Management
Here is my essay topic in argument form.
P1. Many people do not judge managerial qualities equally in men and women.
P2. There are gender differences in managerial style, but they don't add up to evidence that one gender is better than the other.
C. You can not judge the quality of managers based on their gender.
Suggestions? Thoughts?

Grandpa?
So this is kind of like the "a tree falls in a forest, but nobody was there to see it, did it make a sound?" question...
P1. I am my father's daughter.
P2. My father is his father's son.
---
I am the granddaughter of my father's father.
Right? But my father's father died when my father was in his teens. I'm named after him in fact! But because I never met him, what do I call him? Logically and biologically, he IS my grandpa, but since I never met him, I sometimes call him "your dad", "dad's dad" or "Sam". But is that right? Should I call him "grandpa"? What's your opinion?

Schmesier vs Monsanto
I had to write about this for my Microeconomics class. It’s an argument between a farmer and the company Monsanto and their GMO (genetic modified organisms) canola.
P1. The canola was planted in Schmeriser’s neighboring farmers fields after making an agreement with Monsanto (patented).
P2. Because of a storm, the canola got onto Schmeiser’s field and destroyed everything.
P3. Schmeiser did not make an agreement with Monsanto to have any canola on his field.
------------
C. Monsanto can sue Schmeiser for having their canola on his field.
And sue Monsanto did. Even though Schmeiser didn't want the seeds on his field and he didn't willingly let them on the field, Monsanto still sued them. Good news is that Schmeiser came out on top, but more events with the company happened latter. That's another story for another time.
