After the time we have spent learning all the different forms of communication, I can say with confidence I'm glad I retook this class with Dr. Wielgos. This is the first College Writing Course I have taken where I can say without any hesitation that I actually learned a lot. From argument and research synthesis to establishing the proper medium based on the audience being spoken to, I will be leaving this class with much more knowledge than when I came into it, something I could never say about any of the previous writing classes I've taken.

I also enjoy increasing my range of knowledge because it allows me to adapt to and perceive my life with a stronger sense of understanding. I also care about my friends, for without them earning money has no purpose because it is not about what you're spending but who you're spending on and with. While I would love to be making a ridiculous sum of money, the money itself is only a means to allow me to purchase things either for myself or others. I'm also a man of little needs, so most likely the money would be spent on those that I care about. Their happiness is connected to mine, after all so seeing the looks on their faces when I am able to surprise them with gifts is one of my greatest joys. Perhaps the one thing I care about the most is simply being happy, and the best way for me to be happy is to have money and an education.<br />
<br />
While several people may be affected by what I care about as well, the people to care the most about this would be my friends and family because they are the ones I would be spending the most time and money on. My friends have always looked out for me whenever I was in need of assistance; whether it was a few bucks for gas or a shoulder to lean on during the hard times there are no people I trust more than the people I have chosen myself. My family is even higher up on the list of people who care about what I care about because it is mostly their values that have allowed me to become the person I am today. My mother has always had my back in every facet of life; whether it was getting dumped by my first girlfriend of 3 years or finding out I was going to college, my mom has always made my priorities her own. She cares about what I care about because she simply wants me to be happy in life and to succeed at whatever I wish to excel at. It is for those reasons that my friends and family are the people who are affected by what I care about because it affects them as well.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115630476031021207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707823014491872881.post-86241504466485064402014-11-13T20:12:00.001-08:002014-11-13T20:12:06.465-08:00Writing Project 3: Argument SynthesisI am curious to see what ways Ethos-based appeals can be formatted to a topic outside of ethical standards, since outsourcing essentially spits in the face of all ethical forms of business operations as far as legally permitted.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115630476031021207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707823014491872881.post-69380874255900770552014-11-11T09:32:00.002-08:002014-11-11T09:32:31.685-08:00In today's world, the concept of job security is one that is quickly fading into obscurity; with countless jobs being outsourced to foreign employees for the sake of cost in addition to several technological advancements seeking to drive the human factor out of countless work-related positions, it is becoming harder and harder for Americans to maintain jobs that were once bountiful and plenty. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize articles by investigative reporter and <i>New York Times </i>columnist Thomas L. Friedman in order to demonstrate the importance of both a <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">diversified
skill set regarding employment on a worldwide basis as well as the necessity for American workers to specialize themselves in a broad range of skills to increase their employment appeal. I plan to argue that the best way for people to develop a broad skill set in addition to specialized abilities in order to increase their chances of not only acquiring a career but maintaining it as well is through specific interest identifiers to determine individual career interests. Doing this will allow for individuals to determine what their ideal job would entail and what knowledge would be required to achieve said job. I will also assert that it is paramount for individuals to identify at least two other careers they would be most content with and to develop the necessary skill sets for those careers as well to allow for a fail-safe. I hope to demonstrate to my audience that the best way to acquire and maintain employment in a world of globalization and technological breakthroughs is to develop multiple, broad ranges of knowledgeability while also managing to become specialized in those fields. </span><br />

<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115630476031021207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707823014491872881.post-4253369551698461022014-10-16T10:07:00.002-07:002014-10-16T10:07:54.838-07:00Design Plan for Photo Essay<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Despite the fact that so many
things in the world are products of an artistic design in one sense or the
other, it is not necessarily done in an obvious manner. Art, being of a majorly
subjective nature, is only defined as such if one arguing its existence as art
is able to explain in what ways something as common as a cell phone was
constructed with its exact specifications made in consideration to artistic
appeals. For my design plan, I intend to demonstrate that, given the proper
explanations as well as demonstrations, anything created by mankind can be
shown to be a form of art. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The first set of pictures I will use
will be pictures of artistic creations in the form of two-dimensional paintings
and drawings as well as three-dimensional pieces currently on display at the
Art Institute of Chicago. These recognized works of art were created solely for
the sake of expressing something, be it a story, a point of view or an opinion
on a modern social topic. As such, these pictures part of the first set are
intended to demonstrate and establish a standard for what American society today
views as art. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Next, the second ensemble of
pictures I plan on using are pictures of things such as advertisements and
billboard ads to demonstrate that even things not readily considered as art are
still designed with specifications steeped in artistic origin. One need to only
turn on a tv, look around in the supermarket at different brands of necessities
or even take a gander in the alcohol section and look at the labels on alcohol
to know that every label on every item is meant to evoke a certain emotion to
increase the possibility of purchase, a use of artistic design for the purpose
of marketing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Following this, the third set of
pictures I intend to use will be composed of everyday objects such as doorways,
cell phones or the chairs you sit under. The purpose behind these pictures is
critical because I intend to demonstrate that even something like a chair in
the library was created through art. After all, if there were no sense of
artistic design behind the conception of household items, or even the houses
themselves, wouldn’t everything look exactly the same? Even the case around
your phone was designed in such a manner to set it apart from another case by a
different creator, who through the specialization of his own case carried the
same intentions of individualization. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Last but not least, the fourth set
of pictures will be composed of people of all kinds in their respective
environments, an example of such being a teacher in their classroom or a
teenager hanging out with friends at the local skate park. The point behind these
pictures is to demonstrate that art exists outside of societal perceptions in
its own realm of pure subjectivity. In essence, as long as an activity being
performed holds aesthetic value (meaning that it is appealing, beautiful or of
higher significance than other activities) to the person performing it, to that
person it IS art. This makes it impossible for someone to say that another
person’s “art” does not meet necessary criteria because everyone has their own
opinions on aesthetic success<o:p></o:p></div>

