Thesis Statement On Capitalism And Capitalism
Introduction
Socialism and capitalism are two concepts that are used by governments in respective countries
regarding how the economies operate. The two concepts are based on political, economic and social
systems. The United States of America is an example of a capitalist country while Sweden is a
socialist nation. Apart from the similarity in which the government plays a role in the effectiveness
of the two systems, there is no discrimination in both systems regarding race, color or other arbitrary
classification. There are notable differences between the two systems based on ownership structure,
equity, and employment.

Topic Sentence: Socialism and capitalism are two concepts that are used by governments in
respective countries regarding how the economies operate.
II. Thesis statement: There are notable differences between the two systems based on ownership
structure, equity, and employment.
III. Ownership Structure:
a. Ownership structure is similar because both systems rely on property, people, or goods for value
and the government plays a role.
b. In a capitalist economy, properties, land, capital, and businesses are owned and controlled by
individuals (Pigou, 2002).
c. In socialism, individuals should not have ownership of land, capital, or industry but rather the
whole community collectively owns and controls property, goods, and production (Cohen, 2008).
IV. Equity:
a. In capitalism and socialism, equity is important in both economic systems. Moreover, in both
systems, the owner or employee receive some form of equity.
b. Equity is not a concern under capitalism, and the argument is that inequality is the driving force
that encourages innovation.
c. In socialism, equality is a significant concern, and it is emphasized in which there is the
redistribution of wealth and resources from the rich to the

Argumentative Essay On Atomic Structure
For: The atomic–structure has come a long way since the twentieth century. Many scientific
discoveries have been made in the past hundred years, including the development of MRI and X–ray
imaging. MRI's provide the technology to be able to view soft tissue within the body. MRI's can
accurately detect tumours and several types of diseases which allow doctors to properly diagnose
and treat patients. None of this would have been possible without researching the structure of the
atom. By increasing current funds for atomic–structure research scientists could make many more
scientific breakthroughs that could benefit society as well as obtain more knowledge of how the
universe works based on the atomic makeup. Against: The major issue with

Argumentative Essay
English Composition
Language and Identity
Who am I? What is it that defines that personality? Anzaldua argues in her essay that the language is
what defines one's identity. Language is indeed an important component of culture, and culture is
known to be a crucial definer of identity. People use language to connect to their identities and
communicating their realities and values to themselves and to the world around them... In other
words, language is important because people use it to express their thoughts and beliefs. "People
evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances" (Baldwin 109).
Consequently, language does not necessarily define identity as much as identity defines language.

Tan clearly mentions in her story that she had to speak two different languages to her Asian mom
who had her own made up English. Tan relates to both her Asian descent and American belongings
by using her mom's made up English to speak with her mom, and uses the proper English to give
lectures and speak to most Americans. On the same grounds, Anzaldua learned through her life
experiences to frequently use multiple types of English, and many other Dialects of proper Spanish
and Mexican Spanish. She uses each language to communicate, connect and affiliate to specific
people according to their background. This proves that the assumption that language defines culture
and identity fails. What happens to the people who speak many languages, do they not get the
benefit and pride of belonging to a certain community
? Rather the contrary, they belong to multiple
communities and they choose which group they want to communicate with and with which
language. People have the ability to switch from a language to another to be part of a group and this
supports the idea that identity defines and shapes language, and not the opposite.
Language is used as a way to identify with people, but it is also used to distinguish between them.
People use language to differentiate between people and associate them to a specific culture and
community according to the language they speak. America is known for having a diverse

Examples Of Argumentative Essay
Argumentative essay presents a point of view about something and explains the reasons in order to
win readers' agreement. It is built around a specific statement (or main premise) that is debatable
within the field in which students are studying. In other words, at the center of an argumentative
essay is a statement with which readers may disagree. The argumentative essay will need to support
that statement in a manner that convinces the readers of its truth. It mainly strives to convince the
reader of the writer's point of view, using reasonable and ethical methods .The process of argument
composition varies from writer to writer, most writers follow these three stages: forming an
argument, which can consist of discovering a motive for writing and identifying an audience to
address, discovering and sharpening a position, and developing an appropriate style; supporting the
argument; and reviewing the argument, which can include considering the image projected by
argument, making substantial additions or deletions to a first draft, and adding an introduction and
conclusion (Cheng and Chen 2009, Day,1997, Liu,2005,Mayberry,2009).

