Week 7

This week has been another informative week. Learning proper citation for my craft will  be a very challenging yet demanded portion to my success as a student. There will be many assignments in my future where proper citation will either make my assignment be considered to be as solid as concrete or slippery as a wet floor. I think that this will help me to give not only proper credit to my sources but also the most of complimenting to the intelligence of the audience that reads my paper. There wil also be more than enough time to research my information to make sure that the quoted words are cited properly even if I have to make changes by using  parenthetical citation from time to time.

My next adventure this week has been finding a nurse practitioner that has a life: that is a life less busy that Charlie Sheen's life. This seemingly endless task has been an like walking through a waterless desert while sipping on peach dirt schnapps and other types of nonliquid alcohol's. I am so thirsty to get an interview I feel like a dehydrated nerd on his first date. LOOPY! I will however continue to strive to reach this goal of achieving a completed interview and an outstanding overall report. I do realize that people do have busy live but wow! Well this is all for week seven. Have a nice one!

(All of paragraph two was written while thinking "I promise that once I become a professional to never forget that I was once a student".)

What I've been learning in my Academic working Environment

Week 6. . . Well I feel like this has been a total acceptable challenge so far. I have learned many old lessons in the correct fashion is where I want to start this short essay. My academic environment has humbled me to realize that I remember learning: but I don’t know everything!

I thought that since I could get on stage and “rock a crowd” with a poetic touch that I knew the basics as well as I knew my first name.  For example my punctuation is really a key to how I communicate from first pause to the last letter. I took it for granted that just because you write how you talk in a poetic environment that it would be the same in a broader literary environment. This has proven to definitely not be the case. So I will be working on that aspect of my experience in this class. I do however feel compelled to expand and tweak that issue as well as my vocabulary. Believe it or not, I am flattered to be able to work on these things to better myself. Not only better myself in this area as a student but as a professional in my craft also.

Another aspect of what I am learning is that my research techniques need some work as well. I have done research and research papers before but not to the depth that we are going into in this class. I also appreciate this advance of knowledge and updating. I feel that as a student this will not only make me into an all around scholar of sorts but a better parent. This is because I will be able to pass on the abilities that I acquire from my classes on to my children that they may one day be able to advance in a remarkable fashion. I hope and pray that God keeps me on this smooth path to a successful future as well as my colleagues that are in class with me on a day to day basis. Thank you for your time reading this entry Professor Brand.

Reflective Essay for week 6

There are many different things that were learned this week though it was a short one. The most important thing that I have learned this week was the fact that citing is used not only to protect the writer, but it is also used to protect the person who is doing the citing also. Forgery charges are no joke at all. Not only that, citing gives the writer the credit that they deserve for being accomplished in their craft. I feel that citing is not only an silent code of respect between the source to the informed, it is also a silent code of self respect to those who not only are being informed but to those who are composers themselves.
This week I also learned that there has been a lack of responsibility on my behalf to complete my assignments in a timely manner. I feel that it is not fair for my professor to have to look for my asignments to make sure that they are posted on my blog at the last minute. Therefore I will be figuring out a way to rearrange my time to post my assignments at no later than ten hours before they are due. I apologize for this inconvenience with the utmost sincerity. I also want to send thanks to my readers for your time and engergy reading these blogs.

This Past Week in English Class.

I know this may not sound very reasonable at all, but this week I learned that patience is going to be needed to achieve an A in this class. I am being challenged more than I thought I would by this phenomenal professor of mine and I think I like it. There are more than just punctuation and grammatical corrections to worry about and I now know this to be absolutely true. This class brings on other strategies to becoming a composer instead of just another writer. We are definitely getting to the meat and potatoes of the class now. Learning the proper layouts to type papers in MLA format has been an honor. Going into this makes me want to learn more entry formats to write papers.

Surprisingly enough I am more than just satisfied with the pace of the class and the detail of my professor.  Professor Brand had made me start getting into the habit of not just reading the entries that I present to an audience- but reading them to make sure that the reader will develop understanding of the entire passage that I have written. The approaches I take will eliminate numerous amounts of revision, editing and proofreading sessions. I have already adapted some of these practices into my composition style with our first writing project and I was pretty solid if I must say so myself. I really do look forward to my results of the writing project that is due this coming week.

"They Say, I say" Chapter #2 Summary #2

Summary #2. Is being overweight a genuine medical problem rather than a problem of cultural stereotype?

There are many different ways to connect being overweight. There are also many solutions to take away the validity of it's cultural stereotype. Being overweight however can also be a symptom of a genetics. Neither "solution" can be brought to our attention without the proper facts. A look into a person's family health history is really needed to determine the call on this. A person could be doing this to themselves while going through some type of depression where they turn to food for comfort. They could also be overweight due to some genetic disorder where their body releases more cortisol, or even retains water. Nevertheless there are many contributing factors to the determination why someone would suffer from being overweight.

The facts listed above should show that the cultural stereotype thing in my mind is not an option. There are many different ways to approach the situation however culture is not an option. The fact remains that though a culture may not be known to have people with the smallest of body frames, not everyone in a culture will suffer being overweight. Many perple will look into the situation as saying that the cultural stereotype option is an excuse, not a point to be taken. Making a difference in these two views is important in a person knowing that their health condition can change, which we all know is the key to the successes of those who are trying to lose weight.

They say, I say page 41 exercise #2 Summary #1

Summary 1.
It has been interpreted by David Zinczenko that there is nothing healthy for youth to eat of convenience without major expense. He is insisting that the fast food industries responsibility to provide a healthier line of food to it's customers. He also suggest that this will suffice for the customers being solicited to these products anyhow. With all of the phantom calories that he seemingly speaks of, he claims that there are very little options for people to enjoy a tasteful and healthy meal. Although he admits that where a person spends their money is and option, he also claim that the convenience factor is missing is the battle of the American grocery and fast food restaurants industries.

I on the other hand contend these shots taken at the fast food restaurant industry. Just as the parent is responsible for getting to work to make money to support their family- it is also their responsibility to monitor the food comsumption of their children. Should these parents win in these court cases about the affects that the fast food industry has on their children; that decision would contradict the parents responsibility to make sure that their child or children are eating the right things. I qualify my view points with the following statement. The parents that make the household run by being strictly a friend to their child, instead of a responsible person to set the stage to promote a healthy lifestyle, are more than responsible than the person that sold the items. I say this in the fact that  they knowingly paid for their family members to be in an unhealthy situation.
