Examples Of Argumentative Essays Introduction

Social Media has become a plague in our world today, it's like a disease that is spread around very quickly, and super–fast. For example, some old family members of mine, who I would have never expected to use social media are now using it, and they have become very good at using it, their black belts of social media if you will. They heard young people talking about it, so it made them wonder "if teenagers are excited about this whole new trend might as well give it a shot, and see how well we do with it ourselves." But what they don't know is that social media is good for us for some good reason like keeping up with far relatives, keeping up with the news, and what's going around the world but once you start using it for other non–good...show more content...

Facebook jealousy is bad, for that it causes so many problems and arguments with your partner which in term can lead us to even consider cheating.

Cheating is another negative implication from using too much Facebook. By using Facebook in a unhealthy matter it increases the chance of someone cheating, it definitely increases the odds of a couple to cheat on each other, because Facebook has a private message feature allowing anybody to send a message where just the two people are the only ones that can read and see the messages. To some extent if the person doesn't want their partner to find out they're cheating, they will even create a fake profile to reach out to the person. A great example of this is one of my uncles actually cheated on his girlfriend using the same tactic I talked about. He used the private message feature which allowed him to keep his affair a secret from his girlfriend. While his girlfriend thought he was at work, he was actually cheating on another girl. Low–self–esteem is another negative implication, that can happen to us for using Facebook for such a long time! By using Facebook too much our self–esteem will drop, because we'll always be thinking about what other's think about our profile, posts, updates, and also being concerned about having the perfect life, and getting likes. There are so many great examples of this, but one that always comes to mind is the tv–show Catfish. Mostly all of the time the person

They just meet on websites, not physical meeting. Psychologist, Aric Sigman suggests "The use of social networking sites as opposed to face–to–face interaction could lead to major health problems." Also he claimed in the British Journal The Biologist "Spending too much time online could lead to social isolation, loneliness and a negative outlook. These types of psychological symptoms could eventually lead to more serious health concerns, such as heart disease, cancer and dementia." Using social media disturbs make deep relationship with others. When they are using social media we do not need to move a lot. It is okay just to stay. We do not need to active a lot. As a result, it leads naturally mental and physical disorders. Third, social media doesn't help for their studies or talents. People think social media is good places to show their talents or works what they did. For example, they argue people can share video clip what they playing the instruments or dancing or singing. It is, however, for people who already good to do those. If you are not good at those things and if you spend time to do social media, it would be hard to progress your talents.

Also, students who got good grades spend just a little time to use social media. Using social media Get more content

Sample Argumentative Essay Skills vs. Knowledge in Education

Jonan Donaldson

Introduction

Main Idea One: The Other Side – Learning Information is needed for tests a) Tests are the best way to compare students b) Tests measure if you understand something c) Not all students can have the same skills, but all can have the same knowledge

Main Idea Two: My Side 1– Education is about understanding a) Knowledge is limited, but imagination encircles the world (creativity) b) Knowledge is what other people think about something, but understanding is what you think. c) Everybody sees, hears, feels, and thinks differently, so each person will have a different understanding of the same thing.

Main Idea Three:...show more content...

If a person knows many facts, it is impressive, but not very useful. It is of much greater importance to be able to find information quickly, organize that information, analyze and understand the main ideas, put different pieces of information together (synthesize), and create new information. Together these skills make what we call information management and innovation, the skills which are most desired in the business world. Most people in the world believe that education is about remembering things to take tests which measure one's performance against other people who have studied the same information. However, this idea no longer matches the reality of the modern world in which knowledge is less important than creativity and deep understanding. To be successful in the age of technology, education must focus on helping students gain information management and innovation skills.

The wishes of victims' family and friends possibly need to be taken into account. There are arguments against harder sentences and capital punishment

One of the arguments against longer prison sentence is that the prisons are already full. Other people disagree and think that prisons should reform

More and more women are rising to the leadership challenge, even in some of the most male–dominated industries. The increase in the number of women attending college, the increasing number of women in the workplace or starting their own business has demonstrated to men who own businesses that women can be both managers and mothers, thus showing their male counterpart that women can in fact "do it all". In this paper the history of women in the workforce will be outlined, as well as the challenges they face. The changing attitudes towards women taking over family businesses will be looked at briefly, how women lead in comparison to how men lead, and a comparison of theirleadership style will also be discussed.

