4) I did not enjoy the readings from the textbook.
5) I liked the assignment where we had to read 2 position papers and compare the writer’s argument style. This helped me greatly with my own position paper.

Carlin’s credibility comes from his experience as a TedTalk speaker. The limit to his credibility is that he is not a certified environmentalist. Naomi Klein’s Tedtalk would be the most receptive to women because her speech was delivered at Tedwomen. (6/10) #flamm101
George Carlin uses logic to explain that since humanity has not existed long compared to how long the Earth has been around, humans could not have possibly damaged the Earth to the extent everyone believes. (5/10) #flamm101
