Argumentation

As human beings, we tend to get into arguments more times than not, whether it’s in class, at work, or at home with our peers, friends, and family. Our opinions, beliefs, and values often clash with others’, but though we argue on a regular basis, that doesn’t make us specialists when it comes to arguing effectively. When being effective in arguing, you must focus not only on your own thoughts but also on those who you wish to influence. Argumentation requires critical thinking, great preparation, and forethought on your part in order to be convincing in your argument. Consider yourself to be a lawyer in a courtroom; not only are you trying to give support to your claim as you present your case to the jury, but you must also anticipate and address the arguments given by the opposing lawyer.

When presenting an argument, there are a variety of ways to go about it. Some forms of argumentation include using facts, examples, referring to authorities, addressing the consequences, and addressing the opposition. A good blend of all of these can help create a comprehensive arguing style. Other persuasive skills include paying attention to your use of persuasive appeals (logos, pathos, and ethos), which should be balanced; an abundant use of one or another can harm an argument.

Most importantly, though, is the need for a clear argument. You will need to not only pick an arguable topic to discuss, but you will need to take a stand on the topic with particular stipulations in place; for example, if you were to argue the legalization of marijuana, would you support its legalization in its entirety, or would you support its legalization with age restrictions in place or medicinal applications being most important? Whatever your argument is, your overall claim will need to be clearly stated and supported throughout the essay. This will be your thesis. You will need to thoroughly illustrate your thesis by utilizing the various argumentative methods mentioned before through quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing. You must also address the concerns of the opposition in an attempt to discredit or diminish their arguments. Lastly, the essay will need to be properly structured—introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion with clear topic sentences (multiple claims supporting your thesis) and transitions throughout.

Explain how Matheny reaches his conclusion along with how you think the deer hunt should be evaluated on utilitarian grounds. Do you agree with Matheny’s conclusion in light of your evaluation? Defend your answer.

GMOR 150 – Contemporary Moral Issues

1) Explain how Kant’s “respect for persons” principle would apply to business practices. Can a business genuinely embody the ideals of a Kantian moral community, or are these ideals too demanding? Defend your answer drawing on the reading by Norman Bowie.

2) In his article, “Utilitarianism and Animals”, Gaverick Matheny concludes that we ought to make changes to our institutions and habits, “most immediately, that we become vegetarian or preferably vegan” (p.24). This viewpoint would be shared by the protestors at the Six Nations’ deer hunt described in the Globe and Mail newspaper article
available in the Blackboard learning materials on this subject. Explain how Matheny reaches his conclusion along with how you think the deer hunt should be evaluated on utilitarian grounds. Do you agree with Matheny’s conclusion in light of your evaluation? Defend your answer.

3) Is medical assistance in dying (voluntary euthanasia) a morally acceptable practice in at least some circumstances? Drawing on our course learning materials and discussion of the debate in the present, Canadian context, along with the readings by James Rachels and Thomas Sullivan, explain what you take to be the most persuasive arguments on both sides of this issue and defend a position of your own with respect to it.

(Hint: ‘most persuasive’ means you shouldn’t be summarizing every point raised in the assigned readings – be selective.)

What human rights or injustice issues do you observe in your community or workplace? What do you think your community or your State legislators should do about these issues?

At-risk populations experience

A population may be at risk as a result of social injustice in our society. Some groups are integrally at higher risk than others for certain undesirable outcomes. It is very important we recognize that these at-risk populations experience intersectionality by virtue of being members of different groups. These groups could be women, people of color, gay, lesbians, Asian Americans, immigrants, homeless, or Hispanic people receiving public assistance. These factors can increase the risk of social and economic injustices, powerlessness, and alienation.

Based on chapter 11, share your experience working with these groups from your community or neighborhood. Be sure to discuss the following questions in a written paper.

What human rights or injustice issues do you observe in your community or workplace?
What do you think your community or your State legislators should do about these issues?
What would be your role as a human services worker with these groups/communities?