Those days have since past. As women are achieving higher levels of education and are being employed in more prominent positions, their leadership roles in family organizations have increased. Many young women are refusing to accept the rule of "primogeniture" (Nelton, 1999). Primogeniture is defined as a birthright or an inheritance. Although women are making great strides in this arena, there is still the feeling out there that the son should be considered first and the daughter as a second option, only if there is no son or if the son declines the offer. But, Nelton says that, "young women by and large feel that if they want to go into the family business, the opportunity is there." In each of the cases described by Nelton, the fathers encouraged their daughters to become involved in the family business. As well, each father let his daughter run the show once she was named CEO–the surest sign of support (Nelton, 1999). In more and more families and in business in general, gender is becoming not an issue. As roles increasingly change on the home front, the business world will soon mirror the changes taking place in the family structure. Nelton also urges women in leadership roles to not lose sight of the bottom line. She says it is "easy for women to get caught up in the management of people" (Nelton, 1999). She goes on to say that if you cannot prove that you are also profit–driven, you will never make it to the successor level.

Alcohol – it's a dangerous, harmful, international drug. It's legal... but you must be aware of the effects. Just a miuisule dose of alcohol can change your life – forever. Effects of alcohol include difficulties making desicoions, and a slow reaction time. However, this is just a portion of the dangerous things alcohol can do to you. Alcohol also affects your liver, nervous system and heart– this happens when ethanol enters your bloodstream. When ethanol enters your bloodstream, it slows you down – increasing your risk of accidents, attacking others – and even pregnancy as you may make extremely unsafe decisions. Why risk everything for this? Most people drink alcohol because they feel happier, and more confident. However, these short term...show more content...

Alcopops are alcohol. However, to dilute the strong taste, the spirits in alcopops are mixed with fruit juice. This means it tastes similar to a soft drink, and have bright colours. Although some teenagers may turn to these colourful drinks as it seems to look less harmful– they are wrong. Alcopops are even stronger than beers, and have a high sugar content due to the added fruit juice. So, never turn to alcopops for the sake of 'having fun'. In terms of having fun, there are many other ways to without drinking alcohol – alcohol often causes you to lose your judgement. Some people may drink alcohol because of peer pressure – but always say NO, and tell someone. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON, and no–one has the RIGHT to put you in danger like this. You may also drink because of peer infulence. This is when you are influenced by the people around you. Again, you are your own person– don't do things because you see other people do them. Just because your underage friends are doing it, is it really right? Some people may think: 'it's only one glass, it's not that bad' However, ethanol enters your body in 5–10 minutes, meaning you still will get slower in your movements, even if just by a little bit. However, if you drink too much, your movements will become more and more out of control. You will lose to ability to control yourself, and you will get tearful and angry. You will feel giddy, find it hard to stand up and you will even

Essay Domestic Violence Against Men

The first reaction upon hearing about the topic of battered men, for many people, is that of incredulity. Battered husbands are a topic for jokes (such as the cartoon image of a woman chasing her husband with a rolling–pin). One researcher noted that wives were the perpetrators in 73% of the depictions of domestic violence in newspaper comics (Saenger 1963).

Battered husbands have historically been either ignored or subjected to ridicule and abuse. In 18th–century France, a battered husband "was made to wear an outlandish outfit and ride backwards around the village on a donkey" (Steinmetz & Lucca 1988).

Even those of us who like to consider ourselves liberated and open–minded often have a difficult time even imagining that husband...show more content...

More recently, in a study of spousal homicide in the period from 1976 to 1985, it was found that there was an overall ratio of 1.3:1.0 of murdered wives to murdered husbands, and that "Black husbands were at greater risk of spouse homicide victimization than Black wives or White spouses of either sex" (Mercy & Saltzman 1989)]

The subject of husband–battering had finally been addressed, but not to the great satisfaction of anyone. Although it had finally been shown that there was violence being perpetrated both by wives and husbands, there was no information about relative frequency or severity, or who initiated the abuse and who was acting in self defense. Furthermore, some researchers became concerned that the use of police or social services references in choosing subjects to study might be biasing the results. In short, they recognized that battered husbands might be nearly invisible next to their female counterparts.

In 1976, for instance, in a critique of the Curtis report (which found women less likely to assault, but as likely to murder, as men), Wilt & Bannon wrote that "nonfatal violence committed by women against men is less likely to be reported to the police than is violence by men against women; thus, women assaulters who come to the attention of the police are likely to be those who have produced a fatal result."

In 1977, Suzanne Steinmetz released results from

Vaccinations (not finished, please check the three page assignment part thank you)

Vaccines are the treatment that helps the human body produce an immunity against certain diseases. Most people in the US have gotten some kind of vaccination in their life and routinely get check ups. But some people in the US have not gotten vaccines at all because of their parents not getting vaccines for them or because they don't believe that vaccines actually work. Parents and adults also think that the ingredients might harm them or the child, or even give the child a genetic disorder. Getting vaccinated is essential to human beings. It provides protection to the body against many deadly diseases. Vaccines are great for protection against diseases...show more content...

