#RHUB200 the hardest part of Essay 3 for me has easily been trying to write to a different demographic. Trying to write to a different perspective in opposition is new to me and I find it easy to get lost trying to counter their possible points
@__alyssalee Fully agree! I would look at the opposition and some of the false facts and misconceptions they have about the topic. The Netflix doc "Reversing Roe" really dives into this! #RHUB200
@GinaLatimer2 So does that mean that the choice for women should be taken away? Applying a universal moral code is iffy and the real world consiquences that come with forcing women to seek illegal abortions is horrifying #RHUB200
Argument: Comprehensive Sex Ed is vastly important to be taught in middle school and high school to help early sexual health and decrease STD's and unwanted pregnancies #RHUB200
For my topic for Essay #3 I have decided to talk about Sex Education in schools. It’s a hot topic issue with people pushing for both more comprehensive and intense programs while others want to get rid of it entirely. My article is “Parent’s views on sex education in schools”
By busting heads in with baseball bats. Where this isn't really an option for LaPierre it does show how effective directly tying fear and tragedy to a message can be (2/2) #rhub200
LaPierre and Negan both try to use tragedy as leverage but to very different results. LaPierre tries to use the shooting to create a narritave for armed guards but struggles to back up any of the claims he makes. Negan on the other hand is able to back up his claims (1/2)
Wayne LaPierre attempts to draw a direct parallel to the decrease in guns to what he claims to be an increase in crime and violence but does nearly nothing to back up any of his claims. He blames topics with no context in facts. It's headlines that have little underneath them
Honestly writing this essay was not that hard to me simply because it is so Regan if that makes sense, what he is saying and how he is saying it perfectly aligns with who he is and how he handled other issues so I didn’t have to dive too far to understand the why of the speech
@leota_jonah Agreed though also by trying to inspire the people Reagan is able to add more pressure against him. It works from nearly all angles putting the ball in Gorbachev’s court forcing him to play along
@E_Ross2k20 Absolutely! It feels more impactful and genuine because it goes against the traditional political action one would take there. It comes off as Reagan speaking honestly from his perspective rather than a political agenda
Regan does a great job at downplaying the tension and conflict of the situation. He doesn't try to accuse the USSR or shame them too much. He tries to move on and show how the two parties could work together #rhub200
@BenjaminHeffler I disagree with that being a major issue. The point was how these characters and stories can connect with people, the medium doesn't greatly affect that imo (though I don't read comic books so I could be wrong)
@yvonneisalias He also gave very specific examples and focused much more on the male perspective despite trying to make the article inclusive to everyone "we". If you have a different experience it won't have the same impact for you
Jake Kraska's "Why We Worship Superheros" is a good article but also assumes that we do worship Superheros. If you don't have an already established connection with the subject it is hard to fully connect with what he is saying as you can give little validity to what he is
