This blog touches on my reflection about my Research Paper that I am currently in the process of writing. Below are my processes of writing and how it is coming along these past few weeks. The video Reflective Writing was very inspiring and helpful when it came to writing my reflections.
Who did you work with to compose your research paper? Was this a good approach? I work with myself. I wish I didn’t have so much going on all the time because I would have loved to have worked with someone. I just have a crazy schedule. What rhetorical mode and genre are you using? The rhetorical mode of this paper is argumentation and the genre is MLA Research Paper. When did you write this project? Good approach? A little here and a little there. I have had a lot of craziness going on towards the end of this semester, so time has not been in my favor. But its coming along. I had a rough start with this research paper and I have to admit I am not completely finished nor at the point to where I would like to be. It was not a very good approach being that this is a very big assignment. I tend to stress out a lot but I plan to take it step by step. Where did you write this project? Good approach? Most of my work has been done in the learning commons at DCCC. I have attempted many times to do work at home but never can I get anything done. It is just too hectic. Kids fighting, things flying, me screaming. Just dosn’t work. I literally drive straight from work to campus just to get some quiet time to get work done and I think this is the best thing I can do. Why did you choose to write about your chosen topic? Good choice? I chose to write about universal health care because my children just got kicked off of their CHIP insurance, which I’m highly upset about. Apparently, I make too much money. Which I don’t understand how. Nothing has changed in the 2 years that I have worked at the same job. Now I’m forced to pay outrageous prices for health insurance. This is a constant issue that many people face everyday. So, I figured this would be a great topic to write about. How did it feel to write this argument ("during, after, and since")? Do you have any "if only" moments that can help you revise the draft? I wish I had more time. I wish I had more time for research, to write the paper, and to have it all organized. I just feel like this semester went by too fast towards the end. I'm usually not late with my deadlines but this paper has been a little more time consuming for me. How will you revise your argument? I will submit it to the online tutor on the DCCC website. I will also let someone who hasn’t read it yet, take a look at it. I also will use the notes we have taken in class regarding our MLA citations.

This blog post features my annotated bibliography for my research paper that I am in the process of writing. I chose my topic from the documentary film Where to Invade Next and I have written a full summary of the film in my blog post: Summary and Rhetorical Analysis of Where to Invade Next. My research question for my paper is: Should the American government provide universal healthcare for its citizens? Below, I have provided sources that are relevant to my paper and will help me develop my argument that the US government should provide its citizens with a universal healthcare system.

In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore went over many different aspects that could help make America a better county. Here I mentioned a few topics that are debatable and in my blog post #9, I summarized the documentary “Where to Invade Next.”
In the documentary “Where to Invade Next”, Michael Moore travels to multiple European countries and interviews people to bring back ideas to improve the United States. Here I will write a rhetorical analysis of the film. Moore discovered that many countries other than the U.S. offers paid maternity leave, free college tuition, and thriving middle classes. Things in which our country is currently struggling with. With all of his traveling, Michael Moore came to conclusions that these principals began here in the United States but became lost and never found again.
Moore first traveled to Italy. There he discovered they receive eight weeks of paid vacation on top of paid maternity leave and paid honeymoon for newlyweds. In Italy, the whole month of August is a complete shutdown. In France, Moore discovered students have a full hour to eat and set up their lunch. They also focus on sex education differently than us Americans. Frances’s pregnancy rate is 2x lower than the United States. He visited Finland where it is ranked #1 for education. They believe in no homework and only have a 20 hour school week. They believe kids should still be able to be kids and play and interact. When Moore visited Slovenia, he discovered they have a free college system. Colleges are tuition free. Many American students travel to Slovenia to go to College with out inquiring any debt and the country is ok with that. When he went to Germany, he saw that the German’s have a thriving middle class. Warehouses have windows to keep the employees happy while at work. They also have a universal health care system and close to free child care. In Portugal, using and selling drugs is not a crime. By decriminalizing, drug use went down. Portugal also has a free healthcare system. They also believe that the death penalty is against human dignity. In Norway, they treat prisoners as normal human beings. Prisoners have the right to vote. The longest possible prison sentence in Norway is 21 years. In Norway, prisoners have about a 20% rate of being rearrested as apposed to the US of being 80%. Moore visited other European countries not to only seek about woman’s rights and free healthcare and so on but to bring up that all of these ideas were once American idea’s that just got lost and haven’t been found.
