Core Value I. My work demonstrates that I used a variety of social and interactive practices that involve recursive stages of exploration, discovery, conceptualization, and development.
It took me a while to figure out what I want to do my research paper on. I actually thought about the problems that we face today in the world , which the most common problem is police brutality. I noticed that police brutality is a a wide concept , so I decided to focus on one group that which is African Americans. I found my sources by using google scholars to make sure it all facts. I achieve this goal by making sure all my sources are coming for a reliable website and making sure I am convincing people about the topic I am researching.
Core Value II. My work demonstrates that I placed texts into conversation with one another to create meaning by synthesizing ideas from various discourse communities.
I achieve this goal by making sure the evidence is proving my point that I will like to get across in the paper.
Core Value III. My work demonstrates that I rhetorically analyzed the purpose, audience, and contexts of my own writing and other texts and visual arguments.
In my Research paper, I started off not achieving this goal because I actually didn’t have a purpose for this paper. I just knew what I wanted to talk about, but didn’t have a plan for how I could convince people to keep reading this paper. As time kept going, I started to achieve this goal by creating a thesis, which in other words is an argument for my paper. My purpose for my paper changed from just how law enforcement killings have increased dramatically to how law enforcement killings among African Americans had increased over the years.
Core Value IV: My work demonstrates that I have met the expectations of academic writing by locating, evaluating, and incorporating illustrations and evidence to support my own ideas and interpretations.
In order for me to meet this goal I had to make sure that I had a thesis to help start with writing my paper. With a thesis, I was able to accomplish what evidence I would include in order for it to support my overall thesis of my research paper. While conducting research for my topic, I had to make sure that the evidence was actually useful and insightful for what I wanted to educate my readers about.
Core Value V. My work demonstrates that I respect my ethical responsibility to represent complex ideas fairly and to the sources of my information with appropriate citation.
I didn’t actually achieve this goal because I was focusing on my thesis do the whole paper, by trying to get my point across. My paper started off as a opinion paper where I was citing information and for the analysis I was stating my opinion instead of stating why the source was connecting back to the overall question of the paper.
