay, Nashville Metro will be discussed
in particular concerning a grant that they had received through
this act to create jobs. Not just any jobs, but police officer jobs
and now Nashville Metro has a budget crisis on their hands.
The situation will be explained as well as a few solutions that
could potentially help or resolve the issues at hand.

My claim that I want to make is that within Tennessee alone,
federal assistance grants have now been exhausted and Congress
plans to cut and reduce future grants as well and leave it up to
the states to resolve the issues that have been temporarily fixed
by approving grants. The issue of cut and reduced future grants
creates an exigence and large concern for Tennessee and other
states alike. The reason behind this could be because of the
dependency placed on receiving these grants at the time of
approval of the grants. More and more, businesses, agencies,
and companies are relying on federal grants to pull them out of
a bind. When will this all stop? One federal grant that has been
in the news lately is the Nashville Metro federal grant that is
stirring up potential property tax increases. This federal grant
was approved as part of the “American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 that created 50 new police officer
positions and has paid their salaries and benefits for the past 3
years.” (Garrison) Those 50 new police officer jobs that were
7. created ultimately lead to better crime fighting and prevention
in the Nashville Metro area. According to COPS and the United
States Department of Justice websites, “Nashville had received
$8.6 million in federal grant money that has paid for the 50 new
officer positions benefits and salaries for going on three years
now.” The three years will be up in July 2012 and as a result
Nashville Metropolitan government will be responsible for
absorbing this cost that was never budgeted or mentioned during
the beginning stages of the approval process. Now, Nashville
Metropolitan is looking at trying to find ways to pay for these
positions that were part of President Obama’s American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Comment by Amy

So how does Nashville plan to handle the issue of an exhausted
federal grant? One potential solution that Mayor Dean is
looking hard at doing is to increase taxes for the Nashville
Tennessee area. The tax increase is focused mainly on
increasing property tax alone. This has the people of Nashville
heated and upset. This solution could have potentially grave
damage to the Metro area as well. Also, with a declining
economy, huge deficit that continues to grow, and forced
Obama-care, the people just do not know, if Mayor Dean
approves the tax increase, how they will make ends meet.
Another potential solution is for Nashville Metropolitan
8. Department to seek out additional or ask for additional funding
through an extension of the already approved grant. Without a
doubt, the federal grant has enhanced the Nashville Metro area
crime fighting and prevention efforts but dependencies on
grants are becoming a norm. However, an extension would
allow for Mayor Dean and the Nashville Metro Department to
properly budget for those 50 new positions in order to meet
year-end strengths and remain within the budget so that they
would no longer have to rely on the federal grant funds. Lastly,
at a last resort solution, those 50 new positions would have to
be either eliminated or other areas be cut in order to allow the
new officer positions to become permanent. By doing this, the
improved crime prevention over the course of the last three
years could ultimately pay the consequences if they are
eliminated or other areas would then suffer and be handed
additional consequences. Either way, this solution would not go
good with either solution enforced. Comment by Amy Sloan:

In conclusion consequences of accepting federal grants are not
to be taken lightly and all the risks associated with each grants
should be scrutinized before acceptance. If Congress does cut or
scale back federal grants in the future, now is the time that
government businesses, agencies and companies attempt to get a
clear visual of where they are headed and not rely on federal
grants like they are now. However, Bill 111 stated that the bill
will accomplish the following: “To stabilize State and local
government budgets, in order to minimize and avoid reductions
in essential services and counterproductive state and local tax
increases.” (Bill 111 H.R. 1, pg 1-2). This purpose is the
driving factor behind many government businesses, agencies
and companies relying so heavily on the federal grants.
Because of this, Nashville Metro increased the local police
force by 50 officers that has definitely made an impact on the
9. crime fighting and prevention rate or Mayor Dean would not
want to keep them on permanently. As such, if you look at
other cities across the country you can see that by a reduce
police force they suffer from higher crime rates which is the
major consequence that Nashville Metro would have on their
hands if the solutions mentioned above are not handled or acted
on accordingly. Comment by Amy Sloan:

Assignment Instructions
Instructions: Please carefully read the following assignment
details in its entirety. There are many components to this
particular assignment, and each component is graded.
