10/19/11- Style

After reading that section of the book, I realized that all of them are important to some extent. But I have to be honest, I rarely use all of those every time I write. Write with nouns and verbs was a new own for me I wouldn't of guessed it but it makes since now. No breezy manner, was a bit confusing to me. Although I know I shouldn't include my opinion, I have a really hard time because I am always telling people whats on my mind. Standard to offbeat confused me a bit also.

10/14/11- Effective Argument

Martin Luther King is addressing everyone, in regards to racial conflicts, that still plague communities around the world. The tone of his letter is very informative, wise and calm. To some extent I think that the whole letter is effective, especially the way in which he combines the perfect amount of ethos, pathos and logos. Although there is a few places where maybe politically correct, question his intentions, whether ethical, political, social or personal. Logical fallacies are used throughout this letter such as the logos on pg 155 in the first paragraph and in the second paragraph on pg 163. Ethos are used on pg 155 2nd and third paragraphs and again on pg168 first full paragraph. Pathos are used on pg156 in the third paragraph and again on pg 165 the first paragraph. The counter argument is on pg 159 in the second paragraph. He uses all of the logical fallacies by intertwining them to make the letter informal yet personal. I can utilize this in my paper by being careful, with where I put them which will incline a better letter or argument.

Logical Fallacies for 10/12/11

Rationalization- The news does this all the time especially with celebrities, when they do something wrong, they only get a slap on the wrist but if it was a person like you or me, we would be in jail or something pleading our case, to a jury that already knows their verdict.

Either-or- Politicians and stock brokers use this a lot to get and grab your attention by telling you if you don t do this or that, then you will lose this or that, as a matter of fact, I think that a lot of people use this method, including, Realtors, home insurance, health insurance to an extent.

Slippery Slopes- Environmentalist, if you destroy the earth by not recycling, and littering, then it will lead to the end of the earth as we know it.

When your opinion matters 10/7/11

It was my first year in the RT program here at Washburn, and I was doing my clinicals, when I went to see a patient that I had been working with all week when i noticed that the Doctor or nurse had prescribed a breathing medication that she was allergic to, and when I took the matter to the nurse, she ignored me and told me that I was just a student, and I didn't know what I was talking about. After arguing with her for what felt like a lifetime, I still didn't make ant lee way, so I went to the Doctor in charge, and pointed out my findings and after verifying them, he praised me and told me I could work with him any time I felt like it. To get a praise like that in the health care field is pretty big, and it doesn't happen very often. I don't know what happened to the nurse but I do know the patient recovered and went home two weeks later. I hate to think what would of happened if I hadn't of spoken up, and this is one situation that I don't regret stepping up too, and trust me there is a lot of situations where I wished I would of spoken up, and went with my gut feeling.

Muddiest point for 10/5/11

The muddiest point for me was the simple task of finding a topic. I wouldn't change the assignment it is pretty self explaining. I thought that this assignment was an interesting one and I wish more of my instructors used more writing in their classes. It really challenged me and what i think about the way things are
