Stasis is a 4 question process that encourages building knowledge, it also helps writers deeply analyze the issues at hand that they are trying to investigate further. To be more specific writers use stasis to investigate and attempt to determine the 4 questions, conjecture, definition, quality, and policy. Stasis is a useful tool to discover controversy, the essays we have been reading in class are all targeting the subject of racial situations which are all very controversial. Stasis is basically a clear question that’s purpose is to deepen the mind of the reader. In the article “Does …show more content…
“America: The Multinational Society” discusses America being a large melting pot. For conjecture the author loads us down with facts such as English and Spanish playing on a loud speaker of a train. The definition of the essay would be America is a melting pot and is part of Western civilization. Quality of the essay has a negative tone to it because the author is talking unenthusiastic about American society. This essay actually did not have a step 4 policy, where the author lets us know where they go on from here. This author just chose to wrap his writing up without a policy. “Muslims in America” by Paul Barrett is all about shocking facts to do with Muslim people. The conjecture of the essay is easy because this writing is so jammed packed with facts, the writer informs us about the statistics of the Sunnis vs. Sufism factors of the Muslim religion. The definition of this essay is everyone judges Muslim people but in reality most American Muslims for the most part have white collar jobs and make more money than the average white man. The quality of the essay seemed kind of angry he was having to write about this subject. This is another example of an essay with no question number 4, policy. The 5th and final essay we will be dealing with is “I’m not Racist but…” This essay is about the willful ignorance of our generation. The conjecture of this essay is answered by the way the author discusses how some oil workers started talking and began their sentences with “I’m not racist but...” The definition of the essay is that racism is more than just willful ignorance, it is with comfortable with and accepting stereotypes. The Quality of the essay is more on the negative side of things; the author seems bitter about the whole situation all together. The policy of the essay is the author telling the audience to not use racist words or phrases anymore and to stop racism all

    It 's a steaming task to scribe a literate piece of work after the society supposedly living on the fabric of innovation has contorted the entirety of its ethos through one political election. That being said, it 's foolhardy to encompass a society so handcrafted on the fable of autonomy while the larger duality seems to serve the exact anti-thesis-- As surprising it is to hear, we live in an America catered to the bigotry of Trump and his supporters. As repulsive as he may be, our voices are drowned out by other members of Americans fraternizing and embellishing his repugnancy through fraternity tail-gaiting events, and locker room hangouts between misogynists and racists. What concerns me most, aside from the grotesque locker-room…

    Published in 1988, Ishmael Reed’s “America: The Multinational Society” emphasizes how America is not a “mono-cultural” place, but a country greatly affected by the various cultures it supports. Reed assures his readers that America is constantly changing because of the rapid influx of immigrants from every direction. Because of this, Reed argues, America cannot be considered only a “Western civilization,” described as meaning "a civilization created by the people of Europe, as if Europe can be viewed in monolithic terms,” and expresses his new approach as “multicultural” (287). Reed further confirms that the existence of different ethnicities in America provides a means of harmony and unity between people; people feel comfortable living with people of…

    To me, being an American means that I am not forced into doing anything I don't want to do, like being forced to work in horrible conditions like they make kids do in other countries. Also, I am free, like free to choose how much money I make and how and where I would like to work (The American Dream). Here in the US, we have way more choices than other countries, like religion and jobs. Here we have the freedom of religion, we can practice just about any religion we want to like Christianity or Judaism. Also we can have any job we want to have like a business owner or an electrician.…

Conway presents the dangers of relying on the public or popular platform. One of the major issues is the public platform is the number of people in the discussion only fuels to the argument, thus it takes longer to achieve their objectives. The other issue is the stakes and implications the debates have on policy. In general, Merchants of Doubt teaches readers it is important to understand the source of the issue versus what is being debated and to further examine the purpose behind each side.…

    The term American, when used by one who considers themself to belong to this term, is perceived to portray a person containing the traits of strength, duty, and unity. It is thought that the individual characterized by this term should be proud to classified as one. This is the picture painted by media, that when “Uncle Sam” calls on the people of America, everyone would stand up and defend this beautiful, peaceful country till their last breath. The term American gives those classified as such a defined sense of community and of belonging to and relating to those within that community.

    Janiyah Belfor Critical Analysis on “ Defining Racism: “Can We Talk” Beverly Daniels Tatum’s “Defining Racism: “ Can We Talk”, published in 2003, explains that racism and prejudice still exist in today’s world and are not just something of the past.

    I was always told that an essay is developed around a thesis statement and resources that support my opinions about a prompt. I realized that there was more to an essay when I came across scholarly writing, which is writing on a higher level, usually one which we come across during college. It meets high standards of communication with outlines, tone, deductive reasoning, format, and way of analytical approach. It has a consistent way of delivering thoughts, shaping arguments, and narrowing down the subject to explain the main idea. With scholarly writing, students must express their thoughts through thesis statements, and develop an argument with their own thinking, not minding to be objective to clear any chance of bias.…