This essay should be between 900 and 1000 words. It must
include an annotated bibliography.
The Toulmin essay will help you practice what you have learned
so far in this course. First, you will choose a topic of interest.
Make sure that you choose a topic with two opposing sides.
Then, you need to research that topic in order to specify the
topic’s scope, so it can be easily discussed in 1000 word essay.
For example, you may be interested in learning more about
traffic issues in the United States. However, that topic is too
large to cover in a 1000 word essay. After researching peer
reviewed articles that discuss US traffic issues in general, you
may discover that the metro system in the District of Columbia
is underfunded and underutilized. Through your research, you
found that you could make a claim that more funds should be
made available in order to upgrade the metro system, which
would improve traffic issues in the District of Columbia. This
11. would make for a stronger, specific argument.
The following overused topics may not be used in your essay:
gun control,
abortion,
capital punishment,
gay marriage,
gays in the military,
mandatory drug testing,
euthanasia,
childhood obesity,
women in the military,
diets (including the Palio diet),
workout regiments (including CrossFit),
underage drinking,
and the legalization of marijuana.
This essay must include a minimum of five sources.Three
should peer-reviewed sources, preferably from the APUS
databases. You may use eBooks; however, as discussed in your
textbook, books generally are not as current as peer-reviewed
articles. You may also use primary sources (interviews,
statistics, etc); however, these primary sources should be
obtained from experts within that field. If you cannot find
strong sources for your chosen topic, then change your topic. If
you have a question about the validity of a source, please email
me, or post your question to the open forum.
Make sure to include the following sections in your essay:
an introduction and claim,
background,
body,
and a conclusion.
12. Within the body of your essay, make sure to include the
following in any order:
support for your claim,
opposing or alternate views,
scholarly research,
and rebuttals.
After you have written your essay, please make sure to revise
the content of your essay. Lastly, be sure to edit your essay by
checking grammar, format, and smaller technical details. Please
make sure your essay is written in third person.
The Annotated Bibliography
An annotated Bibliography (AB) is due with your Toulmin
essay. Using the MLA guide, list each source as it will appear
on the Works Cited page of your essay. In two to three
sentences summarize the text. I will be checking for grammar as
well. This is what makes it an “annotated” bibliography. A
sample is shown below.

Defusing the Ticking Social Bomb Argument: The Right to
Self-Defensive Torture
Author: Steinhoff, Uwe
ProQuest document link
Abstract: Human beings have a right to self-defensive torture
against culpable aggressors. That is hardly
surprising. Since people have a right even to kill a culpable
aggressor if, in the circumstances, this is a
proportionate and necessary means of self-defence against an
imminent threat, and since most forms of torture
are not as bad as killing, then people must also have a right to
torture a culpable aggressor if this, too, in the
circumstances, is a proportionate and necessary means of self-
defence against an imminent threat. However,
people sometimes feel justified in violating the rights of a
person because the stakes are so very high. Genuine
cases of self-defensive torture are extremely rare, much rarer
than cases of self-defensive killing. In fact, nearly
all cases of torture are unjustified, as are the overwhelming
majority of cases of killing.

Full text: Human beings have a right to self-defensive torture
against culpable aggressors. That is hardly
surprising. Since people have a right even to kill a culpable
aggressor if, in the circumstances, this is a
proportionate and necessary means of self-defence against an
imminent threat, and since most forms of torture
15. are not as bad as killing, then people must also have a right to
torture a culpable aggressor if this, too, in the
circumstances, is a proportionate and necessary means of self-
defence against an imminent threat.
However, we sometimes feel justified in violating the rights of a
person because the stakes are so very high. If
we could save humanity only by killing one innocent person,
thus violating his rights, we might well feel justified
in doing so. In the same vein, the proponents of what I call the
ticking social bomb argument hold that in certain
circumstances it is justifiable to violate people's right to self-
defence (which also includes the defence of others)
against a culpable aggressor by shielding this aggressor from
torture (thus aiding and abetting him in his
aggression), even if in the circumstances torture would have
been a proportionate and necessary means of self-
defence against the imminent threat posed by the aggressor.
