Post 08: Civil and Courteous Discussion

The thing is with the world and people now these days is everyone has an opinion. While of course most of them do not agree. One person can believe one thing while the other believes the complete opposite. Therefore, it makes situations more difficult, especially when it comes to political matters. When one feels a certain way about a matter, when presented with something that does not align with their opinion, you run into the not so civil and courteous side of people. I have seen the nasty comments people make to each other when their opinions are different. It is absolutely insane in my opinion. But hey that is just another opinion, right? Imagine a law being passed that you are totally against while someone is for it. We have no control over the law and us complaining about it is not going to help matters. It is only going to cause more separation between people. Is it necessary for us as a society to cut down on each other because you believe in something else? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I do believe each person should be about to express that as well BUT I also think we should not be so cruel and hateful about it. So, what I am telling you do is when you are standing for your beliefs on political matters and any matters really consider being civil and courteous when doing so.

    Your post is spot on, it amazes me how people in today's world can react so harshly about any topic or subject especially the political matter, I have seen on social media that people can go as far as doxxing or death threats when people are discussing their opinions.

    It's pretty sad how often well-meaning conversations turn into arguments on the drop of a dime, too. Constructive conversation gets harder and harder to have as we divide further.

Post 10: Does the professional nursing blog fit the blog genre?

We see in the article Navigating Genres by Kerry Dirk the statement of "Let’s consider a genre with which you are surely familiar: the thesis statement." So, to start let us identify if there even is a thesis statement of the professional blog article post. If so, what is the thesis statement? We in the blog post by Sarah Cruzan "It would be nearly impossible to write about the many things I do during my 12-hour shift, but I will try to describe a typical day as a postpartum nurse:" Clearly the blog post does have a thesis statement. It explicitly states that she will be describing a typical day as a postpartum nurse. We also see in the article from Dirk "When approaching a genre for the first time, you likely view it as more than a simple form: “Picking up a text, readers not only classify it and expect a certain form, but also make assumptions about the text’s purposes, its subject matter, its writer, and its expected reader” (Devitt, Writing 12). With the bl...

Post 3:Rosenberg's Strategies for Reading Scholarly Sources

When reading Rosenberg's essay " Reading Games: Strategies for Reading Scholarly Sources" the section "The introduction" is something that I understand and go by. As a reader I was always one to just skim through the introductions and not pay much attention to them. I did not utterly understand the importance of it. Rosenberg states "If the author is doing her/his job well, the introduction will not only summarize the whole piece, present the main idea, and tell us why we should care, but it will also often offer a road map for the rest of the article." (p. 216) The introduction is something that sets the essays up and will give you what you need to understand whatever it may be your reading. The introduction is used to set the tone to the essay. The section in which Rosenberg discusses the title is something that I can use to learn from. Rosenberg states "The title. As obvious as it sounds, pay attention to the title because it can convey a lot...

Post 06: Analyzing The Primary Audience for Academic Paper

  In the article Colorado State University's Writing Guide, it is said "Remember: Analyze your audience BEFORE you start writing, so you'll know what format, style, vocabulary, or level of information is expected." So, I know how important it is that I analyze my college teacher that is the primary audience for my academic paper before I begin writing. The Colorado State University's Writing guide informs us that "Once they know who their audience is, they can mold their advertising--their words, format, graphics, images--to appeal to that specific audience." Knowing that my primary audience is my English college teacher I know exactly who is going to be reading the academic paper. I know that they work in the profession, specifically already knowing how one should write for an audience properly. Therefore, they would hold higher educational standards to be expected when the academic paper is presented to them. I know that I would need to use formal prop...
