Judging without knowing someone is bad
ReplyDelete1. Causes people to miss out on possibly good relationships
Prolongs problems like racism
Effects the way you are treated not based on who you are
We have all been prematurely judged and have probably done the same to someone else
It destroys the individual and makes the world boring
2. I can talk about the song I used for my primary source and use how it caused him to lose his identity to establish pathos, how Drake has experienced the most easily judged position as a celebrity, and use reason and logic to explain the sequence of events that caused Drake to lose his identity
I can then talk about why Drake felt the need to put up a certain image by relating to my primary source on street life and talk about the pressures of maintaining an image emotionally, reason as to why that is a bad thing for culture, while also mentioning it is a peer reviewed journal to establish ethos.
3. This was a problem at my high school
Problems like racism are still relevant today
1) You may want to think about how this affects todays society more specifically.
Delete2)You could use logos to back up what you are trying to prove through reason and logic.
3)This problem has a major affect everywhere in college, pushes people away from eachother
You could research more about how the problem affects society today and use your logos to back up your argument.

ReplyDeleteArgument: Same-sex marriage should be legal everywhere in the United States of America
Why college students should care
1. Same-sex marriage is one of the leading political debates right now
2. Most of us will be voting for the first time in the near future
3. Whether you know it or not, there are a lot of homosexuals at your school, and you would be affecting them directly
4. We are the next generation of leaders in the country, so our stance on this issue is important for how it is viewed in the near future
5. Most of us probably have a gay or lesbian friend who we can help out with this decision
Ethos
1. Wrote an ARP on the subject
2. Did extensive research
Pathos
1. Have a gay friend, know how important it is to him and therefore me
2. I firmly believe it’s the right thing to do
Logos
1. Can cite professional sources
2. Can relate the issue directly to the Constitution
How is this subject timely
1. Obama just recently came out in support of gay-marriage
2. The election is coming up soon, and we all need to make a decision on the subject
This is definitely a timely issue, but maybe you can state why you think this issue is becoming more and more relevant in today's world and what made you come to the conclusion that same sex couples should be able to get married using compelling arguments.
Deletethis is a good issue to write about. very timely. it's a problem with hate crimes. state how it could be a little more relevant to today's society.
Delete"having a gay friend and know how important it is to him and me"-It is going to be really compelling. And I really like the arguement you wrote about.
DeleteJeremy Lin has had racism negatively and hurt his short career.
ReplyDelete1.
A. racism affect the every day life of some college kids
B. shows the weakness humans have to pick out the slight differences in people
C. Most college kids know of Jeremy Lin so it would be relevant for them to know his story
D. Racism has negatively impacted not just Jeremy Lin, but athletes everywhere
E. Jeremy’s story is timely and relavent
2. Ethos: I could talk about how Jeremy Lin is a very bright and educated man with a degree in economics from Harvard. I could also use the fact that Jeremy has been suffering through this type of racism since before his high school days.
Pathos. I could discuss how Jeremy Lin has reacted to all of this happening, also how the media and others have reacted to what Jeremy is being put through.
Logos. Use direct quotes from Jeremy Lin as to how he feels about the recent “attacks” from the media on him. Also, I could use past experiences of other athletes who have been through this sort of thing.
3. This has happened very recently and most people know of him
This sort of problem happens on a daily basis.
(1)You could mention that we are getting better about racism because of the ESPN analyst that was fired for his "chink in the armor" comment
Delete(2)You could use pathos by comparing Lin to Jesse Owens because Owens is a hometown favorite and also had to overcome racism on his road to success.
(3)This topic might also matter to college students because of the hate crimes that have happened on campus recently
Jeremy Lin is a good example, but for the people who do not know his case you could give an example of an incident he recently encountered. Your pathos will definitely draw the attention of the audience just make sure its the right attention and they feel the way you were trying to get them to feel.
DeleteRacism is still a huge issue in professional sports today when it should not be.
ReplyDelete1.
- Sports are a major part of our lives, especially being at Ohio State where sports are part of our tradition.
- What happens in sports, racism-wise, is a reflection of our society as a whole.
- Many college students look at professional athletes as role models.
- The multitude of incidents of racism in professional sports in the US shows us that we are not progressing as much as we think in the fight against racism.
- If racism in sports is able to be halted, then the racism in the rest of society will follow.
2.
Ethos-
1) Use a quote(s) from a credible source talking about racism in professional sports
2) Back up all my claims with some sort of evidence (mostly recent incidents)
Pathos-
1) Talking about role models and how kids’ dreams are crushed when their favorite players commit acts of racism
2) Talk about how if we do not address this issue now then racism will forever be a part of our society
Logos-
1) There have been many recent incidents of racism in professional sports so it is clearly relevant right now.
