Boomer Advice Counter Arguments 2019-12-17 | An argument about a particular topic.The Baby Boomer Generation is the generation after World War II; those born between 1946-1964.

The reason for this is because schooling, the job market, and the housing market have dramatically changed since the Boomers were young themselves.

Privilege Counter Arguments 2019-05-14 | According to the Theory of Privilege, everybody is born into different circumstances. And those circumstances make certain outcomes in life more likely relative to those born into different circumstances. Circumstances that render a higher likelihood of a fulfilling life are what's labeled 'Privileges.'The Argument: This is a theory, nevertheless, a fair observation. Certain characteristics make certain outcomes more likely. However, many of the characteristics labeled 'Privileges' are conditional and many of them can be earned (if not already inherited). This is an abstract argument and should not be used to justify any assumptions about an individual.Munk Debate: youtu.be/MNjYSns0op0Buzzfeed Experiment: youtu.be/hD5f8GuNuGQDaily Show Debate: youtu.be/8raaT7SRx18Fallen State Interview: youtu.be/04GQ7D0jwrQ?t=1247Late Show Interview: youtu.be/qffCO1b-7Js?t=329AJ+ Segment: youtu.be/aQK8H0z-irMDr. Phil Segment: youtu.be/rZxMjmcT0cYDavid Webb Interviews Areva Martin: youtu.be/juQLifY4l_0Tiffany Jana TEDx Talk: youtu.be/N0acvkHIiZsVerywell Family Article: verywellfamily.com/children-of-divorce-in-america-statistics-1270390Height & Human Mating: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3546926Pew Research Center: pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-beingTWEET: twitter.com/counterarguingPOST: facebook.com/CounterArgumentsBUY: teespring.com/stores/counterargumentsDONATE: paypal.me/counterargumentsEMAIL: countertheargument@gmail.com
