Recommended: Merits and demerits of critical thinking

It takes an extreme amount of focus and determination for people to write a paper, especially me. As my time in ENC 101 comes to an end this semester, my writing skills have improved dramatically. Everything that I learned was to better myself for my upcoming courses in ENC. Most professors will be expecting their students to know how to write what the may consider being the “perfect paper”. With the number of reading assignments that I have completed this semester, I believe that I will be ready. I love the fact that we were able to peer review other student’s papers in class. It is always best to have another individual peer review your paper because mistakes that you may not have been able to recognize, they probably will. When I peer review, I learn and gain new ideas that may …show more content…

Further one, Being that I am a citizen, I play major a role in democracy. I am expected to vote, pay taxes, obey the law, know my rights, understand the government responsibilities, know what is going on in our country, and so on. Basically, being a citizen is like having a job, but unlike a regular job you can never quit or get fired. Since it is part of my job as a citizen to know what is going on in this country, I must be careful when I am reading articles, blogs, and so forth. At times, the news that you see on these articles and blogs they might not be a credible source, which is another skill that I learned in ENC 1101. There are plenty of fake news that is being published every day on different websites. At times, they may seem realistic, which is why we have to be careful. It is best to look at the top-level domain (.gov, .net, .edu, .com, .org, .mil), search up the publisher or author and their goals and interest to get a better

  • Reflection Of My Writing Process

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    Writing is a process I’ve grown to despise. Ever since grade school, I’ve had problems trying to express my ideas on paper. My writing process involves thinking about what’s being asked and trying to reflect my thoughts the best way I can on paper, but my thoughts don’t always come out as clear as I want them to be sometimes leaving a question not fully answered. My writing process isn’t a consistent set in stone process, but since being in ENC 1101 I always follow some of the same parameters such as revising my drafts, grammar usage and considering context and audience.

  • Stuck in Love

    1593 Words  | 4 Pages

    They don’t tell you how much you’ll fall until you do. The collapsing feeling, the absolute captivity, the apparent numbness and euphoric feeling of love. You go through the different stages either epically or not at all. You skip past the bullshit and reveal your true self or you get stuck in it and can’t get through. I’m in the room and I look around only to find my significant other. What had he been doing here? I panicked and I darted out of his view. I stumbled into the bathroom and collected myself. Opened the medicine cabinet and swished some mouthwash around. I looked in the mirror at my bloodshot eyes and wished I could just fall asleep and stay inside forever. I fell to the floor and slowly drifted and then I left. I often left and I liked it that way. Checking out of life one whiskey shot at a time. I was found wrapped around porcelain. He found me. And he never knew why I was there. My boyfriend Jack carried me away. As I glanced over his shoulder I glared at the source. The source of my fatality. I hadn’t felt alive in a really long time. But I didn’t want to. He stared back and winked at me.

  • The Importance of Accuracy in Journalism

    1913 Words  | 4 Pages

    The introduction of the internet to modern society has brought about a new age of information relation. Since there is no longer a need to wait until the next print day, news from all over the world is available at a person’s fingertips within hours or even minutes of the event. With this advent of such easily accessible information, new problems for the news media have also arisen. Aside from potentially losing good economic standing because newspapers are no longer being purchased in the quantities they used to be, the credibility of the information itself is also put into question. No one would argue that credibility of news sources is unimportant, but there is a discrepancy in what takes precedence; economy and speed or getting the information out correctly at the first publishing by taking the time to make sure all facts are checked. The importance of having a system of checks on all information submitted is paramount. People trust what they read and believe it to be so without always questioning. If all information were to not be checked thoroughly, there would be instances where people read an article only for information included to be wrong and they go on believing such information. This can be very dangerous as misinformed people make misinformed decisions. With an increase in errors being made by citizen bloggers and even major publications, many are worried that journalistic ethics and credibility in the news media are being sacrificed in order to maintain swiftness in the news circuit and to retain personal profits. Though getting information to the masses quickly is a major part of the media’s importance, this should not mean that the credibility of that information being presented should be sacrificed for it...

I was able to collaborate and receive ample amount of feedback from my colleague, which was extremely useful in organizing my research and constructing the appropriate methods that would be used throughout my study.

  • Telling The Truth Essay

    Lately we’ve been getting numerous reports about fake news. Fake news is basically a political lie to get the people to not like the other person or campaign because they want the people to be on their side so they can win whatever they’re running for. Most of us are perceived to fake news by simply watching CNN, NBC, and other major worldwide tv networks. Now that most of us have smart phone, simply just clicking on an article could mean you’re reading into fake news and something or someone else. Reading something on the internet doesn’t mean the article is true and it doesn’t mean you should believe it because people have their own perspectives and have their own opinion about people. Sometimes news or information can be misleading and can quickly change how