They say that this severe rights-violation is
justifiable if such an act of self-defensive torture would have
terrible social consequences. And they claim that
acts of torture always have such consequences: any act of
torture, according to them, leads to the
institutionalisation of torture, to a pandemic of torture, to a
social explosion of torture, as it were.
This is the ticking social bomb argument. I will argue here that
it is sheer fantasy and that we should not cede
our right to self-defensive torture to unrealistic consequentialist
concoctions.
MANY READERS, especially those familiar with the
philosophical debate about torture, might rub their eyes in
disbelief after these introductory paragraphs. After all, the
structure and the style of this argument are quite
familiar-however, the conclusion is different from what one
might be accustomed to.
What happened? Well, I have mimicked-indeed mocked-the way
quite a few absolutist opponents of torture deal
16. with the so-called ticking-bomb argument (not to be confused
with what I call the ticking social bomb argument):
they like to pose as the defenders of human rights or of
deontological constraints against evil or as deluded
consequentialists who are intent on undermining those absolute
rights and constraints by appealing to allegedly
utterly unrealistic scenarios. Yet, unfortunately for these
absolutist torture opponents, it is rather easy to turn the
tables on them, along the lines of the introductory paragraphs.
This is precisely what I will do here.
Is Torture Absolutely Impermissible?
Let me first note that practically all recent publications directed
against the ticking-bomb argument do not
provide any plausible deontological argument for the claim that
there is an absolute right (as least as far as the
real world is concerned) not to be tortured. Such a plausible
argument cannot be provided by simply

brandishing the concepts of "human dignity" or of "ends in
themselves" or "human rights", etc.; rather, a
plausible argument would have to show why torture in self-
defence should be absolutely prohibited or would
violate human rights or human dignity even while killing in
self-defence is not thus prohibited or does not violate
human rights or dignity. This is obviously a very difficult
17. prerequisite, and in their desperation some absolutist
opponents have resorted to dogmatically insisting that all forms
of torture are worse than death.1 Well, they are
not, as a moment's reflection can easily show. Would you prefer
death to thirty minutes of "waterboarding"? Or
even to a whole day of waterboarding?
Of course, more could be said on the failure of several
deontological arguments, or better, pseudo-arguments-
"pseudo" because they all beg the question or make
preposterous empirical assumptions-but it has been said in
other places already.2 However, let me nonetheless provide one
example for my claim that recent critics of the
ticking-bomb argument fail to provide arguments for their
deontological claims.
My example is a very prominent one, namely that of Henry
Shue. Shue has written an article on torture that is
frequently referred to in the literature as "seminal" or "classic",
and with good reason.3 In that article he claimed
that single acts of torture can be morally justified in extreme
conditions. He has since rescinded this position
and become an absolutist opponent of torture.
However, in that older article Shue had at least developed an
argument for why torture might always be
impermissible even if killing is sometimes justified. I have
criticised this argument elsewhere4-it is clearly wrong,
and Shue no longer adheres to it. But instead of providing a new
argument, he now just makes irrelevant
references or blatantly wrong statements. As regards the former,
he begins his article "Torture in Dreamland"-a
favourite among absolutist opponents of torture-with the
apodictic statement: "Torture is wrong."5 This short
statement comes with a footnote that bears the whole
argumentative burden: "David Sussman provides a
powerful explanation of why torture is wrong in his article in
this volume."6 Yet Sussman not only provides no
powerful explanation of why torture is wrong, he provides no
18. explanation at all, nor does he claim to do so.
Instead, he offers as conclusion merely the following: "If life
calls for a special kind of respect or concern from
us, then torture, insofar as it aims to transform life into a kind
of anti-life, must be morally offensive in a way that
is different from and perhaps greater than even killing."7
Well, perhaps not.8 But however that may be, even if torture
were morally more offensive than killing-by which
Sussman means only, as is clear from an important earlier
article of his, that torture "bears an especially high
burden of justification, greater in degree and different in kind
from even that of killing"9-this would not show that
it is always wrong (and Sussman explicitly says that he does
"not here contend that torture is categorically
wrong").10 After all, killing someone is morally more offensive
than breaking someone's finger, but that
obviously does not show that it is always wrong to kill
someone. It would at best suggest this if breaking
someone's finger were always morally wrong-but it isn't. Killing
someone is not always morally wrong, either.
