Communications: Refutation

Description

I need two separate assignments but they are connected together. To be able to do both of them you MUST watch this video:  https://youtu.be/1PiwFCxz6rE Please let me know if the link doesn’t work for you. – For the first assignment I need a position paper, 1 page and these are my professor’s instructions: “Here are a few random arguments. Using the analysis provided in the Refutation Lecture refute them as if you were on the other side of the debate. Remember to follow the structure explained in the lecture and to identify what type of response you are using. Also, pay close attention to the information, I may be lying about something. 😉   1. The Godfather is greatest film of all time because it won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director in 1974 according to the Internet Movie Database.  2. Community College should not be free because it is already so affordable. According to a study done in 1983, community college only costs a couple of thousand dollars.  3. We should not legalize marijuana because everyone knows that people who smoke too much weed are lazy.  These seem simple but spend some time deconstructing every argument. Check for bad info or fallacies. Also, develop your responses. Don’t just give me 1-2 sentences. Explain what the flaw is and why it is bad. Each response should have at least one source!” – For the second assignment I need you to answer these two quiz questions based on the video fully: 1) What is the structure of refutation? Explain each part. 2) What are the 4 types of responses discussed in the lecture. Explain them.  Thank you.
