He would also establish his own ethos by including his support for dignified persons that would validate his argument. In the beginning of his article, Gatto immediately establishes his credibility by stating in the first paragraph that he is " an award-winning educator and ardent libertarian…and has taught in New York public schools for more than two decades" (148). By stating his credibility, it would be easier for the audience to trust and believe Gatto's personal opinions about public education - that the lives of American civilians are manipulated by higher authorities in order to make sure that American citizens are dependent to the system and not independent thinkers. In order to further be seen as credible, Gatto uses expertise generalizations and figures that support his overall claim about public education. Gatto would use names such as James Bryant Conant, "the reason for how modern public schools are today," and the opinions of Alexander Inglis that “compulsory schooling was intended to be like the Prussia schooling system: divide children by subject, age, grading, and test scores in order to keep
After all these past events, the 1800’s wars, The Boer War, WWI, WWII and The Cold War, you’d think we’d all have learnt our lesson that war was destroying people, along with the world. As always
The energy that they invested into destroying the lives of the kingdoms that they invaded, and just the way these heathens carried out so much harm to the people that they came in contact with, was beyond cruel. The author Jonathan Clements gives a in-depth historic movement of the views from those that encountered the Viking nation. The medieval chronicles of Norse sagas was deep and hand me thinking these people were truly crazy and very much out of their mind. Odin who the Vikings worshiped as their lord of lord and mythical god can be seen as a controller. I can’t honestly believe that they took this god so serious and believe in his Aesir tribe.
With a strong background in history, Anderson narrates the sixties from one movement to another, building up the excitement of each to another giving the reader a very realistic idea of that time and analyses people’s ideas from that. Something that distinguishes Terry Anderson’s book from the rest is that given his strong background of history, Anderson can be reliable as a source. He first received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1971 and then returned to school to receive a Master of Arts in history from the University of Missouri in 1973. That didn’t seem enough for Anderson so in 1978 he received his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University. With a Master and a Ph.D degree in History, everyone can agree that Anderson’s credibility is high.
Benjamin Franklin: As for a leader, I believe I have a few characteristics of a “leader” … I recently published my successful “Poor Richards Almanac”, which in my opinion tells what all moral beings should strive to do. Kayden: Thanks so much for your time mister Franklin. What about you Patrick, do you consider yourself to being a leader in this time in history? Franklin and Henry show an odd expression for his choice of wording. Patrick Henry: Eh, I would say I am quite a bit of a leader.
Shelley and others hoped to integrate the best advances in thought of the previous generations and animate these with insight of great thinkers such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and even her father, William Godwin, a supporter of social justice that sought to bring about an egalitarian change. Film for Scott was the appropriate median to raise questions about unchecked scientific technological advances and the emphasis of the primacy of progress in the business spheres. His film ‘Bladerunner’ is heavily influenced by socio-economic and political events of the 1980’s, indeed the same period in which he composed his film in 1982. The film was made in the context of the 1980’s Reagan era and this was a time of significant change, where most held pessimistic views of a potentially nihilistic future. Frankenstein and Bladerunner challenges the notions of “men of genius” and raises the critical concern of the dangers of obtaining and acting upon scientific knowledge.
Audrey vs. Paris: Icon vs. Anti-icon Who is your icon? Who do you look up to? Are they your hero as well? After wondering those questions myself I found some useful definitions of the terms icon and hero to get me started. Icon is a pretty hard thing to define but the Sign of Life in the USA editors, Sonia Maasik and Jack Solomon did a pretty good job.
Organizations such as the HUAC were corrupt and overflowing with power at the time, ruining lives for their own self indulgence. It was a time to be afraid of everyone and everything, because you never knew who might be a communist spy for Russia. O 2. Red Scare (first and second) The first red scare was brought about by the immense and widespread fear of Bolshevism
Amazingly an author can really engage his/her audience, but that really takes a lot. Thurston Clarke was convincing his audience on how and why Kennedy’s speech succeeded, but at the same time giving the reader a model for a well worded and put together writing. All he provided were quotes from JFK’s Inaugural Address, descriptive background information on the actual speech and also on Kennedy’s life, and lastly by illustrating Kennedy’s presentation as a whole. Never have I been so convinced by an author, but Clarke will defiantly go down as the first
Her writing has been used in many educational books and articles, which show that her writing is both reliable and accurate (Bellis 3). By writing about the Manhattan Project, Mary was able to combine her interest in history and technology. The tone of the article is very orderly, because the piece follows the events in chronological order. Bellis makes the article both informative and entertaining. “The Light of the explosion then turned orange as the atomic fireball began shooting upwards at 360 feet per second, reddening and pulsing as it cooled (Bellis
