Mellissa's Argument Analysis

125 Words1 Page

Mellissa’s argument is that they should pull the plug on Mathew. Mellissa believes that Mathew’s body is what makes up Mathew and feels that since he can no longer function Mathew is gone for good. For example Mellissa states “Since his brain is gone, he is gone. I don't think we can help by keeping his body alive." Mellissa views Mathew’s dilemma in a scientific way. The medical charts point to the fact that he will never be functional again so in her mind Mathew is already gone. If Mellissa was the only person deciding Mathews treatment she would pull the plug because she believes in the physical facts, and they show that Mathew is gone and there is no hope of him coming

  • Aristotle's Nicomachean Argument Analysis

    313 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle argues that the human good is the soul’s activity that expresses virtue. Aristotle concludes this from an invalid argument. On the one hand I do agree that the activity expressing virtue is a requirement for the human good. But on the other hand, I insist that the human good is a state and not an action. By modifying this argument, I believe we can reach a new conclusion that will help us better understand what Aristotle meant by these concepts.

  • Chris Mccandless Callarman Argument Analysis

    701 Words  | 3 Pages

    Callarman’s argument is that Chris McCandless made a lot of mistakes because he was arrogant and that he had no business going into Alaska with his Romantic silliness and he says that he was just crazy. I disagree with Callarman’s argument because I think that Chris McCandless (Alexander Supertramp) was not arrogant I think that he just wanted to learn new things. I also disagree because I think that Chris did have a reason to go to Alaska or else he would not have done it even if it just to go because he likes nature, and I don’t think that he was crazy at the beginning but I agree that he did start to get crazy when he was stuck in the wild on the bus. I don’t think that Chris is arrogant I think that he is just a guy who wants to learn new things about nature and just the world in general.

Rule 4-324. If a defendant fails to move for a judgment of acquittal, or fails to renew his motion at the conclusion of his presentation of evidence, the motion is waived. Md. Rule 4-324(c).

    Quotation: “It was the modern word’s signature to etch economic dominance and political supremacy into a radical cultural design. It was also its signature to hide the social relations that were brewing supremacy and conflict behind a semblance of “race things.” (Silverblatt, 3) Argument: Here, Irene Silverblatt is arguing that, like all colonial powers, the Inquisition of Peru racialized certain groups, in this case the Native Americans. She argues that the foundation of colonial empire is racial segregation where the people who are conquered were treated as inferior human beings. They purposely created unequal groups where the Africans and their descendant were reserved for slavery and had to give up their way of life.

  • Callarman's Argument Analysis

    I chose Prompt #1 and personally I find Callarman 's argument very valid. I agree with him completely in the sense that it was not a good idea for McCandless to leave the safe environment that his parents created for him by paying for his college education making it easy for him to fall into a career and get his life started. It was very selfish of him to have his parents pay for his education then just throw it away like it was nothing. McCandless had a good idea of going out and finding himself but he should have executed it differently. I think that he wasn’t trying to be arrogant but at the beginning he was without realizing it.

He believed that many past societies carried the burden of the existence of a class of landless poor. Continually, other southern pro-slavery theorists felt that this class of landless poor was “inherently transient and easily manipulated, and as such often destabilized society as a whole” (Boundless). Thus, the greatest threat to democracy was seen as coming from “class warfare that destabilized a nation's economy, society and

    This is the quotation about Socrates explaining Glaucon and Adeimantus’ argument about what justice is. They believe that no one wants to be just as long as there are some rewards in return. However, when people unjustly act as much as they want, it only creates chaos that makes everyone suffer from other people’s unjust acts because doing unjust acts and suffering from unjust acts do not balance each other. In fact, doing unjust acts is worth much than suffering from unjust acts. Thus, people need to make contracts or agreements to balance its gap, and people obtain rewards from being just.
