Police brutality & fallacies

1." If the police told me to do something, I'd just do it that's why I'd still be alive." Whether or not you did what police officers told you to do or not, if you are white,  your more than likely do not have to fear for your life when interacting with the police.( Argument to to antiquity or tradition) I picked this one because is true it's like a tradition or something cops often do they act more violent when they see Hispanics or African Americans.

2." Let the police do their job." The job of the police is to serve and protect the people of the public- which include African American and other minorities. (Argument or appeal to the public) I picked this one  because is obvious that the job of the police is to protect everyone no matter what is their race or ethnicity. I'm sure most of the people will agree that the police has the duty to protect everyone.

3." Not all police are bad." It can also be argued that not all white people supported slavery or Jim Crow- many didn't. (Argument or appeal to numbers) A lot of people can argue that not all the cops are bad . However there are still cops who do mistakes in their job. Not because a lot of people argue that" not all police are bad" it doesn't mean there are not bad police out there.

4. "If you don't like the police, don't call them when you need help." In many black and minority communities, call for help from the police are often left unanswered. (Argument or appeal to pity) This matches good because if the police doesn't help minorities how can they expect a good relationship with them?

5. "Until we get both sides of the story we don,t know what really happened" One side of the story will forever be absent from the conversation surrounding police brutality: the side of the story from the victims who were murder. (Argument to logic) I think is true if you don't have all the information of what happened. The victim dies which means you won't have his version of what happened. Is logical to believe that that in order to know what happened you also need the version of the victim (person who was murder) however that's impossible.

Fallacies

1. Argumentum ad hominem: I believe that in an argument you don't have to attack the person i believe you have to attack their ideas.

2. Argumentum ad ignorantiam: Not because something hasn't been proven false means that is true/

3. Argumentum ad nauseam: I agree that repetition is good in an argument i would do that in an argument.

4. Argumentum ad numerum: I don't agree because even if a lot of people support something that doesn't mean they are right. We are humans and we do mistake not because a majority believes in something means they are right.

5. Non sequitur: I agree  with this one you need to have convincing premises in order to have a good conclusion.

Argument

Politicians and some other american citizens complain that immigrants don't bring anything positive to this country. Is that true? First of all lets remember that America was a nation made by immigrants: British, Irish, Germans and many others from different nationalities. So why Americans can't accept immigrants today? That's definitely a great question.

There's a lot of arguments that state that immigrants only bring problems to America. Does that mean that immigrants are responsible for all the problems in this country? Some people argue that immigrants take jobs away from american citizens. Almost all immigrants work in jobs that have the worst conditions, some work in the fields, other in factories or some as construction workers.I'm sure that if someone has the opportunity to go and see for example the workers in the fields you won't find an american there. If you go you will only see Hispanic immigrants who come to work hard to provide for their families. Now lets ask our selves do Americans do that kind of jobs? The answer is no, so why do people argue they take jobs away if they do the jobs that nobody else wants to do. The problem is that something called racism lives and makes people have this attitude and bad feelings towards immigrants.

Immigrants just come to help America, they come with the hope of finding a better live that they can't have in their countries.The immigrants who founded America came with the same hope. Think in California for example their main source of income is agriculture. What would happen if immigrants don't go to work for a day, a week, a month, or a year?That would make the economy go down.They come to help America. Our ancestors who were immigrants came with the same hope and dreams. Hard working immigrants deserve the opportunity to be legal in this country. Lets remember that once we were all immigrants and that this nation was created by immigrants.

     To be successful in what ever you do is necessary to have dedication. Jiro has a lot of dedication.

Even his sons known they won't have the same dedication that their dad has. Jiro is around 80 years old and he still works like a young man. He has all that energy because he has dedication. Everyone who works or provides products for Jiro needs to have dedication. A person without dedication can't work for Jiro he requires people who wants to improve their skills everyday. If someone believes they have dedication seeing Jiro and his workers will let them know what true dedication is all about.

     To be the best at something like Jiro is essential to make some sacrifices. Jiro makes sacrifices everyday he goes to work. He could easily retire but he doesn't because even though he is old he sacrifices because he loves his job. By expecting better results everyday he sacrifices himself to achieve his maximum potential. He expects his sons and workers to the same for them a good sushi is not enough. Jiro doesn't take weekends off or days off, he works as hard as he can everyday. Jiro shows that when you sacrifice you will obtain good results. He also teaches us that we shouldn't have a limit when we want to be good at something. Jiro and his workers are definitely a great example of how sacrifice makes you a better person.
