This week, you are learning that effective arguments talk about the types of people and activities that society values. The way we all live in the year, 2009, differs radically from past times. Now, we have more technology, people live more efficient lives, and our country wants to remain competitive and keep progressing. Arguments that guarantee or promise such progress and efficiency usually cause people to listen! Consider which one of the following two people is more impactful, may benefit society more, and produces better results (I.e., the type of results society values in the twenty-first century):
1. Robert Pattison
(born may 13, 1986) is an English actor, model, and musician. He is best known for playing Edward Cullen in the film adaptation of Twilight, based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer, and for the role of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
2. Ms. Therapy
Ms. Therapy is married with two kids. She is forty-seven years old. She works as a physical therapist, helping accident survivors to both regain use of their muscles and return to normal lifestyles.
Listserv Discussion Question Two (PLEASE RESPOND):
You have to select one of these two people: Robert Pattison or Ms. Therapy. The person you select to keep remains both in your life and on this planet. In contrast, you or anyone else may never again enjoy/use the person that you do not select. He/she ceases to exist, and nobody knows about him/her. Which person do you select and why?

I would choose Ms.therapy because if i were to get into a car crash and not be able to walk agian i would not call Robert Pattison to help me with that kind of problem. Ms.therapy would know what muscles are not working and what kind of excerise or therapy i need to be able to walk again. She would also know what actions i shoudl take to be able to walk again
I would choose Ms. Therapy instead of chosing Robert Pattison. I would choose her for the fact she seems to have more experience with the world connecting to people with in society hepling them to heal. As with Robert can only offer acting skills which will not be as good as someone with a family and a heart for helping people.

Based on the twenty first century ways of thinking i would have to choose Robert Pattison. I dont really agree with my decision because Mrs. Therapy has a better impact in society! She brings more benefit to the world then an actor will. For example, an actor is in society to entertain people while a therapist has a more important role. A therapist is more useful then an actor. They are there when someone are having issues in their lives and when someone needs a little boost in their life! In another hand an actor is their to make movies and keep many adults, teens and children interested in what their producing. For instance, Robert Pattison is a huge icon in society today. Who doesnt know his face or hasnt seen the movie Twilight. I will definetely have to go with Mrs. Therapist because her role has a better importance then an actor.
Of the two I would choose Ms.therapy because she has more value to society they an actor. Also she is a mother of two so she is helping raise the future of America. She can raise a doctor or an educator. In addition to her value she is a therapist that can aid someone if injured whether it be a very important person or not it still increases the chance of people living longer because when injured they can go through a speedy recovery with Ms.Therapy. An actor really isn't helping the youth or being benificial to society other then entertainment. Therefore I would rather have Ms. Therapy and loose the actor forever.
Honestly I would have to choose Ms.Therapy and get rid of Robert Pattison. Ms Theropy not only offers more to the community,but she also contributes to inhancing others lives. People are always in need of guidance,Care, and consideration. A push to live out their lives in happiness. Robert can not help with that. He is a lowsy actor who can entertain peo-ple,but not really help them.
If i were to choose between Robert pattison or Ms therapy i would want Ms therapy to continue to exist. Robert is a legacy and very important, but he is only important to teenagers. The world would be a better place without all the screaming teenagers just to hear his name. for example a student in AGl goes crazy just by listening to the first three letters of his name, sometimes the teachers have to stop class just so that she could regain her focuse. Without Robert teachers would not have to stop class and would not have screaming girls all over the place. Ms Therapy in the other hand wouldbe helping people to ragain what they had once.
Between Ms.Therapy and Robert Pattison, I would personally have to go with Ms.Therapy. The reason why I chose Ms.Therapy is because, god forbid, if something happens to someone, Robert wouldn't help heal the person and he wouldn't know the the process of helping a person get better. Ms.Therapy is able to help you heal, and prescribe u with whatever it is you need in order to feel better. All Robert Pattison is doing is entertaining us. I do agree with Kathy when she stated he is there to keep us entertained on his acting skills and whatever entertainment he has produced. But even so, Ms.Therapy has a huge role on society then Robert.
