WILL ANY OF THIS HELP ME, TOMORROW?

Is this it? How will any of this benefit me in the future? I feel that I have learned a lot and it will help me tremendously in the future especially in furthering my education. I didn't know anything about form or formats or context and really knew nothing about research and know very little now. I do know that this is just a beginning and actually feel as if this course, this last semester is just an 'outline' to what I should be learning in the process of writing.

 

I have enjoyed blogging with you all and feel somehow as if we were corresponding as if in class as I imagine that is what Mr. Sentell was hoping for. This course has been a basis for a lot of research and papers that I know I am facing and I feel that I will look back over my notes and criticisms and suggestions that I received from this class.

 

I wish I had more time and had learned more but treasure what I have. Good luck everyone in your goals and your future.

Rogerian Review Prompt--One more Time

I'm stuck. I don't feel that this paper was by any means what it should have been.  I tried to go over the strengths and weaknesses of it but still found myself going around in circles.

 

I tried to point the positive and negative views of the different facts and findings but still found it lacking. It has always seemed as if the review prompt has helped me but I greatly feel that this time here at the end..I have failed this greatly. I think it somewhat met the requirements but not fully and it is definitely lacking in expectations.

 

I hope you all have better luck.

'SICKY SWEET DEBATE'

     Well here we are to another paper. A rogerian argument. I was never on the debate team but those that I knew who were, to say the least were quite adamant about their point of views.

     I am writing my rogerian paper on the same topic as our informative as per requested, sugar. As you all can believe there is some difficulty finding a point of view opposite the harmful effects of the substance.  As I researched this more thoroughly I found a few people who had pessimistic views to the harmful affects. Walter H Glinsmann, MD has several views on the aspects and outcomes of our consumption.

     The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 1986 review "Evaluation of the Health Aspects of Sugars was a comprehensive assessment that formed the basis for the agency's reaffirming sugar as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) , it stated "Other than the contribution to dental caries, there is no conclusive evidence on sugars that demonstrates a hazard to the general public when sugars are consumed at the levels that are now current and in the manner practiced.

     In this paper there are many naysayers to that conclusion.  Several years have passed since then but some points of views have not changed. In this paper I will try to point out the different views and why they feel that way. Dr Glinsmann serves on the national research council.

PESSIMISTIC, SKEPTICAL, CYNICAL=NAYSAYER

 

     Everywhere we look there are naysayers. Those who constantly denies, opposes or who is skeptical. The ones who are cynical about everything.  We all know these people the ones who habitually express negative or pessimistic views. They are constantly complaining and have a genuinely poor attitude. These people are the ones that after a while who do not want to be around for it seems as if they are depressing and bring us down.

 

     But what about the naysayers in writings, articles and the debaters of our time? They are set in their ways and are hard to influence to other ideas. But upon much research and convincing they are sometimes shown different points of views that they may begin to consider.

 

     To write a paper upon our views as well as others who believe in the same aspects of the subject as well as the 'naysayers' who do not, is a challenge. To see all points of view and consider all aspects of the subject there must be many proven and optimistic points made.

 

     Are you right or are they right? Maybe both, you just have to look at both sides and agree to agree or disagree.
