Throughout her Declaration of Conscience, Senator Margaret Chase Smith uses formal diction as well as the appeals of Pathos and Ethos to criticize the Senate for its role in the Red Scare and to encourage Americans to reunite as a country. Margaret Chase Smith achieves her purposes by eliciting Ethos, which is noticeable because of her use of allusion. “…There have been enough proved cases, such as the Amerasia case, the Hiss case, the Coplon case, the Gold case, to cause nationwide distrust...” Here Smith alludes to multiple cases of people being accused of Communist associations. She states that it is cases like these- faults of the Senate- that are influencing the American people to believe that the accusations are true. Naming the cases directly allows Smith to criticize the Senate with exact examples of when they went wrong.
Paper Number 2: Gaddis Chapter Six While reading Gaddis’ chapter six, he focused on how to question causation. He uses E.H. Carr’s fatal flaw as a big example for the distinction of “rational” and “accidental” causes. Gaddis also gives an alternative view on procedures of causation, and additional procedures historians need to keep in mind when narrate the reality of history. Carr explains rational causes as, “lead to fruitful generalizations and lessons can be learned from them.” While he says that accidental causes, “teach no lessons and lead to no conclusions.” Gaddis claims that Carr clearly confused himself as well as his readers about the differences between the two. Gaddis claims that not explaining clearly the distinction between rational and accidental causes is the more serious problem with Carr.
All Muslims seek to be martyrs. The tern is used to describe this act was important, whereas; suicide bomber implied an impulsive act by a deranged individual. The missions were ones that were deliberately and carefully chosen as part of their religious obligation. Rantisi emphasized “we do not order them to do it, but give them permission for them at certain times”. These acts were only allowed in response to acts of violence brought on by the Israeli side, which frequently affected innocent civilians.
In the article The Gaza Crisis, by Phyllis Bennis, she makes the claim that Israel violated international law when attacking Gaza since Israel knew that scores of the civilian inhabitants within Gaza would be injured or killed. Bennis also makes the argument that the United States was complicit towards the Israeli attacks. The author states that everyone reading this piece of writing ought to get in touch with their congressmen, their local and state governments, start petitions, and to criticize the brute force in which the Israelites have used against Gaza, illegally. The author anticipated this paper appealing to a large audience of citizens sympathetic to the Palestinians. Bennis is making an appeal to the world, and it does sound like
Visualize every search you make and every purchase you make online affects every news and ads your given. So if you’re only given what you know, then how can you discover what you don’t know? The Filter Bubble written by Eli Pariser, is an excellent argument against the very personalized internet we are given today. Pariser helps us understand how to much personalization is dangerous and how it makes for a more narrow minded, dumb, and biased community. He explains how this is done silently and how we don’t really notice it, because
Moore and Parker (2007, pps. 456-457) presents the reader with the article Controlling Irrational Fears After 9/11 which is an excellent of use of rhetoric in hiding premises and conclusions. The authors of the article provide a lot of arguments that use fallacies based on outrage and innuendo, which do not support many of the arguments that they make throughout. However, the authors do want to “influence our attitudes or beliefs,” (Moore and Parker, 2007, p. 117) which provides the basis for some argument exploration. Two primary arguments that are seen within the article are; 1) strategies currently used to fight terrorism are ineffective and; 2) the U.S. has over-reacted to terrorist attacks.
An important and frequently cited essay by Professor Michael Gazzaniga (Feb. 5, 1990) brought a scientist's discipline into the picture, shedding light on matters vital to an understanding of the drug question. He wrote, for instance, about different rates of addiction, and about ambient pressures that bear on addiction. Elsewhere, Professor James Q. Wilson, now of UCLA, has written eloquently in defense of the drug war. Milton Friedman from the beginning said it would not work, and would do damage. We have found Dr. Gazzaniga and others who have written on the subject persuasive in arguing that the weight of the evidence is against the current attempt to prohibit drugs.
Heilbroner he perceives stereotypes as “a kind of gossip about the world, a gossip that makes us prejudge people before we ever lay eyes on them” (5). Evidently we understand that to him our premature assumptions of cultures and people are created in the manner of a simple everyday commodity. We can clearly depict ones social class and well being by the way they are dressed and the color of their skin. In the movie Crash (2004) directed by Paul Higgins we can find a perfect example of how we life with our everyday premature assumptions encountered with our everyday premature assumptions that we create. In the scene where the mugging takes place, Peter and Anthony are presumed by Jean to be criminals and of a lower-class because of the way Peter and Anthony are

Human rights have since become a universally espoused yet widely disregarded concept. Organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch promote human rights and denounce human-rights abuses. In addition, such abuses around the world are monitored and documented by independent investigators ( "special rapporteurs" ) appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, which, in turn, rebukes cited nations for their human-rights failures. (The council replaced the UN Human Rights Commission, which had been accused of protecting human-rights violators, in mid-2006; similar accusations have been leveled at the new council.) In Europe, the supranational European Court of Human Rights, established under the Council of Europe, is intended to protect individual human rights from government abuse.
