Different Attitudes And Views Among Generations

Today's young generation has been getting a lot of slack from older generations due to the amount technology they have. Those who have negative things to say about this generation sometimes say that they're not as smart as the previous generations because of the new technology that is available. Literary critic at the San Francisco Chronicle, Cynthia Haven, argues that the young generation of today has actually written more than any other generation and they insert more passion into what they’re writing about as well. Haven’s purpose in writing about this seems to be to show how much this generation does write compared to what others have said in articles and

Writing is a powerful tool for communication and connection. As an extension and expression of the mind, writing is as much about the mental processes of the author as it is about the final marks laid to paper. As we write, we hold in mind our own thoughts on the work, anticipate the reader’s thoughts, and think both in concrete and abstract ways in order to accomplish the task at hand. Whether an academic research paper, a novel, or text message to friends, writing seeks to engage, persuade, or impress concepts upon an audience. Like language and other art forms in general, the practice of writing is ever-evolving and is subject to cultural and contextual influence, expectations, and conventions. Each writer holds a theory

There is a fine quote which goes as follows. “I am the sum of everyone I have ever met.” I believe that the development of a person’s writing style is best explained by that quote. As students of writing, in which anyone who writes down a thought is, we pull influences from writing from all around us. This is what Roz Ivanič calls the Autobiographical self. She explains, this “aspect of identity is associated with a writer 's sense of their roots, of where they are coming from, and that this identity they bring with them to writing is itself socially constructed and constantly changing as a consequence of their developing life-history:”(Ivanič 3). Most people take their writing styles from the books they read or articles from newspapers, magazines, or websites. The reason for why everyone doesn’t write the same way is that each person is exposed to different styles and forms from different influences, or as Ivanič implies, through sources and events over a course of their lifetime. Over time, a person is exposed to different influences that change their writing styles in some way. That is why if you looked at a single person’s writing samples scattered from all over their life, you would see different variations of a familiar style. However, as writers, we all have an origin of where we make our first mark in writing; like a sculpture making his first strike on a piece of marble.

The article “The Writing Revolution” by Peg Tyre is a piece which aims to address the problems in school systems often associated with the way in which writing is taught to students. Tyre’s article conveys the different arguments presented in the course of teaching writing to students, which have been shown to be on opposite sides of the creative and analytical spectrum. These different perspectives of how to build the foundation of writing for the children of America as well as other countries are backed similarly on both sides, though the debate still continues. “The Writing Revolution” instead of focusing on all aspects of writing, highlights the effectiveness of analytical fundamentals over that of creative writing in helping to

Michaela Cullington’s essay “Texting and Writing” explores the possible effect of teen texting on formal writing in school. Cullington lists three different hypotheses scholars pose about the cor- relation between the two: those who criticize texting for its negative impact on writing, those who believe texting is actually a beneficial exercise in writing, and those who see no relationship at all. Cullington begins her analysis with the first theory, quoting concerned teachers, citing the shock- ing statistic that “only 25% of high school seniors are ‘proficient’ writers” (90), and adding testi- mony from two of her former teachers. Cullington then explores the second take on texting and writing by providing contrasting testimony from other teachers who believe that texting is a bless- ing to their students’ writing. Cullington retrieves support for these two opposing views from inter- views and previous studies. To explore the theory that texting is irrelevant to formal writing, how- ever, she performs her own research, gathering results from seven students, two teachers, and an analysis of students’ written work. Despite the testimonial evidence against and in support of tex- ting, Cullington’s own results show that texting has “no effect, positive or negative, on [students’] writing as a result of texting” (95).

I continually demonstrate a highly positive and contemporary attitude towards people with disabilities, coupled with an advanced understanding and knowledge of disabilities and their broader impacts. During my career, I have provided service to a diverse array of individuals. Specifically, in my current role as an APS 4 Compliance Officer with Centrelink, I have been responsible for providing friendly, efficient service to a range of customers, including people with disabilities. In doing so, I have gained significant insight into the many challenges and impacts of disabilities, and therefore aim to display a contemporary, supportive, and respectful attitude. Moreover, I possess excellent interpersonal skills and a high degree of empathy, allowing me to easily relate to others, and help them to accomplish their goals. Such skills are highlighted by my qualifications, as I hold a certification in Human Skills and Critical Thinking from New Intelligence. Additionally, I am a highly skilled interviewer, with the proven ability to develop and maintain exceptional professional relationships. As an APS 5 Investigator, I conducted records of interview, as well as taking numerous witness statements. Given this, I can