Therefore the fact, if it were a fact, that torture is always
morally more offensive than killing could not show, or
even so much as suggest, that torture is always morally wrong.
As regards making blatantly wrong statements, Shue claims in
his most recent article on torture (and other
issues), again apodictically: "Clearly torture is morally wrong-
no one seriously suggests otherwise."11 Either
Shue is using the term "morally wrong" in an entirely
idiosyncratic fashion, or else he lacks an overview of the
current debate-strangely enough for someone who vigorously
takes part in it. Authors like, for example
(completely aside from those who have not published in
English), Winfried Brugger, Stephen Kershnar, Fritz
Allhof, Seumas Miller, Francesco Belvisi, Mirko Bargaric, Julie
Clarke, Jeff McMahan and myself, definitely do
seriously suggest otherwise.
19. Thus, apart from dogmatic statements and imagined consensus,
Shue has nothing to offer on the deontological
front against self-defensive torture. I think that this is quite
revealing.
Straw Man 'Idealisations'
Let us now turn to Shue's criticism of the ticking-bomb
argument. "There is a standard philosopher's example
05 February 2014 Page 2 of 9 ProQuest
which someone always invokes: suppose a fanatic, perfectly
willing to die rather than collaborate in the
thwarting of his own scheme, has set a hidden nuclear device to
explode in the heart of Paris. There is no time
to evacuate the innocent people or even the movable art
treasures-the only hope of preventing tragedy is to
torture the perpetrator, find the device, and deactivate it." While
Shue had once seen "no way to deny the
permissibility of torture in a case just like this",12 he has
increasingly stressed the unlikelihood of this situation
over the years, coming to the conclusion "that one should
absolutely never torture".13 The "idealisations" Shue
detects in this ticking-bomb case include the idea that the
person to be tortured "is somehow known with
certainty actually to be the person who planted the ticking
bomb" and that the torture victim "quickly divulges the
crucial information before the bomb has had time to
explode".14
But whose idealisations are these? Shue claims that "someone"
always invokes this tickingbomb scenario, but
note that in his description of the scenario those idealisations
are missing. And in fact Shue never ever provides
a reference revealing the identity of this mysterious someone
engaging in the unrealistic idealisations that
20. bother Shue so much. So who is it?
The fact is that it is Shue himself. He conjures up a ticking-
bomb argument of his very own making in order then
conveniently to detect idealisations in it that he himself has
personally put there in the first place.15 If someone
is being unrealistic here, it is Shue himself.
No one who has ever used a ticking-bomb scenario to argue for
the permissibility of torture in the real world
(instead of only to test the strength or scope of our presumably
absolutist convictions) has ever used a scenario
that involved the two idealisations just mentioned. And no one
needs to, as we will see below.
The supposed "idealisation" Shue detests most, however, is that
of the rare, isolated case, which holds that
incidents of torture do not recur: "Once the original 'right man'
becomes too hysterical to provide coherent
information, the torturers do not simply move on to, as it were,
the second-best 'right man.' And the torturers do
not, operating on the principle that practice makes perfect,
circulate from, say, Guantanamo to Bagram to Abu
Ghraib to Romania to Poland."16 Shue, in contrast, proclaims
that the ticking-bomb hypotheticals
are not simply imaginary but unrealistic, like an imaginary
alcoholic who drinks two beers only a night. There are
former alcoholics, who do not drink at all, and active
alcoholics. To think that there may be rare alcoholics who
drink moderately is to fail to understand alcoholism. Similarly,
history does not present us with a government
that used torture selectively and judiciously.17
The alcoholism analogy is the epitome of the social ticking-
bomb argument: if an alcoholic has one drink, he will
have many. Similarly, if just one act of torture is allowed to
happen, many will follow-torture will "metastasize
throughout the body politic".18 A single act of torture suffices
to ignite the fuse that will lead to the social
explosion of torture.
