topic proposal

The topic for my proposal is to get more healthier places to eat on campus. I think a good solution is to add more places on campus that provide a healthier choice of food like fresh fruits and vegetables, good protein and whole grains. The problem with this is the cost. If there is to be healthier food on campus the more the food will cost on campuses. Students would have to pay more money to be able to get this. In some surveys freshman students fear gaining the freshman 15, which goes to show we need healthier food.

Proposal Arguement Assignment

       I think the purpose of assignment 4 is to help us write a proposal to help us solve problems and using data and surveys to back up our ideas. It's a good way to use data in an argument. I think this assignment is pretty clear. I am confused about how to write this paper exactly. It says that we need a cover letter and an actual name of someone, I don't understand why we need that.

proposal arguement

1. A practical proposal propose an action to solve some kind of local or immediate problem. For example, if there is a problem with flooding in a certain are they would have to make action to stop it. A policy proposal is in which problems affecting the common good. For example, is to try to stop pollution so we can breathe healthier air.

2. The three main phases of a proposal argument is the description of the problem, proposed solution and justification for the proposed solution. When describing a problem you want to call attention to the reader to the problem. You want to describe the problem with anecdotes or statistics. The next phase is to explain a solution. It's good to stress the usefulness of your solution. You want to use step by step methods of finding a solution to win the audience over. You also need to show that the solution will solve the problem partially or wholly.

3. A. Marijuana should be legalized because it is a natural plant that does not affect your health compared to normal cigarettes.
   d. Violent video games should be illegal because kids play these games and it could make them think they can do it in real life and that is ok to do that to people.

Causal Arguement outline

Rebecca Scheper

Introduce the issue and state your claim:

·       Teen rebellion is increasing and it is very problematic because more kids are running away, killing themselves, getting into drugs. We need to realize how to stop this

·       With this issue, more kids are getting involved in things that are not good for them. One big thing is drugs and alcohol and breaking the law in general

·       My claim for this paper is about why teenagers rebel against their parents. What causes their motives to do that

Propose relative contributions of different cause of phenomenon or importance of different consequences:

·       One cause for this rebellion is teenagers want to be independent. They want to make their own decisions and not follow what their parents tell them to do. They want to do the complete opposite of what their parents want them to do

·       Another cause is they want to feel more grown up. They want to try to be more grown up so they experiment with different things. They want to do stuff that older people do.

·       Another cause is the teen rebelling wants to themselves from childhood dependency on parental approval for always being the good child.

Respond to objections to argument:

·       There aren’t any objections

Conclusion:

·       Rebellion is common among adolescents and teens. They do it out of independent and just wanting to grow up and because they are tired of being sheltered or known as the “good child”

·       This is problematic because its leading to suicide from drugs or alcohol and criminal activity too

 

Casual Arguement 3 Analysis

1. I think the purpose of this paper is to be able to express how we feel towards different topics and use facts and other information to support the idea your trying to show. Another purpose is to help us learn to persuade people about our opinions about certain topics with facts that make sense to really see our view on the topic. I think some statements that could be added to make it more clear is maybe giving an example of an article to show us the format and a good way to write it. Also to show more topics to choose from and which one's to not do. I am not confused about this paper. I understand everything in it.

Casual Arguement examples and questions

1. I believe that both writers do have enough evidence to support their claim. In the first article it talks about how poverty is also influenced by early childbirth or dropping out of school. They use good facts to back up there claim. They also use examples to help support it too. It also explains how getting married can get you out of poverty because you will most likely have a job when married and have kids that you can take care of. It also uses articles and places that say facts about how marriage can limit poverty. The next article is about roommate and how they are no longer truly random. He doesn't use much facts about how it is getting rid of randomness. He talks more about his own story about what happened. He does have support from other people like professor's. I think he does include enough support.

4. The one that I found more persuasive to me was the one about randomness. I like this one more because it was more interesting to me than the other one. I think it had enough evidence to support the main point and now that I read it, I totally agree with what he is saying in it. The other one is good to, but I feel like its more of just facts instead of personal stories which I don't find very interesting.

Casual Arguements

1. One type of casual argument is speculations about possible causes. If something bad happens like a robbery. Police officers have to find the causes. The second one is arguments for an unexpected or surprising cause. Sometimes people try to persuade readers to see the reasoning behind a surprising cause. The third one is predictions of consequences. This predicts the consequences of a current or planned actions or events.

2. One is Violent TV shows could have caused the death of people because it shows ways of killing people on the shows. Another one is, The magazine Covergirl has caused girls starve themselves because the models in the pictures are too skinny.

