Stanley Coren Analysis

The article was able to broaden my scope and allow me see my short coming and the unnecessary pressure that I put on myself to meet near impossible expectations. I loved the quote “I like the freedom that comes with lowered expectations”. I want that kind of freedom in my life I would be able to avoid so much self reduced stress if I listened to Lopate and embraced my self doubt. By doing so I could allow myself to surprise myself and others with your work. I hope to take this outlook in my writing by allowing my pen to flow without the pressure of what others with think or say. I want to learn to be comfortable if others don’t like or understand my points or my

I have been asked to give my professional opinion on which article to publish in this week 's edition. The two articles I have to choose from are “Are too many people going to college?” by Charles Murray and “Should everyone go to college?” by Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill. In short, Murray’s article explains throughout the article that the basic knowledge essential to a being an American can be learned in k-8. Murray explains that high school can be the place where students learn about their career paths and there would be no need for college. Murray believes college is not a necessity in today 's society if we can teach more in elementary, middle, and high school. Owen and Sawhill’s article can be summarized, in short, with their theses, “While the average return to obtaining a college degree is positive, we emphasize that it is not universally so. For certain schools, majors, occupations, and individuals, a college may not be a smart investment. By telling all young people that they should go to college no matter what, we are actually doing some of them a disservice” (Owen and Sawhill PG#). Both articles use rhetorical strategies to convey the purpose of their article to the reader. Charles Murray uses interesting anecdotes, understandable logical reasoning, and relevant statistics to facilitate his non-traditional ideas clearly to the reader. On the other hand, through the use of credibility Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill uses assertions, logical reasoning, and

2b) The authors provided the reader a lot of information on the topic. Each topic was very well explored. A lot of different information on different but similar studies. The authors seemed very knowledgeable on the topic. This article lacked a few things. A clear research question and a hypothesis. The paragraphs were not clear and consist, I felt that I had to dig to get certain information. The paper was very wordy, which made me have a hard time understanding the substance.

When looking at each of the articles presented, there are defining factors that allow researchers to determine whether or not it is a scholarly or popular resource. Of the two articles, one can assert that the USA Today Article is a popular source and the article by Baker and Algorta (2016) is a scholarly source. Each of these sources has their advantages and disadvantages due to the stylistic devices employed by the writers. With the help of each article, knowledge of readers and viewers is expanded, and while there are some facets that detract from the quality of the knowledge gained, the readers benefits from the time spent reading.

Furthermore, what makes the qualitative difference between these two articles is the depth of understanding of the

However this article could have been perceived better if it had an intended audience other than the general public. She had enough evidence to support her claim and enough to say that it could have easily been made into a formal essay with a better, more educated audience offhand that might have taken her more seriously. While it is necessary to get information out there to everyone, perhaps the more educated population could have done more with this type of article.

What are the main ideas and/or issues of the article as it relates to the chosen topic?

What are the main concepts presented in the article? What information is the author using, and what is its relationship to the main issue? Does the information used appear relevant, significant, valid, and sufficient for the conclusions being drawn? Do you have enough information to determine whether the information is relevant, significant, and valid?

One article, titled "News From the World of Medicine lists tidbits to help reader's take better care of themselves. One subsection in the article described how diluted bleach can treat eczema. Another article, titled "The Town of Ordinary Millionares", covered what happened when the entire population of a poor farm town won the lottery but didn't let the wealth change their lifestyle. Underneath the main storyline of the article is a message to the reader of the worth of humility. One article, an interview with an expert on lying on how lies work and how to spot them in others, stimulates intellectual growth. Reader's Digest maintained a focus personal improvement through the content of it's

Dog fighting is a very cruel thing, and it is happening right under our noses. It is illegal to fight a dog in all fifty states. By being an observer at a dog fight, it is against the law in forty-seven states. So why do people continue this cruel practice? The answer seems to be money. Some people who breed dogs for fighting can sell their puppies for up to two thousand dollars. Even though fighting dogs is making money, it is cruel since pain is inflicted on the dogs; the ASPCA and the Humane Society are trying to prevent this with proper training.

I have read a lot of articles to find a match articles with images that I took and I drew, mainly from two years ago. The first article is about photography, but not just a how to article. I am trying to find an article that describes photograph as a communication tool. There are many articles about it, especially on Google Scholar, but most of them are too long. The first article is written by Patricia M et al titled, Intercultural Friendship Development. This original article is 15 pages long with an essay style paragraph and font. Images that I am going to use for this article is from my trip to Bali with my friends few years ago and photos of my first international friends in Perth during my English study in 2014. The second article is about the effect of social media towards society by Nicole, Cliff and Charles. This article is pretty interesting and related to the images that I had. The article is pretty long and looks boring, the original font is too small and pretty hard to read. I am planning to make it a bit bigger and add more images to make it interesting, not too much. The last article that I chose called Social Media Effects on Young Women’s Body Image Concern, written by Richard M. Perloff.
