Moreover, the author includes the leaked police camera that highlights the footages of the situation where George Floyd was arrested. The author uses this video as a critical evidence to exemplify the racial discrimination in America. However, the author ignored another critical evidence in the video. The video clearly includes the process where the police got a report around a possible crime around counterfeit. When the police asked for a search, George Floyd refused to follow the polices' order multiple times and was even suspected to show drug reactions which were all record in the camera. Yet, the author chose to ignore this important information to analyze the validity of considering the polices' action as a "violence" due to racial disccrimination. The article shows a firm stance of the author ignoring an important evidence to keep his claim that polices' action was unjustified. ]]> 2020-10-11 05:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819181827 Media Literacy hcchoi221_1 https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819182177 CRAAP

This article is about a recent comment that President Donald Trump has made regarding the protestors of Black Lives Matter Movement. He explicitly claimed the protestors as a group of "Marxists", who believes in the theory of a world with no classes. Mr President is clearly making an appeal to spite in order to dismiss the BLM by appealing to his personal bias. He is ignoring the purpose of BLM which is rather to remove the hate crime that is consistently happening due to the racial discrimination which shouldn't occur under the Constitution. Yet, Mr Donald Trump continues to claim the BLM as Marxist not looking at the good things of the society. Mr President is considering the BLM as a a socialistic movement. In reality, this movement is rather promoting for the following of the Constitution where every American Citizen has equal rights to live in a safe world. This article clearly indicates an appeal to Spite by describe the interview that Fox News had with President Donald Trump. ]]> 2020-10-11 05:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819183345 Questioning hcchoi221_1 https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819183545 Supporting

The author is framing these participants as a hero who came up with a solution raise the awareness of this racial issue as a group.

This article is about the influence that Black Lives Matter had on statues of historical figures. The author uses a historical lense to analyze the influence of Black Lives Matter on the values of the historical figures. Since BLM revolves around the issues of racial equality, the author looks at certain historical figures that have failed to make a racial equality. For example, Juan de Onate, a 16th colonial governor, was revealed to enact cruel treatment towards native Americans. When people noticed this fact, citizens in New Mexico removed Juan’s statue after a blast of gunfire. Moreover, the author analyzes the racial issue of Black Lives Movement to have a controversial discussion on certain historical figures. For example, John Sutter was well known settler famous for his role in the California gold rush. Despite his support in the gold rush, he enslaved and exploited the Native Americans. The author uses the historical lense to analyze the influence of BLM on re-evaluation of the values of historical figures.

This article is about the comments that Tomi Lahren made over their discussion about the justification of the violence used during the protests for Black Lives Matter Movement. Tomi Lahren claimed that United States is a nation built upon the idea of violence starting back from the Boston Tea Party Incident. Thus, he concludes that violence in protest are justified. His argument is a great example of unqualified generalization because violence cannot be justified at any case. Just by the fact that someone else has been already committing violence cannot be generalized as a factor of justification of the violence that occur today. In this discussion, Tomi Lahren clearly makes a unqualified generalization of the violence that are committed today in our society through protests of Black Lives Matter Movement ]]> 2020-10-11 14:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819715640 Reasoning hcchoi221_1 https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819715704 Slippery Slope 

This article is about the statements that Tucker Carlson made on his Monday's Edition of "Tucker Carlson's Tonight". He argued that Black Lives Matter Movement is a single most powerful political party in the United States. He concludes that people are "lining up to bow before Black Lives Matter". In order to come to his resolution, he uses slippery slope over the course of connection. He started off by claiming that BLM "is not a collection of marchers with signs", nor it is not a conventional political lobby. If it is not both, he claimed this movement to a be a big political political party. Tucker Carlson adds on to his claim as he thinks that since it's a big political party, politicians are not saying anything or arguing against it. Therefore, people are "bowing" towards BLM. Politicians are not arguing against it since it is an undeniable fact that there are still racial discrimination in the United States even though they have ratified their 13th and 14th amendment where all men (human being) are equal. Moreover, just by the fact that politicians are not arguing against this movement cannot mean that people are "bowing" towards BLM. Instead, people are supporting BLM because it is necessary to fix, not to control, the world full of racial discrimination. In this article, Tucker Carlson clearly used a logical fallacy through slippery slope to make his conclusion. ]]> 2020-10-11 14:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/819715704 Topic: Black Lives Matter Movement hcchoi221_1 https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/821703171 2020-10-12 14:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hcchoi221_1/d43ue0t8vjzvl9vj/wish/821703171
