Some believe that while we have the right to decide where our morals lie, we also have moral obligations and ties to our birthplace. We are to stand, patriotically, with our homeland even when told otherwise. Others believe that we have no such obligation. If we form morals that lead us away from our birthplace, this is of no consequence to the people or environment around us, nor is it of philosophical consequence because there is no patriotic morality, Continue reading...

Rhetoric in an argument consists of appeals to one’s logos, or logic, ethos, or ethics, and pathos, or emotions. When combined, and used correctly, these tools can create an impenetrable argument.

Rush Holt’s article concerning American’s learning foreign language engages all three facets of rhetoric in an attempt to convince readers of how important being bilingual, or trilingual is in today’s world. While he asserts logic accurately, earning himself a great deal of credibility, his article flails as he attempts to appeal Continue reading...

In life as in any game, there are winners and losers. What determines this distinction is usually the score, but there are other factors that tie into each label.

By comparison the losers then are the downtrodden, the dejected and almost forgotten that hang their heads and slink away. To some this might be an adequate description, Continue reading...
