Writing system

Cursive writing is a viable part of education and brain health. Having the ability to write in cursive helps not only with medical documents, school documents, and simple bank signatures, but it also makes your mind stronger, and more diverse when writing anything down. I believe that cursive writing should be in the educational system. Growing up in a society where people always have to do some sort of paperwork, this becomes a needed factor for writing skills. Wouldn't you rather have you…

and concepts clearly with other students. Similar to the stigma of engineering students, I struggled with writing. I had a hard time with making my ideas within a paper obvious and with meeting the minimum length requirements for a written assignment. Sometimes I became too wordy in my sentences. The justice studies program also lectured communicating, but it was primarily focused on writing because of written reports being used in the courtroom. It seemed that no matter what program I studied…

change occurs is often times unknown because change does not come easy. From the world’s most renowned scholars in ancient Greece detesting the shift from oral-based rhetoric to writing, to influential elites hindering the printing press from breaking long-standing institutions, these examples parallel the modern case of writing alongside automation facing venerable opposition while sitting on the cusp of a similar seismic shift. Momentum garnered from automation is changing numerous facets of…

Sam Dillon is writing to educated people reading the New York Times using an expository style of writing to convey to those uninformed, of how severe bad professional writing has become within businesses in America. Writing is essential in the workplace because it allows a good workplace communication in many businesses. Sam Dillon uses Dr. Hogan’s, a former university professor who heads an online business writing, quote “E-mail is a party to which English teachers have not been invited,”…

The main emphasis of this reading is the concept of different type of writing for different type of occasions. The authors’ argument is based on the idea that grammar is not the fundamental for a good piece of writing. It argues that the author should write based on the audience, it wants to convey its attention towards. Types of writing differ based on the subject you are writing about. For example, a Science article can be structured using a passive voice yet many writers dislike the idea of…

JOSEPH SHERMAN: A good essay, with an interesting thesis using Foucault’s theories to provide an understanding of social compliance in authoritarian systems. However, the main problem with the argumentation is the frequent lack of citations when summarizing main theories from secondary sources (i.e., Foucault’s name does not appear until p. 3 and this could be considered plagiarism): this problem is also a consequence of the lack of a sufficient number of secondary sources (just Resnais and…

Reading writing are my favorite things to do. To me, a good book is more fun than a night of partying. From "Hal and Me", once could also be said of Nicholas Carr, Scott Karp, Bruce Friedman, and many other bloggers. The difference is, technology hasn 't taken away my ability or my drive to read. The same can 't be said about the former mentioned party. I grew up with technology, and I use it as much as the next person, but I don 't believe it would ever diminish the time I spend with my face…

When I stare at a blank word document my mind becomes scattered. Writing has always been something that has never came easy to me. I always felt like the way I worded things, or explained myself in a paper wasn 't good enough compared to all the other people in my classes. Then, just recently I figured out that if I write for myself and things that I feel strongly about then when I am staring at a blank word document the words will come easy to me, and will start to flow. This is why I wrote,…

small town certainly didn't help. All of his works were extremely short. Poetry and the such had to be short. If you tried to write a poem the size of Harry Potter then everybody would have tuned out after the first stanza. He thrived in the short writing, as he could think of something, write it down, then come back to it later. He used to use Wattpad, but that was mostly a journal for him to write in. It was mainly private, even though he gained quite a following on the website in the process.…

Rachel, I enjoyed reading what you wrote about Maureen Dowd. Before starting this week’s assignment, I had not realized how many well known people had committed plagiarism. In the case of Ms. Dowd, it is disappointing to think that she would commit plagiarism whether it was intentional or not. I know strive to be very careful when reading and preparing to write a paper, that I cite all my sources. I remember one time of having to leave some wonderful information out of a paper because I…