2) If we do not try to stop the racism in sports now it will only get worse, and it will have an effect on our society because sports are a big part of our society.
3)
a. Incident between Suarez and Evra in October
b. Coaching interview policy in the NFL, Joel Ward being tweeted at, many other recent incidents I will find
This seems good, but you might want narrow it down to a specific type of racism or like discrimination against a certain race. Just using the term "racism" can be rather broad.
DeleteI think it is a big point that racism in sports reflects on our society as a whole. I like how you list many recent incidents in sports regarding racism, and this is definitely a timely topic. I think you should be more specific with ethos.
DeleteI think it is a good topic and it is good to focus on racism in sport. But I think the evidence can be used as reasons to support the argument.

ReplyDeleteSexual Inequality and male privilege needs to stop
ReplyDelete1. A. College students go through break up and relationships all the time, they deal with sexual inequality all the time.
B. College students face male privileges in the classroom with certain majors being more directed toward a male audience and learning environment than a females.
C. College students face male and female relationships, as friends, and they deal with all of the stuff in between.
D. College students have families that have a mother and a father and they have seen how families will tear apart from one another, divorce rate is skyrocketing.
E. College students are starting to find a life partner and have to deal with issues most high schoolers and older people don’t have to deal with because college is where students grow and find themselves, meet new people and form their futures.
2. Ethos- Dealt with it first hand with the relationships I’ve been in with controlling guys who play the whole male privileges by the book. Dealt with my parents and having my dad run over my mom plenty of times due to many factors
Pathos- Women and little girls are being treated unfairly, unequally for absolutely no reason other than the fact that that’s how the socioeconomical norms play it out. Those little girls that begin to be treated unfairly will most likely pick a man that treats her worse.
Logos- Women are being treated differently from men, women make less money than men for doing the exact same job just because their different sexs. Women can’t walk downtown or at night alone without thinking about being rapped, guys have the upper hand and advantages not put forth for women.
3. Timely- With the rates of divorce going up and the fact that these privileges haven’t changed for guys and are not getting any better for the women.
This is a good topic, although you might might to focus on either divorce rates itself or the sexual inequality being faced by women. Because im not sure on the exact relation between people getting divorced and the reasoning being because one feels unequal to the other spouse. People should figure that stuff out before they get married so i dont think that is the exact reason for divorce. The inequality difference is good though with a lot of stuff recently happening with women's role in society and recieving less pay for their job.
DeleteDanielle,
Deletewhat different sources can you use that will back up your credibility? Just list some... maybe even a article in the newspaper or a blog that shows how women feel about the topic.
Also you are using personal sources for Ethos and those should be used more in the Pathos section for personal emphasis.
Main Argument: Racial profiling occurs too much in our society, as there is no legislature specifically banning the use of racial profiling on a federal level but actually legislature that helps make its use by law enforcement lawful.
ReplyDelete5 reasons college students should care:
1. College students grow up in diverse universities, where everyone should be treated equal.
2. It is a violation of citizens’ constitutional rights to receive racial profiling.
3. College students are of the age to vote for candidates that can change the federal laws on the use of racial profiling in law enforcement.
4. Recent legislature has been passed to allow for the profiling of people, with the USA Patriot Act.
5. Recently there has been an Act introduced to congress called the End Racial Profiling Act, which college students can help get the word out for and lobby for its signing in congress.
2 ways to establish ethos:
1. I wrote a research paper on the use of racial profiling in law enforcement and how it is immoral.
2. College student who is concerned with equal rights of American Citizens in the United States.
2 ways to establish pathos:
1. Talk about cases where people have been profiled against recently.
2. Recent legislature that can affect citizens in today’s culture.
2 ways to establish logos:
1. If we vote in the right politicians they can vote for legislature to end the use of racial profiling on the federal level.
2. If nothing is done, people will continue to be faced with the hardships of unjust searches and seizures and citizens of the U.S. will be treated unfairly
Timely:
1. USA Patriot Act was signed in 2001 by President Bush and renewed by President Obama in 2011 which allows the federal government to use more unclear motives to profile citizens in its effort to fight crime.
2. End Racial Profiling Act of 2011 was recently introduced into congress, but never received the amount of votes needed to pass, in which college students can help get the word out about and help in its passing in congress.
I think this is a really good topic and very timely. I dont have any problems with this, I think you have a strong backing for your essay.
DeleteI think you have great sources in this outline for your paper. Everything is timely especially the End Racial Profiling Act since that was only a year ago. Focus on how it can directly affect college students and it will be a winner!

DeleteMain argument: Why Cyberbullying should be controlled and stopped.
