In this paper, the majority of my problems where that of grammar. Before my main focus was on structure, however this time my main focus was on polishing the paper. This time there were few structure issues, instead most of my problems where transition sentences and placement of words. Another thing I worked on was targeting an audience. Through this paper and it’s revision I learned how to target an audience and polish my paper to a close to perfect final product.

Nutting, Maureen Murphy. “How Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts Programs Prepare Students For The Workforce And For Life.” New Directions For Community Colleges 2013.163 (2013): 69-78. Academic Search Complete. Web. 17 Feb. 2015.

This source is an article made by a community college professor on the need for interdisciplinary study in community colleges. He argues this by focusing on liberal arts and numerous programs that give college students broad knowledge for the work force. He shows credibility through his language and knowledge of interdisciplinary techniques. Throughout the article his rhetoric is at the level of a highly intellectual person. This is necessary in the context of his argument. Also the fact that he is a professor helps his credibility. More importantly he gives numerous examples of interdisciplinary curriculums that are effect in making well rounded students. The major flaw in his argument is that he assumes the students will not try to break out in search of higher education. Not all community college students take their associates and go into the work force, if they stay in education they lack focus on their field of study. This article is very useful when looking at the importance of interdisciplinary studies. It shows the importance of students being able to connect all aspects of their lives to their intended field of study. However it fails to discuss the negative repercussions of interdisciplinary studies.

I focused a lot on structure and forming my argument in order to analyze the rhetorical and argument structure of the article. I think I did a good job of taking a part the essay and analyzing it, however I believe my structure could be approved. It still seems as though my structure is still a bit unorganized and not cohesive. However, I did a good job of making a clear anaylzation of her argument.

In The Tethered Generation, there are many fallacies and problems with the structure of the author’s argument. Because the audience of this easy is other human resource workers, the author makes sure to use evidence for experts. However, this makes it seem as though, she herself has not come to any conclusions. The main flaw in the structure of her argument is that the thesis is changed from how this new generation is hurt because they are tethered to suggestions of ways of making them ready for the workforce. She makes it hard to tell if the article is forming an argument or just giving human resource suggestions. This article has a lot of unrelated evidence. In the beginning of the article the author describes the older generation, even though this is interesting it does not help support her argument. Another example of useless material is the author suggestions of how to prepare this new generation for the work force. The biggest example of the red herring fallacy in this article is when the author gives unrelated examples of parents calling into their child’s workplace. Even though this may seem related, her actually point was to show the lack of responsibility of the Y generation not the craziness of their parents.

The Tethered Generation by Kathryn Tyler was an article written in a magazine for
human resources that discussed Generation Y. This article discussed how the
upbringing of this generation has led to complications due to a lack of dependence
and diligence in the work force. She argues that this new generation will need
to be instructed on how to be self-reliant and exceed expectation in the work
force. The author shows credibility through persuasive rhetoric and providing evidence
to support her arguments. She is an expert in human resources and used many
other experts to provide sufficient evidence about her argument. However, the
lack of discussion of counter arguments shows basis. This article is useful for
discussing anything to do with the technology age or the challenges faced by
generation Y. This article gives a lot of support for the lack of independence
of this generation. It goes into depth discussing the problems Generation Y
faces in the work force. It also has numerous credible sources for this topic.
This includes specific examples and observations by experts in their fields

Education is information that one is taught in order to productively function in society. For the majority of the humans on this planet our formal education comes about in to stages. The beginning stage covers as that we learn in our child hood and adolescences. The secondary stage is what we learn in college or for training in the work force. Our in formal education comes about through elder examples, media, and friends. In all cases, what we know and how we act are products of education. The beginning stage of my education was a private classical Christian school. Therefore, I learned how to articulate my thoughts and how to use rhetoric in my writing and speech. My secondary stage of education is on-going, however the military institute that I go to has taught me not only military history but also how to preform in a military setting. I hope to join the Air Force once I graduate and depending on my job I will get training according to what I am suppose to do in the Air Force. Along, with this formal education my parents and family have educated me as well. My parents and family have taught me how to respect every one no matter their race or gender and that with hard work anything is possible. They taught me this by example, my mother immigrated from Colombia and made a good living for herself due to her hard work. Because I am Hispanic my parents taught me that some people may not treat me the same way and this not right. Through this they taught me racial and gender tolerance.
