: From Problem to Persuasion<\/p>\n
Paper details:<\/p>\n
Brainstorming Activity.<\/p>\n
Social Media for Cops. Social media can help prevent crimes. Help the Community to communicate news relating traffic and local ordinances. Social Media can help spread the word about a hot tip or wanted person. Social Media can be useful to invite community members to participate in an event created by the town. Social Media can be used by officers to communicate nationwide about concerning topics with the community. Social media can be harmful since personal information of the officer can be published. Facebook and Twitter to create a great channel of communication with the community members. Social Media can be helpful to recruit young officers. Suspect contacts, witness interviews, foot pursuits, citizen complaints, angry sergeants, and continuous report writing are day-to-day actions for a patrol officer who knows that the method is anything but routine. Bad comments or the use of profanity can lead to an internal affairs investigation. Can help detectives to solve cold cases. The Police Investigations subject area furnishes cops with the latest news. Can contribute to lead and example for young to properly behave in social media. Considerable problems can occur, with the greatest warning implying the personal threat to officers and their families. With cell phones Internet access and a law enforcement officer\u2019s name, an antagonistic traffic violator could have a satellite picture of the officer\u2019s home represented on the phone by the time the officer returns to issue the citation. The department can provide continuous training on current issues, the hazards of social media, and self-protection is essential. The credential can be hacked. Individuals seldom create screen names or new identities. Personal credibility is essential for law enforcement. Through social media, people quickly can attack a police officer\u2019s character. No expectation of privacy for officers. Law enforcement officers can find their honesty under severe attack online at any time. Negative comments create lasting impressions. If and officer produces a bad comment can potentially lead to disciplinary actions causing irreparable damage to officers\u2019 reputations.<\/p>\n
Reviewing your brainstorming activity, select two potential problems that 1) have two logical sides to the issue (your viewpoint and an opposing viewpoint), 2) are researchable, and 3) are related to your career or degree.<\/p>\n
Two potential Problems.
\n1. Through social media, people quickly can attack a police officer\u2019s character. Social Media can be used by officers to communicate nationwide
\n2. No expectation of privacy for officers.<\/p>\n
In your journal, write a fully developed paragraph for each problem (5-8 sentences each)
\nexplaining two sides to the issue (how is it argumentative?),<\/p>\n
1. how you plan to approach it in your project (what side are you going to take?),<\/p>\n
2. why you’re personally interested in it (of all the potential problems in your field or degree, why did you choose this?).<\/p>\n
3. When writing the paragraphs, feel free to express any other thoughts or concerns you may have about the topic choices.<\/p>\n
Open Answer to the question above.<\/p>\n
1. My plan to approach is that Social Media gives more advantages and disadvantages. Helps more to the community. Social Media can be used by officers to communicate nationwide. Can deter crimes. Extend the respond please.<\/p>\n
2. I choose this because is trending topic and community is using social media to communicate faster with relatives, peers and community members. Extend the response please.<\/p>\n
Please write positive feedback concerning the question #3.<\/p>\n

\nModule 1: The Keys to Persuasion
\nIn this module, you will:
\nfamiliarize yourself with the courselong
\ndiscussion boards
\nreflect on the importance of problemsolving
\nand persuasion
\nlearn how to construct a persuasive argument and answer to counterarguments
\npractice brainstorming techniques
\nwrite your first journal about a topic that interests you
\nReading: Problem Identification
\nWe encounter problems in every aspect of our lives. On a personal level, we are constantly working on
\nsuch things as mending relationships with friends and family members, managing a hectic household,
\nand addressing health concerns. In our professional lives, we also encounter problems on a daily basis,
\nboth on a small and a large scale. For example, if you are a teacher, you may spend one class period
\nmanaging poor student behavior and then spend the next class period scrambling to figure out how to
\nfinish your lesson plan before the bell rings. There are also the largerscale
\nissues that you may deal
\nwith, particularly if you teach in a public school system, such as reconciling the tension between
\ngovernmentmandated
\ninitiatives and your own beliefs about what works well in the classroom.
