Aposles of Hatred Find It Easy Find to Spread Their Message
http://www.nazi.org/
1. On what issue is Pitts taking a position, and what is his view? In what ways is the topic controversial (or not), and how might this affect the ways in which various readers might respond to the piece?
In paragraph 4 he is taking a position: "In all, I spent half an hour on nazi.org. It gave me a headache." The last sentence makes me clear about the position of the writer. Pitt explains that websites, T-shirts and other things with this kind of advertisement makes people think in wrong way.
I support his topic and his ideas. He convinces me to believe him and I ready take his position as mine.
2. In paragraph two, Pitts states that he "learned" a number of things from website. What do you think he means by his use of the word "learned", and why?
Pitt just was interested in things that he never read before. He read about this group and its ideas about society.
3. Writers are often encouraged to explore multiple views of an issue before taking a position. Why doesn't Pitts offer a detailed explanation about why he finds the nazi.org website "abhorrent"? What do you think about his choice?
Before Pitts called the nazi.org "abhorrent", he gives us so understandable example that explains his words. This examples showed another and, as for me, bigger and terrible side of this website. His choice is individual and I agree with it.
4. Where does Pitts quote from website in question, and why?
It's in paragraph 15. He clearly and strongly proves his position and condemns the ideology of group and people who want to become part of it.

ch 20 Proposing a Solution
Proposals are prescription for change. As such, they challenge readers to care about broblem, accept a solution, and act on it. A strong proposal offers a logical, practical, and creative argument that leads toward positive change, whether it's defending against terrorism, requiring both men and women to register for the military draft, or adding to the debate on cloning.

ch 19 Persuading Readers to Act
Persuasion is a challenging task, requiring that you convince readers to believe you, rethink their own perspectives, and take a concrete step. In the end, you want them to change their minds and their actions.
In an essay persuading readers to act, you seek to change readers' opinion on a debatable, complex, and timely issue about which you care deeply, such as wise energy policies or the problem of racism.

PERSUASIVE WRITING
"Convince me!" is the reader's cry that lies behind all persuasive writing. Whether you are taking a position on an issue, persuading readers to take action, or proposing a solution to a vexing problem, you are arguing a point in order to persuade readers to accept your claims, with the result that change their own thinking and perhaps even their behavior and actions. In other words, even though each of these forms has a distinctive rhetorical emphasis, all three on foundational strategies for argumentation and persuasion: from making and supporting claims effectively to avoiding logical fallacies.
ch 18 Taking a Position
Writing a position paper gives you the opportunity to take a stand. It's a chance, in other words, to refine what you think and feel, to clarify and deepen your perspective on an issue that you find meaningful.

No age limit
The youth, opens new doors. We try various things, without even realizing the consequences. The very first and the strongest cocktail, which makes our head go round, , forces our heart to bit as if it never existed before, and that first drink will make you happy at first but will bring tragedy in the future.. It's not simply an alcoholic drink, which action stops through couple of hours; it will be in your blood all your life, damaging your brain each time more strongly. You become dependent on it, even the group of AA meetings cannot help you. Components are simple: adrenaline, dopamine, fenylethylamine, endorphin and oxytocin. What is it? The Cocktail of love … or just the recipe for it.
Dopamine
Did you know that when you’re in love, dopamine gives you the same feeling as when you would use cocaine? Every time you see your love, you get a shot of dopamine and it’s addictive. Everyone who has been in love knows they wanted to see the one they were in love with again and again and again.
But when you’re in a relationship for a longer period, let’s say about two years; your body doesn’t produce that much dopamine anymore.
Fenylethylamine
Fenylethylamine is produced in your brain. It has the same effect as speed. Your heartbeat is increasing, you start to breath faster, and the palms of your hands start to sweat, your cheeks get an extra blood flow and you start to feel happier. The pupils of your eyes get bigger. But only when you see something you like.
Endorphin
Endorphin is the morphine that your own body produces when you feel pain. When you’re in love it has the same effects as heroine and opium which cause you to feel more happy and joyful.
Eating fat, chocolate and sugars make you produce more endorphin.
Vasopressin
Vasopressin (also called anti-diuretic hormone) works with your kidneys to control thirst. It have big role in long-term relationships.
Oxytocinis
Oxytocinis also called the mother hormone or cuddle hormone because when a mom breastfeeds her baby, this hormone is produced in large quantities. When you hug or caress this hormone is produced too. It makes you feel connected, takes away fear and makes you feel confident.
Not only has the chemistry interfered here ... something else. No amount of science can erase the wonderful feelings of being in love.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” (Corinthians 13:4-7)