If I had to choose between Ms. Therapy and Robert Pattison I would definatly choose Ms. Therapy because, lets say for instance I get in a car accendent, I wouldnt call Robert Pattison to help me recover I would call Ms. Therapy. Why would I call Robert Pattison how would he help me? Ms. Therapy is a licensed therapist who knows the right techniques and has the right skills to help heal those who been injured in serious accidents. Robert Pattison would be useless to me if I got into a car accident, or any other accident that required me to need physical help.
Ms. Therapy has proven to be more impactful and more beneficial to society. Ms. Therapy has a better occupation that can be useful. Ms. Therapy's job can help people overcome stress and surpass muscle pain. Ms. Therapy is also a mother. Ms. Therapy's motherly ways can help influence independence. Overall, Ms. Therapy's skills can be most plesing in this twenty-first century.
I would keep Ms. Therapy instead of Robert Pattison because Ms. Therapy is more valuable in the way people live life today. Entertainment is cool to watch but it does not solve much problems. Ms. Therapy can help the elderly or people in general who have severe injuries. Ms. Therapy can keep people functional and motivated. Robert Pattison's entertainment is only temporary, Ms. Therapy can get people back into stable condition, which is permanent.
Except for Katherine, all of my students feel that a physical therapist (a type of doctor) benefits society more than an entertainer, such as Robert Pattison. Although doctors possess the rare education and talent to help people rebound from states of depression and injury, entertainers actually perform the same crucial service. Take the following example. A woman suffers a stroke and loses muscle movement on one side of her body. Her family arranges for her to stay in a hospital and receive physical therapy. At first, the woman does not even try her exercises. Depression overwhelms her. Then, she sees the movie, Twilight, on television. The actor, Robert Pattison inspires her. She becomes motivated, enthusiastic, and completes her therapy in an aggressive manner. Economists and scholars label arguments that promise value as level two arguments (B.P. 9) Actors make people laugh and do add value to people's lives, however they also inspire people to make changes and lead better lives. This type of activity goes along with level three arguments (B.P. 9). For this reason, I would keep Robert Pattison and terminate the physical therapist. The debate has nothing to do with the crazy pop-culture obsessions of teenagers!
Robert Pattison or Ms.Therapy? Logically, the best person to choose is Ms. Therapy. Ms. Therapy brings the world the ability to work faster after being in an accident. There are many ways to be entertained with out Robert Pattison, such as, reading, writing, or playing sports. Even though time has changed over the years, Ms. Therapy is the person that can bring people back from despair and give them the strength to go on with their lives. Progress is a key essential to life. That's what Ms. Therapy brings to our society.
Between both Robert Pattison and Ms. Therapy, I would choose Robert Pattison. I would choose him, because he is well known andhas been places. If I had the choice of wanting to get some place in the world I would want Robert Pattison to help me, because he has a wide variety of people he knows and that can get me to the places I would want to be. Why should I choose someone that is unknown. So if I had the choice of choosing either one I would want to be with the person that has been seen and heard of no matter what.
I prefer Ms.Therapy instead of Robert Pattison for these reason. Ms.Therapy best qualified as a great help to our lives, because she works in physical therapist that help survivors on their accidents. By doing this it help regain the use of muscles, and return to normal lifestyles. In the twenty-first century people are more depended on successful person that are a reliable source for help. As for Robert Pattison he can only provide enjoyment into our lives, but when it comes to situation Robert can not help others, only Ms.Therapy has the experiences to assist us. Overall, that is the reason why I choose Ms.Therapy, because of her experiences.
