I really enjoyed the flat earth society presentation because they had a lot of good reasoning as to why there two sources were fake and they were able to keep the audience engaged throughout the presentation. It was overall a really strong presentation. #RHUB100

@TristonRSW I agree and find it very difficult to find what news is actually the truth. It makes me question the news and whether or not the news I am reading the completely true. I think one day it will come back on us and we might not be able to believe what is real and not.

Soll talks fake news and how it affected us in the past and now. He explains the history behind fake news and how real news will not return anytime soon because newspapers, social media and other news sources filter it so much. He thinks fake news will continue to grow. #RHUB100

@WakerSophia I definitely agree with Ali because if you for sure know what you are interested in, and understand what you have to do, college is a good pathway to success.

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

In Derek Newton’s article, “Please Stop Asking Whether College Is Worth It,” he explains that college is still the number way to a successful future and, unlike Caplan, sees higher education as a good investment. #RHUB100

In the article "What's College Good for?" by Bryan Caplan, he explains that high school and college is not the best gateway to real life skills you might use in the workforce. He states that many people do not use information they learned in college in their job. #RHUB100

I choose the article https://t.co/eiQB8idptZ to compare to Ramsey. This article talks about how college is the most direct path that will get you the money you are seeking, and while Ramsey focuses on multiple sides of the argument, Derek Newton concentrates on one. #RHUB100

All three of the articles today in the class had a form of pathos. One that really stood out to me was the personal anecdotes in Enoch Jemmott's article entitled, “The Implicit Punishment of Daring to Go to College When Poor." It allowed for a deeper connection. #RHUB100

@mikkel_bituin I never really thought about it like that, but I totally agree. Authors need to do everything they can to make sure the audience will side with them

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

I really enjoyed learning more about assumptions because that was a topic I struggled with in high school. I was fascinated by the different types of assumptions and did not know there was so much variety. I learned that certain assumptions can be made about the audience.#RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

In Evan DeFillipis and Devin Hughes's article, "The Myth Behind Defensive Gun Ownership," She starts with various stories that tell how gun owners cause terrible incidents that leave innocent people dead. I think that this was a very strong start to her article. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

After going over the multiple different rhetorical strategies in class, it was easier to look at Zamzow's article and tell what specific strategy she was using. It gave me a new understanding of what she is overall trying to accomplish with her piece. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

@ShannahNelson1 Definitely! I think being aware of our own assumptions allows us to dictate what we think on the topic, and is a great tool for analyzing the text. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

@mikkel_bituin I also agree. It is a lot easier to identify who the author is trying to reach out to and gives us the opportunity to decide whether we agree or disagree with the given assumption. It helps us determine where we stand as readers. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

Today, while learning about assumptions, I realized that assumptions can either be implied or directly stated. I think that the assumptions in the article that we read in class today were implied, not directly stated. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

@AliQadirzada @JRobH1988 I totally agree! The rhetorical précis makes writing essays a lot simpler. It allows us to get a greater inderstanding of the text, and overall, compose a well written essay

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

@KhaNguy14026436 While I do agree that there is a possibility of this enhancement being miss used, I still think Sandel sees genetic engineering as a risk rather than an opportunity. And when opportunities like this show up, it is in our best interest to explore it to our fullest.

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

I have found that writing rhetorical precis and evaluation paragraphs on articles that we have read in class have given me a better understanding of the text, and help me pick out certain ideas to include when writing my essay. #RHUB100

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

@BethanyAndy I also think that society is selfish and who to say that parents won't take advantage of this technology and use it for the wrong reasons? I don't think technology is the problem, but the users behind it.

[Nathan Anthony @NathanA68624225]

In “Enhancements are a Moral Obligation,” Harris takes the topic of enhancement and relates it to nature by saying if it were wrong to interfere with nature, we wouldn't be able to practice medicine. This makes me question what's so different about genetical enhancement? #RHUB100
