Writing for the Public

Category: Unit 2 Final Draft (Page 2 of 7)

For Thursday, April 8 (by 8 am, of course!)

 

More time to “tidy up” your Unit Two article. You will definitely want to make sure you have a compelling intro that hooks the reader.  Click on the image above to get to the slideshow we watched in class on Tuesday for help in writing intros and linking them to the nutshell paragraph.

You can update your Unit Two Final draft by simply clicking “edit” at the bottom of the blog post (info how to do this HERE)– or you can resubmit a new Word or PDF doc.  (Please make sure you are using the category: Unit 2 Final Draft. Otherwise your paper might get lost!) 

You will also want to proofread and check your citations.  I suggest the following steps:

  • Write a new introduction, using the slideshow as your guide.  You might try a couple of these intro strategies and pick the one you like best. You’re welcome to keep the intro you already have if you prefer, but make sure you have one!
  • Go through your essay and proofread it. By this, I mean, look for sentence-level issues. If you know you have a problem with run-ons, look for ONLY that issue. (And run spell-check!) 
  • After you have proofread once, read your essay out loud! Really! Do it with a pen or pencil in your hand and mark sentences that sound strange. Go back and fix them! Take out words that sound extra or “fluffy” (meaning they are just there to add to the word count.) The word count is there so your article has enough meaning, not so it has just a bunch of words! At this point, forget about the word count. Just make it sound good and mean something.
  • Now, go back and make sure you have done your citations. Remember, you may either hyperlink or use MLA.
  • Make sure you have done a bibliography. I suggest using Easybib.com
  • If you want, add a few images– or a better title.  Think about the things that draw you to an article when you’re reading.

 

 

final Unit 2

When did divorce become legal and how does divorce affect children’s life?

First, let’s start the decision of marriage which is the first step of the two lovers. A marriage is a contract where two lovers decide to live together, support each other at any moment, and process to never separate till their death. However, behind all those decisions the option of divorce still exists whenever everything goes wrong with them. The divorce option that we have nowadays has a history behind it that started it in 2000bc.From a youtube video the author mentioned that divorce back in the process was different where only the husband could ask for divorce. Otherwise, the husband can swipt his wife for another or send it home to his mother. Moreover,the catolic religion did not except it until the government are taking over everything and allow the people to divorce.After a few years when the woman has the right to divorce it was more harder for them to get it  because they asking them for strong evidence which was not easy.But nowadays is way more different where the women and men has the right to ask for divorce.But the divorce should have a major reason behind it to be validated by the judge.In reality,divorce is really dangerous when the couple has children.This situation will change their life for ever if the adults don’t do their job. Which means that divorce can have negative effects on children. At  the same time the divorce  could have positive effects on the children.

 

In a marriage a child always sees their parents as role models because of the way they treat each other.As a result,the children will always feel comfortable when their parents are around for support and showing them love.However,when this couple decides to divorce it will create a huge impact in this children life.As result,both parents will not be there for them and they would feel one of their parents doesn’t love them anymore.In reality,the divorce hurt the children more than their parents, which could lead  them to depression.According to Amy Morin, he claims that divorce could affect a children when they are young because they not mature enough to understand the of the divorce.In addition,Amy Morin said “that children could blame one of his parents for the causes of the divorces”. As a consequence,it will  break up the parental relationship and that situation gets out of hand.The parents should think about the children before their getting a divorce and always making them show them love and their future. 

 

 Moreover, the divorce will create another relationship for children which is a step dad or step mom.However,having a step mom or dad is not an easy thing for the children because they might not feel confortable.In some cases,parents always sees their happiness first  where they had to forces the children to  accept the new parents.This situation could dangerous for the children where they can get abuses by the new couples.On the other hand,the relationship between step dad or mom could work fine by showing this children love and attention like his parents.It’s not always easy to be a step parents especially when they not parents yet.It’s require a lot of effort for the step parent to love both  people which is the partner and the children.On the other hand,the children might not like the step parent which make him blame the parents for divorced.In addition,some children will never accept someone else replace their biological parent.All those facts,is the problem that the divorce bring after years and all that drama make that kids anger 

 

In my personal life,I always met some people that have step fathers or mothers that live with them.They always told me that they had a good relationship with their step parents and sometimes they feel like they replace their father or mother.In addition,them step father are taking care of them paying their schools and go out with them.However,some of them people told that some step parents change with them when they got their own children.As a result,the children goes into a depressing moment where they their biological parents.The divorce of their parents from few years ago still affecting them again.them children they may not be a good parent in the future because they don’t really have family experiences.As a result they suffering a lot from their parents divorce however,their parents never see that because they put themselves first.

 

The divorce process also affect a children mentality where they have wrong thought  about marriage.Due to the facts, they experiment and suffer from  their parents separation,they might decide to never marry in the future.Them children are scared to experiment the same situation like their parent did,because they not believe in love.However,your parents experience will never be the same as yours,because people are different and you can make the best choice in your life.A divorce is really hard, but it should not mess a children future if both parents trying to do their job and show their children a better ways to find.In a articles of Britany Wong explaining her believe in marriage despite her parents were divorced. Brittany claims “The process of loving someone when you come from a divorce family is not easy ‘’’.As result she still creates the family that she wishes to have because her parents teach how to be single and being in love.In addition her parent experiment make her more stronger than ever to make her future shy.