(Should Vaccines be Required...) Ellen Clayton, MD, JD, Professor of Pediatrics and Law at Vanderbilt Law School summarized the results of the report "The MMR vaccine does not cause autism..." (Should Vaccines be Required..) Along with other diseases that people think can happen if you get a vaccine.

Some people might think that the amount of ingredients in a vaccine aren't safe. The ingredients that are used such as thimerosal, formaldehyde, and aluminum can be very harmful in large amounts. But they are not used in harmful quantities in vaccines. According to Paul Offit, MD, children are exposed to more bacteria, toxins, and other things that can be harmful in one day of normal activities than in a vaccine. Children are also exposed to more aluminum in breast milk than any vaccine. FDA requires ten or more years of ingredient testing before it is even legal to use that vaccine. (Should Vaccines be Required..) The parents that believe vaccines are the problem may need to do more research on a more reliable source and ask their doctors more questions about getting them.

Some people might be thinking that a vaccination could have possible side effects that are harmful to them. The most common side effect is a severe allergic reaction, but that only occurs in one per couple hundred thousand, according to Sanjay Gupta. He has also said "You are 100 times more likely to get

Argumentative Essay On Vaccines

Childhood Vaccinations The number of individuals who are unvaccinated or infected in the United States has increased (Sun). Vaccines recommended for children are crucial and result in fewer health risks and greater healthy lifestyles. Proponents agree that vaccines are safe and effective, while opponents disagree and believe that vaccines create more negative outcomes than positive ("Should Any Vaccines..."). Opponents attempt to influence and persuade the majority of individuals to stray away from their viewpoints relating to the encouragement of vaccinating children. The rising percentage of children and parents who reject immunization and protest safe vaccines indicate less triumph for sufficient immunization for the population. There are many detrimental risks that affect unvaccinated children, and supporting childhood vaccinations profoundly benefits each parent and child. Vaccines are administered primarily to fabricate immunity against diseases like rubella, polio, whooping cough, diphtheria, and small pox ("Should Any Vaccines..."). Even though the majority of parents authorize their children to receive immunization, the minority of parents argue that the side effects and relations of these injections include seizures, paralysis, diabetes, and autism instead of immunity ("Should Any Vaccines..."). On August 27 2010 the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit put an end to these theories by stating that there is no significant relation between immunization and

Global Warming: Myth or Fact? The Global Warming theory has become increasingly popular over the past few years. Citizens of the world are being encouraged to be more environmentally conscious by others including politicians, celebrities, and world organizations. The problem with the theory lies in the fact that it has become more and more controversial as it gains publicity and attention. The basic concept behind this theory is that the earth was made with a balance of "greenhouse gasses". These gasses are naturally occurring within the atmosphere and they essentially make the planet habitable by keeping it warm. When the world became more industrialized, the amount of carbon dioxide that was being emitted into the atmosphere...show more content...

The more people habituating the planet, the more potential there is for emission of greenhouse gasses. In short, the basis of this argument other than years of documented research and scientific discovery is what harm could we do by being more conservative in our use of energy and other entities that produce more than their share of greenhouse gasses? The answer as it stands now is none. The harmful effects of ignoring this crisis are all but proven fact. The problem that the pro– global warming theorists have created is that of social standing and little else. While there may be scientific backing to support some of the theory, the media presents the problem with great sensationalism. Global warming and energy conservation has thus become a trend and losses some of its validity through this. The scare tactics used by the media to "promote awareness" are just that, a linguistic ploy to gain favor. "Awareness of this global threat reinforced public concern and environmental problems and thereby provided environmental activists, scientists, and policy makers with new momentum in their efforts to promote environmental protection." (McCright, 2000) This statement draws line to the potential benefits that would be received if the pro–global warming theorists were to draw enough attention to the issue. Driven by social empowerment and conviction to environmental protection, these activists misrepresent the actual threat and paint it as being much more

Examples Of Argumentative Essay

Argumentative essay presents a point of view about something and explains the reasons in order to win readers' agreement. It is built around a specific statement (or main premise) that is debatable within the field in which students are studying. In other words, at the center of an argumentative essay is a statement with which readers may disagree. The argumentative essay will need to support that statement in a manner that convinces the readers of its truth. It mainly strives to convince the reader of the writer's point of view, using reasonable and ethical methods .The process of argument composition varies from writer to writer, most writers follow these three stages: forming an argument, which can consist of discovering a motive for writing and identifying an audience to address, discovering and sharpening a position, and developing an appropriate style; supporting the argument; and reviewing the argument, which can include considering the image projected by argument, making substantial additions or deletions to a first draft, and adding an introduction and conclusion (Cheng and Chen 2009, Day,1997, Liu,2005,Mayberry,2009). ...show more content...

