Choose an article from the Onion, about which to write an analysis essay. 700 words

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The article exaggerates appeals to authority to satirize and ridicule the use of expert opinions to promote the objective quality of a product. One "expert" that is cited is Dr. Arthur Bluni, "the pseudoscientist who developed the product" (9-10). Dr. Bluni mocks the fake experts frequently used in advertisements to lure in consumers by appealing to authority instead of fact. His name itself, since it sounds like baloney, implies that his testimony is nonfactual . Furthermore, since Dr. Bluni is a pseudoscientist, he has no real scientific basis for his claims. Since he is the developer of the product, his views are naturally biased. However, his status as a doctor mocks how consumers flock to those with appealing titles. Further appealing to biased sources, the article cites "the product's Web site" for information on how "MagnaSoles utilize the healing power of crystals" to heal people (30-31). Obviously a product's own website cannot be a good indicator of its actual quality. Whatever information is on the website would need to be verified by other sources for the product advertised to be considered valid. However, by appealing to such an authority, the article mocks how real advertisements cite flawed sources use those sources as vehicles to manipulate their product. The claim that a product uses "the healing power of crystals" demands sufficient proof that a biased source simply cannot provide. By using such a source, the article mocks how advertisements can disguise their products behind the credibility of false authorities. The article further cites "Dr. Wayne Frankel, the California State University biotrician who discovered Terranomtry," a pseudoscience that attempts to find correlation between the frequency of feet and the frequency of the Earth (41-43). Here, more expert testimonials are used in order to hide the real product and sell a notable name instead. Appeal to authority is sometimes acceptable, but this article mocks the use of false appeal to authority. Appeal to a "biotrician" who discovers a pseudoscience is flawed since there needs to be real scientists and real science in order to verify the quality of products. With regards to real advertising, the article mocks marketing schemes that use false authorities without credentials to make bad products look good. This exaggerated appeal to authority and credibility used by The Onion article elucidates how many real advertising strategies revolve around manipulating a product behind the masks of false authorities and biased sources.

Monthly Local Tax (0.1%): $1.125

Total Monthly deductions $262.6875

Trey’s NMI $862.3125

Explanation:

Calculation for What is his monthly taxes

First step is to calculate the Gross monthly income

Using this formula

Gross monthly income=Annual salary/Numbers of months in a year

Let plug in the formula

Gross monthly income=$13,500/12 months

Gross monthly income=$1,125

Therefore the Gross monthly income is :$1,125

Monthly Federal income tax (11.6%): $130.50

($1,125*11.6%)

Monthly Social security (FICA) (6.2%): $69.75

($1,125*6.2%)

Monthly Medicare (1.45%): $16.3125

($1,125*1.45%)

Monthly State Tax (4%): $45

($1,125*4%)

Monthly Local Tax (0.1%): $1.125

($1,125*0.1%)

Total Monthly deductions $262.6875

($130.50+$69.75+$16.3125+$45+$1.125)

Trey’s NMI $862.3125

Trey’s NMI=Gross monthly income-Total Monthly deductions

Trey’s NMI=$1,125-$262.6875

Trey’s NMI=$862.3125

Therefore his monthly taxes are:

Gross monthly income:$1,125

Monthly Federal income tax (11.6%): $130.50

Monthly Social security (FICA) (6.2%): $69.75

Monthly Medicare (1.45%): $16.3125

Monthly State Tax (4%): $45

Monthly Local Tax (0.1%): $1.125

Total Monthly deductions $262.6875

Trey’s NMI $862.3125

Do you think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it? Why or why not?

Vlada [557]

This is a matter of opinion. Do YOU think the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was worth it? Let's look at the factors.

What were some of the positives? Well, firstly, it ended World War II. That's kind of a big deal. In fact, it caused Japan not only to surrender, but UNCONDITIONALLY surrender. Basically, that means the US could ask Japan to do whatever it liked--which the US liked! Secondly, it was a triumph of science. The atomic bomb was a revolutionary work of science. Nothing like it had ever been made before, and it was all based on secrecy and theoretical science. The atomic bomb also <span>provided the basis for new, improved weapons, including the hydrogen bomb. </span>Thirdly, it helped establish the United States as a world power. Knowing about this super powerful weapon the US had, countries were likely to back off!

But there's a lot of negatives here, too. Keep in mind that most of these benefits were for the United States alone. Of course, there was one other BIG negative for the United States, and that's cost. The atomic bomb was worth billions of dollars! A second big one wasn't so much for the United States as for the world, especially Japan. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the effects on the people and city were devastating. People were vaporized. Cities and buildings were flattened, and nothing is left but carnage. People died, their skin peeling off, from cancer and radiation. It was awful! Thirdly, it caused the arms race. Knowing the US had this super weapon, ALL the countries started building their own. Now, we pretty much live in fear of all the nuclear weapons there are today--which are hundreds of times more powerful each than the first bomb!

So what do you think? Was it worth it?