The first feature is superstructure which refers to the organizational plan of any text and the linear
progression of the text. The second feature is the quality of logical reasoning which is assessed by
analyzing the interrelationships of writers' assertions and the associated support or data provided to
substantiate those claims. The third feature is identified as persuasive appeal, including affective
appeal and establishment of writer credibility. Finally, she notes that audience awareness is an
important characteristic of successful argumentative writing. The writer must observe an awareness
of the reader's perspective by dealing implicitly or explicitly with possible

The Importance Of Writing An Argumentative Essay
As a student in a beginning English class some elements may seem difficult at the beginning but
with practice they become long lasting skills. Writing an argumentative is not an easy task there is a
lot of elements that have to come together to create a successful essay but as many other things, it
requires constant practice and effort. At the start of this course I wasn't a very good writer myself,
and I can see the huge improvement this course made by looking at my first argumentative essay
. I
was able to identify and apply the requisites of a good argument essay. A well thought structure,
reliable evidence, and a counterargument are three essential components of argumentative writing
.
The structure of an essay is the foundation to a good argumentative paper. Throughout this course I
learned the importance of having an essay structure, before I started this class I didn't have a very
clear vision of how to correctly format my essay. In my diagnostic essay, which was the first one I
wrote for English 1302, had five paragraphs. That is considered a standard structure of many essays
but it is more of a skeleton. Looking back at that essay I see how poor my introduction was, I did
not even have a clear thesis. One only thing even close to one that I could spot was, "The
"millennials," people born in the last two decades of the 20th century, are failing to reflect Rich's
model for a good education." It merely addresses the topic in a simple way. It did not serve the
purpose a

Thesis Statement On Standardized Testing
Thesis: The effects of standardized testing have negatively impacted students across the United
States. High Stakes testing has led to a decrease in student motivation, high retention rate, and a
notable change in early dropout rates.
I. History of Standardized Testing
A. Standardized testing shows where a student stands academically.
B. High stake testing determines if a student will move forward a grade or not.
C. The legislatives thought high stake testing would improve student academics.
II. Lack of Student Motivation

Motivation can affect a student's outcome in class.

Although legislatives assumption was that high stakes testing would enhance understudy inspiration,
and raise understudy accomplishment, that supposition was completely incorrect. The effect of
standardized testing (
high–stakes testing
) has not been positive throughout the United States at all.
Due to the lack of motivation, the high retention rate, and notable change in dropout rate, it may be a
while until many states recover, especially for states like Louisiana. According to Nola, Louisiana is
tied with Florida for having one of the country's fifth lowest graduation rates, and one of the highest
dropout rates. Our society needs to come together and think of a plan that will help students, and
prevent the increasing number of kids who decide to give up on school. A system that will benefit
both students, and teachers should be created; making it better for both, students and teachers to
work together properly. With a new system student motivation may improve, the number of over
aged students sitting in the wrong grade will decrease, and the notable dropout rate will actually

Structure and Agency Essay
Structure and agency are two theoretical terms used to explain the capacity at which we as people
are able to be individuals, and to what extent those influences limit our individuality. Structure
refers to the ways in which a society is organized. Agency refers to the behaviors and actions of the
individuals within the social structure. Agency is limited by the structure due to cultural barriers and
inequalities within the structure. In this essay, I will present an overview of why critical theorists are
concerned with those inequalities, and I will further identify the problems within the system
contributing to the unequal access to the public sphere, relating specifically to class and gender
inequalities. Society is highly

As Habermas puts it "the relationship of the individual to the state has increasingly become one of
client or consumer services, rather than citizen" (Roberts & Crossley, 5). Due to the limited agency
(citizens' roles) within this sphere, we can conclude that the ongoing competition and negotiation for
a role in the public sphere ends with strictly dominant views. In such a monarchy, ordinary citizens
such as lower classes and women have limited input when debating politics among other things. The
ideal of a place where all opinions are counted, so to speak, fails to provide a sense of individual
identity. This is due to the fact that it is pre–destined by the state itself and then turned back to the
people– telling them what they will think about particular issues; shown especially through the
controlling lens of the media. According to Marx, those who have power over society exert their
control as a result of economic power and therefore determine the dominant ideologies within the
superstructure model. Being the greater economical and cultural barrier, the structure provides the
social world with norms, rules and beliefs pertaining to age, gender, class and one's cultural identity.
Within that structure it becomes apparent that inequalities restrict your agency in terms of
nationality, geographical location, class etc. In agreement with Marx, the dominant views are
generally the views of the superior class; the elite. One example

