My Advocacy Project

Decent Essays
This is the oral and visual presentation of my Advocacy project that we did in class as a part of the assignment. The reason I want to include this presentation in archive is because I think it might be good way to show how I brainstormed and organized my advocacy essay. In this presentation, if I should have put more effort in it, I believe my advocacy would have been little easier to do it. However, this presentation was helpful for my advocacy project, as I was able to find my two best policy proposals for my current problem. The research I did for my presentation has a great effect on my advocacy project.

    Dear Colleagues: For writing project 1, we did not argue about whether McCarthy’s strategy was effective, we assumed it was effective and instead argued about which rhetorical elements, we believed were crucial to the understanding of his strategy. I argued that his introduction, his use of the three appeals (specifically ethos), and his diction were most crucial in the success of his strategy. I believe my essay has many strengths, and these include my organization and the structure of my paper. I also think my claims, and the support I offer for them are very effective and compelling. These compelling and effective claims, I believe are where my paper truly shines, and these claims also highlight the most effective piece of my…

    This video provides information on both the pros and cons of drug testing. One topic covered in this video is the argument for who should be required to drug test on welfare. The video gives many doctors viewpoints on how drug testing for welfare should be viewed.

Another way I could use this source is to write on its perspective for who should have to be drug tested on welfare.…

For many years, children with disabilities were many times segregated and not given an equal opportunity for a chance to learn and succeed in school. A disability should not limit a person’s choice to improve themselves and their intellectual capabilities.…
