However, since ancient times, politicians, salesmen, and public figures, often resort to invalid argument or fallacies to persuade people to accept that what they express is true.

This work analyzes three arguments taken from different internet sources, to spot fallacies committed identifying the premises used and the conclusions they arrive to. This way, one can find out what the argument is trying to prove and why its ...

In terms of ethnicity, the shift from dominant minority to dominant majority is noticeable on an international level in recent times. A major principle of the pre-modern organization is domination by minority groups, usually an ethic minority, but in the modern era, the ethnicity of dominant majority is on the rise. The focus on popular sovereignty, democracy and the intermingling of politics and culture has made the principle of ethnic dominance more untenable. The latest example of this change is evident in Iraq; it is easy to spot the vulnerability of societies dominated by minority groups like Bahrain and ...

The United States Constitution provides for the impeachment of the President for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (Article II, Section 4) but nowhere defines them. It was based upon this arcane phrase that the House of Representatives voted by a majority to impeach (essentially, to indict) the seventeenth president of the United States, Andrew Johnson. It was now up to the United States Senate to garner the required two-thirds majority to convict him, the penalty for which was removal from office.
At the outset, it should be stated that Johnson was impeached because his views as a southern Democrat (although one ...

Data Analysis

TABLE 1

The above stance collaborates with the fact that Saudi women are well educated, ambitious and determined. In the last 40 years, the Saudi government has built an educational infrastructure that reduced illiteracy rates, especially in women.

The United States Senate (2011) uses the term filibustering to refer to the extended debates or any tactics done by Senators to block a measure by preventing a vote. This is an expression of the right to debate and can turn into an endless balderdash which can only be ended by a cloture, which can be invoked by a super-majority of three-fifths of Senatorial votes, not to halt the filibuster, to impose a time limit to possible dilatory motions.

Part I: Origin

The farthest filibustering can be traced in the American history was less than twenty years after its first Constitution was ratified. In 1806, US Vice ...

It considers the way that this act has influenced workplace policies in corporations, and the degree to which it has been effective. Following also considers the ways in which Title ...

Sexual harassment is a term, which is rather difficult to interpret, because people may have various perceptions of elements, which construct it. That is why it would be right to give several generally accepted explanations. Thus, for instance, in accordance with the European Commission Code of Practice, sexual harassment is "Unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, or other conduct based on sex affecting the dignity of women and men at work. This can include unwelcome physical, verbal or nonverbal conduct" (Gilbert, Guerrier, Guy, p.48).

The most lasting effect of the partition and subsequent creation of Pakistan was the devastation of the Indian people – Hindu, Muslim and Sikh - who were mere pawns in a cynical game of power politics. Division, the physical, psychological and spiritual breakup of the nascent Indian nation, meant the destruction of families, the ruin of businesses and an end to a way of life that the subcontinent’s countless villages had followed for centuries. The political alternative was decades of social upheaval and a politically unacceptable instability in South

Asia. The establishment of Pakistan may have been a desirable outcome from a purely political ...

Centuries after independence and adoption of civil rights in the United States, racial prejudice has yet to disappear completely.

The essay will present main arguments, according to which marijuana should be legalized in the US. These ...

Introduction

This paper is an endeavor to explain the rights and freedoms of people around the world, as they (such freedoms) cut across the social classes and prejudices. The arguments of the paper are based on the presumption that the concepts of freedom and equality are sometimes being suppressed in some parts of the world including the Middle East, Russia, and Canada (Charlton 18). Such inequalities in the application of freedoms and rights is what makes it hard for the Middle Eastern and Russian people, for instance, to extend greater tolerance and share the same social privileges. That is why ...
