190 Words1 Page

Another one of Robert Maine arguments was that Windshuttle claimed that the 20,000 deaths of the Aboriginals did not happened because it was not documented. Although Windshuttle argument of the Aboriginals being illiterate and not keeping any written records does not mean there history did not happen. ‘They responded to violence by the Aborigines towards white settlers cautiously and reluctantly, and their overriding concern was to prevent retaliatory violence by settlers and convicts from getting out of hand.’ That was one of Windshuttle argument that the only reason the white people killed Aboriginals was in retaliation, but all aboriginals on Tasmania were killed which is also know as a genocide.

  • Lynn's Argumentative Analysis

    259 Words  | 2 Pages

    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

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

    This was the first group of European settlers that were persecuted for their crimes. ‘It was the first time the colonial administration intervened to ensure Aboriginals and settlers involved in frontier violence were treated equally’. The Myall Creek massacre and the trial following the event had a great effect on the outside settlers and their dealing of the indigenous people throughout all sides of the colonial front. ‘The controversy surrounding the execution heightened racial tensions and hardened settlers’ attitudes towards the Aboriginal people’. This event did not change the settler’s attitude towards the violence committed all over the country.

  • A Brave New World Argumentative Analysis

    904 Words  | 4 Pages

    Over the past years, technological advancements have been expanding at an exponential rate which means that the world Aldous Huxley had envisioned in Brave New World will soon come. Neil Postman, a social critic, examines Huxley’s vision of the future and gave interesting points about how Huxley’s society is relevant to ours. Postman believed that Huxley feared that there won’t be a reason to ban a book, that the truth will be drowned in irrelevance, and that our desires will ruin us. While some of these assertions are true, opponents may argue that there’s always a reason to banning something. This is untrue because you don't necessarily need a reason to ban something that society doesn't need.

  • Sci-Fi Argumentative Analysis

    Many are coming to believe that science fiction is helping progress technology in real life. The reason this is true, I think, is because what sci-fi means to people has changed from being solely entertainment and into something more. It’s not just because the worlds that sci-fi depict deals with technology itself that’s aiding in this progression, but rather it’s because of how we now discuss and think about sci-fi that has resulted in this change. Discussion and how we often speak about science fiction is what’s causing real change and progress. Science fiction invites it’s viewers to discuss and form perspectives on its worlds and ideas, which is awesome, but I feel we may be thinking too hard on the idea that it’s the pieces themselves
