Read the tollowing two arguments about school unitorms then answer the question below. Carl: "Imagine a world without color and free choice. That will be the world we live in if we are forced to wear
uniforms The uniforms will be ugly. They will make you look like a nerd, because uniforms are what all nerds wear.
Don't be one of the fools that think this is a good idea, because everyone knows we do not need uniforms.
Beth: "Uniforms are a great idea for our school. Studies have shown that schools that adopted a uniform saw a 10%
increase in grades. I know Carl says that the uniforms are ugly, however as a guy, what does he know about fashion?
The uniforms will not be ugly, because uniforms are not ugly."
Who uses circular reasoning in their argument?

Beth.

Explanation:

Circular reasoning is essentially reasoning that explains itself. There is no beginning, and there is no end. Another way to look at it is you can repeat either half of the statement as justification for the other. The uniform will not be ugly? Why? Because Uniforms are not ugly. Why are uniforms not ugly? Because the Uniform will not be ugly. It is a way to "answer" questions without answering them, and is good for frustrating opponents.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

throughout the ancient epic of gilgamesh, the protagonist, gilgamesh of course, exhibited many character traits that made him a true epic hero. one great trait that gilgamesh acquires of an epic hero is that he's a courageous and confident leader. in the text enkidu is too afraid to fight, but he's positive that gilgamesh has the ability to triumph against humbaba. gilgamesh tells enkidu to not be afraid and then continues on to remind him of all the victories he's had against similar foe. gilgamesh proves that he's confident by encouraging enkidu and shows he's courageous when enkidu ask gilgamesh to battle humbaba alone because he knows that gilgamesh will reign victorious.

another characteristic that makes gilgamesh an epic hero is that he's brave and takes risks. "dread surged through gilgamesh, terror flooded his muscles, his heart froze, his mouth went dry, his legs shook, his feet were rooted to the ground. / gilgamesh felt his courage return. they charged at humbaba like two wild bulls." when reading the first part of the quote you see that gilgamesh is terrified of humbaba, and realizing that humbaba is the antagonist he's about to battle is taking a big risk. gilgamesh soon shows how brave he is by not letting his fear of humbaba overtake him, instead he went charging into the face of fear and triumphs.
