We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook. In Chapter 1, students learned why critical thinking matters, as well as how to identify claims, reasons and arguments.

We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook

We have covered two chapters from our Concise Guide to Critical Thinking textbook. In Chapter 1, students learned why critical thinking matters, as well as how to identify claims, reasons and arguments. In Chapter 2, students learned about obstacles to critical thinking. When we surrender to “self-centered thinking”; “group-centered thinking”; “resisting contrary evidence”; looking for confirming evidence” and “preferring available evidence” we are not doing justice to our argument. Also covered in Chapter 2, we learned about philosophical obstacles, such as “subjective relativism”; “social relativism” and “skepticism.” For all of these rules, you look to the opposite in order to write. You try your best not to fall into these traps, but to instead make legitimate connections and provide credible evidence. Be realistic about the opposition.

Critical thinking

To borrow from the mission statement for the nonprofit debate program Intelligence squared, you are going to write an essay that is “grounded by facts and informed by reasoned analysis.” Try not to fall into any old habits formed before you learned about how to critically evaluate.

Taking all that you have learned so far into consideration, you will select a question from the following list and write a three-page essay defending a statement pertaining to the issue. Pick whichever side you prefer, but make sure you are applying what you have learned.

I have tried to pick some contemporary controversial issues for you all to choose from. Apply what you have learned. Let the mix of ideas settle into a cohesive and well-connected piece of writing. The objective here is to present a three-page critical argument (plus a Works Cited page). It doesn’t matter which side you choose. You need to establish a central idea, come up with a solid thesis statement, and then construct a logical argument. The logical argument will depend heavily on the credibility of the support points you make. You need to incorporate at least two outside sources, to explain why each is credible and how it connects to and supports your claim. In short, you need to demonstrate the application of synthesis, which means a series of parts that come together to form a whole. In this case, your ideas will come together to prove your claim.

Hopefully there is at least one question listed below that will intrigue you. Again, choose only one.

1.      Are the media biased?

2.      Should a single corporation to own as many media outlets (newspapers, radio and TV stations, publishers, etc.) as it wants?

3.      Should the US government arrest and indefinitely imprison without trial any American citizen who is a suspect of terrorism?

4.      Should racial profiling  do security screening of airline passengers?

5.      Should Doctor-assisted suicide be legal?

6.      Should anti-vaxxers force to vaccinate their kids?

7.      Should trans-gendered people use the bathroom of their choice?

8.      Should people get fired for what they say on Social Media?

9.      Should athletes be allowed to kneel during the National Anthem?

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – What is it?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. What is it? When was it enacted? What agencies oversee its enforcement? Provide some examples of court cases that involved violations of this act.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act- What is it?

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. What is it?
When was it enact ed?
What agencies oversee its enforcement? Provide some examples of court cases that involved violations of this act.
What are some of the punishment(s) if someone is found guilt?

Firstly, The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law to limit the collection and use of personal information about children by the operators of Internet services and Web sites. Passed by the U.S. Congress in 1998, the law took effect in April 2000.

Secondly, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) administers and enforces it . COPPA is “the first U.S. privacy law for the Internet,” Melissa Campanelli wrote in Entrepreneur. “It was specifically for Internet marketers that operate Web sites visited by children under the age of 13 and collect personal information from those kids. Its purpose is to regulate that collection.”

Thirdly, The FTC conducted a survey of 212 Web sites in 1998 and found that 89 percent of them collected personal information from children.

Also, Of those that collected data from children, 46 percent did not disclose this fact or explain how the information was used.

Furthermore, The law addresses the potential problem by requiring Web sites and other online services directing toward children under the age of 13—as well as general audience sites that collect personal information from children—to obtain verifiable consent from the children’s parents.

Moreover, “Its stated purpose is to protect children from micro-targeting by advertisers and to minimize the potential for contact with dangerous individuals through chat rooms, e-mail, and bulletin boards by involving parents in kids’ online activities,” Monica Rogers explained in Crain’s Chicago Business.

Write ONE 25-point reflection paper on Worse than slavery. Link to book.

Reflect upon what was learn ed and provide thoughts and opinions on the information in the book.

A reflection paper is not a regurgitation of information present in the book.

Do not provide a review of the book’s content. Rather, provide your own thoughts, opinions, and unique insight from the information learned in the reading—in short, your reaction to the information.

More on Worse than slavery

In this sensitively told tale of suffering, brutality, and inhumanity, Worse Than Slavery is an epic history of race and punishment in the deepest South from emancipation to the civil rights era—and beyond.

Immortalized in blues songs and movies like Cool Hand Luke and The Defiant Ones, Mississippi’s infamous Parchman State Penitentiary was, in the pre-civil rights south, synonymous with cruelty. Now, noted historian David Oshinsky gives us the true story of the notorious prison. He draws on police records, prison documents, folklore, blues songs, and oral history. From the days of cotton-field chain gangs to the 1960s, when Parchman was used to break the wills of civil rights workers who journeyed south on Freedom Rides.

Authors are not always well serve by the publicity releases their publishers send out. The Free Press acclaims ” ‘Worse Than Slavery’ ” as ”a window into a shocking and neglected century of despair. A forgotten era in black history.” The story of despair may indeed be shocking to many readers, but it has been neither neglected by historians nor forgotten by African-Americans, whose music, art and folklore have preserved it in all its depressing but vital diversity.

