How can I help my girlfriend if she just got in an argument with her mom?
this is a question I can really relate to, me and my mom have a lot of issues and argue quite often and i'm very sensitive and she's very hateful so my husband helps me beyond words when it comes to me and my mothers arguments because it will send me into seizures and i will cry my eyes out and have anxiety attacks, he normally just holds me and cuddles with me, loves on me and puts my favorite movie on. so the best thing you can do is hold her and love on her, just comfort her and tell her everything will be okay it'll blow over. Do something to take it off her mind like something she likes (like for me i like watching my disney vhs movies that i've had since i was a baby and my fave is little mermaid, adult coloring, cuddling, listening to music) or take her somewhere to take her mind off of it, you don't technically have to spend money. take her to sit by the water or something like that. but just don't start problems with her mom, always treat her parents with respect or the relationship will not work out well) i've learned that from years of experience. but if you do have the extra money then buy her something that she will like. suprises by a girls partner always makes a girl happy.
Help for counter argument AGAINST maths!?
i am doing a persuasive essay on mathematics and how i consider that its made out to be much more important that it actually is whereas most people only really use basic maths in their lives. HOWEVER, i need two counter arguments which can be opposed and abolished. For instance my first counter argument was that people say "maths is used everyday" but i countered this by saying that only basic maths is used every day for most people and advanced maths is not needed for people who don't want a career in maths. Can someone please provide another counter argument and suggest how i can oppose it, thanks. (10 points for best answer.)
I don't get this Pro-Abortion Argument, help me out?
"It's her body, it's her decision" is something I hear often. But what I don't get is that if the baby has different DNA than the mother, if it's not the same being as her, then how is that her body? How is something with different DNA the same being? Please explain without extremist arguments or hate.
What are some flaws in the argument "You don't need shoes to run, but it frickin' helps!", put forward when people say you don't need alcohol to have fun?
The most obvious fault is a False analogy
I am in an Introduction to Logic class, and need help with this assignment as I don't understand anything about truth tables.?
Use a conversation with a friend or a family member and listen for an argument of at least three ordinary English sentences that can be translated to symbolic logical statements. Analyze one of the statements using truth tables to determine whether the translated sentence is tautologous, self-contradictory, or contingent. Next, compare two of the translated statements using truth tables to determine whether it is logically equivalent, contradictory, consistent or inconsistent. Finally, use all three statements to set up an argument using truth tables to determine the validity of the argument. If valid, why? If not, why not?
LOGIC- translating an casual argument into standard form? HELP!?
Okay. I'm not bad with translating arguments; but this one has completely stumped me. I have to translate the argument into standard form, and then test for validity. I can easily test for validity but I need help putting it into standard form. Here is the argument: "I don't have school on Saturday, and I didn't have school today. So today must be Saturday." Please help me put it into standard form!!!!!! 10 points best answer!
The logical argument for "Go to a therapist because it will help and don't stop fighting" doesn't seem to work on depressed people. Is there any way to inspire them to do so?
See Depression as a group of symptoms that is caused by something else. Depression is the end result. Don't look at depression as some mental illness that you treat. When you find the cause the symptoms will go away.For example since Oxygen and Sugar are 2 of the most important things involved in our mental alertness and basic life how is our over all health. Go see a Doctor and get a stress test. You might have a underlying heart condition that you won't realize till your in your 40's and have a near fatal attack. When Oxygen and sugar isn't going to your brain you are physically and mentally blunted(depressed). Stop trying to assoiciate some childhood or recent trauma to the way you feel. Get to bed earlier and stop these crazy diets. Exercise. If your "Fat" your eating to much that all....Its not your hormones...Its a disease of the elbows. You can't push away from the table. Stop taking selfie's . Put the focus of life onto others. Look for good in everyone. This is a start...but first go to your doctor and if he hands you a bottle of anti-depressants go to another doctor. My heart attack at age 55 was a result of suppressing symptoms by taking medications. Depression is symptoms with a medical cause behind it. Blood sugar problems also need consideration.
What do you guys think of Don Marquis's philosophical argument against abortion?
Starting out I have to admit I couldn't find Marquis' original essay on the Internet, only abstracts and summaries. I think I understand the gist of it. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me. I applaud Marquis for not falling back on the religions argument. Not that I believe it's wrong, it's just a cop-out. I appreciate that he at least defends his position in a reasoned, logical argument, rather than just to repeat his premise over and over and to demonize anyone who disagrees, which is what most pro-life advocates seem to do. But his argument still fails to address my own test, which is the question of where life begins. He seems to ignore this question. He refers to zygote/embryo/fetus as 'person', as if this is a premise previously accepted by everyone. Thus abortion is 'killing' a 'person'. And of course once you see it that way it's very very hard to justify abortion except in the most extreme cases. For years even Christians (Protestants anyway) disagreed on the point of just where life begins. The whole discussion about abortion, as we know it, is based on the idea that a single-celled zygote, a fertilized egg, is a 'person'. I find this argument artificial and arbitrary. And it appears to me that this decision was made in order to drive a stake in the ground, to rally Christians around it for a fight that was more political than religious.
What is some advice for arguing with my parents?
I have a 22 yo daughter that made me see red every single day from 16 to 18. She then proceeded to move. I thought she was very hard to live with. I did not ask a lot. But never got what I wanted without a whole lot of arguments. Sometimes it didn’t even work, she just refused. And the stare I would get. Wow! I felt like she thought I was the stupidest person in the world. Now we always had a somewhat challenging relationship since she has ADHD. And I have ADD but didn’t know it then. 4 years later, we get along very well. She is a sweet hearth and I love her to pieces and she gives me the love back.Why do I tell you this? My second daughter has now reached the ripe age of 18. Yup!…. Well you know what? She has been a pain since she got to 16, things slowly escalating for the worst during the years. The same arguments, the same roll of the eyes. But the difference is that we always had a good relationship. Not that I love her more then her sister, don’t even go there. We have the same kind of spirit, we just clicked. It happens. Where things were so hard with my first baby girl, they just came smoothly with the second. It just happened. But she still is making me frustrated to no end with her non-sense.I came to the conclusion that it will pass and that it is a phase in the transition from childhood to adulthood. We will live trough it. Now I just have to brace myself for the third one which will be making me go crazy in about 8 years. Yes another daughter…Okay this is getting long. My advice is…don’t look for ways to argue. Just try to do all your chores when you remember them or she asks. Maybe ask her if she needs something else before you sit down to do something. And be patient with her. She probably has her own list of complaints like my daughter certainly has against me.Remembering that this is just a hard period and not a life of painful interaction will make it easier to endure. Take care of each other. Do stuff with your mother other than clean. Go out and pay for her lunch. Make good memories. It will pass and you will be in good terms again, I’m sure, if you don’t let this get into a fight.Take care