These photos will hopefully
demonstrate my point that art can’t be defined because art is everything
created by man that we can see. After all, nothing is created without a sense
of purpose in mind; considering that fact, it only makes sense that to give
something a purpose requires it to be constructed in a certain manner. Anything
being created with an end result in mind requires it to be constructed using
artistic design to facilitate that certain end result.<o:p></o:p></div>

As human beings, we all desire the ability and freedom to express ourselves, whether it’s through our actions, our words or our beliefs. One of the best mediums for expression used by people is the creation of art.
Art, in spite of its nature as a term rather difficult to accurately define, by definition is “a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities”. At the same time, most people tend to know they’re looking at art the moment it crosses into their view; for example, a young man who sees a oil painting hanging on the wall of their girlfriend’s living room is able to identify that painting as a piece of art more than nine times out of ten. That being said, a person can’t help but wonder, “what is art?” or “who decides what constitutes an artistic piece and what is simply just trash?”
After all, the way people perceive reality is completely subjective; one person may listen to gangster rap and hear a catchy tune detailing a man’s attempts at avoidance in an eternal struggle against societal restrictions, while someone else may hear a man with violent tendencies and a penchant for drug abuse. On the same token, you may watch a Quentin Tarantino movie and be amazed by his use of non-linear plot structure but your friend can watch the same movie and become upset at his “excessive use of the N-word and overall foul language.” It is all up to viewpoint and no one person’s is exactly the same.
Following that truth, my purpose is to demonstrate that it is literally impossible to classify art using a universal standard because art is everything; whether it’s a Rembrandt classic or merely a can of beer, everything is created with a certain purpose and a certain aesthetic objective in mind. All you have to do is take a look at the world around you to notice that anything created by man was created to be exactly whatever it is. That, in itself is the nature of art.

It was interesting to see different ways that artists and movie producers employ appeals to Ethos, Pathos and Logos. It also gave me a chance to examine two of my favorite movies on a much deeper level. I also wanted to apologize for the length, I got carried away with my analysis.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Whenever I hear the words “film noir” I
picture a smoky black-n-white room, a private investigator sipping bourbon at
his desk and a gorgeous woman of ambiguous intent bursting through the door
begging for aid. Often times, this was a precise depiction of the several noir
films to gain prominence in the 1940’s. To further stereotypes, present on
almost every film noir poster is a picture of the two lead roles, always a man
and a woman, who are always engaged in some form of sexual relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Noir has evolved greatly since the Golden
Age of Hollywood, with a new breed of “neo-noir” films that makes use of modern
filmmaking technologies in conjunction with film noir techniques replacing the
standard. Perhaps even greater than the shift in presentation is the shift of
emphasis on the lead role’s relationships away from that of a single romantic
companion in favor of a network of casual relationships outlining an otherwise solitary
existence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">In this paper, my purpose is to
demonstrate how neo-noir films seek to impose a mantra emphasizing personal
solitude in conjunction with as opposed to noir films of the 1940s, which
emphasized the importance of intimate companionship on a personal level. I plan
on accomplishing my purpose by demonstrating a difference in appeals to Ethos,
Pathos and Logos present between two poster sets; one set comprised of film
noir posters and another compiled of two of their neo-noir successors’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">From there, I will compare and contrast
the design and construction of the two sets by taking note of several factors
employed by the artists such as; lighting; color and lack thereof; saturation; font
type; wording and placement; number of characters present in the posters, as
well as their placement, positioning and affects; the vantage point of the poster
and the resultant vantage point of the viewer; and similarities &
differences found between the two posters in the film noir set as well as any
commonalities and distinctions between the two posters in the neo-noir set. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Hopefully after this paper, I will have
thoroughly demonstrated how noir films in the past 10 years have begun to
implement themes encouraging isolation in a drastic shift from 1940s noir films
that placed significance on the importance of companion-based intimacy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I eventually realized that coordinating the photos necessary to demonstrate my purpose would be near impossible, so I switched my topic to one stating the universality of art. After completing my photo essay, I feel confident in saying that I believe I was successful in accomplishing the new goal I had set for myself. This was one of the more difficult yet entertaining assignments I've received at college; while it's still work, we had more of a sense of creative liberty which you don't see a lot in general education classes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115630476031021207noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707823014491872881.post-87710346821829277572014-09-04T09:59:00.002-07:002014-09-04T10:03:06.597-07:00What matters to me at this exact moment is probably the worst question that could've been asked because I quite frankly have no idea what I want other than to be successful. I know how I plan on doing it though; through a mix of hard work and perseverance. My life is a little too hectic at the moment to focus on those two concepts together but I just have to be patient and wait for a moment of clarity to put things in perspective for me.<br />
What interests me however, is a much easier question to answer, since everything I have a vested interest in involves the human condition; basically, any topic pertaining to learning why people do the things they do.<br />
What I want to learn is any possible way to learn how to express my ideals & beliefs in any medium with a master's touch and improve my personal ability at writing on all spectrums. Communication is power and I've noticed the best communicators (often masters of persuasion) have the ability to convince someone to follow their lead while making the other feel as if the idea to follow was their own, a skill I find to be indispensable since working with others is an unavoidable part of life. <br />
As far as investigating something of my choice, I'm a criminal justice major; my personal creed is all about investigation, whether its information about how to write better or how to develop healthy eating habits. I'm a very open individual person in the sense that as long as I feel a topic has depth, I will have no problem going out and learning more about it on my own.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16115630476031021207noreply@blogger.com0