3. Induction is when we infer general conclusions based on a limited number of specific cases. One example is that Bob is a teacher and all of the teachers are friendly, that must mean that Bob is friendly too. Another example is Sam is a swimmer. All swimmers weigh more than 120 pounds, that means that Sam weighs more than 120 pounds.

Evaluation Arguement paper

Introduction:

         "Divergent" is a movie that everyone in the young adult age knows about. It is full of action and romance and is an exciting movie. It attracts young adults because it is like other movies like "Harry Potter" and "The Hunger. Games." I think this movie has some different about. It is full of action. There is action in every scene and it's just an exciting movie. There is also a little bit of romance to fit in to it. All the actors did a fantastic job and the plotline is great. It is a little confusing at times, but it is pretty easy to follow. Most every young adult who has seen this movie has loved it!

Assignment reviews of movies

1. For the first one the category is how the movie "The Matrix" is suspenseful. The criteria that goes along with uses examples of how it is suspenseful. It uses scenes that were used in the movie and explained how it was suspenseful. It also talks about how the movie was well written and uses a quote to prove how memorable the line is. I think they this person used good relevance. They had the right information for what they were talking about. I think the fairness is not very good because at the end he talks about how other sci-fi movies are crap which wasn't very nice to say.

2. This review's category focuses on pathos. It explains how much emotion this movie brings to the audience and explains several examples of where and how it brings emotion to the audience. The examples do explain pathos and the relevance is good. The fairness of the review is good. It doesn't say much that is rude, its pretty fair too me.

3. This review is about how the movie is not made well. The review explains all the negative things about it and gives examples of how it had too many details and it was confusing which is pretty relevant with how the movie is not very good. The fairness of it was ok. It wasn't mean at all. The review was just explaining how its not that good of movie. It does not say mean stuff about the movie just the basic stuff that can go wrong with movies.

Cultural Artifact

            I'm going to do my argument on the movie, "Divergent." This movie got mixed reviews that are both half good and half bad. Some people thought that this movie was bad because all the actors were flat and the movie was not like the book. Although some people said it was good too. People said that they liked the plot and meaning of the movie and the actors did a great job. This movie is availed in both book and on DVD.

Assignment 2

      I think the purpose of assignment 2 is to help us make a fair argument about a certain topic without being rude about it. I think another purpose is just to help our skills on making an argument. I thought that everything on the assignment was clear and I understood it all. The only thing I was confused about was whether if we have to have the book or movie to be able to write about it.

Evaluation arguments

1. In the chapter it talks about category. In an evualtion  essay there is a category that is given. The criteria is what you use to support the category and what you go off of. There is a process I criteria that is explained in the book that you follow. For example if I have food as a category, the criteria has to be specific like a specific category like Mexican food. Then you need to think about the purpose of this type of food like it should be spicy or it always has salsa with the food.

2. One show that I used to watch was "Pretty Little Liars."  The specific category it would go in would be drama because it has a lot of drama in it. Then the purpose of this show is too entertain people who are watching it and telling people it's not good to lie because there is always consequences.

3. The weight of a criteria means that you have to equal out the weight of things and base it on the category. For e


xample with the tv show I explained earlier there could be another show that was less entertaining but showed that lying is very wrong and to never do it. So then you would have to pick the best choice.

4. A categorical evaluation is more based on common ideas and not as personal. An ethical evaluation is based on moral and the rights you believe in.

5. I think that in Christopher Moore's essay is he is using ethical evaluation because he's talking about his right about the newspapers and what he thinks personally about them. He in each paragraph he does have a category like how he says the satires point out absurdities and then he explains his purpose based on his ethical views.

6.  I think this essay is a multi-sided argue meant because he talks about other view like how college students don't read the news an he is trying to explain why they should read and listen to it. He is responding to their objections and that's what a multi-sided argument is.

7. One opposing view he has is about how inconsistent news reports can be. I think that he is refuting it because some people believe all the news they are, but a lot if times it's not.he is doubting what people are saying so that means he is refitting it.

Responding to objections

1. A one sided argument presents the writer's issue on the issue without summarizing or responding to other viewpoints. The kind of audience for this would be one that is supportive. A multisided argument presents the writer's position, but does summarize and responds to objections and other views. This kind of audience would be both opposed and supportive it just depends on what side of the argument you like better. A dialogic argument where the writer presents himself as uncertain and the audience is considered a partner in the dialogue and the writer is trying to find common ground to find a solution. This would be an audience that's mostly supportive.

2. A one sided argument can affect the writer's use of ethos, pathos and logos because it is from only one side. I feel like there would be a lot of ethos because it focuses on what the writer's feels about the subject he or she is writing about. Also it will have good credibility since it is from one source. Multisided and dialogic arguments will effect the appeals of them too because there are many emotions and different sources of credibility of what the writer is trying to say.