\nIn response to these types of industryspecific
\nproblems, researchers are continually investigating ways
\nto fix these issues. The results of such research will impact the types and availability of careers in various
\nfields, while also impacting people’s personal lives. For example, in the fast food industry, many
\ncompanies are responding to society’s evergrowing
\ninterest in “eating clean” and “being green.” Takeout
\ncontainers are made with recycled materials, and many fast food chains are ceasing to use artificial colors

\nand ingredients in their food. Individuals in the food
\nindustry now feel the pressure to join the “clean and green”
\nmovement in order to attract and maintain customers. And
\nas with all change, debate follows. There will always be
\ndissenters from every viewpoint.

\nIntroduction to Persuasion
\nIn this course, you will practice the art of persuasion. You will think about a problem in your field of
\nstudy\/profession that has at least two clear arguable sides and compose a persuasive argument that
\nclearly states your point of view on the issue. Your goal is to convince the audience to adopt your
\nviewpoint. In order to do this, you will make a claim\u2014an assertion with which your audience might
\ndisagree\u2014and then support that assertion with evidence.
\nThe examples in the video show us how argument and persuasion can function successfully (or
\nunsuccessfully) in everyday life. Although the examples provided are in the first person (since they are
\nexamples from everyday life), the premise in persuasive writing is the same:
\nbe respectful of potentially opposing positions
\nuse logic to ground your stance
\nbe clear, concise, and precise in the presentation of your argument, using indicator words such as
\n“must,” “should,” “support,” “because,” or “oppose” to present your core argument
\nOpposing Viewpoints
\nWhen making a persuasive argument, it is also important to factor in any counterarguments, or opposing
\nviewpoints, and consider how to respond to them.
\nMost topics generate a variety of positions, not simply
\ntwo positions that sit in direct opposition to each other.
\nIn fact, it is helpful to picture the potential positions on
\nany given topic in a circular format rather than
\nimagining two distinct points at opposite ends of a
\nstraight line. Few topics lend themselves to such an
\noversimplified black and white division. As most
\ntopics are complex and layered, some of the most
\npotent arguments can be found in the grayer areas. The
\nmore complex issues give rise to multiple points of
\nview along a continuum, something writers need to
\nkeep in mind.
\nWhen you freewrite, you acknowledge
\nthat there is a wide range of thesis
\nstatements that you might settle on.
\nGive yourself some space to think
\nthrough your topic.
\nTake, for example, the topic of sex education in public schools. One position on the topic is the
\n“absolutely not” position held by some people due to their religious and\/or moral ideologies. According
\nto this position, sex education should never be taught in America’s public schools under any
\ncircumstances. Opposing the “absolutely not” position are a range of positions, not just one. Here are
\nonly four of the many possibilities:
\nYes, sex education should be taught in public schools, depending on what material is covered.
\nYes, if it concentrates on abstinence.
\nNo, if it concentrates on abstinence.
\nNo, if it begins in elementary school.
\nIf you are writing on sex education in public schools, you will have to be familiar with all of the
\npositions on both sides of the argument. Additionally, you will need to understand the reasons people
\nhold these positions. Refuting any opposing position is impossible if you are unfamiliar with the issue as
\na whole.
\nThe first step in composing a persuasive argument is to brainstorm topics for your written piece. The
\nnext few pages in the module will help you get started.
\nReading: Brainstorming Ideas
\nBelow you will find explanations of three specific methods for brainstorming ideas\u2014freewriting,
\nlooping, and clustering.
\nFreewriting
\nFreewriting is a technique that every writer should have in his or
\nher toolkit as he or she plans to write. The process lets you just
\nbegin writing without feeling like the writing you do at that
\nmoment needs to be effective, meaningful, or even good. Even
\nthough you’re not creating finished writing, freewriting allows
\nyou to do the important work of exploring your topic and your
\ninterests without worrying about creating a polished product. It’s
\nsimply a way to get thoughts down on paper.
\nAs you freewrite, you choose a topic, set a time limit, and see
\nwhere the topic leads you. The most important part of freewriting
\nis to make sure that you turn your editorial mind off. Spelling
\nand grammar don’t matter, and you don’t have to worry about
\nwriting a coherent piece with an introduction and a conclusion.
