What I have learned in 1020

From January to May, 1020 has taught me alot. Arguing with a suitable claim as well as researching information is more than just a paper to me. It is more like a requirement or rather an asset for later on in life. After struggling in the beginning I finally realized what the main objective of the class was, proving whether you agree or not and why, simple as that. But, for some reason I made things more complicated, with not really choosing a side and sticking to it. However, I now know how to prove or maybe choose a resourceful argument and bring out the point to where even the reader would be provoked to claiming my side as well. English comp. 1020 has really transitioned me greatly and now that I know what I didn't know I won't go back. Thanks to a very patient and understanding teacher Melissa Simms!

Templates for Agree and Disagreeing

Disagree: I think Andrea Hamblin is mistaken because she overlooks the fact teens are going to continue teasing and spreading rumors against others.

Agree:
I agree that social sites produce an even greater chance for more harmful acts to take place becasue of my experience of trying to reconnect with an old an classmsate confirms it.


Agree to Disagree:
Although I agree with Thomas Billitteri that social networks being "social bullying" platforms up to a point, I cannot accept his overall conclusion of  banning adults away from any social site.

Entertaining Objections: Yet some readers may challenge my view that Facebook and Twitter have become a little bit to exposed to not just users but non-users as well. After all many believe that these two sites are remarkbly conformed with foul usage. Indeed my own argument that tagging and posting foul videos has gotten out of hand seems to ignore the media and creator of these sites.

Paraphrasing Exercising

Back in the twenties or shall I say the Jazz Age drinking was not tolerated according to an old tale that most people ignored for the reason there was a particular “juke joint” where this type of action could go on. Having not being so strict on crime, police officers gave the attention for misbehavior, but most crimes were not seriously enforced. Being that it was the “Jazz Age” that type of music hit a widespread all over the area. The favorites of them all Louis Armstrong flaunted around as the great musicians of all times, not just because the singing but also the fashion from the ladies.

NO MERCY RESPONSE!

In response to Malcolm Gladwell’s essay, I think that the issue that took place should have because if the issue had never been written about we would not have the strict rules or non-tolerance we have today. The fact that Gladwell took out the time to say what the graduate student’s actions were promotes the security and the awareness of what prompted the student to go forth with the issue. Gladwell says that spending time with a psychiatrist may have been a good idea, but the issue goes far beyond a mental problem or disorder. The essay specifically stated that, at that moment in the student’s life he was going through a lot and could have just possibly needed attention. He was forced to do something that he apparently did not like nor did he agree to take any part of it.  Gladwell says in today’s society there is a zero tolerance level for minor behavior, something as small as telling a destructive kid to do the opposite. As a supporter of this essay, Malcolm Gladwell took a big step in publishing this essay so that not just college students, but so everyone could be aware of such a severe situation. Gladwell makes this seem as if the issue was promotable but at the level a punishment should be both cautious and notable. I say that the student a break, clearly he was in a bad place at the wrong time and again he needed attention and maybe just a little bit of encouragement as well as enthusiasm. But, as for the football quarterback, no mercy he was a aware of the severity and the amount that he was being paid, no mercy for him.

Preliminary Research on Facebook and Video/Tag Posts

The research that I am currently doing deals specifically with a video posting of a young teenage girl who was exposed through the act of bullying and nonconsensual sex. During the filming of the video she was unaware of what was going on behind her or who was watching so she claimed. This type of accusation and stage of bullying forced outsiders/viewers to watch and either support her or degrade her. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube clearly allows users to automatically post videos without some kind of consent or warning. But, the posting is not what kills the users it’s the tagging of someone’s name or profile that causes such a disturbance and a turns into a tantrum. For instance, I watched a YouTube video for entertainment, and the video conductor seriously expressed how he felt about being tagged in unknown videos or pictures that he had never heard of, surprisingly people that he didn’t know and still fails to know who they are today. My point here is that tagging is becoming too explicit; sure any person should be able to post a video for entertainment, but without harming the viewers or the video participants. This summons the amount of preliminary research that I will continue to go forth with.

Claims

How do you catch a rapist who scores every time? You may wonder why the same issues take place, perhaps in a different city but the same charge and sometimes a different person. But, in large cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles that type of access seems to be a bit easier to handle, that is access to reach to certain females on a daily basis. It’s typical that the dirty minds of these individuals are never studied or really thought of as to why being a rapist is so normal. Raping has now become a necessity or rather an access code for life. In other words if a rapist does this a couple of times and doesn’t get caught he is likely to score again whether he is prompted to or not.

Why is there restricted access on Employers computers? (i.e. State Department of Education)

What we Have Learned So Far?

Thus far, English Comp. 1020 has taught me how open up my writing to a much more broader and essential tone. My choice of “Games and Society” was an experimental decision and I must say that arguing back and forth about games and the Internet’s risky ways has really brought on a challenge. In the beginning, we started off we an analysis based on reading different articles/books of our choice and then debate, but at the same time analyze or prove the point on why the particular topic of debate stands out so well. During that type of analysis we were asked to optionally follow the TRACE method and this method does not exemplify as any old helpful source, but rather as guidance for the writer and the reader. The TRACE method simply breaks down as T, R, A, C, E which eludes as the importance of the text, reader, author, constructive and not really sure what the E stands for. This method was created to organize paragraphs, distinguish the differences and similarities between the writer and the author, and to prompt the writer to define the eloquence and details within the article/book. Here now approaching the middle of the semester, the second paper was a difference from the previous analysis. For instance, if the writer supported the author, they were to do the opposite by exploring or bringing out the conducive parts in an argument. Comparing and contrasting was the expectation with the optional choice of using “he says, she says, I say, and they say” examples to prove the valid point of opinion.