3. When you refute an opposing view you try to convince the readers that the argument is flawed, has bad support, or based on incorrect assumptions. In this view you can rebut the writer's stated reason and basis, the writer's warrant and support. or both. An example of this in the paper is when the writer disagrees with the point that the First Place is too expensive, but she argues that it's expensive because students are at risk for bad habits so its really saving the students. Conceding to an opposing argument is that you switch the field of values shown by the writer you disagree with to a different field of values more favorable to your position.

4. In paragraph 3 Hamilton uses the example of citing counterexamples and countertestimony to back up her argument. She does this because she asks another person who also know about First Place and gave their view on it in agreement with what she argues.

5. A delayed thesis argument assumes an exploratory approach to a subject.  It's appropriate to use it when you have views that the audience may not like so you decided to slowly show your point instead of stating them right away.

6. A Rogerian argument works to change the writer as well as the reader. It helps solve differences. It's a way to see an issue sympathetically from another person's perspective. The kind of audience is people who typically agree with what the writer is saying, they have the same values as the writer.

7. I feel like the argument is multi sided because he gives many people's views on skateboarding instead of just his. He tells us other people's viewpoints about us. I also think that this is a classical argument also.

8. One example that he concedes with is when he talks about how it was nice of people to make skate parks for them to skate at, but he does not like that they are always crowded and not made right. An example of a refuting argument is when he explains how people say skateboarders are criminals or antisocial, but he argues and says that they are normal people, they just found a cool way to use cement to make it more fun.

Advertisements

• smoking convinces people to stop smoking because of the facts he put on the ad
• smoking appeals to  pathos because the text on the advertisement tells people exactly what smoking does
• smoking appeals logos very well because the text on the ad is very logical and it is stuff that can happen to you from smoking
• This ad can relate to teens and to adults because it involves bunnies and it is not as dark as some other ads that have to do with smoking

• This advertisement appeals to pathos because the girl in the picture seems to be happy about the product and that it works well
• This advertisement appeals to ethos because the product is Covergirl and that is a very trustworthy brand
• This advertisement does not really appeal to logos because there are not many facts about the product
• This advertisement provokes happiness and convinces people to get it because it is picture of a celebrity so more people will want to get it  

• This advertisement appeals to pathos because it is a sad emotion, it wants to prevent child abuse from happening
• This ad appeals to ethos because it is part of a group called CAPA which is a credible source
• This ad appeals to logos because it does include facts about how many children are abused
• This ad shows people the serious side of child abuse and how it needs to be stopped

assignment 1 Ad analysis

The purpose of the assignment 1 ad analysis is to help learn how logos, pathos and ethos can relate to everyday life. It also helps understand those more clearly. It helps us use our critical thinking skills and use them in the media. One thing that could be added to make it more clearer is an example of an ad that could be used and how to show how pathos, logos and ethos are used in it. I am just confused on how to organize and put this paper together. I don't understand how to find an ad and do a 2 page paper on it.

Question:
Define Kairos: doing something at a right time or an appropriate time
An example is if you want to try out for a team sport and you see the sign up sheet , but decide not to sign up then, but later that day you want to do it, but the sign up sheet is full. Now you won't be able to sign up because you missed the opportunity and the right time to make the decision.

2. Questions on pg. 178
There are no questions on pg. 178!

3. Questions on pg. 191
1(a) In most of the pictures the setting in the background is in nature and in different kinds of nature like water and land. Another thing I notice is in most of the pictures, the people are not directly looking at the camera. In the picture of president Obama its a close up of him because he is important and he must be saying something important.
1(b) The picture 9.12 seems to show an argument that he is good at windsurfing and some people might not think that, but there is a picture now. In picture 9.13 the argument seems to be that when you are president people usually think that you are in a uniform the whole time and in an office. This photo proves that is not always like this. Its the same with picture 9.14 too. In picture 9.15 the president seems to be talking about something and it could be an argument that is going on presently.

Professor Hem Paudel 

    In this argument by Gordon he wants to not take algebra because his field of study is law. For law school he will never use algebra so there is no need to take it. If I were to read this document that he made with his reasons I would probably grant it.
   Some of the reasons of why I would allow it is because he makes good support for what he is arguing. He is not really implying anger in what he is saying. He is being respectful to the people he is giving this too. It also states the real argument and not the pros and cons of the taking the class. He clearly states the reasons that he doesn't need too take that class. He great reasons to back up his argument saying that he had the highest grade in his class and that he worked as a manufacture and had to create creative designs. I would grant his argument because he has great personal support.
