Two Different Argumentative Essay Topics

Two Different Argumentative Essay TopicsThere are two main types of argumentative essay topics, Julius Caesar and Marcus Cicero. These two famous and highly respected Roman oratorical orators would never actually put their opinions on the paper but would rather debate and undermine the subject of the essay.Julius Caesar was the most famous and notorious Roman general of his time and he did not possess a great many witty anecdotes and quips but he did his research well and wrote a number of political and military essays. He was also the inventor of the most famous line in the Roman lexicon, 'the fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars but in yourself.' Another interesting fact about Julius Caesar is that he had very little political experience.He became the leader of his own army when he was only twenty-one years old and rose through the ranks to become the commander of Rome's legions. The reason for this article is that Caesar was a philosopher by profession and he believed that phil osophy was an essential part of being a good commander. He did not believe in war as a form of entertainment and therefore did not create much entertainment by himself. Caesar wrote a number of eulogies and epigrams which he made into a poem entitled 'Arsen,' which is pronounced as 'Horns.'Caesar argued many of his points in poetic and even humorous passages, but he was quite passionate about his views and he would never compromise on anything that he thought was right. He was regarded as a dictator by the Romans who he personally led his armies into battle against.Julius Caesar was an eloquent writer, orator and writer and he was also quite liberal in his politics. When he was overthrown by his own soldiers, Caesar formed the senate as a new political entity to rule over Rome. However, it was during his reign as emperor that he introduced laws and he really did not like laws.Sophocles wrote one of the most popular pieces of literary work in history when he wrote a play called 'The Ajax Incident.' In this play, the character Ajax is a young man who is described as having his leg broken by a Trojan who was sent by the god of war Aphrodite. When the actor was asked about the incident, he said that it was in fact an act of aggression.Sophocles believed that words were extremely powerful weapons and that a man could only control and decide his fate with the use of his mind. He was also an accomplished poet and essayist. His best work was 'Oedipus Rex' which dealt with the tragic fate of Oedipus.The Greek philosopher and orator Socrates was famous for being the first person ever to be put to death by hanging in Greece. Socrates wrote several philosophical essays, and he believed that the basis of wisdom and truth was honesty. Socrates wrote a series of essays and eulogies which he called the Apology, the Oedipus Recollection, the Symposium and the Republic.
