“The Relationship Between Language and Thinking

/in /by

Consider the following quote by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who believed that thought without language was impossible.

“The limits of my language are the limits of my life.”

For more information on Wittgenstein and his analysis on the importance of language, watch the video https://youtu.be/VgW_PFl-Xs4
Next, examine whether it is possible to think without using language. If you believe it is possible, describe the primary ways in which a person might enact so-called “languageless” thinking. If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with languageless thinking.

Argument Construction

/in /by

You must now construct your own argument. Follow the 5 steps provided presented in this lesson. You may choose your own issue, but if you’re having trouble choosing one, here are a few options:

Should college campuses ban alcohol on campus?
Should U.S. citizens be eating meat?
Should the driving age be raised to 21?
After you choose an issue, list at least ten different premises that relate to the issue.

Next, eliminate some weak premises. Choose two premises you eliminated and explain why you eliminated them. Your explanation should be a few sentences long.

Then construct three different arguments that pertain to the issue, each a paragraph long. It will be easy to come up with one argument for and one against the issue of your choice, but you must also come up with a third argument.

Finally, choose the argument you think represents the best critical thinking and give a paragraph explanation of why you chose it. At this point you will be done. You don’t need to worry about stylizing your argument or giving it all the flesh it would have once in an essay or speech

Essay 3: Rogerian or Proposal Argument; either with Annotated Works Cited — Ch

Essay 3: Rogerian or Proposal Argument; either with Annotated Works Cited —
Choose either your Reader Response 5, Reader Response 6, Essay 1, OR Essay 2 for your Essay 3 topic: Note: Either one can be a Rogerian or Proposal Argument topic.
BIG TIP: If you wrote a great, 1500-word Rogerian Argument for Essay 2 and want to re-use it for Essay 3, then skip to Step 3.
Next, follow the “How to Write a Rogerian Argument” guide or “How to Write a Proposal Argument” guide.
Post your topic outline and tiny rough draft in the Discussion Board.
NOTE: No word count required for tiny rough draft.
Finish your 1500-word Final Draft, with four college-level sources used in your essay.
Then follow the last page of “How to Write a Proposal Argument” on how to annotate the four college-level sources in your Works Cited list so that your Annotated Works Cited pages will be at least 1100 words long (or however long they need to be so that your TOTAL word count for paragraphs and annotated Works Cited is at least 2600 words long)
See the 2600-word student models to see if you’re on the right track: Antonio Eudabe’s Proposal Argument with Annotated Works Cited or Victoria Rodriguez’s Rogerian Argument with Annotated Works Cited; revise your draft.
Finally, submit your 2600-word “Final Draft, plus Annotated Works Cited” document file (MAKE SURE IT IS ONE FILE!) in Essays
I have uploaded my Essay 2 and below is how to Transform it into Rogerian Argument and then write the Cited work.
First make an outline it will help
Since you wrote a Rebuttal essay (and a lengthy one), I’d advise that you look at the Rogerian essay format:
I. My Opposition’s REASONS + My Opposition’s EVIDENCE for Their Opinion
II. My REASONS + My Evidence for My Claim
III. Benefits My Claim Gives to My Opposition
IV. Possible Compromise if My Opposition Is Still Reluctant to Change Their Mind
Start with an Outline, and then a Tiny Rough Draft. Then COPY AND PASTE from your Essay 2 paragraphs where they BEST FIT the new Rogerian structure.
I. What you’ll find is that all of your “Opposition” paragraphs will be in the first part of your Essay 3
II. Then all of your “Rebuttal” paragraphs will be in another section of your Essay 3.
III. The “Rebuttal” info might even spill over into the “Benefits” section of the Essay 3 — that’s fine.
IV. The new-ish material would be the “Compromise” — since you didn’t have to write about that for a Rebuttal.
In other words — when in doubt, OUTLINE IT OUT!

Nakamura proposes that individuals want to express key aspects of their identities, such as race, on new media platforms, while the rise of visual cues online in the form of avatars, photographs, and video has made it much more difficult to separate an individual’s appearance from his or her online identity. We have also read how members of specific ethnic, social, or cultural groups develop group norms within their networks in order to create insider status, such as the so-called “Black Twitter,” which uses a form of African American Vernacular English to create a network of individuals who share similar demographic backgrounds. Similar communities and networks link together individuals by race, gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnic or national origin or other demographic categories. Baym and Nakamura both note that this outcome is very different from the colorblind, egalitarian new media early proponents envisioned.
Identify one potential positive benefit and one potential negative drawback of individuals belonging to networks based on offline demographic categories such as race. Please explain your choices.
Are networks based on a demographic grouping such as race empowering, or do they risk isolating that demographic? Please explain in detail.
How can online environments encourage greater communication and interaction among people from different demographic backgrounds?
