Sandel's Argument Analysis
Savulescu could attempt a rebuttal to this dispute by adding that the benefits of human enhancements can be seen every day. For instance, we can see enhancements being implemented in athletes who use muscle enhancers, such as steroids, to improve their performances. College students are another group of individuals who use stimulators, such as Adderall, to improve their attention while studying or in a lecture. These may not seem as controversial to him and his supporters, however I find it to be alarming that our generation is accepting the deviance from nature and autonomy. Soon enough, these lesser ethical concerns could lead to the maltreatment of genetic enhancement. I believe Sandel successfully disputes his argument against germline

    There are thousands of voices all trying to talk over one another, and it’s his job to see that they don’t. He does his best to offer each one of them a deal: go through him, and you’ll get an equal chance to speak with everyone. It’s a deal many of them take. Outside of their own circle, after all, most of these voices have little chance of reaching the limelight. If they let him act as a go-between, they can get a little farther out, even if it’s just to the other people desperate to be heard.…

    As stated in Lee Bollinger's article, "admissions policies do not meaningfully affect a white student's chances of admission" so there is no actual proof that affirmative action is reverse discrimination against whites. Also affirmative action does not demean individual accomplishment, but enhances it because according to Nell Irvin Painter "without affirmative action, it never would have occurred to any large, white research university to consider [her] for professional employment." So if anything, affirmative action helps individuals have more successful lives by providing people with better opportunities than they would otherwise have. I think that Lee Bollinger's argument is the strongest, since he provides concrete evidence and actual…

    Butow's Argument Analysis

    Butow supports his argument by stating that the militarists’ “attitudes” eradicated any thought for surrender. Providing primary sources from Marquis Kido, Japanese governmental and military officials, Butow offers evidence that provides historians with a new perspective. The new perspective that Butow focuses on examines the terms of surrender offered to the Japanese at the Potsdam Conference. Through his investigation of the Potsdam terms, the author argues that Japan would have surrendered much faster if the United States had retracted the idea of unconditional surrender. Based on Butow’s arguments future historians would develop the author’s initial findings through their research and viewpoints on the terms of unconditional surrender.…

    Carnegie has inspired women and men to use their funds to their communities. Although he advised other wealthy to use their money to benefit the communities and help in the preservation of the political system and America economy. I believe Mr. Carnegie’s argument is persuasive and is still relevant today. The wealthy, as well as small business owners, are the job creators in our society today. Their vision and leadership help to support the lower class in earning a decent living while allowing them to realize their own potential. The lower class today has more opportunities that were not available to them generations ago. While government is there to provide a safety net for those less fortunate, it is the wealthy and job creators that…

    Wormald consistently and effectively uses evidence from both contemporary and modern sources to support her arguments throughout the article. Her evidence is largely used critically, with evaluation of source material appearing in either the main body of the text or in the footnotes. Consequently, this evaluation of evidence provides for a stronger and more convincing argument by demonstrating the reliability of her sources. Wormald is also able to acknowledge flaws in her evidence, but successfully justifies the use of flawed evidence by arguing for its importance, and demonstrating how it can still support her arguments, such as the vengeful writings of Anthony Welton. It is unclear, however, exactly how far the evidence may be extrapolated to the wider British population, as much of the evidence is taken from upper class and educated individuals in personal contact with the king.…

    Mickey Hess looks at the use of multiple identities by rap musicians to obscure the conflicting contradictions between authenticity and marketability. Hip hop, having budded from a culture of oppression against African-Americans, grew as a medium of resistance. Hess cites Tricia Rose’s words, stating that hip hop, in the context of resistance, wages an “ideological warfare with institutions and groups that symbolically, ideologically, and materially oppress African Americans” (pp.298). Therefore, the experience of oppression and life in the projects is central to most rappers’ identities as hip hop artists.…

    In recent discussions of Susan Bordos reading about women’s pressures in society, one controversial issue discusses how women have expectations in society that they think they have to follow. These expectations consist of being able to cook and work in the kitchen, look beautiful, and dress certain ways to gain attention. In contrast, other arguments are; men do not have to worry about their weight, they should be strong and maintain a fit body, and not needed to cook or help out in the kitchen. Proponents of this position, emphasize that women in this world have to follow what society portrays of them, otherwise by not doing it, they will not receive the same attention as they would if they listened to society. Overall, the issue presented…

    Tim Wise had a different childhood than most, he was raised by the phrase "Race matters." As a pre-schooler he was sent to a mostly black school and learned to respect black authority figures. This resulted in him being more racially aware while growing up. His main argument was that racial inequality still exists today. As he went through college, he became very involved in a group that advocated for better rights for people in Africa. Several weeks later, he was asked what he had done to address racism in his own city, New Orleans. He then realized he hadn't done anything in his own town. He began working for the next twenty years to advocate for racial equality still exists. The argument is made that white people are blind to their advantages and privileges. According to Wise, white privileges is built into our system and has helped us without us knowing. White people in the US have had many more privileges compared to people of color, it's just built into the foundation of our…

    At first read of this article, I realize how important this essay is for understanding the complexities of how many students must negotiate when writing for the first time. Not only in an academic community in general – but also in the different departments of the academic community such as; English, Philosophy, Biology, Psychology, etc.. After my second read of this article, I realize that Bartholomae’s audience is for teachers, in that, Bartholomae raises awareness for a need among composition and writing scholars to be very specific in the demands they make on students. However, even though many students are very much aware of the demands of the academic community, many are still lacking the power to live up to the expectation and engage,…
