Op-ed

wrote an op-ed on the lack of bilingual language programs for Chinese immigrants in the United States, a social issue that has caused (the issue itself is focused on immigrants as a whole) controversies in recent decades. Olga Kagan’s Los Angeles Times op-ed “Schools Should Help the Children of Immigrants Become Truly Bilingual” prompted me to write about this topic, although I did not replicate Kagan’s voice in my article. Targeted to Chinese immigrant parents in the United States, this…

became a trending, hot, and divisive topic that social media and people talk about. In this argument, I will analyze two of the op-eds written about DACA and how it affected the current situation of immigrants in the united states. The first op-ed is “NO, DACA immigrants aren’t stealing American jobs” written by Bryce Covert published in the New Republic. The other op-ed is “How DACA pits ‘good immigrants’ against millions of others” written by Joel Sati published in the Washington Post. While…

this is that this is not true as explained by Gail O. Mellow in her op-ed piece in the New York Times called The Biggest Misconceptions About Today's College Students. Mellow argues that the reality of college is that while you're in college you're going to be stressed out and in debt. Mellow uses logical and ethical appeal in his op-ed. But even though she uses these appeals they are very weak in her argumentative op-ed. In her op-ed Mellow talks about the reality of how college life is and…

article is an op-ed piece which is presented to a general audience while the Chenoweth & Stephan piece was written for an academic journal and is directed towards people who are knowledgeable about the subject. In order to capture the attention of your reader and, more importantly, to relay the point, it is crucial to acknowledge your intended audience and their needs in terms the complexity of the arguments, style and language. It is also crucial to understand…

Barrack Obama’s speech “Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation Syria” and Vladimir Putin’s op-ed, “A Plea for Caution From Russia”, in September of 2011 address the issue of chemical weapon usage in Syria. Obama’s speech looks at alternative solutions rather than slipping into a War; while Putin’s op-ed was made in reply to Obama’s, he requests a need for complete caution on any decision made. “Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation Syria” is more likely to address a…

was able to summarize what I had just read. Annotating also gave me ideas on what I should incorporate in my own pieces of writing, which includes my Op-Ed and CRR1. On top of the stories in the NYT being easy to follow, they were helpful to…

Election day is approaching and regardless of the outcome, it will definitely become a historic event. Timothy Egan (2016) shares his opinion towards Donald Trump in his Op-Ed article, “The Immigrants Turned Away.” He is certainly not a Trump supporter and uses the time remaining, before Election Day, to warn U.S citizens about Trump’s plans concerning immigration. Pathos is applied the most throughout Egan’s argument because he prefers to connect with his audience on a personal level. Ethos and…

as experienced as Goldberg really have been blind to how his own organization operates? An example of Goldberg's inconsistent philosophy regarding intra-industry strife is found in his letter to Eric Engberg, the reporter he critiqued in his '96 op-ed, immediately after it was published. Goldberg wrote him: "the issue should never be that 'Goldberg launched a personal attack on Engberg.'... My point was about journalism and I stand by it. It was never about personalities or pesonal shots." True…

The claim I am making for my Op-ed piece is that abroad offices in universities need to promote and encourage students to study abroad. This is because students who study abroad overwhelmingly experience benefits in their personal development. The audience for my Op-ed will be students that are questioning if they should study abroad. Many students expressed interest in study abroad earlier in their academic career. When it was time to study abroad, many could not because their majors would not…

For my Op-Ed piece I chose to read “We Need a Strategy for the Middle East,” by John McCain. The article was published on October 24th, 2017 and basically outlines the current situation in the Middle East and John McCain’s opinion on how we should proceed. For the majority of the article, McCain goes through and explains every conflict going on in the Middle East. To start he informs the reader of recent attacks on our Kurdish allies by Iranian backed Iraqi militia forces, some armed with US…