Typically, when most people think about the writing process they think of terms such as a ‘thesis statement,’ developing an outline, body paragraphs, conclusion; it’s imperative to view writing this way. We have only been taught THIS way of writing almost directly after we learned how to spell words—you decide what to write about, usually specified in the thesis statement, then you write a series of paragraphs entailing how you came to this conclusion. Finally, you conclude your paper by restating exactly what it was you spent an entire essay writing about. And most people will go their entire lives believing that is the formula for an effective, well thought-out work of literature. But how often do we go back and read through our writing and completely resent how amateur and forced it sounds? This is usually a direct result of a lack of revision within a work. Defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “a change or a set of changes that corrects or improves something” and “a new version of something that has been corrected or changed,” Revision is not a common word we think of when writing—this raises a serious question: how should you revise? In response to this to this, research was conducted to find a general view as to the significance of revision within various individual’s writing processes. These results, along with research from several academic articles provide a clear description as to where revision could be

In the last three parts of this paper, I described how my own literacy history has affected my pedagogy as a future teacher. As I looked closer at the different theories of rhetoric, I believe that I fall between the expressivists/new romantics and the cognitivists, as I explained in part two. I believe that when writers are able to become comfortable forming their own opinions in their writing in a writer-centric environment, they will be more likely to succeed in doing so with writing that has an intended audience. I believe this line of thinking or pedagogical approach will work best for developing writers, as it focuses less on the technical side of writing and more on the content- or being able to realize their own

What are some ways to address dangerous types of bias in this generation? According to American Civil Liberties Union, “Racial profiling is a longstanding and deeply troubling national problem despite claims that the United States has entered a “post-racial era” (1). In today’s generation bias is a huge problem and needs to be fixed as much as it can. The types of bias that are problems today are judgment of someone’s name, racial profiling, and a persons living conditions. To address these types are not judging Americans by name, race, and or living conditions and there are several different ways to fixing these problems in society today.

Everyone has different ways of interpreting what their writing and artistic process is. Both of these processes are similar in many ways, but also different depending on what kind of artist or writer you are. For this paper, I interviewed several different people, some who are great artists, some who are great writers and some that do not like either. I also examined both of my processes comparing how they are similar and different. There were a couple questions I asked myself and each person I interviewed so it would be easier to compare each of their processes. The four main questions were asking if they liked having food or coffee during this process, if the processes were similar or different, and to define the two processes according to their own definition.

From the 1500’s to 2017 authors have reflected their time period into their writing and shows their uniqueness with their point of view. There are many differences between

In today’s society one would not be able to communicate effectively with the world if writing was not involved. People all around the world send emails, texts, and letter to numerous amounts of individuals each second. Talking on the phone is slowly becoming a thing of the past while the writing side of technology is taking over. The meaning of writing is changing in society. Writing used to be specifically for academics or the occasional letter to a loved one. As time has passed writing has taken more forms and more meanings. In the world we live in now writing is classified as texting, emailing, instant messaging, and even comments or tweets on social media. Although writing has these multiple new forms, it still holds its academic side strongly. Everything with meaning in turn affects a person’s day to day life. Writing has the effect of making one more intellectual. Writing has become a bridge between communication and the cultures and people of today’s society. It gives way for different options in stating sentences or phrases. (Olson). Each affect should change with age. As a person grows older, their writing styles should mature and take on a more professional aspect.

Not many people understand the importance of language, or the way humans communicate. Over hundreds of years, people have found different ways to communicate with one another whether it be through talking, singing, or telling stories. One of the main ways humans communicate to each other today is through writing, just like they did a couple hundred years ago. There have been many influential writers in history, such as William Shakespeare, Frederick Douglass, Charles Darwin, and Harper Lee. Each of these writers have impacted people today whether it be through inspiration, or their unique ways of writing.

Everyone remembers fighting with their parents at some point in their life, whether as a young child who wants a toy or as a teenager who isn’t allowed to go out. It’s normal to want to challenge authority when growing up, because it helps young people to make their own decisions and become individuals. Teenagers rely on few close friends and the last people expected to be confidants are their parents.
