I think the home page for the class on canvas could be better organized. It was kind of hard to navigate through it all.

I really think that my writing process will pay off with future career opportunities such as a full time job. The use of ethos, pathos, or logos pays a much larger role than we might imagine and can influence the way words affect us. While I use a writing process in future classes as well it will help my GPA and further help me excel in college.

My writing has improved I believe a strong amount, although I believe I need to put in more effort to make that happen especially in terms of grammar.

In the article  “Who Will Pay for the Future if Not the Robots?” by Matt Simon, there are a multitude quotes from reputable sources such as scientists and people with high knowledge of capitalism.  These quotes not only back up the thesis of the article, but persuade the reader. While I don’t agree with the thesis of the article I do understand what the opposing side is arguing. In general, without quotes and evidence a article is almost never reputable until it is supplied with evidence.

When I was younger when I heard of rhetoric it was applied to describe how someone was describing something or just someone’s way of writing or talking. I thought of it as someone’s style. Now as I have done a rhetorical analysis, I have seen how important rhetoric is in describing and persuading someone to believe the same way I believe. I feel a rhetorical analysis can be applied to anything in life.

My primary claim was “technology can get rid of jobs, but actually replaces them in larger quantities”. Many say technology is getting rid of jobs but wont mention the millions of new jobs that arise from it. For example, Apple has over 3 million careers as of right now. Coal mining jobs have decreased, but computer science jobs have increased by the millions! You get it now?

When your using any kind of source it is always important to figure out what your using. Sources can either be trustworthy and give you factual information or they can have a bad reputation and have very false info.  Knowing this will allow you think before believing and using a sources info. Always filter out your sources before you choose.

In the article I read, the thesis stated that technology is taking over our jobs and hurting the economy. It is fairly simple and cant be unproven because when you look at job 20 years ago and then compare them to today, they might have been completely replaced by computers. That means less jobs and less income tax being given to the government. There was no solution mentioned but their was a way to “cushion” the harmful effects known as a robot tax. This would just tax companies for the use of technology. The only counter argument I could think of is new jobs that will arise from the growth in technology through new discoveries. For example, computer programming. Humans will always remain the root of the growth in technology.

I always enjoyed when someone else would simply just read it out loud and we can both catch the mistakes. I believe revising by myself is ok, but having someone else is the key to correcting what needs to be fixed. The only thing I do not enjoy is when someone tries change the plot of my story or completely redirect my papers plot.

In this articles they used ethos, pathos, and logos. The author really expressed passion in the article for the the future of America, which really expressed ethos. In logos there was important facts that backed up the robots taking over the economy. Pathos was used when the author inflicted fear through this potential disaster. #thenewfuture