ReplyDeleteReasons why college kids should care
1. It could affect them sometime during their college career
2. Cyberbullying could have happened to them in the past
3. Younger siblings could be affected by cyber bullying.
4. Everyone has a Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or other way of communicating with millions of people at a time
5. The effects of cyberbullying could last a lifetime and could still be affecting the individual today i.e. depression, anxiety, or even suicide.
Ethos
1. Use peer review articles. i.e. Bhat, Christine Suniti. "Cyber Bullying: Overview And Strategies For School Counsellors,Guidance Officers, And All School Personnel." Australian Journal Of Guidance & Counselling 18.1 (2008): 53-66. Education Research Complete. Web. 18 Apr. 2012
2. Use reliable news shows or newspapers.
Pathos
1. How it affects kids in schools (Bhat, Christine Suniti)
2. The severe consequences of cyberbullying
Logos
1. use peer reviewed sources
2. Talk about timely articles such as one below (Delaware State Senate passes Cyber bullying bill
How subject is timely
1. Delaware State Senate passes Cyber bullying bill
a. http://www.udreview.com/delaware-state-senate-passes-cyberbullying-bill-1.2871810#.T7Jj7DVSSf4
2. Facebook. Twitter and other social media networks
This is a good topic as in today's day and age with computers and phones a lot more cyber bullying happens. Maybe focus more on legislation that can be passed to help prevent it or tie it in with the immoral part of bullying.
DeleteOverall this looks good, cyberbullying is something that is very prevalent in our society with all of the social networks and issues involving it. You could also show how the media and specific movies bring to light the problem with all of these social networks.
DeleteHarmful effects of using gender stereotypes in media
ReplyDelete1. Everybody of every gender is affected by it
Can lower self-esteem
Makes people insecure
College students are surrounded by mass media
Might have younger siblings affected by stereotypes inflicted by the media
2. Can establish pathos by saying how it affects them and people around them
Can establish ethos by stating how I did extensive research and wrote a paper on the matter
3. Mass media is at an all-time high
Increasing tension about non-traditional gender roles, such as the gay movements
This is a good topic as college students are involved with mass media and a lot of advertiesements can be shown towards us. Maybe make it more clear on how it affects students more than just lowering self esteem or making people feel insecure.
DeleteTry to narrow how you will be able to achieve Ethos, Pathos and Logos in this. Try to focus on what exact social media can be used to show gender stereotypes i.e. Twitter, Facebook, the news. Great topic just add more detail.
DeleteThis is an interesting topic to talk about and is something that is extremely prevalent, especially within the college student realm but I would try to back it up with more clear cut facts other than peoples self esteem and insecurities, maybe make it broader.
DeleteWe need to put more focus into learning about other cultures
ReplyDeleteWhy students should care:
1. College students are constantly surrounded by those that are different than they are.
2. College students are more willing to adapt and embrace diversity.
3. College students already love to learn and gain knowledge.
4. College students appreciate uniqueness in others and the people that they are around.
5. College students live in a world where more and more people from distinct backgrounds become connected every day.
Establishing ethos, pathos, logos:
1. Include examples of people that resort to ignorant behavior because of their lack of cultural knowledge.
2. Explain how we can avoid ignorant behavior simply by learning the background of other cultures.
Timeliness:
1. Our world is growing larger and more social by the day with globalization and greater advances in networking.
2. It can prove useful and beneficial to be able to communicate with others in a knowledgable
This is a very current and timely topic, diversity is everywhere, especially on campus. How could you relate to the reader more? Also provide examples of how learning about other cultures can be beneficial.
DeleteThe topic you chose is definitely timely. Maybe you could mention the effects, such as anger, it has on people that are treated badly due to some people not being knowledgeable about other cultures.
DeleteThis topic is really timely and relevant. Diversity is everywhere around the campus. I think you can add more reliable sources to make it better, such as how can college students benefit from learning about other cultures.
DeleteMain Argument- How "Sh*t Sorority Girls Say” influences teens to stereotype those who are in Greek life
ReplyDelete5 Reasons Students Care:
• Greek life is a crucial part on university campus’ nationwide in philanthropy events, and is usually the largest organization on a campus
• Those who are in Greek life are stereotyped by others who have fallen prey to the common misconceptions and are punished for these fallacies by unfair treatment and bullying
• Those who are in Greek life now want a younger generation to know the true facts about joining a fraternity or a sorority if they had no prior experience with one
• Non-Greeks and Greeks should be able to work together for a common goal within their university, but sometimes cannot because of the judgmental barriers already constructed so the school suffers as a whole
• The entire Greek community allows students to make connections with alumnae, peers, and people they never even knew existed which is extremely important in a world where its not what you know but who you know
2 Ways to establish ethos, pathos, logos:
• Logos- I could use the facts that , 71% of all Greeks graduate while only 50% of non- Greeks graduate nationally, and the all Greek GPA is higher than the overall collegiate GPA to prove the fallacy that Greeks aren’t concerned with or good with academics wrong. Also, an academic journal article based on social media influence of the younger generation and its effects will help me prove how this YouTube video can mold minds into forming opinions subconsciously.
