Three Disagreements in Current Political or Social Controversy

Three Disagreements in Current Political or Social Controversy
3.3 INSTRUCTIONS & PROBLEM
Identify three disagreements in current political or social controversy that are of the three types described in this section: one that is genuine, one that is merely verbal, and one that is apparently verbal but really genuine. Explain the disagreements in each case.
Genuine Disagreement
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the US, NATO, and the UN opting not to invade or support either group. It was a heated debate, but for the sake of peace and to avoid further escalation, they were not involved even though there was a call for peace and reconciliation.
Merely Verbal
The conversation about climate change and global warming resulting from human factors creates a verbal disagreement. Some believe that global warming does not exist, while others think it is time to take action against the climate crisis.
Verbal but Genuine
The ongoing debate about abortion in America causes a verbal disagreement that can be considered genuine. Children should be born by choice and not chance; thus, laws accommodating both should be formulated. Even though every child should be protected, the health factors of a woman should also be considered.

PROBLEMS

—Jacqueline Du Pre, in Jacqueline Du Pre: Her Life, Her Music, Her Legend (Arcade Publishing, 1999)
The statement violates rule three of being too broad (affects for the good or evil the life of others), which can be perceived as false.
