how i can move society beyond its racial history

To move society beyond its racial history will be a hard goal to achieve. Every since the United States was established, discrimination has always been present. African Americans were slaves before the Civil War and because they were slaves, they were not treated very well. Although after the Civil War, African Americans were given freedom as citizens but they are still discriminated by Americans today. In order to move on past this, we need to learn from our mistakes. Our mistake then was to have slaves and to discriminate against them. Now we must change this idea so that everyone will be equal no matter what race they are. We need to learn to accept the fact that no matter what race, we are all Americans and we should all be treated the same.

Many attempts were made to expand the government’s funding for stem cell research, but the death of former President Ronald Reagan sparked a rallying support in stem cell research for the treatment of Alzheimer disease. Congress has passed legislations in support of stem cell research only to be vetoed by President George Bush due to religious conflicts. The Democratic and Republic party beliefs about stem cell research is clearly seen in the 2008 elections. “As in past election years, the 2008 Democratic platform supports funding this research. The 2008 Republic platform continues to reflect the party’s religious based opposition to embryonic stem cell research (Newbatch).” President George Bush decided to ban funding for embryonic stem cell research; however, his decision “has no effect on private stem cell research (stem cell).” New York State Stem Cell Science organization states that stem cell research is able to continue researching through private funding such as the National Institutes of Health which donated $39.5 million. Even substantial foundations have given their support to stem cell research.

I woke up with a start. My heart was beating so loudly I thought it would pop out of my chest. I could hear the thump thump of my heart in my ear. My mind was spinning; I could not remember what just happened. Everything is a blur. What happened? Why am I so jumpy all of a sudden? I looked around my room, trying to calm down and I noticed that it was not my room. I was in an open area with nothing there. It was just… empty. All of a sudden, a wave of cold washed over me… I do not know where I am or how I even got here. I’m…lost…

One of the misconceptions that are related to genetically engineered food would be the idea that there is testing for the effects of genetically engineered food and its impacts. There is only testing to make sure that the crops will grow, there is no testing to make sure that the genetically engineered food would not harm the environment. Another misconception is all the effects of genetically engineered food are known. The only know effects of genetically engineered food are the short term effects. The long term effects are not known because there is too little testing done for long term effects. The most recent studies of genetically engineered food also point more towards the pros of genetically engineered food instead of the cons. One common misconception of genetically engineered food is that the use of pesticides is reduced. Research has actually shown that pesticide usage had stayed the same, or even risen in some cases.

criteria for selecting the best film of the 21st century

The criteria for selecting the best film of the 21st century should include the ideas of cuteness, funniness and it should have a moral that everyone can understand and connect to. One example would be the “Incredibles”. The Incredibles is a movie made for both kids and adults so it is easy for any age to understand. There is cuteness and funniness to it so that a family can watch it together. The moral is also easy enough for the kids to understand and it also reminds the adults of something they might have forgotten along the way. It is okay to be true to yourself. If others cannot appreciate you for what you are, then they are not really seeing you as a friend.

Rewrite Blog to Represent your Best Writing and Argumentation
In James Forman’s “Arrested Development” he argues that racial profiling does not help the government in any way. James Forman uses both logic and fallacies to convince the audience. Logic is the use of reasoning and argumentation to convince the audience of an idea. Racial profiling is aimed primarily at African Americans. They are more likely to be pulled over by the police and they are also not treated nicely. If African Americans are not treated nicely by the police, they are not likely to help the police if a crime was committed and that would not be of benefit to the government. How can you help someone who was never nice to you? Racial profiling is aimed at African Americans because of the fallacy more commonly known as stereotyping or hasty generalization. Fallacy is when the writer is using a deceptive, misleading, false notation or belief. The audience has already believed the fallacy that African Americans are more likely to carry drugs or drive around in a stolen car that they will believe that it is the right idea to pull over African Americans. The hasty generalizations lead from one idea to another that it kept piling up until it got to the point that racial profiling was aimed at African Americans. If people keep on believing the hasty generalizations of African Americans and keep on disregarding the logic behind disbanding the racial profiling, the government will never benefit.

blog project: ways to rebut evidence.pdf

Some common ways to rebut evidence could be to deny the facticity of the data, cite counterexamples or counter testimony, or cast doubt on the representativeness or sufficiency of examples. To deny the facticity of the data is to question the data given by your opposition. A group of researchers may say that A plus B would give C, but another group may say that it is not true. If there is room for doubt, it is possible to deny the facticity of the data. Citing counterexamples or counter testimony also helps to prove the other side of the argument. This lets the audience consider both sides of the argument. If you can cast doubt on the representativeness or sufficiency of an example, the audience is less likely to believe in the example. The example is not a good representation of the data, so why should the audience believe something that is not true?
