$10.00 Final Project CRT205

Q:
Final Project for CRT205.

I just began this class today and ends nov 2, 2008.
I want to be ahead of the class so to speak. Someone have the final project?

2. Final Project: Comprehensive Argument Analysis
The Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center database at the University Library provides a
wealth of arguments to which you can apply your critical thinking skills. Find this database by
logging into to the Library and selecting the Article Databases—Specialized link. From the
results page, scroll down to select the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center link.
· Resources: Appendix A, Appendix D, and the University Library
· Due Date: Day 7 [Individual forum]
· Choose two topics from the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center that interest you and
locate a set of materials from the database for each topic. If you choose school violence
as one of your topics, for example, you might find a magazine article that argues that
violence in the media causes school violence and a Web site that persuasively argues
that violence in the media is not responsible for school violence.
· Conduct a similar search for your second topic. When finished, you should have two
sources per topic. Note: You may use sources from any combination of the Viewpoints,
Magazines, Academic Journals, News (use sources marked Editorial and Column), and
Web sites database sections.
· Use the form in Appendix D to critically analyze your four sources. Fill out one form for
each source.

determined this.
o State one argument made by the author.

o Is the author’s argument valid or invalid, sound or unsound, strong or weak? Explain
how you determined this.

Preview: ... e the length of time is not presented.<br><br>The prohibition of this drug is quite expensive to maintain is vague because a value is not given for the expense amount.<br><br>Its current popularity is much greater than at its coming out in the Sixties is vague. How much more popular?<br><br>Law enforcement officials are spending a great deal of taxpayers' money is vague because there is no dollar amount in this sentence.<br><br>They are making more arrests, more raids, and more seizures than ever before is also vague, as no numbers are provided.<br><br>Courtrooms are backed up for months is vague because it could mean 2 months or fifty months.<br><br><br>4 <br>Do you find the source credible? Explain your reasoning. <br>Because the author presents a lot of vague data, I find this source less credible than the first. He is also an engineer, not a doctor or Congressman.<br><br><br>5 <br>Identify and name any rhetorical devices used by the author. If none exist, explain how you determined this. <br>As a Mexican "devil weed" presents a dysphemism for the marijuana plant.<br><br>Smoking the plant would turn people into axe wielding murderers." Is a rhetorical explanation.<br><br>Gets high is a rhetorical definition of the effects of smoking marijuana.<br><br>Todays crusade against the drug is a rhetorical definition for the War on Drugs.<br><br><br><br>6 <br>Identify and name any fallacies used by the author. If none exist, explain how you determined this. <br>Cannabis has been determined to be very beneficial to terminally ill patients in easing their pain presents an argument from pity, but this is the only fallacy that I can find the author has made.<br><br><br>7 <br>State one argument made by the author. <br>No additives would be needed, since smokers really dont need any.<br><br><br>8 <br>Identify the premises and conclusion of the argument. <br>Premise - Since smokers dont need any (taste or freshness additives)<br><br>Conclusion No additives would be needed.<br><br><br>9 <br>Is the authors argument valid or invalid, sound or unsound, strong or weak? Explain how you determined this. <br>The authors argument is valid because the premise being true makes the conclusion true.<br><br>10 <br>Does the author use moral reasoning? If not, explain how you determined this. <br>This author uses the utilitarian theory in his moral reasoning. He believes the sum of the happiness created and the amount of sadness lessened by legalization is far greater than the sum of the unhappiness that would be created through legalization.<br><br><br><br>Source 3 Title and Citation: Demr, Thomas A, and Steve Walsh.

Preview: ... pal issue presented by the source. The principal issue presented by this source:<br>Should alcoholism be treated as a disease rather than a social problem?<br><br><br>2 <br>Identify any examples of bias presented by the author. If none exist, explain how you determined this. I did not identify any type of bias in this article. The author used inclusive language and maintained a respectful tone.<br><br><br>3 <br>Identify any areas that are vague or ambiguous. If none exist, explain how you determined this. I was unable to identify statements in this article that were vague or ambiguous. The author used specific details in his writing. The sentences were clear and concise and did not suffer from semantic, syntactic, or grouping ambiguity. <br><br><br><br>4 <br>Do you find the source credible? Explain your reasoning. Although the author is an interested party, I find him to be a credible source because he is a researcher with a degree of expertise in this area. Information about the author was provided, it stated: he is a researcher for Ensuring Solutions to Alcohol Problems, a research-based organization that helps increase access to alcohol treatment, at the George Washington University Medical Center. This author is also credible because he presented information on both sides of the issue.<br><br><br>5 <br>Identify and name any rhetorical devices used by the author. If none exist, explain how you determined this. <br>Research demonstrates that treatment can save lives, restore families, reduce health care costs, increase productivity in the workplace and make our communities safer. <br>The author made this statement but did not give any details of the research. The rhetorical devise used by this author is proof surrogate. <br><br>6 <br>Identify and name any fallacies used by the author. If none exist, explain how you determined this. <br>After carefully reviewing the article, I have determined the author did not use any fallacies. I made this determination because the authors reasoning is clear, accurate, and is supported by an adequate amount of information. <br><br>7 <br>State one argument made by the author. <br>The main argument made by this author:<br> Simply defined, a chronic disease is one that continues over a long time, progresses consistently or intermittently, and often can be managed. The causes of chronic disease can be complex and include hereditary factors. A patient may not experience many symptoms until the disease has advanced. A chronic disease doesn't always follow a predictable course. Some patients may relapse more frequently than others. Treatment may require that patients change their behavior. In each of these respects, alcoholism strongly resembles such chronic diseases as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure among adults. Therefore, alcoholism should not be socially stigmatized but treated as a health issue with regard to treatment plans and insurance coverage.<br><br><br>8 <br>Identify the premises and conclusion of the argument. Premise: alcoholism strongly resembles such chronic diseases as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure among adults<br>Conclusion: alcoholism should not be socially stigmatized but treated as a health issue with regard to treatment plans and insurance coverage.<br><br>9 <br>Is the authors argument valid or invalid, sound or unsound, strong or weak? Explain how you determined this. <br>This is a sound valid deductive argument because the information the author provides regarding the premise proves the conclusion is true.<br><br>10 <br>Does the author use moral reasoning? If not, explain how you determined this. Moral reasoning is not u ...

Preview: ... cluding and stereotypes, rhetorical definitions, and rhetorical comparisons.<br><br>Rhetorical Devices: Examples and Commentary<br>Stereotype<br> <br>1. According to Graff (1996), anti-marriage conservatives have also been disingenuous in their arguments, which basically come down to crying "tradition!" like a Tevye chorus. <br><br> This is a massive oversimplification on the conservatives view on the same-sex marriage, and they are being stereotyped. <br><br>Rhetorical Definition/Rhetorical Comparison<br><br>2. Marriage is an institution that towers on our social horizon, defining how we think about one another, formalizing contact with our families, neighborhoods, employers, insurers, hospitals, governments. Allowing two people of the same sex to marry shifts that institution's message. (Graff, 1996)<br> In this example of a rhetorical definition, Graff examines and defines the traditional view of marriage and how it is viewed by her as marriage relates to society. <br> In the last sentence, Graff also compares her traditional view of marriage to a distorted homosexual view of marriage. This perspective is contrasted with how same-sex marriages would somehow be viewed as undermining his traditional view of marriage in contemporary society.<br><br>Identif ...
