Description

In a paper, create an argument that evaluates in a negative way essays, books, and/or web sites that advance ideas that most experts in the particular field believe to be false. In other words, you are making a fairly easy argument: what is the truth as most of the world knows it? E.g., There are people who, like Kyrie Irving and others lately somehow, will insist that the world is flat despite the fact that Twitter, as part of the Internet, is utterly dependent on GPS navigation satellites!

To complete the paper, you need at least one outside source. You must quote from this source directly, not just paraphrase/summarize it. Your goal is to show through a careful examination of causes and effects why these false ideas are clearly false despite being bandied about as true.

In short: Evaluate the claims being set out and show why they are fallacious. The idea in question should be utterly, absolutely, without question, ridiculous and false, not in any way up for debate. Perhaps comically so—there are people who believe that the Earth is hollow and that a whole race of beings live there; there are others who insist that the Apollo Moon landings were faked on a sound stage in Hollywood or that the Moon is made of green cheese. Other false ideas are more dangerous—there are many who believe that the Holocaust did not occur, that pseudoscience like “Intelligent Design” should be taught in science classes, or that AIDS was created in a laboratory to destroy groups of people deemed “unacceptable.” Your goal is to write a counter-argument that shows why these ideas are false. The more ridiculous the idea, the better—therefore, do not engage ideas that are being debated or that are not definitively settled—check with me first if you’re not sure about a potential topic.

False Claims on the Source of HIV/AIDS
According to an article written by Heller in 2015, there is a belief that HIV/AIDS was
developed in a government laboratory by whites in America and deliberately introduced to
African Americans and Africans in Africa in the form of immunizations in an effort to get rid of
and wipe out the entire African race. In this case, the virus was a racial weapon against people
with the African descent. The article declares that the social context of the early HIV/AIDS
epidemic in the United States provided fertile ground for rumors about transmission. Today,
however, rumors about HIV/AIDS persist only within the African American public (Heller,
2015).
According to Laura Bogart of the Lancet, this conspiracy is prevalent in the African
American community due to past experiences with the governm...
