electric cars for children for sale image
Elizabeth
I have looked at hundreds of topics for argument essays but I don't have strong opinions about any of them one way or the other. I tried writing on a couple of the topics I found but I couldn't think of anything to say. The assignment is due very soon. Please help.
@Mike: Thanks for the suggestion but you have just demonstrated why I think this assignment is stupid and pointless. An argument essay is just stating the obvious that most people already know. One silly little essay is neither long nor complex enough to solve any social problems. So what is the point? Am I supposed to regurgitate information that I've obtained from the work of others?
Answer
Here's a few ideas............
Argue whether or not senior citizens, at a certain age, should have to re-take their driving test every year or every 3 years, or whatever, due to dimentia or a rise in dimentia and altzheimers. You could easiy research accident statistics for different age groups as well as dimentia statistics.
Argue whether or not electric cars can really work. There are charging stations on the east coast and on the west coast, but not many in the rest of the United States. This means that people can't travel as far as they would with gasoline. (I really don't understand why though because can't they just plug them in somewhere else?) Anyway, this is a recent topic.
Argue that we should be drilling for oil in Alaska, as Sarah Palin has been fighting for.
Argue whether or not the Tea Party will last and stand up to the Republican and Democratic parties.
Argue whether it is really feasible to have solar power in houses due to the extremely high cost of equipment needed for solar power. How long would someone have to live in their house to pay off the equipment and actually start saving money over electric power.
Argue why cable and dish network prices keep on rising. It's ridiculous. They say it's so that they can put more satellites in space but how many do we need.
Argue about whether or not children should have an obligation to take care of their parents once they can't take care of themselves as they do in china and japan and some other countries. In the U.S. we stick them in a nursing home and some other places that don't take good care of them and are actually abusive to them because there isn't enough money to put them in a decent place.
Argue about why 1 in 5 kids go to bed hungry in the U.S. every night when there are people in this country who have so much money. How many millions does one person need? Michael Jordan just put his mansion up for sale and it has 18 bathrooms in it. I know he worked for it but still.......!
Argue about the influence and affect to education, cell phones have had on school kids and at what age should they have a cell phone.
*****Argue about why there are kids shooting in schools, killing teachers and other kids, a few times each year. This is happening more and more. Columbine high school was the first, I believe, and that was in 1999. There have been 31 school shootings since columbine and only 14 school shootings in the rest of the world. There's a lot of info on this subject. Do we need metal detectors in every school? Should they be in elementary schools? Middle schools? Only high schools? Is there another solution?

What is the argument strongest against capital punishment?
D Lin
What do you think is the strongest argument against capital punishment is?
What are two of the best reasons to not have capital punishment?
Answer
There are no good reason's to oppopse capital punishment.
Here are my reason's for the death penalty:
-it serves due justice (the punishment fits the crime), and serving due justice is the NO.1 job of a court of law
-it shows that we are tough on crime
-it gets bang for the taxpayers buck
-criminals given the DP have a 0% recidivism rate
-It holds people responcible for the horrible content of their character. This fulfills what MLKJ always wanted: judge not by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character. The characterof these criminals warrants death
-It holds the criminal responcible for his actions
-appeals and **** aside, it's cheaper then prison
-it decreases the prison population, which saves even more taxpayers money
-Because the death penalty is the punishment given by a neutrel judge, there is no vengance in it. Therefore, there is no moral objection to be had with the death penalty.
-The death penalty defends human rights by establishing a mentality that "we will not tolerate any violation of any innocent person's human right's
And here are my deconstruction of the reason's against it
-The Death Penalty is an act of vengeance.
Capital Punishment couldnât be an act of vengeance when the judge who sentences these monsters to death is a neutral decider. The criminal never did anything to the judge, and he never did anything to the citizens on the jury. The criminal is condemned by unbiased forces that hear the evidence and then come to a decision; therefore, there is no vengeance in the death penalty. The only vengeance that anybody has to take in regards to capital punishment is the victimâs family, and they do not get to decide what happens to the criminal.
-The Death Penalty is racially biased.
How quickly America forgets about this line from the pioneer of African-American rights, Martin Luther King Jr.: âI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.â Should the character of these criminals just be shoved out the door simply because they are in a minority? No way! Claiming that capital punishment is âracially biasedâ is judging a criminal by the color of their skin, not the content of their character. Luther would never have wanted that.
-The death penalty is economically biased.
Now this is just anti-American. We also might as well have communism so that way everyone has an âequal chance.â In America-a nation whose economy is free enterprise-people can afford better cars than others, better houses than others, better doctors than others, and in this case, better lawyers than others. Justice is not supposed to be for sale, but here is the equalizer with the court system: everyone that is charged with a crime is given a lawyer. Not everyone is given a car, a house, or a doctor, but everyone is given a lawyer. It doesnât matter that people like O.J Simpson can afford a top-of-the-line lawyer like Johnny Cochran. By that logic, it is also not fair that Magic Johnson can afford top-notch health care for his HIV infection while others canât, and that athletes like Chauncey Billups and Pudge Rodriguez get millions of dollars a year for playing a game while other professions-like doctors and teachers-donât get a quarter as much. Life is not always fair, and America is not a nation of Robin Hood economics and laws, end of story.
-The death penalty is unconstitutional according to the 8th Amendment
If that was the case, then the judges in previous generations wouldnât have condemned atrocious criminals to the electric chair, and they wouldnât have punished them through hangings. This generation is the most desensitized generation in American history. Previous generations would puke if they saw movies like Saw, The Decent, Cry Wolf, and Wolf Creek. On the other hand, this generation enjoys and sometimes even laughs at these slasher films; so for many of todayâs Americans and judges to claim that capital punishment is âcruel and unusualâ is just hypocritical.
Not only is the death penalty not unconstitutional; methods like lethal injection arenât harsh enough. If a man rapes a woman or molests little children, he should be castrated, put in a jail cell where he is allowed to writhe in pain for 24 hours, and finally executed via shotgun. If somebody stabs a blameless person to death, he should be guillotined. And if someone chokes a guiltless person to death, like Steven Grant did, he should be hung high to dry. The punishment should fit the crime, and there is nothing âcruel and unusualâ about it.
-Innocent victims may die through the death penalty, because for every seven people we put to death, one is exonerated.
This is bizarre:: The public says that it is perfectly fine to be promiscuous because thereâs âonly a 15 percent chance of contacting an STD,â even though STDâs can prematurely take your life; yet itâs not okay to rightfully punish evil monsters because of the âintolerably highâ error rate of 17 percent. That is hypocrisy at its worst; not to mention terribly immoral.
If Americans are so worried about âinnocent victimsâ dying, then convicted felons should not be punished at all. What if âinnocent victimsâ are sent to jail for life? One out of seven people is just not that much at all, and as DNA evidence becomes more available, the amount of not guilty people that are put on death row is only going to get smaller and smaller (it is actually now at a 95% success rate)
The death penalty is 100 percent justified and 100 percent morally right. It is the punishment that America must use on all heinous criminals, and reestablishing it as a national reprimand will greatly help restore the United States to what it once was until morals became relative: a nation that does what is ethical, not what is popular