 

The good side of the divorce comes from one parent’s fault.The children always want love from both sides and want both parents to take care of each other. For example,in some couples,the physical are always present, especially in front of the children.As a consequence,the children will not feel around the abuser and want to protect his mom.In this when the divorce come,the children feel happy even the family is break up but his mother is safe.Another,example is the absence of some mother in the parental job make the children feel lonely sometimes.This absence has a huge impact on the children,that would make them less care about the mother.When the family break up it would not feel the empty part,as a result they might connected with a stepmother.A couple should always show their children importance,and should not doing bad stuff in front of them.Because they will reproduce the same action in their future life.

 

Children living with divorced don’t really have a good life sometimes.The ignorance of some parents is making them suffer more, because they think the children will never understand what’s going on. In some cases,the children’s performance at school can be bad because they stress.An psychologue should be the best option for a child after their parents are getting divorce.The  divorce parent should play the role of co-parents in their children’s life so they could feel loved and supported. It should be important to give children counseling to a couple before they get married so less children could be affected by divorce.However,when a couple without children  has divorced it doesn’t hurt that much. The  adults are so much stronger to get rid of a divorce, and they can both start their new life without worrying about. On the other hand,people do not divorce because these are children involved in the marriage.This is a hard situation for the adults because they will not feel happy and they are suffering.

 

In conclusion,divorce process is the hardest thing that can happen to a couple.The children are most suffering in that situation because they will miss their complet family.In addition,they have to start a new family with a step parent which could be good or bad.The co-parents should do a hard job to protect their children future and do not let them scare to make a family.Like Britany did they should their parent situation to be more stronger because love really exist.When children are involved in the marriage  they should the priorite to be protected

Unit 2 final draft

The global warming problem is a thing that we need to take it to an end as soon as possible. People in general had always try to find a way in which we can make global warming better. It has been getting better but not until the point we can say we have a safe pollution. Is not a law that we need to save the environment right now however we need to take care of our world because if we don’t take care of it as human that we are leaving in this planet no one else will. Like I say many people such as scientists and more had been trying to find ways of helping with the environment. There is a lot of technology out in the world that we might not know about that are some how helping to save the planet. For example  many’s company like Nissan such as Tesla are building this new vehicles that are hybrid which means that they don’t used any kind of fuel but electricity. This is a major impact because we can see how company like this are thinking about how they can save the planet. This could be a major impact however this can bring positive and negative impacts that would help us as a society.

Electrical vehicles could be better than what you might think, over time vehicle car has been getting better and better. Climate change is something we have been working on.. Over the past few year company’s has been trying to have those old generations and the new generation to try these vehicles because soon or later if we wanna have a free and clean air we gonna have to be using electric vehicles only.

Every single person in this world has a question that they have always been curious to know the answer to it. For example, my person question is electrical car really helping the environment? Throughout the time I been doing my research about it, and I’m still not convince of the answer I have got so far. According to studies it says that electrical cars are each day closer of been used by every single person who drives a vehicle Am not convince about this because there are a lot of places around the word that people may not even know how an electrical vehicle would look like. Vehicles manufactory should take that as consideration when they think about building all the cars electrical. I have always wondered how those places around they are would in which don’t have electricity 24/7 how are they supposed to charge the vehicle when they run out of batteries. As personal experience am from a native Caribbean country in which the light be going off for an entire day and there is no way of having electricity while there is no light around the place. My Opinion electrical cars are not helping with the environment because they material they used to build the batteries and how big the batterie need to be to run a car. The material is plastic that is none recycle.

This will make it easier for the audience to understand ,They May Not Use Gasoline, but They Sure Burn Through Water One way to reduce the world’s dependence on oil is to produce more cars that get them power from the electrical grid rather than the gas pump. In the United States, replacing a large percentage of the roughly 235 million cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicle with all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (which have a supplemental gasoline engine) would make a big dent in gasoline consumption, currently about 380 million gallons a day. But such a shift would have an impact on another of the world’s precious liquids water. It takes a lot of water to produce electricity, both to mine and to process coal and other fuels and to cool power plants. Production of gasoline uses water, too, but in an analysis in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, Carey W. King and Michael E. Webber of the University of Texas found that adding more plug-in vehicles would result in a significant increase in water use because of the additional electricitythat would have to be generated. For every mile driven by a gas-powered vehicle that is displaced by one driven by an electric vehicle, the researchers report,  about three times as much water is consumed (that is, lost to evaporation) and about 17 times as much is withdrawn (used and returned to its source). The researchers say the impact on water use does not mean a shift to electric vehicles is a bad idea. But they say the impact would be severe enough, particularly in areas like the Southwest, that it should be considered in policy discussions about widespread use of electric vehicles.

Electrical vehicles could be better then what you might think, over the time vehicle car has been getting better and better. Climate change is something we been working on. However this creation of this car is a plus for climate change because they are totally electrical which mean that they don’t used fuel which is that affect our air. Over the past few year company’s has been trying to have those old generation and new generation to try this vehicles because soon or later if we wanna have a free and clean air we gonna have to be using electricity vehicles only.