• Pathos- I can share my experience of my opinions of Greek life prior to rushing and how those were formed from different influences. I can also, share my experience of the process of rushing and how my mind was changed and relate it to my current strong emotional need to get rid of these stereotypes.
• Ethos- I can talk about my personal experience of being in a Sorority and show I am credible on the topic and overall organization by showing personal progress of how I have maintained a high GPA and have been actively involved in other clubs and volunteering showing it’s not just research that has allowed me to make these conclusions, but my personal knowledge as well. I can also establish my credibility by recognizing I am new to Greek life and remember my prior thoughts on what a sorority meant versus my new opinions while I’m actually in one.
2 Ways this subject is timely:
• Greek life is becoming increasingly more popular and is offered at colleges across the country.
• The summer is about to start or has started for college students and the next fall will be recruitment time, and those who are only exposed to media such as “Sh*t Sorority Girls Say” may be hesitant or choose not to rush at all
just make sure you can back up all your arguments about greek life in the five examples you have first. Also make sure you don't get ethos and pathos mixed up
DeleteThis is true because the Greeks on this campus do not facilitate with non-Greeks, they stay within their group and disloge themselves from others. Your Ideas are good and how you intend to go about elaborating on them.
Delete1.) It is also relevant because Greek life is a big part of colleges.
Delete2.) For pathos you could tell a story of how it helped someone improve in some way.
3.) Fraternities and Sororities do things to help the school/student body.
Cyber bullying is a serious issue that has negative, harsh effects on teens, and measures should be taken to prevent it.
ReplyDeleteCollege students should care for several reasons. The first is if they have ever been cyber bullied themselves. For someone who has gone through the pain and embarrassment of cyber bullying, they should want to do anything they can to help put a stop to it. College students should also think about their younger siblings in middle school or high school and imagine how hurtful it would be to see them being cyber bullied. College students should take a look at the consequences of cyber bullying and take action to stop these things from happening. Not only can cyber bullying have a negative affect on the person that is being cyber bullied, it also takes a toll on the family of that teenager.
Ethos
1. I am studying at Ohio State University and have been through middle school and high school. I have seen cyber bullying first hand.
2. I know someone personally who was cyber bullied and actually transferred schools.
Pathos
1. Students have taken extreme measures to escape from being cyber bullied. Imagine what it would be like to have a younger brother or sister be in this situation.
2. For those students who have committed suicide because of cyber bullying, their parents have now lost their child due to someone else’s words over the Internet.
Logos
1. It is just wrong to harass and threaten someone in general and doing it over the Internet doesn’t make it any better.
2. When a person hides behind a computer screen to bully someone, it is not just the other person that they are embarrassing. They are also humiliating themself.
Cyber bullying is a timely subject because it is a fairly recent issue that is becoming more and more of a problem amongst teenagers. As technology grows and younger students are having access to mobile devices and the Internet, cyber bullying is more of a problem than it used to be in the past. There are so many different ways a person can be cyber bullied and on so many different social networking sites.
this outline is actually really complete and its a good topic. you might to find a few specific stories about suicide and the one about your friend is a good one. thats about all i can add.
Deletereally like this topic. very important issue in today's society. speak about what may happen if this problem is not fixed.
DeleteIt is a timely issue and it just happens around us. It is easy to find examples of the negative effects of social negative.
DeleteMain Argument: How and why we stereotype others
ReplyDeleteFive reasons College Students should care:
1. Colleges today are very diverse places, college students should care about how people stereotype others so they won’t create harmful stereotypes themselves
2. With the recent hate crime involving “Long Live Zimmerman” being spray painted on a wall at OSU campus, and others across the country, stereotypes that turn into racism should be a topic many students learn about
3. Many classes on college campuses discuss stereotyping and prejudice, and students should use these to inform themselves
4. A common belief today is that stereotyping is always wrong, but this is not always the case. Some stereotypes can be positive.
