Blog Prompt #13

The lack of technology in certain living quarters on campus is a serious issue that many students are facing. Besides the unfavorable, living conditons they offer, mostly pertaining to Stokes Hall, having no internet access is definitly the biggest problem. It creates a hassle on students who have assignments, projects, or homework due, but do not have the technology to complete the task that is assigned. The university is supposed to provide a successful environment for students and this is not being attained by the school. There is a cafe nearby that offers free internet access, however this cafe is not open all hours of the day. Any one associated or understands the amount of effort and work that is required when completeing assignments would agree that this can cause a major problem. In addition, it is very inconvient to have to leave my room a walk to the cafe just to check my email.

a) If these techers were to get together I'm sure they would want more labs and buildings to teach. It would be difficult for these propositions to occur especially considering tornado passed through the campus.

A.      From viewing page 3, I definitely feel that I could try to show the importance of my paper by adding attention grabbing sentences. I really need to be more clearly on what exactly I’m trying to prove is at stake. I absolutely love the method used in the example how it forces the reader to think about the questions.

B.      In my conference with Mrs. Butler, we discuss how I could improve my style of writing. I really wanted make that apparent in my paper this time, but not exactly sure how to do that mainly because I feel that my paper has a weak topic.

C.      Very interesting question! I want to catch my reader’s attention and prove what is at stake so perhaps:  Students enter the world with hopes of having that one chance to get the job of their dreams.

2.

B. I do not feel that this is a problem for me. I clearly get my point across in my topic sentences for each of my paragraphs. I feel the problem could be more of whether the topic is strong or not.

Job satisfaction is the most important measure of career success. To be given an opportunity to actually perform a job that makes you happy can lead to a very prosperous life. There certain qualities that can be expected when an individual achieves their personal job satisfaction. There are many other factors that can be accounted with career success. Money is definitely a part of career success, but there is a question that money does not have an answer for. Some would consider being famous a part of career success, but now everyone for some reason has become really nice and somehow knows you “personally.”  All criteria can be reasonably argued as in terms of being the true definition of career success. Why settle for being just happy when you can buy everything?

This is actually the introduction to my paper. I don’t feel like I have a strong argument, and seeking a way to improve that so any help could be useful. I believe if I could improve this aspect of my paper my paper would definitely be an overall stronger and better paper.

Money is a huge part in today’s economy and will always be. Having that ability to purchase anything we want is definitely satisfying because it is in our nature to always want more. To never have to worry about being in a difficult financial situation would definitely be a stress reliever for anyone. Having a higher income also means not only buying anything we want, but allowing us to be able to do the things we want to do. For example, take a beautiful vacation to a beach island resort, or go skiing in the gorgeous mountains. Having a higher income would also allow us to afford to send our children to college. There are numerous benefits to having a higher salary. Money is absolutely great to have, but some may argue that being famous is the most important measure of career success.

            Being famous would have plenty of perks to offer. As stated previously, people will come to adore you, and you would have access to many luxurious places. In most cases, it is understood that a person who is famous has accomplished something in their lives. You are treated as an icon to the media and almost everyone wants to be like you because you are famous. Most celebrities are given special invites to very important televised events. For example, some celebrities are invited to the Grammy’s, MTV Movie Awards, or even the Super Bowl. To actually be famous has plenty of upside for people who are looking for this sort of career success.

I have two rebuttals for my paper one for each critic who may have an alternative opinion from mine. I acknowledge different perspectives of what is the most important measure for career success and how they are true. However, career success is all about being happy in life and sharing your accomplishments with others and money cannot buy you happiness, and once famous who can really share your accomplishments with or trust much less.

Blog Prompt #10

Claim:  A Baccalaureate degree does make someone more intelligent than someone who doesn't


Reason: College is designed to push and extend a student's skills and experiences. A student's character, intelligence, and common sense are tested each and every day with vigorous challenges. No one comes to college and spends thousands of dollars to hinder their potential for success. If this was the case then anyone could become a respected lawyer or a creative architect. 


Warrant: A prestigious university is designed to improve an individual's assets to become more productive in their community. To be viewed as leaders among others. 

Blog Prompt #9

1. I thought this blog prompt was actually very interesting. She hints that by women learning the hard skills, such as reading and writing, a women will begin to grow confidence in herself. Accepting their place as an individual in a complicated society that is male dominate thinking. An educated women should be treated equally and recognize their qualities as they make strides in life. I strongly believe this concept is widely accepted among modern day civilazation. Some of the most influential figures were indeed women. In fact, it could definitely be argued that this would to men as well.

2. During heer time period if this events actually occured then absolutely I agree with her. However, in today's university setting I don't feel that discrimination towards females is as relevant. Women as well as men are both given an equal oppurtunity to obtain a strong founded education, and use it to make a respectable future for themselves. I guess there will always be that mental outlook of men are better at this but women are better at this, but I don't feel that is much room for improvement or remedying this area.

a) I personally have never had that sort of experience, but a great example would actually be my grandfather, who when growing as a child could only speak Cajun French. Im sure he had the feeling of being pushed away when trying to learn to speek English in school.

b) It would definitely be a challenge in its own right. When home or at school were not expected to be as formal, or when we are wrong we don't necessarily make a big deal about it. However, when actually having to be familiar with the language in your career field things become rather difficult. For example, in Biology a student can not just memorize his notes and expect success especially when there can be over 300 different aspects that a student must learn.

c) Absolutely would "belonging" be important in my career field. I must have the proper knowlegde and insight on a particular topic to be considered a credited and reliable source. Having that proper knowlege would only benefit my success.

a) I think kids do change over time but by the example that our families give us. I do not believe that any form success is given, but is instead earned by hard work and dedication.

b) Yea i think it is possible to have intimacy with a language in a certain career field as long as that career field is something you truly enjoy. Someone who is positive and motivated will definitely fing their career field more fulfilling.

c) I don't think he felt that it was worth it because throughout the entire essay you can feel his undesirerable feelings for the English language.
