1. The word feminism is such a powerful word in todays media
because of the extremely negative or positive connotation that go with
it. Many people are under the idea that feminism is nothing but woman
whining about pointless things. On the other side many people view
feminism as a movement not just for equality for woman but for all
people. This is a hot button issue that you cannot really be on the
fence about. I like what Adichie is saying in that "The problem with
gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than who we are."
This is what I feel the base root to feminism should be; however, I also
feel that a lot of people use "feminism" to get on a soapbox they do
not necessarily know anything it.
2.In my opinion these are Rogarian arguments. They are saying that
patriarchy hurts society because the less desirable are always passed
down from generation to generation instead of being corrected and
retaught.
3. In my opinion feeling is a very sensitive subject in general. This is
because today's society in my opinion is very sensitive. There is a
massive movement in political correctness. This is the idea that if you
tread on anyone's toes you will hurt their feelings and suffer much
social outcast. I think that people's feelings are important but that
there is an air of oversensitivity.

1. The fallacy for logos would be that of a slippery slope effect. In
essence it would be saying that if something is true than it cause
ridiculous clams that make the audience question ones credibility. The
fallacy of ethos would be the deformation of ones character. In an
argument if you were to essentially call someone a name you lose. For
pathos the fallacy would be that of trying to use emotions like fear to
win your argument. This is probably most common when arguing for
God as I have heard someone say "Aren't you afraid that if you don't
believe in God you will go to hell?" In this instance this person just lost
the argument.
2. An argument of fact is attempting to find out if something is true or
not. Facts are often very controversial as they deal in personal beliefs.
An argument of definition is something with boundaries. This would be
saying that if this happens than that is the result. This would more be
the ideal argument for an ethical debate. That being said the argument
for God is that of fact.
3. An argument of evaluation isn't so much an argument in and of
itself. It is more the judging of other arguments by using pathos, logos,
and ethos.
4. In "The Problem With Evil" the argument is leaning to the side of
ethos. Lewis in the beginning talks about how if God id good than he
would want good things for his creatures, but since bad this happen He