The Crucible: (Argument Essay) There's has been people who either have been manipulated and then there's people that have manipulated people. Being experienced with situation can make it easy for one to manipulate anyone. For example in "The Crucible" it demonstrates how one young child can manipulate everyone from children to an adult into believing her vengeance story. With the right situation experience one can manipulate with ease, but it shouldn't be easy for one to manipulate half of the people in the town. In the story "The Crucible" Abigail and her cousin are accused of being witches. IN act one it states "We did dance, uncle, and when you leaped out of the bush so suddenly, Betty was frightened and then she fainted. And there's the whole of it" (Abigail Page 1). They got caught dancing and doing things they were forbidden to do. Since that day the entire town thinks of then as witches. That being said Abigail tries to make things right. Additionally in act one Abigail states "let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word about a thing or I will came to you in the black of some terrible night" (Page 19). From there forward Abigail started to accuse Tituba. Tituba then confessed "He say Mr. Parris must be killed! And No! I don't hate that man. I don't want to kill that man". But he says, "You work for me, Tituba, and I make you free!"(Page 44).This confession and accession give's Abigail and Betty a chance to act Innocent and accuse random people as well. The accession keep coming and keep adding up. At the beginning of act one there were only 12 people accused, now there are 55 people who are going to be questioned. In act two Mary tells Elizabeth "I made a gift for you today, Goody Proctor. I had to sit long hours in a chair, and passed the time with sewing" (Page 53). Then when Mary hands the poppet she went to bed, and hale comes to talk to them. While hale was taking Cheever come to take Elizabeth. He then finds the poppet and ask questions about it.

Artificial Intelligence is a topic within the public media that has existed for decades, but is now a concern due to the reality of human advancement and innovation in the field of science and technology. Many people believe that computers will become self–aware or sentient and view humanity as a disposable resource and gain supremacy. Reasoning that research on the technology should halt and not become more advance. Whereas others believe they will help catapult research and the economy forward, supporting the operations and innovations the technology offers. The complicated and divided solutions to the debate aren't obvious, but there are more benefits to improving artificial intelligence than there is stopping it. Therefore, the negative effects people believe will occur can be resolved. There are different types of artificial intelligence that many institutes and companies believe in. However, they all share the same belief of a self–aware, conscious, human–like, computer system, the type of AI people fear. Disregarding that an AI is a computer much like a phone or laptop, one must consider that if something is sentient like a person or animal, should they be treated like one? And if not, is it discrimination or racism when it is treated like an item? Slavery treated people based on race or social status differently, the bottom being slaves.

Argumentative Essay On Climate Change

Climate change can be traced down to since the mid–1800s, when the industrial revolution first started taking place all around the world. Lives of human and animal species have been negatively affected since then, with events such as natural disasters, the melting of ice in polar regions, and change in weather and living conditions. Climate change in polar regions, in particular, has faced the most damage compared to any other region because of its location in regard to the sun. Climate change holds many different views and opinions about the effects, and even the existence itself, but evidence is clear and unmistakable in global ramifications and local impact in polar regions.

"...Climate change [is] the 'greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people'", skeptics like Senator Inhofe of Oklahoma like to say. Climate change is change in climate patterns due to an increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by certain human activity. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, data taken by satellite has shown that the Arctic cover has decreased by 30% over the past 30 years, and this change, which also include change in sea ice and permafrost, in artic weather and climate is caused by humans. Although numerous scientists have confirmed the legitimacy of climate change, there are different views on whether climate change is real or not. Government officials like Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma or Senator Marco Rubio of Florida have explicitly stated that they do not believe climate change is neither real, nor caused by humans (Tom McCarthy, 2014). On the other hand, mainstream media and other media outlets, such as The Independent and The Economist, have reported their findings of climate change and its legitimacy. The Independent (Conner, S. 2011) reported that records of these changes were taken by military submarines, land measurements, and satellite data to prove ice in polar regions are melting faster and faster. Satellites have tracked sea ice since the 1970s and by nuclear submarines since the Cold War, according to Peter Wadhams of Cambridge University and it was predicted that by September 2015, there would be no more sea ice. (Conner, S. 2011). Luckily, sea ice has not
