CJ P.2
Context:
- Malcolm Gladwell claims: "People don't rise from nothing"
- At all levels, our definitions of success vary. Money is a common indicator of success.
- From the start of civilization, success has been important, and how we got there is important, too.
Claim: People don't rise from nothing; instead, rags-to-riches stories are the result of hard work and seized opportunities.
Claim
Agree,
but qualify
Sub-claim: Success come through hard work and dedication.
Perseverance leads people to opportunities that can then lead them to the next step of success.
Hard Work
Casey Neistat
Evidence: Casey Neistat, another example of a large rise in society, explains that hard work is extremely important for what he has done.
Bill Gates
Evidence: Bill Gates, a very successful person, showed dedication and hard work that lead to his success.
Sub-claim: Opportunities are also required for success
In almost every case, success starts when an opportunity (synonymous to advantage) is taken; therefore, opportunities are required for success.
Opportunities
Evidence: White men in history have made the majority of significant discoveries in the past because of their opportunities given to them.
Hidden advantages included:
- Education
- Finances
- Social Status
White men in history
Evidence: Walt Disney's Turning point in success was after the owner of a company lent his cameras to Disney.
Walt Disney
"In rare cases, people can sometimes get very lucky."
Counterclaim/
Limitation
Rebuttal: It is a limitation that there are exceptions to the rule. Sometimes, a person may not work hard or may not be given opportunities, still becoming successful. However, almost all cases involve some type of work and opportunity—big or small.
Conclusion:
The successful person must be a hard worker and must have the right opportunities.
That person rose from something—whether it was more obvious or more obscure.