Between Robert Pattison or Ms. Therapy, the person that I feel be more beneficial to my life is Ms. Therapy. Although Schuman made a great point saying Pattison can inspire someone, Ms. Theraphy can give you the neccesary information on how to get better. If your inspired on getting better but dont know how, how will u get better. Although you should chose someone that will benefit society, at the end of the day it a dog eat dog world and I'm looking out for myself. And if I recommend something or someone for myself then I'd chose that thing/person for society. Actors might make people laugh, add value to people's lives,inspire people to make changes,and lead better lives but who says a physical therapist cannot. A Physical therapist can also do the same for example. Someone who graduated high school but never went to college and working a job that only pays 10/hr. A physical therapist can also inpire someone to go back to school, obtain a couple degrees and become succesful. This type of activity goes along with level three arguments (B.P. 9). For this reason, I would keep Ms. Therapy and terminate Robert Pattison.
I would choose Robert Pattison, he may not have an important role in our society like Ms.Therapy. Robert Pattison is known as an actor he has the ability to have a great impact on many lives and our society. He benefits our society more then Ms.Therapy yes she can help people but only in her area of profession, also she can only benefit people with money. While Robert has more value to more people and our society.
If I were to choose I would pick Ms.Therapy because with so many crazy things happening with the world. For example there has been more accidents happening in the past 10 years than ever before. So with so many people having car the rate is higher to crash. So that is the reason why I would pick Ms.Therapy.
i would choose ms therapy.. thinking logically, you must think what would happen suppose you were to get into an accident. dont get me wrong but amusement is very important, but in case of an emergency, you would depend on ms therapt rather than robert. not only that but ms therapy is much older meaning that she has more experience, knowledge, and intelligence, so she would be able to teach and help others.
Choosing between Robert Pattison and Ms. Therapy is actually very diffucult. Like Mr. Schuman stated they both can serve for the same purpose,but they do it in different ways. I think Ms.Therapy has a very important role in society, and I know a lot of the people she has helped will never forget her. To her patirnts,she is very important because she has helped better their lives. That's very nice of her.But on other hand Robert Pattison is a pop sensation. I would perfer him to help me get better any day. This may sound naive, but its true. I think most people would perfer to get help from somebody famous, whom they have already heard of then getting treatment from Ms.Therapy. Robert Pattison is more important to the world than she is. He is already famous, and honestly her lost would not affect the world as much as the lost of Robert. Robert has influebced the life of many more people than Ms.Theraopy. Personally Robert Pattison has effected my life in many ways. Even though he is not the true Edward Cullen (character he plays in twilight), to me he is. I find that the Twilight story can be very insparational to many teens. If you read the book or even watch the movie, many valuable lessons can be learned. Lessons like, everyone has a place in society. Teens who feel out of place in this world can really look up to this,and learn a lot. Robert Pattison is more importan than Ms.Therapy by a mile stone do to his popularity.
Ms.Therapy is the right choice for anyone who values human life over entertainment. In reality, Robert Patterson is an entertainer who is kept in the society to amuse and entertain while Ms.Therapy is there to help others with people who have suffered horrible accidents. In the middle ages Jesters were often seen entertaining the king and his guests, making the entertainer a luxury rather then a necessity. because in the time of need a doctor (Ms.Therapy) would be there to cure and help. Anyone can be an entertainer, but to acquire such skills as Ms.Therapy requires years of training. In conclusion, Ms.Therapy not only benefits me, but benefits you in the future, stopping future pains become worse.
If i have to choose from Ms.Therapy and Robert Pattison i would definitely go with Ms.therapy. The reason i choose Ms.Therapy over Robert Pattisson is because she has more power into the future. If anything happens to anyone she would have the ability to help them, but Robert Pattison cant do much about it.She brings more impact into the twenty first century then an actor. WHY would you pick a movie or an entertainment over your health.So i would definitely go with MS.Therapy
Ms. Therapy is the winner ! Robert Patterson does me no favor in life, hes useless to me, theres a whole bunch of actors out there, and that can act as a vampire and much more . Ms. Therapy on the ther hand can help me and many other people in life . She helps others with their problems , what does Robert Patterson do ? Make Bella a vampire too ? Oh please hes absolutely pointless he does himself and his family a favor by bringing the acting money home . If he isnt giving me any of that money then he isnt helping at all !
