However, sometimes it might be difficult to convince the other group О because the argument could be based on a matter of preference, or religious faith. Г О * Therefore, arguments of preference, belief or faith are NOT the type of arguments.К С The kind of argument that can be argued logically is one based on an opinion that canВ be Е supported by evidence such as facts. Ш * An argumentative essay is also one that attempts/tries to change the reader’sЫ mind, Н to convince the reader to agree with the point of view of the writer. Р Е * For that reason, the argumentative essay attempts to be highlyЧ persuasive and . logical. For example, a thesis such as “My first experiences withГ Americans were . shocking” has a central idea ‘shocking’ but it is not really strongly Н persuasive, and it is certainly not argumentative. И Н * When you write an argumentative essay, assume that theЕ reader disagrees with you. But please remember that your reader is no less intelligent thanМ you. И * So, write objectively, logically and respectfully. TryТ to understand your opponent’s Е point of view. If you do not, you are not likely to conviТ nce the reader. И С Р Е PLANNING/ORGANIZING THE ARGUMENTATIVEВ ESSAY И Н У When you are planning the argumentativeЙ essay, be aware that the essay should contain the following characteristics:Ы Н Н Е 1. The argumentative essayВ should introduce and explain the issue or case. The Т reader needs to understandС what the issue is going to being argue. Р 2. The essay should offerА reasons and support for those reasons. In other words, the Д essay should proveУ its point. 3. The essay shouldС refute opposing arguments. (refute: to prove wrong by argument О or to show that Г something is invalid/untrue/illogical) Й 4. The essayИ should summarize arguments and contra-arguments and provide with К neutralС conclusion. В О Т АORGANIZATION of an ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY Р А С 1. Introduction. You can first introduce the problem and give background information necessary for the argument and the thesis 2. Reasons. It is usually a good idea to spend one paragraph for each reason. Two or three reasons are typical. 6 3. Refutation. Depending on the points the writer wants to make, one or two paragraphs are typical. 4. Conclusion.

Vaughn [email protected] Office: Garrison 3.218 (ph. 512-232-8268) Office Hours: Friday, 2:30 – 4:30 PM, and by appointment Course Description This lecture course surveys the history of England and, after the union with Scotland in 1707, the history of Great Britain from the English Revolution and the restoration of the Stuart monarchy (c. 1640-1660) to the War of American Independence (c. 1775-1783). The kingdom underwent a remarkable transformation during this period, with a powerful monarchy, a persecuting state church, a traditional society, and an agrarian economy giving way to parliamentary rule, religious toleration, a dynamic civil society, and a commercial and manufacturing-based economy on the eve of industrialization. How and why did this transformation take place? Over the course of the same period, Great Britain emerged as a leading European and world power with a vast commercial and territorial empire stretching across four continents. How and why did this island kingdom off the northwestern coast of Europe, geopolitically insignificant for much of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, become a Great Power and acquire a global empire in the 1 eighteenth century? How did it do so while remaining a free and open society? This course explores these questions as well as others.

  • The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Great Britain
    The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Great Britain Basic Facts: . The “United Kingdom” includes Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland. Great Britain and Northern Ireland are the two main islands of the United Kingdom. The national capital is London. The flag of the UK represents England, Northern Scotland, the flag of Great Britain, and Northern Ireland. This is sometimes confusing. Let’s look at some different names that are sometimes confused: o England = ___________________ o Britain= ______________________ + __________________ o Great Britain= ________________ + __________________+___________________ o United Kingdom= _____________ +___________________+ _________________+__________________ . In addition to Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom has many small islands. It also has many territories around the world that may not officially be considered part of the United Kingdom but do have a special relationship with the British government. Weather: Great Britain experiences plenty of rainfall, and the weather is often changeable and difficult to predict. Because of this, weather is often a topic for discussion. Because of the abundant rainfall and mild climate, Britain is great environment for plants to grow and is very green. Language: English is the official language for the entire United Kingdom, but some people speak it in different ways, influenced by their family history. (Welsh English, Scottish English, etc.) Other Nationalities: The United Kingdom contains people from many countries. These immigrants sometimes live in communities with other immigrants from the same area. As of 1998, there were 170,000 Chinese living in Britain, mostly from Hong Kong. 1/3 of those Chinese were living in London at the time.

No attempt will be made in this paper to argue that the state flag is controversial simply because it incorporates the Confederate battle flag or that it represents the Confederacy itself. Rather, this paper will focus on the flag as it has become associated, since the 1956 session, with preserving segregation, resisting the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, and maintaining white supremacy in Georgia. A careful examination of the history of Georgia’s state flag, the 1956 session of the General Assembly, the designer of the present state flag – John Sammons Bell, the legislation redesigning the 1956 flag, and the status of segregation at that time, will all be addressed in this study.