Argumentative Essay On Single Parents
Chris Polito Paola Brown Eng102
25 March 2008
Single Parent Struggle
For many years, children growing up in a single parent family have been viewed as different. Being
raised by only one parent seems impossible to many yet over the decades it has become more
prevalent. In today's society many children have grown up to become emotionally stable and
successful whether they had one or two parents to show them the rocky path that life bestows upon
all human beings. The problem lies in the difference of children raised by single parents versus
children raised by both a mother and a father. Does a child need both parents? Does a young boy
need a father figure around? Does the government provide help for single parents? What role do
step–parents and step–siblings play? With much speculation, this topic has become a very intriguing
argument. What people must understand is that properly raising a child does not rely on the structure
of a family but should be more focused on the process or values that are taught to these children as
they learn to mature. Children of single parents can be just as progressive with emotional, social and
behavioral skills as those with two parents.
People claim that the only way for children to gain full emotional and behavioral skills is to be
raised by both a mother and a father. When a topic such as this one has a broad amount of variables
it is impossible to simply link these problems to only having one parent. In the article, "Single–
parent families cause juvenile crime", author Robert L. Maginnis states, "Children from single–
parent families are more likely to have behavior
Polito 1 problems because they tend to lack economic security and adequate time with parents". The
simple statement that raw criminals are products of single–parent adolescence is absurd. What this
writer must understand is that it can be extremely difficult for one parent to raise a child by
themselves for many reasons. A single–parent must work full time to be able to afford to provide for
themselves and their child. They must also be able to still have time to offer an exuberant amount of
emotional time for the well being of their child. However, even though this may seem impossible, it
can be done.

Argumentative Essay
Argumentative Essay
The function of an argumentative essay is to show that your assertion (opinion, theory, and
hypothesis) about some phenomenon or phenomena is correct or more truthful than others'. The art
of argumentation is not an easy skill to acquire. Many people might think that if one simply has an
opinion, one can argue it successfully, and these folks are always surprised when others don't agree
with them because their logic seems so correct. Argumentative writing is the act of forming reasons,
making inductions, drawing conclusions, and applying them to the case in discussion; the operation
of inferring propositions, not known or admitted as true, from facts or principles known, admitted,
or proved to be true. It clearly

Inductive logic arrives at likely conclusions by counting up evidence, while deductive logic arrives
at necessary conclusions by examining the logical meanings of statements. According to Purdue
University English Profession Neil Gill, deductive arguments can be grouped into two categories: A
Rogerian argument considers several viewpoints and selects the best one, whereas a Toulmin
argument presents a single, linear argument (i.e., A therefore B) in support of a position. Fallacious
Fallacious arguments are logical–seeming arguments that are not valid. Unlike logical arguments,
fallacious arguments do not arrive at valid conclusions or inferences. There are literally dozens of
fallacious arguments you can commit; a fallacious argument style is one that commits one or more
fallacies frequently. For example, if a person in an argument persistently says, "the economy went
up this year, therefore the party in power caused the economy to improve," that person is engaging
in the "post hoc ergo propter hoc" fallacy
, an invalid argument of the form "x happened, y happened,
therefore x caused y." Social Argumentation Styles
Argumentation can be looked at in terms of the way the interlocutors perceive each other. According

Essay on Capital Structure
Introduction
The relationship between capital structure and firm value has been discussed frequently in the
literature by different researcher accordingly, in both theoretical and empirical studies. It has also
been discussed that whether the firm has any optimal capital structure that has been adopted by an
individual firm, or whether the proportions of debt usage is completely irrelevant to the individual
firm value.
A firm can choose a mix of three modes of financing i.e. issuing shares, borrowing from the market
and use of retained earnings. The ratio of this mix of funds purely depends on the firm and known as
optimal capital structure of the firm. This leads to the different capital structure theories. These
theories explain their

Limited research work exists on this area, like Booth et al (2001) studied 10 developing countries
including Pakistan. However, this study was confined only to top 100 index companies. Second
study by Shah and Hijazi (2004) was an improvement on the first one as it included all non–
financial firms listed on KSE for the period 1997–2001. However, the second study too was basic in
nature in terms of its use of pooled regression model avoiding the fixed effects and random effects
models. The purpose of this study is to extend the work of Shah and Hijazi (2004) by extending the
sample period i.e 2001–2006 and including more firms in sample as convenient random selection of
samples, using relevant models of panel data and using more explanatory variables.
This study will further lead to the dynamics of KSE listed firms. Investor trends towards highly
leveraged firms and determination whether the optimum capital structure effects the decision of
investor resulting change in the balance sheet of a company.
Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to check whether the changes in structure of capital has impact on the
overall value of the firms, and specifically in leverage ratio of firms listed in Karachi Stock
Exchange (KSE).