21. Of course, it is Shue who fails to understand alcoholism-as
much as he fails to understand torture. He does not
have a shred of evidence for his claims. While officially he
stresses how important it is that "one immerses
oneself in the empirical details",19 it seems that he does not
actually really check the empirical facts. True, in
cheesy Hollywood soap operas and drinking melodramas an
alcoholic cannot have two beers only a night. In
reality, however, he can20-a fact Shue could have easily
discovered had he checked reality instead of taking
urban legend at face value. Thus, one has to turn Shue's
example upside-down: claiming that there cannot be
rare, isolated cases of torture is like claiming that an alcoholic
cannot have two beers only a night. It confuses
fact and fiction. It is torture-opposition in dreamland.
The True Dreamers
Shue seems to have a second argument, though, which he offers
under the heading of "abstraction" instead of
"idealisation". Unfortunately, it is difficult to decipher what
exactly the argument is supposed to be; Shue
certainly is not particularly clear about it. Anyway, let us have
a look at the decisive passages:
it is simply dreamy to think that all of a sudden we are simply
going to stumble upon someone who happens to
have the skills to make a man who planted a ticking bomb
reverse the direction of his life and assist us in
05 February 2014 Page 3 of 9 ProQuest
defusing his bomb. But this is very bad news for my attempt in
1978 ... to allow the exceptional case. Our ...
problem is abstraction: we have abstracted from the social
basis-the institutional context-necessary for the
practice of torture. For torture is a practice. Practitioners who
22. do not practice will not be very good at what they
do ...
Either "torturers" are just thugs who have no clue what they are
doing, in which case we need not allow for
exceptional cases in which they rapidly and effectively extract
invaluable catastrophepreventing information, or
some can have genuine expertise ... If we want it ready, we need
to maintain, even nourish, the organizations
and networks in which the expertise resides.21
This is an argument against torture based not on the bad
consequences of acts of torture, but the preconditions
of successful acts of interrogational torture and the
consequences of the institutionalisation of torture. The
argument seems to go like this:22
1. In order to torture someone in a way that will actually
retrieve the vital information, the torturer has to be
skilled and experienced.
2. Skilled and experienced torturers are available only if torture
is institutionalised.
3. Torture by unskilled and inexperienced torturers is always
unjustified.
4. However, institutionalising torture has very bad
consequences; it will mean that torture will metastasise
instead of being limited to one-off cases.
5. Conclusion: Torture is never justified (one should never
torture).
If this is not Shue's argument, I do not quite know, I admit,
what it is (and, again, the onus is on him to make his
argument clear, not on others). Anyway, what should we make
of this argument as stated here?
First of all, let me make clear that I whole-heartedly agree with
premiss 4. Institutionalising torture (which is
different from its mere legalisation),23 for example through
"torture warrants", the training of torturers, the
maintenance of torture camps, the production of torture
instruments, etc., is a very bad idea indeed. I absolutely
23. reject the institutionalisation of torture.
However, while I accept premiss 4, I reject the first three
premisses. They are all wrong.
As regards premiss 1, it is simply not true that in order to
torture someone in a way that will actually retrieve the
vital information, the torturer has to be skilled and experienced.
In a famous case in Germany in 2002, the mere
threat of torture (and some think that threatening torture is
torture) sufficed to make the child-kidnapper Magnus
Gäfgen disclose the location of the child (who, however, had
already been murdered by Gäfgen-but that does
not speak against the effectiveness of torture to retrieve the
truth in some cases).
Gäfgen wanted to avoid pain. Pain is a very strong motivator.
Even if Gäfgen had withstood the threat of pain,
the actual infliction of pain might very well have changed his
mind. And it is simply not that difficult to inflict pain.
It does not require long training and experience. To be sure, a
skilled and experienced torturer will be more
efficient in some cases, but in other cases he might not retrieve
the information any quicker than an untrained
torturer; and even if he did, the untrained torturer might still be
effective enough to avert the danger in time.