\nAfter you’re done freewriting, you’ll read over your writing again
\nand find the parts that can be expanded upon or that hold your
\ninterest the most.
\nRemember that a freewrite is not a draft\u2014it is part of the
\nprewriting stage. In most cases, you won’t use a single phrase
\nfrom your freewrite in any writing that you turn in. Writing
\nthat you turn in should be polished and focused; freewrites
\nwork best when they aren’t!
\nInstructions for Freewriting
\n1. Decide whether you write faster when writing on paper or typing on the computer. If you use the
\ntextbox on the assignment page, your freewrite will be recorded in your notebook.
\n2. Decide on a topic before you start. The topic can be general (“driver’s education”) or it might be
\nmore specific. An example of a more specific topic might be either of these two topics: “how driver’s
\neducation improves driving” or “why states should pay for driver’s education for all drivers,
\nregardless of age or citizenship status.”
\n3. Click the begin timer link.
\n4. Start writing and don’t stop. Write anything that comes to mind about the topic. Let your ideas run
\nfree without worrying about where the ideas are going or whether they are “right” or “wrong.” There
\nare no “bad” ideas at this stage. Don’t correct for grammar or sentence structure; this is not the time
\nfor your internal editor to take over! Write down bullet points if you want. Then stop when your
\ntime is up (feel free to finish a sentence or two if you’re in the middle of a thought). Be sure to hit
\nsave if you’re using the provided textbox.
\n5. Finally, read over your writing. This is the most important part! Look over your writing and ask
\nyourself these questions to see if you can find some idea that is worthy of more indepth
\nthought or
\nresearch.
\nFreewrite Example #1
\nPoetry is art. Not art made from paint, but art found in combinations of words. Poetry has infiltrated
\npolitics. “When power corrupts, poetry cleanses,” JFK maintained. Former New York governor
\nMario Cuomo once said politicians campaign in poetry but govern in prose. It will be interesting to
\nsee if his son, the current New York governor, brings poetry to his governing style. He’s already
\nbrought romance\u2014New York State doesn’t have a First Lady. It has a First Girlfriend! Governor
\nAndrew Cuomo isn’t married. But he does have a girlfriend. She’s famous in her own right and is no
\ndoubt richer than the governor. She has built an empire based on cooking. In particular, she’s famous
\nfor semihomemade
\ncooking. She uses some storebought
\nfood and combines it with homemade
\ningredients to save time. Her technique makes it seem as if the whole dish is homemade. There’s
\nbeen some talk about the appropriateness of having her live in the Executive Mansion in the state
\ncapital of Albany. Most New Yorkers, though, seem to like the idea of having a beautiful and
\nsuccessful woman sharing the top political spot with the governor. Who cares if they are not
\nmarried. Sandra Lee grew up very poor. She says her childhood ended when she was 11. There was
\na lot of tragedy in her life. But, she overcame it all. By age 25, she was a millionaire. She lost
\neverything, though, and a few years later, she had to start all over again. She’s a bestselling author13
\nbooks. In her books, she talks honestly about her abusive childhood and about mistakes she has
\nmade. She doesn’t look back though and doesn’t take a “pityme”
\napproach to life. Instead, she’s
\nmade it her mission to help feed America’s poor and hungry. A lot of people admire her. Me, too.
\nFollow-Up Questions
\nDo I stay on topic in most of the writing, or do I shift to another topic? Am I more interested in my
\ninitial or my new topic? ANSWER: I did move around a bit, from poetry to politics, to a Governor’s
\ngirlfriend who likes to cook. And the cooking led me to think about people going hungry in America,
\nwhich is something I think about a lot.
\nWhat words are repeated in my writing? ANSWER: Repeated words: “Poetry,” “cooking” and foodrelated
\nwords.
\nWhich of my ideas can be backed up with research during the subsequent research process?
\nANSWER: There’s bound to be a lot of information about the poor in America and about hunger in
\nAmerica, too.