  • Great Britain Flag GB Flag Has Very Interesting History of Its Introduction
    Great Britain flag GB Flag has very interesting history of its introduction. This is one of the oldest flags in the world. Today it had turned 400 years old. The flag of Great Britain is officially called the Union flag, because it embodies emblems of three countries united under one monarch. Here's how it happened. In 1603, the year of Queen Elizabeth I's death, England and Scotland existed as completely separate nations, each with their own monarch and parliament. Elizabeth, being a spinster and therefore childless, expressed a deathbed wish that her cousin, King James VI of Scotland, be named as her successor to the English throne. Thus, the Scottish monarch was projected into the unique position of ruling two nations simultaneously. He ruled Scotland as King James VI and England as King James I. The English national flag at this period consisted of a simple red cross fully imposed upon a plain white field, this being the emblem of St. George, England's patron saint. The Scottish national flag consisted of a diagonal white cross, fully imposed upon a medium blue field. This was the emblem of St. Andrew, Scotland's patron saint. In the spring of 1606, the Cross of Saint George was placed over the Scottish Cross of Saint Andrew to form the British Union Flag and it was the forerunner of the present flag of Great Britain. Although the traditional St. George's Cross flag continued to be used as an English flag for some years, all seagoing ships began using the new Union flag better known today as the Union Jack.

  • Saint Andrew's Cross, the Scottish National Flag from 832
    Saint Andrew's Gross, the Scottish National Flag from 632 A.D. till toda}^ . Norman Logan In the year 500, the Scots crossed from Ireland to Scotland under King Fergus, ancestor of our present queen. A successor of his. King Angus Mac Fergus, reigning in the year 832, had to repel an English invasion under Athelstane. Encouraged by the appearance of a white St. Andrew's Cross in the sky, the Scots won the battle. In gratitude King Angus a- dorned the church of St. Andrews, St. Andrew became the Patron of Sco­ tland, and his cross the emblem of the Scottish people. Such is the le­ gendary origin of the Scottish flag, and it is commemorated in the arms fo the local community. A memorial now stands in the churchyard at Athel- staneford near Edinburgh, and there the St. Andrews Flag flies always, floodlit at night. St. Andrew was probably the patron of Scottland by the year 1000: in 1286, St. Andrew crucified appears on a seal of the Kingdom; about 1350 a saltire appears on coins. In 1385 an Act of the Scots parliament de­ creed that every man in a Sots army invading England should wear a whi­ te St. Andrew's Cross. The saltire was used also in many family arms; and a few old chieftains standards survive from this period. During the 1500s the St. Andrew's Cross began to appear on flags. Con­ temporary paintings and sculptures show it used, on land and at sea - (1588). In 1542, the Royal Arms of King James V, father of Mary Stuart, have Unicorn supporters bearing lances with saltires, as they stilldo.

  • From Jacobitism to the SNP: the Crown, the Union and the Scottish Question
    From Jacobitism to the SNP: the Crown, the Union and the Scottish Question The Stenton Lecture 2013 An earlier version of this paper was delivered as the Stenton Lecture at the Univer- sity of Reading on 21 November 2013 ! Confusion of a strangely willed kind surrounds the events of 26 January 2011, an occasion whose - metaphorical - fogginess will yield footnotes for years to come in the scholarship of British constitutional theorists. This was the day on which Gerry Adams, the Sinn Féin President and MP for West Belfast, who wished to stand as a candidate for Louth in the upcoming Irish elections to the Dáil, re- signed as an MP from Westminster; or, at least, thought he had. For, of course, British constitutional procedure does not permit an MP to resign. Rather the exit from Westminster is a circuitous one; a Member cannot simply evade his or her re- sponsibilities and resign, but has to take an office of profit under the crown - most famously, of course, the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds - which automatical- ly disqualifies him or her from the Commons. In the event, the Prime Minister David Cameron announced - with a hint of schoolboy sniggering - that Gerry Adams had accepted just such a post, another quasi-Ruritanian sinecure, namely that of Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. The Sinn Féin President was indig- nant, and denied that any thing of the sort had happened: ‘I simply resigned….I am an Irish Republican. I have had no truck with these antiquated and quite bizarre aspects of the British parliamentary system.’1 Whether one takes the view that the Prime Minister accurately parsed the legal fiction involved, or whether Adams was strictly correct in his blunt assessment of what had happened, one thing is clear: the Sinn Féin President’s Irish nationalism was rooted in an uncompromising repub- licanism - as everybody knew, which is precisely why the Prime Minister found it a cause for mirth, and why Adams was decidedly not amused.

  • Flag of England
    Flag of England The Flag of England is the St George's Cross (heraldic blazon: Argent, a cross gules). The red cross appeared as an emblem of England in the Middle Ages, specifically during the Crusades (although the original symbol used to represent English crusaders was a white cross on a red background) and is one of the earliest known emblems representing England.[2] It also represents the official arms of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and it achieved status as the national flag of England during the 16th century.[1] Saint George was adopted as the patron saint of England in the 13th century, and the legend of Saint George slaying a dragon dates from the 12th century. Diamond Jubilee of the British Monarch I may be a staunch republican (not the party, the ideology, damn right wingers), but someone has to give it to her, 60 years as the Queen of England is something worthy of note. On the 6th February 1952, King George VI died and his daughter Elizabeth ascended to the throne of the Commonwealth. She's now been there for 60 years - the second longest any British Monarch has reigned, second only to Victoria. This is not just a celebration of the longevity of the current monarch, but also of our great British traditions - and the life of the English Monarchy which has lasted for well over 1000 years, one of the oldest continuing Monarchies in the world. I may firmly believe in a political republic, but as our British history goes, this is something that we have, to be proud of.
