ENGL 147N Week 1 Discussion: Pro-Position Topics<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read\/review the following resources for this activity:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply the following writing resources to your posts:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Please review the Point: Vaccines Save Lives, an example of a\u202f<\/span>pro<\/span><\/b>\u202farticle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note:<\/span><\/b>\u202fThe article was pulled from our Chamberlain library’s Points of View Reference Center database. This resource is highly recommended, as it presents many of the topics in the General Education Healthcare field that may be applicable this term. To access the resource from our library website, choose\u202f<\/span>Databases A to Z<\/span><\/b>\u202fon the homepage. Locate and click on the\u202f<\/span>Points of View<\/span><\/b>\u202fdatabase.\u202f Scroll down to\u202f<\/span>Health & Medicine<\/span><\/b>. You will see a large list of potential topics ranging from Allergies in Schools to Vegetarianism. When you click on a topic (Vaccines, for example), you will see an overview of the topic, as well as points, counterpoints, and a guide to critical analysis.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For your initial post, develop your ideas about a selected topic by conducting an online search to find a recent pro article about your topic. The goal is to find an article that takes a clear pro position. Include the following in your post:<\/span> The article can be an online source from credible websites or an academic resource from the Chamberlain Library. It\u202f<\/span>must be cited<\/span><\/b>\u202fin APA format. For pointers on APA citations, please refer to the Chamberlain Library\u2019s\u202f<\/span>Citation and Writing Assistance<\/span><\/b>\u202fwebsite (noted in the Required Resources).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the second part of the initial post, address the following:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Strive to provide constructive criticism that will help your fellow students develop their own topics by asking questions, pointing to additional research, or providing professional and personal examples. Help your fellow peers to brainstorm potential pros for their topics. Since many of the topics we will deal with in this course are controversial, a respectful, professional tone is expected.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note:<\/span><\/b>\u202fIf you see that someone has already received feedback from two peers, please choose to help a peer who has yet to obtain feedback.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This activity will be graded using the Discussion Grading Rubric.

I look forward to jumping right into these topics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You may begin posting on Monday, March 2 for credit. This week, we will be discussing Pro-Position Topics.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As you\u2019ll recall from the reading, there are a few different strategies for generating a topic. The first one discussed was doing preliminary research. I think this is always a good approach to try. It\u2019s a great idea to take a look at the current, argumentative, hot topics. One way to do this would be to check out the databases in the library. You can look for recently published articles on a broad topic you are interested in, and narrow it down based on what research is available. Another technique is simply turning to the news. Current news is usually full of controversial topics. Finally, the reading mentioned chatting with family, friends, and colleagues. What issues are people talking about these days? If you work in a medical facility, what are the issues being debated right now? These are all really good ways to determine a topic you would like to pursue.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another thing we are focusing on this week is the audience. When I was working as a staff writer for various news and arts publications, I had to consider this often. Depending on the publication, I might want to think about the age, education level, political views, or general ideas of my audience. Sometimes an audience might be broad, while it could be very specialized other times. These are all things to take into consideration when writing. It could affect style and delivery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When we take a look at the example of a pro-position source, like \u201cPoint: Vaccines Save Lives,\u201d we note that the recommendation that children be vaccinated against certain illnesses is for two reasons: 1) to protect individual children against disease and to help them develop antibodies, and 2) to eradicate the diseases by \u201cwiping out the bacteria and viruses that cause these diseases\u201d (Lee & Carson-Dewitt, 2017). The authors mention smallpox and polio, which are unheard of in this country, thanks to vaccines. They also name the current list of diseases that doctors recommend vaccinating against.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You will want to find a source that does the same for your own topic: argues in favor of it for a list of reasons. You will be looking at your source and naming three pro-positions about your topic.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If I were, for instance, looking for pro-positions for requiring the HPV vaccine for girls and boys, I might give the following:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A 2012 study involving 190,000 young women found \u201cno new safety concerns\u201d with the Gardasil vaccine (Joelving, 2012). It was found that some pre-existing illnesses were discovered in a handful of patients when they received the shots, but the shots did not cause those conditions. The only side effects that researchers observed during the study were fainting and mild rashes, which were expected. All side effects were temporary.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If I were interested in showing the pros of vaccinating against HPV, I would look to the statistics (prevention of 60-70 percent of cervical cancers<\/a> and prevention of 90 percent of genital warts). Those numbers are huge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I look forward to your posts!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joelving, F. (2012, October 1).