\nCan I identify one or two questions that most of my freewrite responds to? ANSWER: Why are so
\nmany people “foodies”? Which celebrities are trying to help the poor?
\nFreewrite Example #2
\n“War is hell.” Fyodor Dostoyevki said this. It’s not only hell for those fighting the war, it’s also hell
\nfor people in the countries being fought in and fought for. It’s hell, too, for the taxpayers who have to
\nfinance the war. Think about what war does to the mind of a soldier. It’s estimated, for example, that
\na third of all homeless people are men who fought in Vietnam. How do we every repay their
\nsacrifice? The price tag for the war is Iraq is $3 trillion. We’ve spent millions every single day since
\nthat war began. What have we gained? We know what we’ve lostlives
\nand money and the good
\nwill of countries that see us as an aggressor. Could the money be better spent? No doubt. It could be
\nused, for example, to build roads. Or, spent to strengthen our crumbling infrastructure. The work
\nwould give jobs to thousands who are now unemployed. With their earnings, people could pay their
\nmortgages and buy things they couldn’t afford before. This would help prop up the sagging
\neconomy. Economy and Dostoyevski are linked in the subtitle of a book I had to read for an
\neconomics paper. It’s by Susan McReynolds. The title is Redemption and the Merchant God.
\nSometimes putting two things together yields some really interesting results. You wouldn’t think
\nDostoyevski had much to say about economy. I guess it’s like the old saying “Opposites attract.”
\nWhat else can I say about opposites? I guess they are what makes life interesting. So, if you take an
\nold maid like Emily Dickinson and have her write about something passionate, like the poem “Wild
\nNights,” that makes for an interesting combination, because it is so unexpected. I’m sure I’m not the
\nonly one who likes to be surprised by the unexpected. That’s probably the basis of all the horror
\nmovies that have ever been made. Speaking of which, the classic with Jack Nicholson about that old
\nhotel was really frightening. I remember screaming out loud in the movie theatre. It’s not surprising
\nthat it was so scary, because the book on which the movie was based was written by Stephen King.
\nAnd King, before he was rich and famous, used to dig graves in order to make a living. There are a
\nlot of things I’d do if I was starving, but I don’t think I could ever dig graves, especially not in the
\nmiddle of the night. Beyond being dirty work, literally dirty work, it’s so spooky.
\nFollow-Up Questions
\nDo I stay on topic in most of the writing, or do I shift to another topic? Am I more interested in my
\ninitial or my new topic? ANSWER: I talked a lot about war, which led me to the economy, which led
\nme to talk about opposites and finally to the creepiness of Stephen King. His story made me think
\nabout my own career, which is obviously pretty important to me.
\nWhat words are repeated in my writing? ANSWER: I used “war” quite a bit, but that may be because
\nmy brother is in Iraq and I think about the war every day. I also talked about the economy. Another
\nrepeated word is “opposites.”
\nWhich of my ideas can be backed up with research during the subsequent research process?
\nANSWER: I can find tons of information about the war and also about economic conditions. I should
\nalso be able to do a lot of research on the topic of getting a job and earning money.
\nCan I identify one or two questions that most of my freewrite responds to? ANSWER: Some
\nquestions that come to mind are: Are there indications the economy is turning around? I have to
\nearn a living in a few years. What kind of job am I going to have?
\nAs you loop, it may feel as if you are going in circles,
\nbut by asking the right questions, you’ll find that you’re
\nheading somewhere important.
\nLooping
\nLooping refers to freewriting sessions performed
\nin succession. The purpose of looping is to take
\nthe ideas you discover in your freewriting session
\nthat seem most worthy of exploration and
\nfreewrite again on those ideas. The process
\nallows you to refine your topic into a more
\nnarrow and realistic topic.
\nTo loop your idea, take the idea that emerged as
\nmost important in your initial freewrite and do
\nanother freewrite\u2014following the freewriting
\ninstruction steps previously outlined\u2014with that
\nidea as your starting point.
\nRemember that the most important part of freewriting is reflecting on your writing. So, after your loop,
\nbe sure to ask yourself the same reflective questions you asked during your initial freewrite.