But we do not have to speculate: eight-year-old Denis Mook
was kidnapped in Bremen, Germany, in 1988. After
the ransom payment the kidnapper was arrested. He refused to
reveal the location of the child. The police then
beat the kidnapper until, finally, he did reveal the child's
location. The police retrieved the child alive from a
wooden box (90 x 50 x 40 centimetres) in which he had been
caged for thirteen days and thirteen nights (a
treatment that certainly amounts to torture, in this case of an
innocent child, and not of a culpable kidnapper).
The child was alive and in relatively good health. Thus, if we
follow Shue's advice and immerse ourselves in the
empirical details, we discover what he fails to see: for self-
24. defensive torture to be effective, you do not need
torture experts. (Besides, more than twenty years after this act
of torture, Germany has still not adopted the
widespread use of torture-as Amnesty International will
confirm. This is further proof that Shue's claim that there
cannot be isolated cases of torture is "dreamy", to use his word
of choice.)
Premiss 2 is also wrong. Even if it were correct that only a
torture bureaucracy could produce torture experts
05 February 2014 Page 4 of 9 ProQuest
(actually, it is not true, but I will not argue this point here), this
still would not mean that you have to
institutionalise torture, that is, create or maintain a torture
bureaucracy, in order to have access to torture
experts. It is enough that there once was a torture bureaucracy
somewhere in the not too distant past. This is,
for example, the case in Argentina or Chile. Thus, if they faced
a Gäfgen or Mook case (or a ticking-bomb
case), they would have access to trained torturers without
having to rely on the existence (now) of a torture
bureaucracy. Thus, there would be no metastatic effects
involved.
That premiss 3 is wrong already follows from the falsity of
premiss 1. However, it is worthwhile noting just how
wrong premiss 3 is. The idea behind the premiss is of course
that interrogational torture has to be likely to
succeed in order to be justifiable. Sometimes Shue even sounds
as though he thinks that torture actually has to
succeed. That it does succeed is one of the "idealisations" Shue
deplores.24 However, interrogational torture
indeed sometimes does succeed, as we just saw. Pointing out
this fact is not idealistic, but realistic, while
25. denying it is unrealistic.
Moreover, it is not true that self-defence (self-defensive torture
is no exception) has to be successful in order to
be justified. If somebody tries to fend off a rapist with mace
spray and fails, the use of the mace against the
rapist was still justified. Might does not make right, and
helplessness does not make wrong.
Still further, there does not even have to be a likelihood of
success in all cases. Indeed, success may be highly
unlikely. To recycle an example of mine: "Even if it were an
empirically well-proven and commonly well-known
fact that stopping a serial murderer and rapist by ramming a
sharp pencil deep into his ear only works one out of
10,000 times, a victim of a rapist would still be well within her
rights to ram a sharp pencil deep into the rapist's
ear if that is the only option remaining that at least could have
success."25 There is simply no reason why the
victim of an aggressor, or people who come to help the victim,
should forgo their last hope only in order to make
sure that the aggressor is not inconvenienced by defensive
measures that in all likelihood will not stop him
anyway. They are allowed to try to stop him with improbable
means if they run out of probable ones.
'Hard Cases Make Bad Law'
Thus, the attempt by Shue (and others) to justify violations of
our right to self-defensive torture with
consequentialist arguments fails. Of course, Shue (and others)
do not want to couch what they are doing in
terms of a programme for the consequentialist justification of
rights violations. They want to pass that buck to
the ticking-bomb theorist (or, in my case, the Dirty Harry
theorist: while I think the ticking-bomb scenario is
realistic, I do not believe that it ever really has been real).
However, that does not work.
