Stephen Arnold argues that society has become one that is selfish and self-centered. People are quick to judge others for their opinions, whether it be pro-life or pro-choice, religious people, successful people, etc. I disagree with Arnold's statement because it is way too overgeneralized and a lot of the things he said made me question his ethos. For example, he posits that people are quick to judge those who are pro-life as a "woman-hating neanderthal". I felt like that was a biased statement and that he didn't really have a right to say that seeing as he is a man. Also, he states that marijuana "takes away ambition and drive" but didn't provide any evidence to back up the statement.
