Argumentative Essay: The Real World

307 Words2 Pages

As we go through our everyday lives, the evils of the world are easily visible to us. Between selfishness, burglary, and murder, it is reasonable to believe that humans are evil creatures. Although this is not proven, it is the favorable side to take. The proof for this side of the argument is plentiful. The fact that we have a government alone, shows that we don’t trust ourselves to make good decisions, and we need law to keep us in check. Meanwhile, this government that is supposed to keep us in check, is constantly at war with other countries, for simple reasons. These reasons include the want for more land, or just to impose power over another country. As a teenager, I have heard the phrase “The Real World” far too many times. I came to

    The truth is that through the nature of humanity, government is necessary to maintain control and peace. Societies are created by groups of people who find that living together and helping each other is better than attempting to live on their own. However, once a society gets very large with many different types of people it becomes necessary to implement some kind of government to suppress the inherent evil in man and to maintain peace and happiness. Humans need each other to succeed because it is more effective to work together than alone. This truth embraces all of human experiences because it is human nature to want to work together and this truth uses that part of humanity to justify the need for a government.

  • Argumentative Essay: Under The First Amendment

    883 Words  | 4 Pages

    Howard Zinn famously once said: “The First Amendment is whatever the cop on the beat says it is.” Zinn’s words may have best been exemplified in Ferguson, Missouri, in the aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting. The First Amendment states that no law shall be made “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble” (U.S. Constitution). Yet in Ferguson, protesters were confronted by police officers carrying military-grade equipment, and reporters were arrested while simply doing their job. Zinn appears to have been right; at least temporarily, the rights an American has under the First Amendment are whatever the cop on the beat says they are.

  • Argumentative Essay: The Problem Of Evil

    “The Problem of Evil” is simply the question, why does God allow evil to happen? God is omnipotent, omniscient, all-loving, and rational, therefore why does evil exist? There is either no God or he is not what we think he is, since evil could be prevented by him with no risk. Atheists and anti-theodicist see a problem with the idea that God could prevent evil. They believe that because God is so powerful and perfect, that he would not allow such immoral actions to be done.

    Is College Really Worth it? Many college graduates are currently unemployed, which has left many parents wondering, is college really worth it?

  • Evil In Theodore Dalrymple's The Frivolity Of Evil

    Theodore Dalrymple, in his article “The Frivolity of Evil,” argues the real causes of evil in our modern society. Even though he concentrates most of his example on the British society, they can be clearly related to any society in the world. In fact, he visited several countries around the world which are hunted by genocide, tyranny, persecution, and oppression, and he relates the evil in those countries to the evil seen and lived in our society, even behind closed doors. Certainly, human beings commit evil acts because they are allowed to do so. Dalrymple’s argument recalls the philosophizing of many other thinkers.

I imagine that the violence and chaos that is present today will eventually be defeated if we can conquer it with compassion and understanding. When we provide good work ethics along with focus, America will be built up the way it was intended to be. The thirty-third president of the United States, Harry S. Truman, stated, “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.”
