...2012 Critical Essay: Civil Disobedience Civil disobedience is the active refusal to comply with certain laws or demands of a government, such as paying fines or taxes. Although it is not necessarily on-violent, it has classically been attributed to nonviolent resistance. The etymological origin of the term is from Henry David Thoreau’s essay Resistance to Government, written in 1849, which was eventually renamed to Essay on Civil Disobedience. Since its republication in 1866, Thoreau’s essay has inspired many important activists over the course of history. Its messages have resonated within countless people unsatisfied or disgusted with the law of the land; one of the most prominent lessons it teaches is that an unjust government can only be corrected by the defiance of its people. As long as there is an imperfect government, there will be a need for civil disobedience. Citizens of nations from all over the globe still read and learn from Civil Disobedience because even in modern times a perfect government does not exist. In Civil Disobedience, Thoreau prompts the reader to take direct action against injustice. He argues that the government is a representative of corruption and injustice that, like a machine, fuels the enabling of its wrongdoings through enforcement of law. He states that an individual’s silent compliance with the law is essentially the same as cooperation with injustices that the lawmaker commits. In particular, he points out that paying taxes directly funds...

...Social Security Essay Outline Social Security Outline The current system has disproportionate burdens for current and future youth, if not changed immediately. 1. There are simple reasons as to why the system is projected to be unable to pay future benefits. A.) Social Security involves today’s workers to pay for retirements of today’s retirees. B.) When Social Security began there were 16 workers paying in for every retiree. C.) In the future there will be 1 or 2. D.) The benefit formula is increasing above inflation but it is not enough to cause the problem. E.) The ratio of working to retired is the problem. The debate isn’t whether we will go broke it is when. 2. If projections are correct, we will be dipping into a surplus in the Social Security taxes. A.) This is not fair and the “surplus” does not exist, the government borrows against our own money. B.) At this rate the system will be short on money by 2042. C.) This will make for higher taxes, and cuts in government spending. D.) Worse case scenario, benefits will be also be cut. I sequenced my paragraphs as such to show my audience the severity of Social Security benefit decline in the near future. Most people are not aware of how Social Security even works. I had chosen this topic because I do not agree with the idea, that there is no need for retirement plans because Social Security pays for itself. That thought process is false. I am here to disprove that claim and show my audience...

...For this essay, I had first failed to notice that flogging was used as a satirical example to seek out a cheap and quick alternative to our broken down system. I thought he actually wanted to bring back flogging so therefor did not think it would be a good idea to reintroduce it as a corporal punishment, but I did agree with Jacoby on his views towards prisons. After figuring this out, I had revised my whole essay and had ultimately agreed with Jacoby that not only do we have a broken down system, but we need to find a cheap and quick alternative. Before even reading his essay I knew that we had many problems with prisons today since it has been a hot topic for many years. I had even watched videos of President Obama speaking about how it was...

...Why Should Unhealthy Foods Be Taxed Around The World? An Exploratory Essay Nicholas Jackson Goldey - Beacom College Why Should Unhealthy Foods Be Taxed Around The World? An Exploratory Essay I normally eat French toast sticks with bacon or waffles with bacon for breakfast in the morning because it is the most convenient for me - it comes in a pre-cooked package that I could throw in the microwave and be ready in the minutes – and it tastes good to me. Even though it may taste good to me and will settle for a breakfast meal for my stomach, I know it isn’t good for my body in the long run. However, after reading some of the writings of food activist Gary Sacks, I began to think more about what I should be eating healthy foods because there will begin to be taxes on unhealthy foods that are made. A prime example is in his article, “Traffic-Light' Nutrition Labeling and 'Junk-Food' Tax: a Modeled Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness for Obesity Prevention,” published in Nature Publishing Group, Sacks states junk-food' tax, price elasticity’s were used to estimate a change in energy intake in response to a 10% price increase in seven food categories. Sacks advice about the junk foods, my breakfast foods, starting to get taxed 10% makes me start thinking about what I should be eating. The waffles/French toast sticks with bacon have been pre-cooked and made so that the packaging can be heated up in a microwave oven, but on the same note, the food items look to be similar to...

...Primer on Writing an Analytical Essay: If you are at all uncertain how to structure an essay read the following material carefully. Introductory Paragraph: Your first paragraph is the most important part of your essay and should consist of 3 parts: a hook, background, and your thesis: The hook: Grab my attention. Make your first sentence interesting and meaningful Example: If Bill Gates spent $50,000 a minute for the rest of his life, he would still die a wealthy man if he lived for 40 more years. Background: Explain the general issue that you are writing about and the controversy surrounding are assessing, including the title and author’s full name. Example: Many economists lament the growing division of wealth that has marked America in the last two decades. While some this is the basis for America’s economic strength, others feel reversing this trend should be a top priority. In fact, Sue Ackerman in her article “The Rich and the Rest”, suggests that there should be a ten-times rule, whereby the top wage earners could earn no more than tens times the minimum wage. Thesis Statement: This tells me what your position on the topic is as well as how you are going to support it. Example: Her suggestion is ridiculous and should be opposed for three reasons. First of all, it is arbitrary – why should it be 10 times the wealth of the poor and not 8 or 15. Secondly, it is un-American by going against basic...
