I recently received my score report back for the November SAT, and I’m curious what others think of my essay. Personally, I know that I am capable of much better writing. Please grade it out of 6. It would be great to hear what you received on your SAT essay as well.
**I know that the marriage clerk’s name was Kim Davis, but I completely forgot on the day of the test and I had to improvise. Also, my economics argument is majorly flawed.
Prompt: Are emotionally based opinions worthy of respect?
Respect is a coveted value, but emotionally based opinions are not worthy of it. Although zealous opinions indicate passion, they are logically flawed. Often times, emotionally based opinions are inherently mistaken, as is the case with the rejection of the theory of evolution, Jennifer Smith of Kansas, and recent anti-austerity measures in Greece.
The rejection of the theory of evolution is an erroneous viewpoint of many people. People deny the theory of evolution beause of their religious beliefs, which in turn cause them to filter their sense of logic. The theory of evolution has been proven in numerous instances, most recently with the discovery of a new hominid species in Nigeria. Because religion rebuffs the fact that humans evolved from apes, Darwinian evolution is often wrongly rejected.
Jennifer Smith, a Kansas marriage clerk, allowed her emotions to dominate her decision of giving a marriage license to a gay couple Her emotionally charged decision to deny a gay couple marriage was not only illegal but immoral. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling, which stated that gay marriage was a ubiquitous right in every state, was violated in Smith’s decision. Smith made a choice based on emotion and her personal beliefs that led her to be suspended from her job.
Finally, recent anti-austerity measures in Greece exhibit the fiscal irresponsibility of the nation. By sustaining exclusively from loans from the European Union, the nation of Greece will never be financially independent. Anti-austerity measures were implemented due to pure sympathy for Greek civilians. Although the Greek people were suffering, the decision to take out another loan by President Tsiprias caused the Greek economy to plummet, affecting Greece’s long-term stability.
Emotionally based opinions often lead to rash decisions, as is the case with the rejection of Darwinian evolution, Jennifer Smith, and anti-austerity measures in Greece.
