#RHUB200 I agree with what Willer is claiming. Political polarization has gotten to a point where both parties don't even know why they support certain issues. This relates to universal healthcare being very politically polarized even though it is an issue that affects us all.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@YamadaKiomi Are you going to analyze the effect that this would have on taxes as well? Would this detract from school funding at better-funded schools? I think that these would be good points to analyze too.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@BenjaminHeffler I like your example of using Pong. I think that you should analyze more modern videogames as well because video games have definitely gotten more violent over time.

Unlike many other developed countries, America does not have a free healthcare system. America's healthcare system is overly capitalistic and is hurting many Americans financially. Financial changes need to be made to create a more modernized system. #RHUB200

@pierre_donte This is an interesting topic. I'm intrigued about learning about recent trends and how partial legalization has affected certain states.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@shepard_keito Very cool! I'm interested in seeing especially the effects that technology has had on our generation socially.

and why our healthcare system is the way that it is. I think this source will be very useful in constructing my argument.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

#RHUB200 https://t.co/gmG1yvrila This is my source for my argument: Why healthcare should be free in the US. This source actually seems somewhat politically unbiased, unlike most of the other sources that I found. It talks about our history,

#RHUB200 LaPierre can be compared to Negan from the Walking Dead in the way that he victimizes himself and the NRA. Just as Negan uses victimization to justify his actions, LaPierre uses victimization to vilify those who are against him and defame the character of his critics.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@GinaLatimer2 Truth. The only audience that seems like they would agree with this argument are people who are set on keeping their guns, and who believe that more guns will solve problems.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@BenjaminHeffler I agree with this completely. He is using the tragedy to his advantage in order to make it seem like we need changes immediately.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

#RHUB200 Wayne LaPierre's intended audience for his argument presented in his speech is definitely people who already support the NRA. LaPierre is trying to stir these people up and create even more polarization between the two sides of the gun control argument.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@JajouLanna True, me too Lanna. I think that the rough draft and editing process helped me through this essay a lot.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@YamadaKiomi I very much agree. While I don't like who Pierre is, and he seems very fake when he speaks, he does make logical points.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

#RHUB200 LaPierre seems to be trying to appeal to a lot of people. His speech seems obviously oriented towards pushing his political agenda, and he seems slightly emotionless about the tragedy. It seems like he is just trying do damage control for the NRA.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

#RHUB200 My writing process for this essay has been going better than expected. I was able to get a rough draft down on paper pretty easily, but now I am making sure that I answered the entire prompt. I am also reorganizing my essay a little bit.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@JajouLanna True, Lanna. I very much agree! The model is very useful for identifying how the author structured their argument.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@EliasTijuana42 I agree with this. It's hard to understand the nuances of it, but very useful once you understand it.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@meganfabiola01 I very much agree with this. The Berliners in the audience seem very on board with what Regan is saying. He seems to actually want positive change in Berlin.

[Luke Duncan @LukeDun43858165]

@CameronHRWS200 Very true! He speaks with a lot of confidence and speaks very truthfully. It adds a lot of power and validity to his claims.
