If a person speaking appears uncomfortable or unsure about what they are saying, the audience will perceive their ethos and credentials as untrustworthy, and persuasion will not work.

Although it has been used for many years by many different people, torture has been the center of many facets in society. Many scholars have written countless articles about the subject, and it is the center of many horror films made today. However, when the conversation turns to torture in times of war, the subject matter can become the center of a highly rigorous debate. This is an issue that is of great significance for society today and is something that should be brought to everyone’s attention for several moral and ethical reasons. Torture is discussed in a variety of different forms, from fiction to research, and should be examined for its authenticity.

“In some circumstances, though, our only real choice, in terms of both national security and moral consequences, will be between controlled and uncontrolled torture. We gain nothing by pretending differently. In the struggle against deadly terrorism, some of world's most civilized democracies are themselves unwilling to shrink from doing what they think is necessary. Such are the times in which we live.

Great paper. Good content and vocabulary. paper uses strong transitional phrases and has good organization. Good job researching authors credentials and citing sources. The only thing the paper needs is a good strong conclusion to wrap everything up. Paper ends with analysis of an article and not a conclusion. Other than that, awesome paper.

The only case where this could be debated is if the author were a victim of torture or they did it themselves, in which case would place them on a personal level with the topic.

A great example of logos is employed in another authors stance on torture. The logical approach is as follows,“A Since (1)just combat-killing is total destruction of a person, (2)torture is- usually-only partial destruction or temporary incapacitation of a person, and (3)the total destruction of a person is a greater harm than the personal destruction of a person is, thenB since (4)just combat-killing is a greater harm than torture usually is; (5)just-combat killing is sometimes morally permissible (6)torture is sometimes morally permissible” (Shue 125).

Overall, paper has good content and organization. All the references were used correctly and good points were made. The only things to work on are getting the paper out of 1st person, and using stronger transitions.
