Taking what I learned and using in the future!





     I will take what I learned from this class and use it to help me write future papers. I will be taking English composition 2 next semester and this class will help me understand things better. I learned a lot of things from this class that I never even heard of until now such as the Rogerian Argument and naysayers. I enjoyed writing the blogs and think that will help me on the future as well by seeing several other people’s comments on things. I also believe that this class has helped me with my vocabulary and the way I have a daily conversation with others. This class had a few assignments that others that have taken an English class had not heard of as well so I believe that will be an advantage for me when I take future English composition classes.
     I enjoyed this class although I do not like English and definitely not a fan of writing papers. I did not know how well I was going to do taking an English class online but I will have to say that it was not as bad as I had expected.

Negative Naysayers



        My paper is about Munchausen Syndrome by proxy which is when the parent, usually the mother, exaggerates and fabricates illness or symptoms on their child. The parent does this for attention from higher up professionals such as the nurses and doctors. The child is put through tests and procedures that are not necessary and could cause additional problems and even death. 

         I do not think that anyone could say that Münchausen syndrome by proxy is a good thing so with that being said I will definitely be arguing that this syndrome needs to be addressed more since it is a rare condition and there is not much research on it. I believe that are more people in this world with this condition that we are aware of. I think it needs to be made aware of so that doctors and nurse can be on the look out for people with this condition. 

        I hope I am understanding the 'naysayer' concept correctly and that I will be able to complete this final assignment appropriately.

Explaining the arguing assignment.


               
 
 
 
 
               In the Rogerian argument assignment I will need to provide information about my topic and then argue whether I agree or disagree with my topic or if I think it is beneficial or harming to society. This assignment allows us to write in other points of view rather than our own. Everyone has their own opinion so not everyone will agree with the way I will choose to argue my topic.

                Therefore the way I will complete this assignment is to try to find additional information on my topic and then argue that the syndrome from my topic is very harmful to the victim but also very alarming to the perpetrator as well. This is a rare condition and does not have a lot of research on it so I will also argue that this condition needs to be addressed more and made known to society more in depth so that physicians can identify this syndrome easier if they come in contact with it. I will also use naysayers to help with arguing part of this assignment.

               I have never heard of naysayers or a Rogerian argument until now and hope that I am able to complete this assignment appropriately.
