After watching the documentary Where to Invade Next , by Michael Moore I wanted to research one out of the three topics listed below.
Topic 1: Paid Vacation Time Research question: Should American workers be given an equal amount of paid vacation time? Argument: I'm a single mother of three children, working full-time and going school. There is little time spent as a family. My current employer does provide paid vacation, and every year the time increases. With my paid vacation time I relax, and I give my children the mommy and me time. But, unfortunate not everybody works for companies like mines. So, for another person like me jugging a schedule like mines without a paid vacation to recuperate. They could become stress, sick, and cause self-destruction. So, I believe paid vacation should be awarded to any full-time worker. Topic 2: School homework Research question: Should American students get homework? Argument: Giving children homework limits family time and after-school activities. Children are in school eight hours, five days a week and have to do an hour or more of homework. When do the children have time to find themselves and do what they like. I spend an hour with my children doing homework, leaving no time to play. Eat, wash up, go to bed, and repeat. I do not think it should be like this. I should be able to spend the little time I have with after school doing some activity. Most children have gifts of talent, but never got to develop them, and now stuck at a dead end job that they hate. It should be a balance of learning and growing into adulthood. Topic 3: Women Leadership Research question: Should there be an equal amount of women in power to run things? Argument: Women being in power?, I say, Yes! I say yes for a lot of reasons, but here are some most women naturally juggle multiple things at once. There are caring, sensitive, warm, considerate and thinks long-term. There are a lot more things that women can do, but wouldn't you want someone that have your best entrees at heart?.

Today ‘s blog is on a the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore.
In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore traveled to about eight different countries in search of ways to make The United States of America better. Each country Moore visits he inquiries about different issues that typical Americans have. The issues were vacation time, pay, health care, drug laws, inmates freedom, people rights, and so much more. Each country welcome more with open arms and express their way of living. Moore challenged the country on why they do and treat their citizens they what they do. He also asked where did they come of up with these rules of life. All of the countries responses was the same. They treated their citizens the way they did because it was the right thing to do. Most of their rules of living amongst each other came from The United States of America. So, through all his traveling he founds out The United States of America gave all of the other countries these great ideas and fell short implementing these same ideas in the own country. The citizens of these other countries are living happier and longer than the average American. They share their wealth and care about their neighbor. They are living the life that our founding father wanted for America.
Today's blog I will reflect back by answering some questions about my life-choice memoir.1. Who did you work with to compose your life-choice memoir? Was this a good approach?
I choose to with my boyfriend on. This was a right approach, and he never heard this part of my life that lead me to where I am now. This untold story provided him with more background and understanding about me. 2. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? I chose to use descriptive and narrative writing for my life-choice memoir. 3. When did you write this project? Good approach? I started this projects about three weeks. I began by thinking about with was the most important life-choice I had to make. This was not the right approach I should have started early and paste myself. 4. Where did you write this project? Good approach? I wrote any moment I was free at work, in my bed, and whenever class was canceled. This was a good approach for because I was able to stay on top of my work. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? 5. I choose this topic to inspire someone else who is having the same struggles I had. I love my choice; this topic was something I had struggle with after having my children into my work life. My life-chose was not only for me it was for my children, my sisters, brother and little cousins. I want to show them that it's more here in life and be their guide to how to achieve success. 6. How did it feel to write this narrative ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? It felt good to playing Morgan Freeman to my own story. I do not any if only moments, what way was is done. 7. How will you revise your narrative? I would not revise my narrative, and I like it is. If there were suggestions that would better my narrative, I would strongly consider them. |
