Edward R. Murrow Argumentative Analysis

288 Words2 Pages

In the contemporary smartphone, internet, and infinite content society, there are no figures that present themselves in the same way Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and Edward R. Murrow did in their respective time periods. The media market is far too diverse to support a system where there is only one source of news as was the case in the past. The internet provides a platform for ranges of voices that would not be heard in the age dominated by radio and television. This allows the general public the freedom of choice when it comes to selecting the type and political bent of journalism they want to consume and puts pressure on larger outlets to produce high quality journalism. However, it has allowed the phenomenon of fake news to

    115 Words  | 1 Pages

    Greg Olsen is entering his fifth season with the Carolina Panthers and become the most underrated tight end in the league in my opinion. He has no doubt become old reliable for quarterback Cam Newton to play breaks down or he just needs to find his rhythm. Olsen is coming off his best year as a pro with 84 receptions for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns that productivity resulted in his first Pro bowl selection. 2015 I predict much of the same especially with the loss of Kelvin Benjamin and the sudden inexperience at the wide receiver position. Thank you Chicago Bears for giving us one of the best tight ends in football much

    Lynn uses the rulings of appellate courts to disprove the myth among pit bull advocates, that pit bulls are unidentifiable. The author begins the article by addressing the case of Ohio v. Anderson, and that it was decided that a dog owner of ordinary intelligence can determine if they own a dog commonly known as a pit bull. Moreover she addresses that pit bull advocates state that pit bulls are unidentifiable and that there is no such thing as a pit bull, and why this argument is not only invalid but misleading and harmful to society. Lynn states that adoption agencies have tried to create different names to signify variating subgenres of the breed in hopes to get pit bulls adopted.

  • The Great Spirit Argumentative Analysis

    277 Words  | 2 Pages

    Driven by the belief that space was bequeathed to them, the Native Americans feel justified in defending their land against the growing encroachment of the white man as the American landscape unfolds. Their motive is the premise that a higher authority has granted them the right to the space, and that the Great Spirit has created the landscape exclusively for them. Fueled by the formation of conflict over land, the Great Ottawa Chief, Pontiac, in his speech at Detroit, seeks to persuade the tribes, including the Ottawa, Huron, and Pottawatomi to agree to resistance. Invoking the words of the Delaware prophet, Neolin, Pontiac recounts the vision which he believes justifies resistance. Neolin urges the tribes to sever all relations to the customs

  • Nixon's Argumentative Analysis

    “When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.” These words were uttered by former President Richard Nixon in an interview shortly after his impeachment. Regardless of the sociopolitical implications of such a statement, Nixon stated an important historical fact: that those in authority usually believe they are above the law. Throughout different periods of human history, leaders have often acted outside of their own laws for personal benefit. Whether one examines the Macedonian kingdom, the Roman Empire, or the various Islamic Caliphates, he will always find at least one leader who transgressed the laws of his nation in order to obtain a personal reward.

He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey.

    With the year-round pressure pertaining to college applications on high school seniors follows the impending decision of choosing an appropriate college major. Generally, the decision-making process involves prioritizing one field of interest over another, however, due to globalization and constant innovation in technology determining a college major has increasingly become the modern day equivalent of the metaphorical line between life and death.

Nevertheless, liberal arts education should be encouraged to be pursued at higher education institutions in USA because it helps

  • Mac Donald's Argument Analysis: Hard Data, Hollow Protests

    450 Words  | 2 Pages

    Hard Data, Hollow Protests I highly disagree with majority of Mac Donald’s argument. Firstly, her inclination that officers “have more to fear from black men than black men have to fear” from the officers does not sit well with me. Although blacks may make up the highest percentage of cop-killers, blacks are more likely to be shot than whites. I suggest that since both facts are true to an extent, social culture and biases have become the driving force for both instances to play out as they are: Black men are more likely to kill cops, cops are more likely to kill black men.
