I think your analysis is solid. I agree that upon Peter’s death, Martin is the sole property owner. I like how you pointed out that the gesture to transfer Peter’s property to Andrew “contradicts the legal agreement of joint tenancy.” I think there is validity to your assertions that Otis is a trespasser and for Martin to start the eviction process. I also like the suggestion of pursuing a lease with Otis.
In conclusion, not only does she effectively contribute to the conversation regarding the decline of creativity and why it happens, but through her efficient usage of ethos, logos, pathos, and kairos, Manoush Zomorodi gives a thoroughly convincing presentation. Weaving these together creates a favorable argument for why taking time to set aside electronic devices boosts creativity. Overall, Zomorodi created a compelling argument that not only convinces her intended audience, but also those who may have initially disagreed with her.
Olaudah Equiano made this plea. His point in saying this was to call out the people who claimed that they were Christians for their treatment of others. He is saying that if they are truly Christians they should not be treating other people in this way since God said that we should treat others the way that we would personally want to be treated.
The show begins with one single newscaster John Ladarola, introducing the headline news event. He introduced the headline as bad news for Obamacare as Aetna insurance giant would be pulling out of many insurance exchanges that help fund and run Obamacare. He then moved on to question, by stating “but why exactly are they pulling out”. John Ladarola then ran through some financial numbers that Aetna claims is showing they are losing over 100 million a year. With this, Aetna is claiming that it is not financially feasible to continue operating in the same manner.
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
Cynthia B. Cohen 's argument against using harm-causing reproductive technologies is, she believes it would be wrong to forge ahead with these technologies despite the significant proportion of children born with serious illness and disorders. Cohen believes that the use of reproductive technologies produces serious deficits in a small number of children and asks whether, if this is so, it would be wrong to continue to use them.
Utilitarian’s argue that social productivity is raised when jobs are awarded on the basis of merit. They feel that race, sex, and religion are unrelated to job performance, and as such have nothing to do with merit. The allocation of jobs on the basis of race, sex, and religion is inefficient, and under Utilitarian principles, is morally wrong. On the other hand, the Kantian argument views discrimination as wrong because it treats people as a means to an end to the social obligation that the discrimination serves. These can be racist and sexist discrimination or reverse discrimination found in affirmative action.

On April 15th, 2013, while attending the Brisbane Writers Festival, American author and journalist, Lionel Shriver, delivered a speech discussing the effects cultural appropriation is having on author’s ability to write fiction. The speech needed to be carefully delivered considering the sensitivity of the topic. Shriver began by telling a story of how tequila and sombreros at a party became hurtful towards Mexican culture, even if the intention was not at all mockery, so, “...what does this have to do with writing fiction?” (Shriver). Well, fiction stories are those that describe imaginary events and people.
I have enjoyed reading your post, Johanna. I think that you have stated the position of Martin Luther very well. I could not have explained it better. I agree with you, Luther wanted to find his way to salvation. He could not comprehend the idea of buying salvation with indulgences.
Both Hochschild and Davies claim that the emotional labor of the workers is being exploited by employers to gain a profit, suggesting that the control of emotional labor influences productivity. Hochschild, using the flight attendant as an example, illustrates the negative effects of emotional labor on the job. The worker is told that her smile is her best asset (Hochschild 4). No longer is her smile a true representation of her feelings, it is part of the product being sold to the consumer (Hochschild 4). The smile equals good customer service, which in return grants good ratings and a profit for the company because of the increase in sales (Hochschild 6).
MITEI explains the process of hydrofracturing and discusses its significant environmental impact, its influence on economies, and the hazards posed towards human. The controversy, both proponents and detractors, surrounding hydrofracturing is introduced in this reference. Supporters have noted alternative fossil fuel development as an essential component to energy independence and a medium for economic recovery, while detractors have noted its subsequent effect on the environment and economy.
De George argues that the Ford engineers that were involved in the design of the Pinto had no moral obligation to blow the whistle. I will argue that his argument fails. I will begin by stating his argument. Then I will state some objections to his claims. I will then discuss objections that he might give and I will show why they fail.
This is because the consequences of the utilitarian mentality can’t be applied in all situations due to the dangerous outcomes it can lead to. Kantian ethics is concerned about practical reason and motives rather than the consequences of the action. In most cases, the utilitarian will base their actions on what the best result is for the greatest number of people, while Kant argues that a goodwill “is good only through its willing” (Kant, 2008, p. 106). In fact, Kant argues that even “with the greatest effort it should yet achieve nothing, and only the good will should remain…yet would it, like a jewel, still shine by its own light as something which has its full value in itself. Its usefulness or fruitlessness can neither augment nor diminish this value” (Kant, 2008, p. 106).