Also, the limitations of the data you have drawn on, and what additional information or types of data you might have used to do a more in-depth analysis. A brief discussion of the roles and positions constructed for the elderly patient by the doctor and the patient’s daughter as evidenced in the transcript.

Furthermore the background to the interaction Doctor E: (professor), male in his sixties Patient: female, aged 75 Third-party: patient’s daughter. The patient has been describing pins and needles in her leg when she tries to walk.

The transcript begins about five minutes into the consultation, during which the daughter has said very little, while the doctor and patient discuss symptoms and medication another doctor has prescribed so far. Transcript Transcription conventions used in this extract are: (.) un-timed short pause (1.0) pause timed in seconds (quietly) informal commentary on style or context of following utterance(s) ? indicates question function.

Snowpiercer movie-write down how it makes you feel

While watching your movie, write down how it makes you feel. Take notes throughout. Pause and rewind if necessary. Write down places of key dialogue that struck you as moving or provoking. Write about if it confused you (and how). And if necessary, watch the movie again! And if you don’t like the movie, don’t forget that you can watch another option on the list! That’s why I included more than one movie.

Thirdly, Did it sustain your belief in the world and reality it created?

3. How would you describe the form, content, and style of your movie? Were any obvious techniques used (use of colours, camera, sound, patterns) to create the look and feel of your movie? What made the movie you watched unique?

Part II – What’s the Movie Really About? 

1. What was the explicit meaning of your movie?

Secondly, Meaning, what did it communicate directly?

Thirdly, This would be the surface level meaning of the film. (Note: this should be brief)

4. What message did the movie “preach”?

Secondly, How did the movie present ethical, moral, relational, social, or faith/trust issues?

Also, Did the movie align with your own views on religion and faith (negative or positive)? Who or what do the characters put the trust in? -Each other? No one? God? Nothing?

Discussion question:

Firstly, What movie did you watch? – should be obvious

Secondly, What did you like about your movie? What did you dislike? – Again, shouldn’t be too hard

Thirdly, How did the movie move you, caused you to think, confused or shocked you? – be honest

Lastly, What message did your movie “preached”? Does the movie promote values that confirm or contrast with religious ones? Explain.

Ancient Greek world history of Games and sports

This essay entails a paper on the The Ancient Greek world whivh reflects to history of Games and sports that started long time ago.

Secondly, write a minimum of 2 pages for each answer. Be sure to use (and directly reference) the chapter readings we have covered in class as a foundation for your arguments. Sport in the Ancient World. Baron Pierre de Coubertin asserted that the modern Olympic Games were a festival of peace and should be free of politics and government interference. He claimed this tradition dated back to the ancient world.

Also, a synopsis would be that ancient greek games grew out of religious festivals hence why Olympia and Delphi are important religious sites in their own right as well as important sporting sites (especially Delphi).

Eventually, Elites from all over the Hellenic world would gather at these religious festivals.

Thirdly, using examples and evidence, argue whether you agree or disagree with Coubertin’s position on sport in ancient society. Did sport and politics ever collide in the ancient Greek world? The ancient Games were clearly a demonstration of athletic excellence. But who were the athletes, how did they qualify, and what did they win (material and immaterial)? Answer this question using evidence and examples.

Lastly, it is impossible to deny that sport in the ancient world celebrated and reinforced the practice of religion. Based upon your research and writing, explain the connection between the ancient Olympic Games and ancient Greek religious rites and rituals. I will give whoever writes this paper the textbook in pdf form.

An explanation of a character from a novel film and thesis statement

Instructions

Welcome to the first essay assignment in the course! Most of the essay assignments in this course are around a thesis statement. Which you may remember from the lesson is a personal, debatable claim that should appear in a single statement at the end of your introduction paragraph (please underline them). Then, each of your body paragraphs is to serve as support in proving your thesis. Let’s get started! Topic and Structure: Character Evolution – Explain how a character from a novel, film, television show, or another medium of your choice evolves—either good or bad—from the beginning to the end of the story.

Your introduction will provide a brief synopsis of the story and then smoothly transition into the last sentence of your introduction. Next, you will develop at least three body paragraphs, each dedicated to one example (such as a scene) in your chosen medium that serves as support for your thesis claim.

Finally, you will compile a conclusion paragraph that synthesizes your findings. Creating the thesis statement: Is your argument focused and meaningful in a way that it also offers a clear-cut, but debatable point of view. Which a reader might either agree or disagree with? Avoid claims that are too obvious to the readers—offer them a new idea! Remember, a thesis also serves as a map for your essay. It providing a promise of subtopics you will discuss in your body paragraphs in the order in which they appear in your essay.

Thesis

Sample thesis statement: In The Midnight’s Shadow, Charles Bellingham begins as a lonely, self-loathing candle maker. However, after he meets Miss Charmaine, begins working for the king. Also, it takes an understudy, he transforms into a confident man who sees the townspeople and the kingdom as a friendly. Developing the body paragraphs: The way you present your supporting evidence is just as important as the evidence itself. When you create a body paragraph with the goal of supporting a claim in your thesis. You want to include a balance of research and/or examples with original material.

In other words, original material refers to discussions you develop that help explain the connection between your research. Examples and your thesis claim. You don’t want to assume that your research and/or examples are enough to prove your thesis. You want to inform your reader how and why cited material serves the purpose you intend.