5. College students will be out in the world soon and should be informed of stereotypes because they will more than likely interact with other groups
Two ways to establish each Ethos, Pathos, and Logos on this subject:
Ethos:
1. Use peer reviewed secondary source from my annotated bibliography about stereotypes in order to gain credibility
2. Use an interview with a college professor about stereotyping and how it can be good or bad to gain credibility
Pathos:
1. Discuss how stereotyping affects specific minorities such as African Americans, Latinos, or Whites, in order to interest the reader by including their race specifically
2. Use examples such as the recent hate crime involving “Long Live Zimmerman” being spray painted on a wall at OSU campus to interest readers by using something they can relate to
Logos:
1. Use information from professors because they are intelligent and that will reflect on my work
2. Use current events from areas around the readers as a way to show the reader that the topic is important and current
Two ways this subject is timely:
1. Stereotypes are used by everyone, every day in modern society
2. Hate Crimes such as the “Long Live Zimmerman” spray painting on OSU campus show that stereotyping is a common topic
You have a good topic. And I agree with all of your reasons for why college students should care. I disagree with the hate crimes being related to stereotyping necessarily. You may have to curve that more to your topic because hate crimes such as the "long live zimmerman" writing is more reflective of racism.
DeleteI like your topic. It's definitely relevant and timely. I agree with James that you need to curve that more because hate crimes are more reflective of racism but not stereotying.
DeleteYour topic is very good and timely. Your reasons for college students caring are good. I would definitely be interested in hearing how some stereotypes can be good.
DeleteCity boys are less masculine than country boys.
ReplyDelete1.) College students should care because…
There is a population of both in every school.
Most college students act like city boys.
They encounter both of them throughout their lives.
They might do better if they act more like country boys.
If the student is a girl, they receive more respect from country boys.
2.) How to establish ethos, pathos, and logos…
Ethos- I have friends that are country boys and friends that are city boys.
I will talk about my background because I am from the country, and have lived in the city.
Pathos- I will write with a good balance between a humorous and serious tone.
I will talk about specific stories I know.
Logos- I will cite lyrics from songs i.e. “Bait a Hook”
I will cite information that I have found in my research.
3.) This subject is timely because…
There are country boys and city boys just about everywhere.
Country music, activities, and lifestyle seems to be growing amongst people today.
You may want to speak to a female friend and ask them for an encounter between a city boy or a country boy and how differently they were treated, and use this pathos to help define what being masculine really means in today's society or how the ideal of masculinity has changed from when everyone had a country mindset to how in today's world that mindset has taken on a different meaning for city boys
Deletecan you back up the fact that most college students act like city boys? maybe at some colleges but not all..
DeleteMake sure you have evidence to back up your argument because you can easily argue against it.
Ethos/pathos/logos all seem pretty good!
You would have to show some strong evidence about the claim your argument is making. everything seems good with ethos, pathos and Logos but maybe and article that states these facts you talk about.
DeleteDemoye Bogle
ReplyDelete5/15/12
The main argument of my paper would be: increase in Tuition and the problem it brings to families/students.
1. It applies to every college student
2. It’s coming out of their pocket if they are paying for tuition themselves
3. Very important topic
4. Affects the decisions of us students everyday
5. Who wouldn’t think
Two ways of using ethose: information from the rally that took place earlier this year in the north oval about this topic, article that states the effect of the increase in tuitions.
Pathos: To what extent does it affect families/students, my tone of delivering this message.
Logos: Information about a study of how the increase in tuition has caused a decrease in college applicants/dropouts.
3. It is a current issue that took place early this fall quarter, many students are struggling with the idea of the increase in tuition as of now.
1.) It is also relevant because of our current economy.
Delete2.) For logos you could compare what tution is now to what it might be.
3.) This also relates to college students because they may have to take out more/bigger loans.
I would look up a specific article on the increase in tuition at OSU or the rally that took place on campus in order to further support your logos so you would be able to site exact figures and possible trends in tuition increase while focusing on the personal effects of dropping out or being unable to attend a university for financial reasons.
Deleteback up your #3 of how it is a very important topic, and what do you mean by who wouldn't think?--clarify that point
DeleteI agree with lindsay and craig about their logos ideas
Society needs to stop hate crimes.
ReplyDeleteCollege students should care because:
#1. It is happening on our very own campus.
#2. It causes a lot of negative commotion which could potentially become harmful.
#3. It targets many different cultures and races, and OSU is very diverse and includes most of
the victims’ races.
#4. Hate crimes used to be much worse than they are now, so looking at where they use to be, we need to continue leading away from them.
#5. If we want to achieve overall peace and unity in the community, hate crimes need to be stopped.
Ethos:
#1. I am a college student at The Ohio State University and I have been personally affected by the hate crime that happened recently on campus.
#2.By researching and exploring different opinions of hate crimes (during class or on my own) I have gained an understanding of the topic.
Pathos:
#1. The topic personally affects me because it happened on my very own campus.
#2. I have many friends who are of races that are often targeted for hate crimes and they are
greatly affected by it.
Logos:
#1. Cite statistics on hate crimes in Ohio/U.S.
#2. Can show statistics about racism and how it has decreased throughout the years (laws,
segregation, etc).
