Des questions significatives

Chapter 3 of Writing in Transit discusses how questions are posed within disciplines. The chapter goes over the type of questions may be asked such as interpretive, quantitative, or fundamental questions about your discipline. These questions are useful in helping you better understand your topic, and become a credible source within your field (e.g. Physicists pose, research, and answer questions about the universe, making them credible individuals in the information they provide.)

This reading connects to my discipline because although I have strong feelings about habitat destruction, I do not know everything about it.  For this reason it is important for me to ask questions on the topic, in order to understand and expand my knowledge of it. 

Since our major assignment is the Lit Review, reading about posing research questions is significant considering we will have to do so ourselves. It was helpful to learn that there are many different types of questions one can ask about their topic. I don’t know about you guys but I find it a bit difficult to come up with questions about something, let alone doing so in order to gain a more vigorous understanding of something I barely understand. But, the reading helped me think and gave me a bit more confidence about coming up with questions. 

Finally, my topic proposal for the Lit Review is Coral Reef Destruction. I previously wrote about deforestation, and in a sense, coral reefs are the sea’s forests.

SDE WEEK 1: TOPIC PROPOSAL

During our brainstorming session, we explored two distinct topics for our proposal: a middleman system and a manual license plate recognition system. Both ideas addressed unique challenges and presented opportunities for impactful solutions.

The middleman system focused on creating a platform to streamline interactions between clients and service providers. This idea stood out for its potential to simplify transactions, improve communication, and build trust in scenarios where direct engagement may not be feasible or secure. It offered flexibility, as it could be applied to various industries, from freelancing to local commerce.

On the other hand, the manual license plate recognition system tackled a completely different problem. This idea aimed to provide an affordable and practical solution for identifying vehicles in areas with limited access to automated technologies. It offered significant value for traffic management, parking systems, and security applications in resource-constrained settings.

While both ideas were strong, we also encountered challenges. For the middleman system, ensuring transparency, trust, and scalability required careful planning. For the manual license plate recognition system, we needed to address potential inefficiencies compared to fully automated solutions while maintaining its affordability and reliability.

This session highlighted the strengths and challenges of each idea, giving us a clearer perspective on their feasibility and impact. Moving forward, we aim to finalize the topic that aligns best with our goals, practicality, and the resources available.

Intro/Topic

Hi Everyone! My name is Samantha Rae. My main goal in life is to be a successful business owner. I am currently in my second semester at UTEP but I have received my Associates of Applied Science in Baking and Pastry Arts at EPCC. At only seven years old I fell in love with Baking and I had at least three easy bake ovens until I was old enough and my parents finally let me bake in the real oven. Although I technically have all I need with my certifications to work in the culinary industry I always crave more. I am working on my Bachelors in Business management and hope to someday own my dream restaurant or bakery. I am the first in my family with a college degree and this accomplishment makes me strive for more. 

Just like baking is an art, Rhetoric is also an art. To me it is the art of effectively persuading someone to see your side of something through your writing and speaking skills. 

Through this course I expect to gain the skills of persuading a wide audience. I consider myself very persuasive in the sense of baking and handling my customers but in other areas such as writing I would love to see that expand. 

My Course topic will be Business in the Culinary Industry. There are many areas of business in this industry and a wide range of entrepreneurship. Since this is my passion I hope to gain more knowledge of this type of business before I go out into that world.

Topic Proposal

Injuries in young teenage athletes that creates problems later on in life such as arthritis and other muscular and skeletal problems. Since the adolescent body is still undergoing development, if it suffers an injury it can create problems to the natural growth of the victim’s body. The two most common forms of adolescent injuries include overuse and acute injuries which include soft tissue (muscles and ligaments) and bones injuries. These type of injuries sometimes are ignored by athletes because of their urgency to play and be part of the team or game. Ignoring even the slightest form of pain can lead to severe and permanent damage to the human body later on in the teens life. Therefore, young athletes should be aware of these problems and not ignore any type of injury or pain they may have. They should receive immediate treatment so the injuries don’t become a life changing problem for them in the long run.

Topic Proposal #1

Anything that has to do with the medical field will spark my interest. So, for my research essay, I’ve decided to research the progressive brain disorder, Alzheimer’s Disease. This topic hits home to me because my Grandpa has been suffering from this disease for the past nine years, and he’s well into the final stage of Alzheimer’s. The last time I saw him was when I was in seventh grade, and his memory was just starting to fade away. I remember having to reintroduce myself to him every morning I saw him. As sad as it may be, I can’t help but find it interesting how there’s a disease out there in which the brain slowly deteriorates all on its own. For anyone who doesn’t know, Alzheimer’s is an irreversible disease where the brain basically eats itself away and the individual loses their memory, thinking skills, and communication skills. The disease basically takes away all the brain’s power, and the person is not capable of taking care of themselves at all. There’s a lot of things I can discuss in this essay. What I’m going to include in my essay is exactly what happens in the brain of an individual with Alzheimer’s, along with how a person can get it. Another aspect I want to cover is how the person with Alzheimer’s family is effected. I also want to compare a normal brain and a brain with Alzheimer’s in detail. Now for my arguable thesis, I was thinking talking about how there is research out there suggesting that low doses of medical marijuana could help slow down or even stop the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease. The use of marijuana in the medical field is an extremely controversial topic, so I think it would be fun to research if marijuana is indeed helpful for a person with Alzheimer’s.
