During WP2, we're going to be considering
people's different disciplinary/professional perspectives and evaluating their
arguments/positions.
Since this SEPTA strike is impacting almost every one of us right now -- and screwing us up pretty badly(!) -- I thought I'd take it as an opportunity to have us think about how different people approach the strike based on their different disciplinary/professional perspectives.
Here are some different texts written by and written about people in multiple careers, with various purposes, and with different claims -- they're all trying to convince us of something. My questions to YOU (my beloved ENG 101-108 students) include:
- what IS that something? (that they're arguing!)
- what are they basing in it on?
- whose argument/positions do you think is the most effective?
- and, most importantly, why?
Check out these articles that are written by folks from different perspectives and/or include people's diverse perspectives on the same topic/issue.