Teaching English as a foreign language carries many debatable issues. Some people claim that

identity. Others say that the teaching of the target language culture ?be it British or American– help

In addition to what have been said earlier, the classroom setting and decoration have to depict the
culture of the students, even simple things count, when setting the number of the room on the door
of the classroom, it is advisable to put besides "Room 12" for example, the equivalent in Arabic
"/ka:a/ 12". Another job the teacher has to do to preserve the student culture is to design activities
that require high order thinking skills, so that the student can question, evaluate, analyze and
synthesize a given topic, train them to be critical readers, help them find themselves and gain a
balanced personality. All in all, teaching British or American culture in English as a foreign
language class is inevitable. It helps in the process of learning and experiencing new attitudes,
values that are somehow impossible to reach without the presence of language. Sonia Nieto once
said that learning English and learning it well is absolutely essential for academic and social life
success, but the assumption that one must discard one's identity along the way the needs to be

Persuasive Essay On Charter Schools
Open to all children, free of tuition, and does not have special entrance requirements, charter schools
believe that children should have the opportunity to achieve at a high level. When creating charter
schools, they focused on a desire to create greater flexibility for innovation within public education.
It was hoped that successful innovations could be adapted to benefit public education more broadly.
(NEA, 2017). Charter schools also, foster partnership between parents, teachers, and students in
hopes of creating an environment in which parents can be more involved, teachers are allowed to
innovate, and students are provided with structure they need to learn.
Unlike public schools, charter schools believe that smaller class sizes are important to student
learning. According to Homeschooling "Pros and Cons of Charter Schools" article, "Rather than
having a student attend a public school where students will be one among thirty to thirty–five other
pupils, charter school students will be one of twelve, sometimes fifteen other students" (2017). In a
classroom with many students, a teacher may not have the ability to spend sufficient quality time
one–on–one with every student . This may result in teachers having more of a challenge in
motivating each student and encouraging students individually. The teacher may not have the time to
recognize each student's particular challenges, passions, and talents (Homeschooling, 2017 ). In

Essay about Prejudice
Missing Formatting
In today's world, there are many social issues, like poverty, vandalism and unemployment. However,
prejudice has become the most dramatic one. Prejudging people for their appearance is a common
practice that humans perform. People are not only ridiculed for their color, but also by their religion,
sex or age. Therefore, I consider that racism, ageism and sexism are the three major problems in our
society and we need to cease them immediately. Much of our world's history were based upon
racism. In the 1600's, white men used Africans as slaves and treated them as they were not human.
"Colored" people were not even allowed to use the same drinking fountains as white people.
Fortunately, in the last three decades

The most popular watched sport in America, NBA basketball, is played by over 87% of the African
decent. Nevertheless, racism is still a issue that will never completely go away. Ageism is also a
worrying problem in our society. Though many people think that this is not a serious problem,
people are being harassed about their age everyday, whether they are "too young" or "too old". I
have dealt with this problem myself, as many other teenagers have. When I walk into some stores, I
am asked to leave my purse at the counter and I am often followed around by employees. They
watch every move I make to make sure that I will not steal anything. I know that theft is a dilemma
that many businesses have to deal with , but when it gets to the point of being untrusted due to your
age, it is completely ridiculous and inappropriate. Men and women have never been equal in the
world and that is what we call sexism. For example, if a man and a woman who have the same
knowledge ask for the same job, the boss will probably pick the man. Even though they both get the
job, the man will maybe have a better salary than the woman. People always believe that men work
better than women but no one can give a satisfying explication to support that thought. Fortunately,
sexism is decreasing constantly but it will never diminish to the point of complete equality. We can
never judge someone by their

Aquinas Argumentative Structure
Additionally, the structure for all the five ways that Aquinas presented had similar argumentative
structure. First, an empirical fact is introduced which would lead to a conclusion which proved a
'transcendent cause' that relied upon these facts (35). A 'transcendent cause' is a cause that is not a
part of the physical world but offers explanation of the existence and occurrences of this world (35).
Aquinas believed we did not understand God's essence, so he made the conclusion that God's
existence was not self evident to us, but it could be proven. Therefore, as stated earlier, he uses the
observation of 'motion' to prove that God's lack of existence would be demonstrably false rather
than self–contradictory (35). However, Aquinas' argument

What Makes An Effective Argument Ineffective?
1. The basic parts of an effective argument are a stated clearly defined issue, makes a claim, and
offers support for that claim. Sometimes an argument may also recognize opposing viewpoints and
incorporate them into the argument
2. What makes an argument ineffective is when using emotional appeals to distract a reader from a
lack of evidence. Also the use of faulty reasoning
, and inaccurate facts.
3. An issue is a problem, controversy, or an idea that people can have different viewpoints about.
The term claim is a point in which a writer is trying to prove. This is typically the writer's viewpoint
on the issue. A refutation is recognizing and auguring against opposing viewpoints.
