Essay 3 has definitely been the most enjoyable yet the most challenging for me to write. Since I love my topic so much, it can be hard to get my thoughts down on paper and find the right sources to include in my writing. #RHUB200

@meganfabiola01 This is a super impactful image. You could mention how much work goes in to making such a simple article of clothing and how people take this for granted - like the lady in the visual. #RHUB200.

@BiancaAugusto23 This is a great visual for your topic in this essay. What paragraph will you put this in? What is the main point that you will try to make using this visual?

One claim that McCarthy makes is that McCain was a privileged man who lived a powerful life. He backs this up by saying that that McCain could have used his power to be released after he was captured. However he did not, so this is not a good example of his privilege. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@veronica_brvo This idea may apply to your argument because of the division between people and the idea of moral reframing. Maybe your argument is proved to be true due to the little diversity and the separation of people.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@BiancaAugusto23 I completely agree with this. What is a way that we can socially improve this divide and not separate ourselves from people with different values?

When Rob Willer discussed the polarization and opposing values between liberals and conservatives, it related to my argument how anti-vaxxers value opposite things than those who vaccinate their children. This extends my argument by highlighting the divide between the two groups.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

This essay is the toughest one to write so far out of the three essays. It is difficult to remember all of the requirements for the bibliography as well as the essay, so it gets confusing when thinking about the essay as a whole.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@BiancaAugusto23 This is a great topic! You could also talk about how much money that college athletes are forced to spend on medical help due to injuries from their sport. This could be another main argument for why college athletes should be paid.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@yvonneisalias I would suggest you include how some social media apps purposefully use addictive software and how large companies design their apps. For example, talk about "the infinite scroll" when you scroll through endless content without clicking, and how it becomes a habit.

Argument: Vaccinations have been encouraged since the 18th century and have saved the lives of millions. It should be federal law to be vaccinated in order to attend public school. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

For essay 3 I will write about the Anti Vaccination Movement through a nursing lens. One of the articles I will use is titled "The anti-vaccination movement" to explore people's reasoning behind their decision to not get vaccinated. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@BiancaAugusto23 This is super interesting! I wonder how it would affect student athletes at SDSU exclusively if their student athletes began to get paid.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@meganfabiola01 I love this topic! Many people are unaware of the environmental consequences of fast fashion and I think it's an important thing to share. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

This essay seems to be a bit more difficult for me to write than the first one was. I think it's because demagoguery is a new topic for me, so it poses as a challenge to look at LaPierre's speech through a demagogic lens. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@Jezira3 LaPierre would have expanded his audience by providing sympathy for those who were affected by the shooting. Because of his lack of pathos in his speech, his audience was very limited and his argument was not effective.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@BenjaminHeffler LaPierre blamed Obama for taking advantage of the Sandy Hook shooting, when in reality LaPierre did the same. He thought that people would automatically agree with him because of the tragedy, so he lacked pathos and sensitivity which ultimately hurt his argument.

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

Those who would embrace LaPierre’s argument are those who are most likely American gun owners. It is likely that his speech only pushed those who do not agree with him further away due to his lack of sensitivity and absence of addressing the other side of his argument. #RHUB200

[Marie Nash @marienashh]

@Jezira3 I agree with you. I think that if LaPierre used more pathos in his speech he would have been able to reach a larger audience, therefore making his argument more effective.
