Post 08: Civil & Courteous

 In the world we live in today,our biggest problem United States has is that everyone wants to have control. Rather it's the government changing rights on women's bodies, Gun laws, criminal justice system, who lives matter or whose doesn't. Power has gotten to a certain group of peoples minds which will continue to be a big issue.

Post 07: The trouble of MLA Style

In MLA style, the one thing I have trouble with is in-text citation. Websites don't always correctly source their information. In these days, most websites use internet links instead of using actual citations. These internet links are not reliable. They may become broken and unusable. Sometimes, these websites have no author's name or pages numbers, so it will become impossible to find the correct citation. I've learned to stay away from those type of sites, and now I only browse dependable forums.

Post 06 : Analyzing the primary audience for academic paper

 Colorado State University's Writing Guide said: "Analyze your audience BEFORE you start writing, so you'll know what format, style, vocabulary, or level of information is expected." "Once they know who their audience is, they can mold their advertising--their words, format, graphics, images--to appeal to that specific audience."  Once I learned this I knew from then on how to address my professor's. For example, when I need to discuss a change with my grade or help with an assignment. I'll start off by gathering how im going to address them. Therefore they know what is expected from me. Further down the line we can discuss my concerns. 

Post 5: C.R.A.P. Test

 After analyzing the article, one of the C.R.A.P. references I notice in my blog ''psychology today'' that reliability is the main factor being used in psychology today. With psychology something or someone is being relied on. Rather your seeking help from a therapist or relying on yourself to help your mental health.    For example, if a friend has been ringing you every day to tell you how miserable they are, won't try things that are likely to help their mood, and never asks about your day, you might need to figure out how you can set some limits and expectations without withdrawing your support. Doing this in the right way is likely to benefit both of you.