\nFreewriting Questions
\nAfter you finish freewriting, read your writing carefully to decide which ideas are most worthy of
\nexploration. As you read over your writing, ask yourself these questions:
\nDo I stay on topic in most of the writing, or do I shift to another topic? Am I more interested in my
\ninitial or my new topic?
\nWhat words are repeated in my writing? Words that you repeat are likely to indicate an interest in
\nthat particular aspect of the topic?
\nWhich of my ideas can be backed up with research during the subsequent research process?
\nOpinions can help point you toward an interest, but if your freewrite consists only of opinion, you
\nmay need to conduct another freewrite that focuses more on facts, you may want to conduct a
\npreliminary search, or you may need to pick a new topic.
\nCan I identify one or two questions that most of my freewrite responds to? If you can, you might
\nhave found yourself a research question.
\nIf you’d like to compare a freewriting session against a looping session, compare the loops below to the
\nfreewrites from above.
\nLooping Example #1
\nFeeding America’s poor won’t be easy. Not with one out of seven of us living at the poverty level.
\nIt’s especially bad for kids. I mean, how can a kid concentrate on learning when he hasn’t eaten in
\ntwo days? When you think about how much food goes to waste every single day in this country,
\nyou’d think there wouldn’t be a problem. Just think about the food fights that go on in cafeterias all
\nover the country. With that wasted food alone we could probably feed all the poor people. And I
\nknow a lot of people let vegetables sit in their refrigerators until they rot and then they have to throw
\nout all that food. Also, just think about all the restaurants that throw away food every single day.
\nYou’ve probably seen homeless people doing “dumpster digs.” I know I have. At least, they are
\ngetting some nourishment out of what’s being discarded, but who’d want to eat food that’s mixed
\nwith garbage? I think we should have more public service announcements to make people aware of
\nwhat they are wasting. That would be a first step. Maybe parents could also be advised not to put so
\nmuch food on their kids’ plates at suppertime. That would solve two problemsthe
\nfood waste
\nproblem and the obesity problem. Then, we could use the money that is saved to help the hungry
\nmore than we do. It’s true that some celebrities like Sandra Lee have started a campaign, but not
\neverybody watches her on the food network channel. I guess we need more celebrities getting the
\nword out. I know the President and First Lady are working on this and that’s helping a lot. But
\nthere’s really a lot to do. There are food banks, of course. But we really need more than famous
\npeople getting the word out. We need the average Joe thinking twice about waste.
\nFollow-Up Questions
\nDo I stay on topic in most of the writing, or do I shift to another topic? Am I more interested in my
\ninitial or my new topic? ANSWER: I really did focus on the poor and how much foodwaste
\nthere is
\nin this country. I also talked about what famous people and ordinary people can do to solve the
\nproblem of people going hungry.
\nWhat words are repeated in my writing? ANSWER: “Poor” (poverty), “food,” “waste,” “celebrities.”
\nWhich of my ideas can be backed up with research during the subsequent research process?
\nANSWER: There has to be a lot of data about poverty in America and also wasted food. I could also
\nlearn more about Sandra Lee and what people like her are doing to help.
\nCan I identify one or two questions that most of my freewrite responds to? ANSWER: What are
\ncelebrities doing to help the poor? What can the average person do?
\nResearch Question
\nTopic: Feeding the hungry
\nResearch Question: What are the characteristics of an effective antihunger
\nprogram?
