I know that the references are not documented correctly, please adjust.
Below is the exact questions with the answer format that I need to have answered.
At the end of the questions I will need a “journal” type of entry that sums what was learned from the material (life experiences, things going on in the world today are encourgaged) in the questions and answers. The ”journal” entry just needs to be about 200 words (I figured that this would be the secone page). I will need these kinds of services once a week for the next 11 weeks, so having the same person do this, may help. Just ever so thankful for you guys. I could never be able to work full time, be a mom, and attend school full time without you guys! If at you need anything, please contact me directly at (865) 414-7416. Thanks again!
Q1. Take one of the examples on pp. 50-53 and paraphrase it to show its underlying structure. Does the paraphrase help you to follow the argument? Do you find it necessary to make any unstated premises explicit?
(Below is the example from Q1 and the reference information)
A1. Why decry the wealth gap? First, inequality is correlated with political instability. Second, inequality is correlated with violent crime. Third, economic inequality is correlated with reduced life expectancy. A fourth reason? Simple justice. There is no moral justification for chief executives being paid hundreds of times more than ordinary employees.
