Argumentative Persuasive Essay Topics

Writing an essay on the topic of "Argumentative Persuasive Essay Topics" can prove to be a
challenging yet intellectually stimulating task. The difficulty lies not only in the complexity of the
subject matter but also in the need to carefully craft a compelling argument that persuades and
convinces the reader. The process involves thorough research to gather relevant information, critical
analysis to form a strong stance, and effective communication skills to convey ideas persuasively.

One of the challenges is selecting a topic that is both interesting and debatable. The chosen subject
must allow for the exploration of different perspectives and the presentation of well-supported
arguments. The writer needs to navigate through a myriad of potential topics, considering the
relevance, depth, and uniqueness of each.

The research phase demands a meticulous approach. Sifting through various sources, evaluating their
credibility, and extracting pertinent information requires time and effort. Additionally, the writer
must critically analyze the gathered data to construct a coherent and logical argument. This involves
organizing thoughts, identifying key points, and establishing a clear structure for the essay.

Developing a persuasive argument requires a deep understanding of the topic and the ability to
anticipate counterarguments. Crafting a compelling thesis statement and supporting it with evidence
demands a high level of analytical and critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the writer must employ
effective rhetorical strategies to enhance the persuasiveness of the essay, such as appealing to
emotions, logic, and ethics.

The writing process itself can be challenging as well. Expressing complex ideas in a clear and concise
manner while maintaining a persuasive tone requires a command of language and style. Proper
citation of sources and adherence to formatting guidelines add another layer of complexity to the
task.

In conclusion, writing an essay on "Argumentative Persuasive Essay Topics" is a multifaceted


challenge that demands a combination of research, critical thinking, and effective communication
skills. It requires a thoughtful selection of a debatable topic, meticulous research, and the ability to
construct a persuasive argument. While the difficulty may be daunting, the reward lies in the
development of one's analytical and communicative abilities.

Michel Foucault And The Panopticon
I am actually very familiar with Michel Foucault, and most criminology students are
familiar with his idea (from Jeremy Bentham) of the panopticon and it will come up time
and again. The information I already knew of was all reestablished in reading through
this chapter, Panopticism , from Discipline and Punish. I knew that the panopticonwas the
idea of a tower in a prisonwhere a guard could look and see every prisoner. However,
the prisoners do not always know when there are guards are in the prison, so they will
alter their behaviour even if they believe that they are being watched. It all concerns
surveillance curving and controlling human behaviour. There are two key principles
with the panopticon: the visibility of power (the guard tower where everyone can see
that power exists), and unverifiable power (one is not sure when one is being watched).
Importantly, the Panopticon must not be understood as a dream building: it is the
diagram of a mechanism of power reduced to its ideal form (Foucault, 1975, p. 511).
Ultimately, in Foucault s panopticon, disciplinary power is executed through surveillance
and knowledge. Although I have decent foundational knowledge on the panopticon, I still
learned from this reading. I was particularly fascinated with the proposition that the
panopticon may have been inspired by Le Vaux s menagerie at Versailles. Foucault
explains, the Panopticon is a royal menagerie; the animal is replaced by man, individual
distribution by specific
Symbols In The Lord Of The Flies
Symbols have a huge meaning in the world such as survival and books, like in The
Lord Of The Flies, written by William Golding. The author of this book shows how
symbols can be found in human nature and society as well. Throughout the book,
symbols can be seen being used by the author in different ways to help connect the book
with the aspects of the outside world. In the beginning of the book, symbolsare shown by
representing the important needs, yet the symbols progressively begin to grow more
meaning later in the chapters. Some of the important objects and symbols at the
beginning of the book are the conch and the fire. In chapter 1 Ralph meets Piggy and
begin to realize they are stuck on an island. A stone. No a shell, (15), these quotes are
from when they first find the conch shell and Ralph blows in it the different people on
the island assume he is the leader of the group. Leadership and power are the... Show