The subject is timely because:
#1. We just recently had a very controversial hate crime happen on campus.
#2. Hate crimes are still continuing all over the United States, not just in Ohio, let alone on Ohio
State’s campus.
This is a very important topic, and due to the events that took place early this spring quarter shows its relevance to society, people need to be educated about these issues.
DeleteYou could further go into how hate crimes spread to others so how the incident of the shooting caused the hate crime on Ohio State's campus which led to more outbursts from different groups and how it is a domino effect possible by supporting this with statistics of hate crimes in certain months of certain years showing when one thing happens it spirals out before it calms down.
Delete1.) It is also timely and relevant because it happens from as low as elementary school to retirement.
Delete2.) For pathos you could tell a specific story of a hate crime.
3.) It relates to college students because anyone suffering from a hate crime, or people close to victims could be distracted and it would affect their grades.
Reinforcing racial profiling of Middle Easterners through media is not a good thing
ReplyDelete1
Care because I’m guessing everyone has a heritage, being discriminated against because of where your family came from and because someone saw something negative about where your family came from on tv would suck.
Care because you want to see something less depressing on the news every now and then.
Care because being racist (either passively or aggressively) towards others in this melting pot of a college campus can lead to negative consequences.
Care because in a world where there are still wars being fought, adding fuel to the flame doesn’t help.
Care because we’ve all been in the class where the entire group is punished because of one person’s actions, in the same way many Middle-Eastern Americans have been discriminated against because of one group of extremists.
2
Ethos can be established by showing logos. If someone sees that I’ve done my research that gives me more credibility.
Ethos can be established by sharing a personal story.
Pathos can be established by relating to race, but even by making it more of an overall racial issue then I can hopefully win over the minority crowd.
Pathos can be established by showing some sort of really sad article or clip about hate crimes. Those are always tearjerkers regardless of race.
Logos can be established by showing facts about how much hate is portrayed in the media. (Shown in the article “Portrayal of Muslims in the media: "24" and the 'Othering' process.”)
Logos can be established by showing statistical trends about Middle Eastern discrimination in the US as a whole. (Shown in the article “Confronting Islamophobia in the United States: Framing Civil Rights Activism Among Middle Eastern Americans”)
3
This subject is timely because everyone watches tv, so there’s always a way to watch discriminatory patterns.
This subject is timely because the US still does have people deployed in the Middle-East, so the topic of Middle-Eastern people and racial profiling is still relevant.
1) I'm not sure if you want to limit your topic to just the United States or not, but I know Europe has had many problems with stereotyping and racism against people from the Middle East
Delete2) For ethos you may also want to add in an example from the media on top of your personal story just to produce even more emotion from the reader.
3) This is also relevant because many campuses have large Middle Eastern populations
I like that your topic is narrow and focuses on racial profiling due to the media and not just racial profiling in general. Although the media is not the only cause of racial profiling, it certainly encourages it. Ethos could be more established by finding a credible article where a writer talks about many examples of racial profiling in the media and it's effect.
DeleteI'm impressed by your topic. I think personal story can be used to arouse the audiences' emotion and attention for this issue.
DeleteRacism is Still Alive in America
ReplyDeleteCollege students should care because:
•People lose opportunities because of their race, regardless of credentials
•We are the generation that could end racism
•We are educated and can see the problem more clearly than others
•Racial discrimination is illegal
•Every person should have an equal chance to succeed
Pathos:
•Talk about what it would feel like to be discriminated because of your race
•Talk about how many people racism largely affects
Ethos:
•Establish ethos by using peer-reviewed sources and studies
•Include recent studies and experiments regarding racism
Logos:
•Reason that a person’s race has no effect on their personality
•Stereotypes are immoral and a person should not be judged based on their race
Timely because:
•Some people are living low quality or fearful lives every day because of their race
•The Trayvon Martin case has presented many questions of racism and stereotypes

Delete1) Give specific examples of how racism is still alive in America today (incidents of racism in recent news such as the Trayvon Martin incident)
Delete2) Talk about what the stereotypes are of certain races and where you see them in your every day life
1) I maybe narrow it down to just one specific example of racism and establish it's in the US.
Delete2) Be careful with logos because articles regarding racism could try and employ more pathos, so watch out for that when establishing logos.
3) It's relevant because many college students deal with racism.
I think another reason that college students should care is that many people try to pretend that racism does not exist anymore and make little effort to eliminate it. College students should confront it and do something to chage it.
DeleteMain argument:
ReplyDeleteMovies over exaggerate the gap of socioeconomic gap between white and black in 1960s to make people aware of the issue.
Reasons:
1. College students were not born in that era so they are not familiar with this issue and need to know more.
2. College students are in a society in which there are black and white, Asian and Latino. They need to think more about the historical facts and link them with what is happening now.
