  • Ronald Sandler's 'Counterargument'

    376 Words  | 2 Pages

    I fully support that argument that our health can be very much out of our control and that takes away some liberty, therefore, having health care as a way of controlling the liberty is especially beneficial to the society. However, there are many other fields of our lives that are impacted by powers we cannot control, such as the place we were born, political situation in the country, economical situation, socioeconomic status, natural disasters, etc., which makes is unclear to me why health care stands out from the point of view of the Commission. Unfortunately, the essay does not give a better explanation of it, neither does the Commission, only stating that: “Although some people might argue that the same is true with respect to socioeconomic status, and the purchasing power it enables, the Commission believed that the case was stronger with respect to health.” ( P.4) I would like to see if there was a better explanation of this part of the argument, moreover, it is possible it would make the Ronald Sandler’s counterargument, which I present bellow, weaker.

However, I noticed that I was doing the same thing they all were - backing off when the person I was guarding got the ball. So, the next time I had the opportunity, I got up into my man and did exactly what I was trying to get my teammates to do. The next play, Jordan did the same thing, and we got a steal.

    The world campion cyclist meets Blood doping and drug cheating. 'The Armstrong Lie ' is a documentary revealing Lance Armstrong to the world that we did in fact use drugs to improve his abilities. Throughout the documentary the film makers strongly focused on him denying and then confessing that drugs were involved but if that was the only thing, the shadow of Lance would be much darker. The stories of him fighting cancer and only got caught because he came back to the sport he loves made the representation of him pitiful. Also watering down the story by not including the opponents he versed against, if this happened the documentary would add a cutting end, making thoughts about him different.

    Just 2 minutes left the sun half way set, the crowd cheering and most of all the scouts not blinking paying attention to every detail, play and decision each one of us makes, I see the ball come off the rim and the other team grab the rebound and their other play already across the court just past half court I knew what I had to do. With no thought or anything I break out running across the court chasing their player knowing he was going for a fast break lay-up I knew I could catch there was no doubt about it but the question was would I block the ball or not I can feel the eyes staring at us curiously wonder what will happen. Just like I predicted I see his hand turn upside down getting ready to lay it up I take 2 more steps and leap as hard as I can towards the ball staring at the ball and nothing else all I cared about was saving my team from those 2 points and looking good on the court and on that stats sheets, that was a decision I would later pay for. I did what I had practice and done hundreds of times before at the park I swat my hand towards the ball as hard as I can, I hear when my hand hits it and it bounces off the backboard not thinking about my landing instead of preparing for the fall I prepare myself to start running back across court but that wouldn’t happen when I landed I felt a pop in my knee’s
