Question Answered step-by-step Problem: Each question in this exercise set provides a summary of… Problem: Each question in this exercise set provides a summary of an argumentative essay. Write one to three sentences that you could use to begin each essay. Example: The U.S. Congress passed a new rule allowing members to bring smartphones, tablet computers, and other electronic devices into the House of Representatives. When they are in the House chambers, representatives should be devoting their full attention to the business at hand, not to checking their email, reading unrelated news, or booking their next plane ticket home. Thus, it is a bad idea to allow electronic devices, such as smartphones, into the House of Representatives. —-Most people have grown accustomed to others constantly tapping away at handheld electronics, but you might hope that the hallowed halls of Congress would be a different story. A recent change in Congressional rules, however, means that the glow of smartphones and the tap-tap of keyboards may soon fill the House of Representatives.  Q1.If you think that buying lots of stuff will make you happy, you’ll always be disappointed. No matter what you buy, you’ll quickly become used to having it, and then you’ll move on to wanting something else. Therefore, it’s foolish to think that you can buy your way to happiness.Q2.In most jurisdictions, a person accused of killing someone can only plead self-defense if they were unable to retreat or escape from their attacker. Florida’s Stand Your Ground law does away with this restriction, making it legal for any person to use lethal force to defend themselves or others. The law was meant to protect ordinary citizens. Police officers should be held to a higher standard than the average, untrained civilian. Therefore, StandYour Ground laws should not apply to police officers who kill someone in the line of duty. They should be governed instead by existing policies for the use of force by law enforcement.Q3.When we empathize with someone who is suffering, we experience suffering ourselves. That can motivate us to relieve their suffering. When we think carefully about the best way to relieve their suffering without causing more problems further down the line, empathy can lead us to do good or even heroic things. Forinstance, a classic study by Samuel and Pearl Oliner found that empathy explains why some people helped rescue strangers from the Holocaust while others stood by and did nothing. Thus, empathy is a powerful force for good in the world.Q4.Presentation software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, is often used badly. PowerPoint’s pre-built templates, cheesy clip art, and time-wasting animated transitions encourage people to create bad presentations. The result is that people come to hate PowerPoint because they hate the presentations that people make with PowerPoint. Well-done PowerPoint presentations, however, can be an effective communications tool. People should learn to use PowerPoint well, rather than dismissing it outright.Q5.Assume for the moment that everything that happens is completely determined by the laws of nature and the state of the world at some time in the past. Assume also that we cannot be responsible for something if we could not have prevented it from happening. Given these assumptions, it follows that none of us are responsible for anything we have ever done. For our assumptions entail that everything that we do is completely determined by thelaws of nature and the state of the world before we were born. Since we can’t change either the laws of nature or the way the world was before we were born, we couldn’t have prevented ourselves from doing anything that we’ve actually done.  Thanks!!