Consider the fact that already in his original article on torture-
where he still conceded the moral permissibility of
26. torture in certain circumstances-Shue vehemently opposed the
legalisation of torture. "Hard cases make bad
law" was his slogan, and still is.26 However, Shue overlooks
that this slogan cuts both ways.27 As Volker Erb
has rightly argued, someone who shields an aggressor from
necessary and proportionate defensive measures
by or on behalf of the victim (for example, by making such
measures punishable or by physically obstructing
them) actually aids and abets the aggressor and violates the
rights and the human dignity of the victim.28 But
this is precisely what Shue thinks should happen: the police and
the law should prevent a would-be torturer from
defensively torturing Mook's kidnapper, for example, thereby
providing important support for the latter's
aggressive torture of the child. Thus, as far as these cases are
concerned, Shue suddenly does want to make
exceptions to the general rules that prohibit aiding and abetting
child-kidnappers, and, more generally, that
allow just self-defence and prohibit hindering it. He demands
that the victims' and their helpers' right to self-
defence (and freedom and life) be violated and that the police
and the law become the accomplices of the
kidnapper. Whatever happened to "hard cases make bad law"?
The only justification Shue has for demanding that the child-
kidnapper and child-torturer be aided and abetted
by legally shielding him or her from defensive torture, however,
is his consequentialist ticking social bomb
argument. Since that argument, as we saw, is spurious and a
pure fantasy, we must reject it and uphold the
right to self-defence, including the right to self-defensive
torture.
05 February 2014 Page 5 of 9 ProQuest
27. But Is It Self-Defence? Yes, It Is
But is torturing the terrorist in the ticking-bomb case really a
case of self-defence? Well, I will not argue here
that it is (although I do think it is and that even if it weren't,
there would be a non-consequentialist justification-
based on rights and on justice in the distribution of unavoidable
harm-for torturing the ticking-bomb terrorist).
Instead, I will focus on the childkidnapping case. I can do this
because Shue-and others-use the ticking social
bomb argument to deny, as we saw, the permissibility of any act
of torture, and not only the permissibility of
torture in the ticking-bomb case. Thus, they are committed to
the view that in the child-kidnapping case torture
is impermissible, too.
Anglo-Saxon philosophers and lawyers arguing for an absolute
prohibition of torture hardly ever consider the
child-kidnapping case. This is somewhat ironic. It is ironic
because they like to claim, as Shue does, that the
"advocates of torture love a ticking bomb".29 Actually,
however, it is the absolute prohibitionists who love it, or,
more precisely, who are obsessed with it-so much so that they
can hardly see beyond it. For the most part, they
labour under the delusion that by "defusing" the ticking-bomb
argument one defuses "the" argument for
torture.30
Therefore, it is hardly surprising that two recent critics of the
idea that torture can in some cases be justified by
an appeal to the right to self-defence focus exclusively on the
tickingbomb case.
Whitley Kaufman's criticism relies on the distinction between
what he (basically following Jeff McMahan) calls
the "Aggressor" and what he calls the "Culpable Bystander".
The latter is "a person who has committed a
wrongful act, but is not now committing a wrong".31 The
former is now committing a wrong, or is posing an
imminent threat. Kaufman thinks that the captured ticking-bomb
28. terrorist is only a Culpable Bystander and that
violence to avert pending unjust harm may be directed only
against Aggressors. I think that Kaufman is wrong
on both counts, but will not argue this here. Instead, I simply
want to point out that Kaufman's criticism is
completely inapplicable to the kidnapping case since, as he
himself admits, a "kidnapper ... is an aggressor
simply by virtue of his holding you hostage".32 Thus, Mook's
kidnapper, by holding the child hostage in a
wooden box, thereby depriving him of his freedom and torturing
him, is an aggressor, whether in custody or not.
He is, after all, torturing the child right now while he is in
custody. (This is also how German law, British law, and
US law see it.)33 Thus, torturing the kidnapper to save the child
would be a case of self-defensive torture even
on Kaufman's own assumptions.
Daniel Hill assumes (without argument) that if you cause a
person to perform a very specific action, then the
action by which you cause this is not self-defensive. Self-
defensive actions, according to him, are only those
that prevent a person from doing something. I see absolutely no
reason why one should accept this assumption.
It is certainly not part of the meaning of self-defence.
More important, however, is that Hill further thinks that there is
a big moral difference between preventing
someone from doing something and making him do something
specific. He tries to illustrate this difference with
several examples, which, for reasons of space, I cannot go into
here. Suffice it to say that I do not share his
intuitions at all.