Symbols such as the fire and the beast are found in today s society as well as in the
book. The fire to Ralph in the book is shown as a sign of safety and potentially rescue,
The fire s the most important thing. Without the fire we can t be rescued... (142). This
relates to society today because having a fire in a wilderness could be safe from other
people and if lost somewhere you could get rescued. The Beast in today s society is the
id and what we think is right from wrong as well as decision making. In the book the
boys mental capacity decreases throughout because there are no rules and they haven t
been living in a good environment for some time. Connections through symbols and
today s world are shown and present in many parts of the book, and the author does this
to show that symbols have a deeper meaning than what they just are by
Neil Degrasse Tyson s Life
Neil deGrasse Tyson
A young boy wanders through the Hayden Planetarium, gazing at every planet model
and space device he can spot. Little did the nine year old know his future had been
decided right then and there. He had no idea he would grow into one of the biggest
contemporary scientists of our day. This young boy was Neil deGrasse Tyson. He later
said, about this event, So strong was that imprint that I m certain that I had no choice in
the matter, that in fact, the universe called me.
In 1958 Manhattan gave birth to this remarkable man. He was raised in a middle class
family and attended The Bronx High School of Science, where he was editor in chief of
the Physical Science Journal and captain of the wrestling team. He also attended
astronomy classes at the Planetarium, where he was taught by Dr. Mark Chartrand III,
who he credited to have an enthusiastic teaching style mixed with humor that inspired
him to look at the universe in a new light. Another idol of his he met at the age of
seventeen Carl Sagan. The two spent one day together, and Tyson was deeply moved.
He later wrote, I already knew I wanted to become a scientist. But that afternoon, I
learned from Carl the kind of person I wanted to become. Since a very young age, I ve
wanted to be a scientist, but not just a scientist. I want to be an astrophysicist just like
Tyson. In many ways I aspire to be like him. Carl Sagan was his inspiration, and he is
mine.
Straight out of high school, Tyson went to

Identity, Authenticity and Survival Essay
Formative Writing I : Identity, Authenticity and Survival by Kandru Manibhushan Rao
Kwame Anthony Appiah s essay on Identity, Authenticity and Survival is based on
Charles Taylor s earlier work on recognition and identity. Though Taylor s references to
identity are mostly to collective identity, Appiah s aim is to draw a comparison or even
find a connection between individual identity and collective identity. Identity A collective
identity, explains Appiah, is the way an individual is recognized based on broad qualities
of categorization such as gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. Whereas
individual identity is born from personal characteristics such as wit, charm, grace,... Show

* Individual Dimension: This comprises of traits such as intelligence, charm, wit,
cupidity, etc. which are all socially important features. Authenticity Authenticity, as
described by authors such as Lionel Trilling and Charles Taylor is the idea of living
one s life by one s own reference and for one s own self without yearning for
recognition or acceptance from the collective or society. However, Appiah points out
that the search for authenticity is somewhat a paradoxical one. The search for
authenticity, as said, goes as much against the demands for a prescribed social life as it
does for the recognition of one s real self. There are two layer for recognition of
originality/authenticity: * How a person identifies or recognizes himself among other
people. * How a culture bearing group (minority) recognizes itself among a larger group.
This leg of Appiah s essay focuses extensively on Trilling s contradictory statements on
authenticity. Claiming one s authentic ethnicity, for example, for the need of expressing
one s originality in turn proves one s need for social acknowledgement for such
originality. Even counterconventionalism requires needs recognition from
conventionalist. The problem that arises here is, in order to be original, an individual has
to understand convention and being everything that it is not, thus resulting in the
individual being not authentic,
Stresstable Day In My Life
Today has been a long, exciting,stressful and adventurous day. Today was the day that I

Symbolism In Short Story
Symbolism is a type of literary device which is used by most authors in many different
literary genres, such as poems, short stories, and novels. It is the practice of using
symbols to convey a more profound thought and idea to the readers, which can be
displayed in various ways, such as objects, places, events, and facts. Symbols play a
significant role in written works, as it helps the readers to understand the intended
meanings and words that are associated with the events in the story. In the three short
stories selected, symbolism is used to reveal the underlying message of the story. In this
case, symbolism signifies social issues that are rampant in our society. The three short
stories, The Lesson , Indian Education , and... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Furthermore, there is a climactic scene in the story where Sylvia and Sugar interrupted a
ceremony in the Catholic Church. Their unethical behaviour shows their unfamiliarity in
a formal setting. Bambara demonstrates the significant gap between two different social
classes in her story that were evident in the style of dressing, wealth, language, behaviour,
and quality of education.

Moving onto the next short story, Alexie s Indian Education tackles social issues of
racial discrimination and stereotyping, which stems from his personal experiences. As
he was growing up, Victor faces discrimination from white people which made his
childhood full of sorrow, fear, and misery. Victor explains how Indians are often
perceived as outsiders and failures. Victor lives in a community where there is a gap
between people from different cultures. Alexie uses different symbols to emphasize
racial discrimination. Cutting one s hair is one of these symbols which expresses
Native Indian s culture and identity. Victor states She sent a letter home with me that
told my parents to either cut my 14 braids or keep me home from class (Alexie 321).
The ultimatum Victor received affirms the boundaries that were set in place. It s either
Victor succumbs to their will or defend his culture. Many Native Americans perceive
their hair as a memento of their identity and culture. Moreover, he was tormented by his
peers verbally and
