Long-Brewed Skill Argument Analysis

155 Words1 Page

Others may stare into space and daydream, but I stare into space to have conversations… with myself, that is. I would not consider myself an introvert because I am relatively loud-spoken; however, there is no degree of focus and calmness that I cannot achieve when I talk to myself. I do not talk to myself loudly, of course, and I do not think to myself. I simply play out a two-person conversations in my head, that is how I think. This long-brewed skill is especially relevant when I am taking a multiple choice test because it is like getting a second opinion on an answer without an actual second opinion. Further, I don’t always use my skill to get an unfair advantage on a test, I also use it during important situations—when I get bored. Most

He believed that many past societies carried the burden of the existence of a class of landless poor.

    When I first started researching Fisher vs. Texas, I believed discrimination in college applications was very wrong and unlawful. I believed everyone should have a fair opportunity to go to the school of their choice. As I researched the issue more, it became apparent to me that diversity is truly important to our learning experiences while in college. In college, diversity has taught me many different viewpoints and has helped me understand different cultures. The learning aspect is important but I also believe that students that come from poorer communities and challenging childhoods should have an opportunity to attend top universities.

    As our book states, in the 1970s, the children that resided in orphanages had to live in extremely depraved conditions due to lack of funding. They had no interaction with adults, other children, or even the outside world. They almost never left their cots which they slept on. These cots were also surrounded by sheets so they never were able to see other humans or the outside. The children in these orphanages that were never adopted never recovered from the years of deprivation and therefore, developed permanent cognitive defects (Cacioppo & Freberg, 2013).

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

    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.