Yet, the decisive point comes when he tries to identify "the
basis of this moral difference between preventing
someone from performing an action that will cause a tragedy
and causing someone to cause a tragedy not to
occur".34 It lies, he says, in the difference between negative
duties (not to do something) and positive duties (to
29. do something). He elaborates:
It seems permissible, then, in some circumstances to inflict pain
to force people to comply with their negative
duties, but it does not seem permissible to inflict pain in order
to force people to comply with their positive
duties, even extremely important positive duties, such as the
duty to avert an atrocity that the people in question
have set in motion.35
The problem is that Hill has a remarkably simplistic-indeed
mistaken-view of negative duties. To be sure, one
can discharge negative duties by doing nothing whatsoever ever,
but once one starts to do something one
05 February 2014 Page 6 of 9 ProQuest
might be able to discharge one's negative duties only by doing
something. As Richard Louis Trammel notes:
Drivers must correct the movement of their cars, and waiters
and waitresses must hold on to hot dishes passing
over their customers. Thus the requirement of the commands not
to kill or injure is not that the agent refrain
from initiating any causal processes tending toward death or
injury, but rather that the agent not initiate any
such causal processes without continuing to intervene to
counteract the tendencies he has previously
initiated.36
Thus, for the ticking-bomb terrorist and the child-kidnapper, the
positive action of revealing the location of the
bomb or of the child, respectively, is an obvious way to
discharge their negative duty not to kill or torture
innocent people unjustifiably. If they do not discharge this duty
voluntarily, they can be forced to discharge it in
self-defence-by self-defensive torture, if need be.
However, genuine cases of self-defensive torture are extremely
30. rare, much rarer than cases of self-defensive
killing. In fact, nearly all-but not absolutely all-cases of torture
are unjustified, as are the overwhelming majority
of cases of killing. Torturing so-called terrorists to find out
more about their networks is not a case of self-
defensive torture (and, as an aside, the necessity defence does
not apply either). Finally, let me again
emphasise that I am adamantly and categorically against the
institutionalisation of torture, and thus against
training torturers, torture warrants, torture camps and
"rendition".

Choose one of the essays from the section “Issues Facing the
America” listed in the “Supplemental Readings” section of the
course lessons. Then, explain to the class where you believe the
following terms are found in the essay if applicable: claim,
support, warrant, backing, rebuttal, and qualifier. Give citations
to back up your points, and create a final works cited citation
for this essay.
In your responses, comment on your classmate’s analysis of the
his/her chosen essay. If you disagree with the analysis, explain
why. You may also use this reply to comment on whether the
organization, as explained by your classmate, creates a strong
argument.
After reading the essay “Defusing the Ticking Social Bomb
Argument: The Right to Self-Defensive Torture.”, I have found
the areas that the following terms have been used in
demonstrating a particular point of view. To begin with, claim
has been used several times by the authors such as Shue who
argues in the second paragraph that they claim that acts of
torture usually have social consequences. Additionally, the term
claim has been used on several occasions such as paragraphs 6,
7, 8, 9, 11, 14 where the author supports his arguments bases on
Henry Shue’s arguments in his several articles on torture.
36. Support has also been used in the part titled, “Hard Cases Make
Bad Laws” in the second paragraph. In this instance, the author
uses the term support in defending arguments by Shue and what
Shue thinks should happen. Shue argues that it is essential to
defend and abet kidnappers since they also have some rights.
The term warrant has been used in the final paragraph that
begins with the word “However.” In this instance, the author
seeks to explain why self-defensive cases are extremely rarer
than cases of self-defensive killing (Shue, 2006). He therefore
emphasizes that he is against the institution of torture
wholesomely and thus, against torture warrants too.
Backing, which is another meaning for supporting has been used
in various contexts too. It has been employed below at the
endnotes where the author states that some of the claims support
certain verdicts. The term rebuttal also means to deny, it has
been used at the section titled “But Is It Self-Defence? Yes, It
Is” where the author indicates that Shue and other writers
utilize the tickling social bomb argument to deny the
permissibility of any act of torture (Sussman, 2006). Finally,
the term qualifier has been used when the author challenges
Daniel Hill’s assumptions regarding the moral difference of
burring someone from doing something particular.