3. They need to know what really happened then and what is exaggerated by the filmmakers.
4. This is a good issue to make college students think. And critical thinking is important for college students.
5. Movies are part of our life.
Establish ethos, pathos and logos on these subjects specifically.
1. Ethos: the facts in the movie The Help and what from the secondary sources are not matching. The movie over exaggerates the facts. For example, the portraying of white women in 1960s Mississippi.
2. Pathos: someone doesn’t even care about this issue, this kind of movie is really necessary.
3. Logos: I will use secondary sources I found.
Timely:
1. The movie The Help was released last year.
2. The comments of the movie were posted recently.
You may want to use another example besides the movie The Help. If you only use that as a source it reduces your credibility. Also think about finding a way to relate to college students on a more personal level.
DeleteI like your topic. It shows the relationship between film and history, which is a very interesting topic that definitely would grab my attention if reading it. Be sure to find comments of movies that show both positive/negative opinions of films. And be sure to talk about movies that are said to depict history accurately as well as the ones that over exaggerate.
DeleteYou have a very good topic, It would grab my attention. You should find a couple more film examples other than the movie, The Help. I would try and find a documentary or something that is perceived to be much more accurate if you can and compare the two. If you do that then you should have no problem with your paper.
DeleteThe main argument of my paper is that gender stereotypes/roles have negative effects in society.
ReplyDeleteA. Everyone is affected by it
B. people are treated unjustly b/c of their gender
C. gender may play a role in acceptance to some universities and getting hired in the workforce
D. people try to fulfill these stereotypes b/c that’s what they feel society wants them to do
E. it shows the immaturity of some people and the need for a change
2. a. Pathos by talking about how people’s self-esteem and attitude is changed by gender stereotypes
b. Ethos by using many reliable articles as sources and by talking about my understanding of the research available on the topic
c. Logos by using direct quotes from my secondary sources.
3. a. gender stereotypes are at an increasingly high with all the social media around us
b. gay marriage fits into gender stereotypes, Obama recently came out in support of it
As long as you use current examples and relate your topic to the students, you should be great. The topic is very timely
DeleteYou have a solid argument that revolves around gender roles/stereotypes. When writing your paper, be sure to make a smart connection between that and gay marriage if you intend to talk about it. There's a lot you can work with, it just matters on how you connect it all under the subject of gender.
DeleteI like your topic. It is timely and relevant.Just include reliable sources to support your argument and make connections between them to make it flow smoothly.
DeleteInterference of Immigration by American Patriotism
ReplyDeleteWhy you should care.
• People need to accept American diversity.
• Patriotism is good, but not using it by discriminating other races.
• Many people from different countries are moving to the United States
• American culture is changing as more and more people come.
• The United States is changing and will be different in future.
Two ways to establish ethos, pathos, logos
• Use That 70s Show Clip used in first paper
• Use secondary sources on American Patriotism used in annotated bibliography
Two ways this subject is timely
• More and more people from different countries come to the United States every day.
• In the near future, Spanish could become an official language in the United States as it’s estimated that a large number of the population will be Spanish speakers.
realize i didn't write specifically for ethos, pathos, and logos. having trouble a little with what to write about.
Deletemay want to think about a better way to establish ethos and pathos, it seems like all you did was establish logos. mention the fact that most of us here came from other countries through our ancestry. bring an emotional component into it, like a personal story if you have one.
DeleteMaybe to establish pathos you can provide examples that depict how immigrants feel due to Americans who refuse to accept the changing ways. For ethos you should think about some specific examples you have had with people from other countries and show how you have accepted them, explaining why others should as well.
Deletemaybe you can talk about pathos and logos. Ther are a lot of movies about patriotism, so maybe you can use one of them as an example.
DeleteBeing racist may have negative effect on our behaviors.
ReplyDelete1. 5 reasons that college students should care: in our university, people from all over the world study together, so it is important to get along with each other. In order to reduce hate crimes, we need to know something about racism. Being racist may affect our behaviors and sometimes make people more violence and easier to be anxious. So we should know the negative effects of racism.
2. 2 ways to establish ethos, pathos and logos: Ethos: I’ll use those two articles, “Perceived racism and mental health among Black American adults: A meta-analytic review” and “racism and self-assessed health status,” which both talked about how health level is associated with racism. Pathos: use the example of hate crimes. logos: Use Easy bib for citation and ask friend to read the essay.
3. Two ways this subject is timely: There were several hate crimes happened this year in the Ohio state university, so I think that people should be aware of this.
For ethos you should mention any specific incidents you have experienced/witnessed with racism. For pathos, you can elaborate on how those incidents made the person being targeted feel, and explain why there is no room for racism in this society, especially on Ohio State's campus. I think you should use your articles to establish your logos because they probably have good examples of how and why racism has negative effects on people. That way, the articles can give reason and logic to the argument you are trying to make.