\nLooping Example #2
\nWhat will I do to earn a living? Right now I’m studying liberal arts and there are a lot of possibilities
\nin front of me, assuming I don’t change my major. There are a lot of things I know I wouldn’t dono
\nmatter how much money I could make. Even if I was desperate, like Stephen King, I wouldn’t dig
\ngraves to earn money. I also wouldn’t do anything that would harm animals. And I would never steal
\nfrom people the way Madoff did. But, as a liberal arts generalist, especially a generalist with some
\ncomputer skills, I could probably enter any field I wanted to. There really are a lot of choices. Plus, I
\ncould always learn on the job. Most businesses have orientation and training programs that help new
\nhires learn what they need in order to do a specific job. And, a lot of places will actually pay for
\nemployees to take additional college courses. Of course, I could pay for further education myself if I
\nhad to. I could get a Master’s Degree or some other degree that would help me get promotions once
\nI’ve started working. Plus, there’s always stuff I could learn about on my own by doing research on
\nthe Internet or by taking some online courses. Things are changing so fast that I’d probably have to
\ntake additional courses anyway. Take electrical engineers, for example. I read that by the time they
\ngraduate, half their knowledge is obsolete. So maybe I shouldn’t worry too much about what I’m
\nlearning right now. Instead, I should concentrate on getting a good solid academic base, rather than a
\nnarrow or toospecific
\nbody of knowledge. Being able to communicate well is critical for career
\nsuccess, no matter what field I choose and I’ve always had A’s in my written and oral
\ncommunications classes. Being a good problemsolver
\nis important, too. I like challenges and have
\noften been complimented on my analytical skills. Another thing that’s going to serve me well are my
\npeople skills. Everybody tells me I’m both a good leader and a great team player. So, I guess, now
\nthat I think about it, I won’t have to dig graves. I should be able to get any job I want…assuming the
\neconomy is better by the time I graduate.
\nFollow-Up Questions
\nDo I stay on topic in most of the writing, or do I shift to another topic? Am I more interested in my
\ninitial or my new topic? ANSWER: I did stay on the topic of my futurework
\nI’d like to do and work
\nI definitely wouldn’t do.
\nWhat words are repeated in my writing? ANSWER: “earn a living,” “money,” “job,” “learning”
\nWhich of my ideas can be backed up with research during the subsequent research process?
\nANSWER: I should be able to research jobs in general, especially those available to liberal arts
\nmajors. I’d also have to find out what skills are required for entrylevel
\njobs in certain industries.
\nCan I identify one or two questions that most of my freewrite responds to? ANSWER: What jobs
\ndoes a liberal arts degree lead to? How soon does knowledge become obsolete?
\nResearch Question
\nTopic: Job economy
\nResearch Question: What can one do with a liberal arts degree?
\nClustering
\nClustering is another method of brainstorming ideas. You can use it by itself, or you can organize some
\nof the ideas you discovered during your freewrite.
\nClustering
\nWrite the topic or research question in the center of a piece of paper. Just as in your freewrite, your
\ntopic can be general or specific.
\nFill up the paper with related ideas or concepts. Try to represent your ideas using words or phrases
\nrather than sentences unless a sentence jumps out at you. Clustering is a way to stimulate the
\norganizing part of your writing process without forcing you to get everything on paper in a linear
\nfashion. It’s easier to see the relationship between ideas if you keep the sentences to a minimum.
\nIf ideas seem similar, group them together. If they seem different, or even opposite, separate them.
\nYou can draw lines between the main idea and other ideas as you discover relationships between
\nthem. You can circle individual ideas or groups of ideas.
\nDon’t scratch anything out. You don’t need to worry about the entire cluster making sense as you
\ndraw it; you’ll have time to do that when you outline your ideas.
\nAfter you have created your cluster, ask yourself these questions about the result.
\nAre there parts of the cluster that express certain relationships? Relationships might include causeandeffect,
\nreasons why something is good or bad, or parts of a proposed solution to a problem.
\nExplaining this relationship might drive your research and research paper.
\nAre there parts of the cluster that don’t seem to fit in with other parts? If they don’t fit, can you
\nfigure out how you might fit the pieces together? Or are the ideas just too different to discuss in one
\npaper?
\nAre any regions of the cluster undeveloped? If so, are they undeveloped because you don’t know
\nmuch about that part of the topic? Does that part not interest you as much? Choosing a specific
\ntopic that you don’t know much about within a general topic that you are familiar with can help you
\nmaintain your interest in your topic, so underdevelopment of a section in your cluster doesn’t mean
\nyou should abandon that idea. But it’s also good to pick a topic that you have a lot of interest in
\nalready.
\nBased on the cluster that you have created, can you guess at what a working thesis or research
\nquestion might be? Your research question will ask a question that can be answered with reasons
\nthat you can support with research and evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
