Discussion Questions # 3

1)  I generally read over an assignment a total of two times maximum, as bad as it sounds I usually understand what I have to do after two reading sessions. I think that reading the assignment paper more then two times is definitely worthwhile. Reading the paper after your first draft can be helpful because sometimes students might go into the work before clearly reading the assignment paper and do it completely wrong because of format or some other reason, this is definitely a benefit to read after your first draft so your second draft can be correct and close to an A.


2) You can apply Evidence consideration to your own personal argument to strengthen your point. Evidence is the bread and butter to any proven point and its necessary. Considering evidence will ensure your point is held above the audience and critics.


3)  To me the most useful section of the analysis section was the instruction to analyze the separate parts of a paper and seeing how they are related to each other. This skill is very useful to help sort out a paper you don't quite understand. I think we should go over the part where it says to engage in open inquiry even when the answer of the argument is known.


4) Similarities include evidence in the writers work and being fair and open minded rather then closed and stubborn to suggestions or overpowering argument. Also clear facts that the writer is cool headed and will not attack the audience or critics reading the material the writer has presented.

Discussion Questions # 2

1.) Values of homemade, to be honest there is nothing like homemade in my opinion. If i was to choose between a store bought sandwich and one made at home, I would choose the homemade sandwich, reason is I made it the way I want it and I know whats in it. Homemade is something you trust and you know is made with the best of that makers abilities. However store bought is ready made and can often times be of higher quality since its been lab tested and factory made. Although homemade is labor price free store bought does come in higher quantities ready for purchase. Prices , homemade to the maker and often times receiver place a priceless price on a homemade good, usually because its not made anywhere but by that person, society however labels homemade almost worthless, they are used too store bought advertised ready mades that they believe are on sale or what ever percent off. Some other well known individual that was self taught is Bill Gates. Bill was a college dropout who didn't really do anything in law school except learn about the computer by himself. Bill learned how to work with computers and later used his knowledge to co-found Microsoft.

2.) Learning for some people is a freedom. Freedom from being oppressed by those who know more. Knowing more then others will give you a horrid advantage over those who are less educated. Some of the first financial empires were built due to the fact that people of that time were too ignorant to know any better. Take like the rail road companies, back in the day they ran the financials of this nation like it was theirs. Now that we are more educated we are not as gullible as before. The unions formed because of company policy being too demanding is an example. They learned they had power and exercised it.

3.) If I was to be locked in a cell i would choose to learn math and law. These two skills are to me the most important subjects you can have when you get out of jail. Math is important because you will need to calculate prices and any income you might be receiving. Knowing these things can make getting back on your feet after jail so much easier. Law is another important subject because knowing if I was wrongly accused can land me a very nice paycheck from who ever got me sent to jail in the first place. This will also help prevent me from going back to jail. My goals after jail would be to make sure I would never go back, one way is by securing a financial future for myself and family, and knowing the law and avoiding any illegal activity to get sent back.