Deletethis is for sure a timely subject, so that is good. i think what you put for ethos would actually be logos though, as it doesnt talk about you directly but instead the sources you used. i would check with silas though i could be wrong. definitely use a strong pathos component though, i think that will go a long way.
ReplyDeleteArgument: homophobia and homophobic bullying is harmful for both homosexuals and homosexuals, so it should be eliminated.
ReplyDelete5 reasons that college students should care:
1. College students may have homosexuals around them. If they are affected by homophobia, it is hard for them to treat homosexuals as same as treat other people. They may have communication problem with homosexuals and the negative mode towards homosexuals is not good for their mental health.
2. College students they themselves may be homosexuals. They may have experienced homophobia and homophobic bullying, so they know how much pain homophobia can take to homosexuals. They should break the silence and make effort to eliminate it to protect themselves and other homosexuals.
3. All people should be treated equally no matter what sexual identity they have.
4. Homophobia is not the thing created in one day and it affects people’s life in a bad way for a long time.
5. College students have the chance to have education and the education makes them credible to the public. If they can aware the importance of eliminating homophobia and homophobic bullying and tell it to the people around them, they might create a better environment for homosexuals.
Ethos:
1. Many psychologists have made research to study the damage of homophobia to homosexuals.
2. Quote what experts said about this.
Pathos:
1. I will use the coming out experience of a lesbian college student to let the audiences feel sympathy for her and think that homophobia should be stopped.
2. I will use the homophobic attack experience of a lesbian participant of a homophobia avoidance research to let the audiences know they should treat this issue seriously.
Logos:
1. I will use the survey result to show many homosexuals have the bullied experience.
2. I will use the academic research of the damage of homophobia on homosexuals to support this argument.
Timeliness:
1. Homophobic bullying happens every day and people suffer from it.
2. The TV show Glee even shows attention to this issue.
I think you have a great arguement as a whole. However, you could use better ways to show that the topic is timely. Also, for ethos you could find an article of somebody who has experienced this kind of bullying first hand.
Delete1) You could talk about the recent North Carolina gay marriage ban as part of the general topic of people being against homosexuality.
Delete2) Your ethos, pathos, and logos are all really good and should grab the reader's attention very easily.
3) Your reasons why college students should care are detailed which will make it easy for you to write an essay appealing to college students.
1) I would get a survey that shows how many people struggle with the their sexual identity to show that there is perhaps a larger population of gay people than one might anticipate.
Delete2) You might want to show how it is that bullying actually affects people, not just that they are. By doing this you can reinforce your argument as to why it is that bullying is bad.
3) It's relevant because many young adults struggle with sexual identity, and so having your possible way of life oppressed is a bad thing.

Argument: Women are inferior because of the way they are perceived but they are superior because of the many characteristics that allow them to hold powerful positions in many areas.
College students should care:
1. It is a problem when the media exploits women
2. Females often look at an ad of some sort and try to be like the person they are admiring
3. The double standard between men and women have not gotten better
4. Could help society break down the walls of gender inequality
5. College students are the main target when it comes to exploitation of women and double standards in the college life
Ways to establish ethos, pathos, and logos.
Ethos:
1. From my annotated bibliography I will use this article “T.V. Advertisements’ Are They Exploiting Women” and this article speaks on how the media advertisements to be exact exploit women and the study they conducted gave way for people to see that the ads do exploit women.
2. From personal experience I was told I couldn’t do something because I was a female and they chose guys to help out instead.
Pathos:
1. An advertisement is posted and a girl is half naked selling jeans what would you think if this was your sister modeling…..
2. A young girl was told she could only get ahead in life if she looked like a model and did the things they do.
Logos:
1. Michelle Obama is successful but if wasn’t for our president Barack Obama she wouldn’t probably wouldn’t have as much as an impact as she does.
2. Gender inequality is a problem but not many people would like to change it.
Subject timely:
1. Women in society are trying to come up and yet they can’t because of the stereotypes set upon them
2. Exploiting women is at an all-time high and yet it continues to happen.
(1)You might want to mention how it is still timely because of the paygrade gap between men and women
Delete(2)You might want to use logos and maybe bring in a source that talks about how men are equal to women
(3)You might want to talk about why college students should care after college as well because they will be treated differently when looking for jobs then men.
1)Your subject is very timely, but it might help by giving specific examples of how it affects college kids
Delete2)You could use pathos more with more specific examples of how women are inferior
3)You could use how this has affected college kids more specifically
very timely subject. important to state what the repercussions could be and how people may act once they are treated unfairly.
