1) This issue should be on people’s minds becasue this is a part of our everyday culture, and apart of how we look at the world around us. Statistics seem to catch peoples attention, and porbably if I relate what I am talking about to peoples everyday lives and how they view the world around them, then they will probably get a better understanging.

2)Many peopole suggest that the media has changed and that it has become more depressing and doesn’t show happy things about the world. This means that people are noticing a change but aren’t entirely sure why it changed or how it has changed.

3) I could read reseacrh article about chnges in our news media and also statisitics about media watching habits and how the public responses to the media. Those kinds of sources would help me further know what exactly I am writing about.

4) I don’t really have a thesis yet becasue I don’t know all of my casues just yet, so right now all I have is “The news media is losing its credibility mainly becasue they have publishing more and more soft stories. My thesis is still a work in progress and after some research i hope to get a better one written for my proposal.

I hope to finally understand this sythnesis process, becasue i thought I understand it, but really I don’t think i really got it. I hope in my final draft I will better understand it. I also think i need to develop my ideas a little better and not ramble on and repeat myself. I need to make clearer ideas and use more examples and be more specific. That is what I need to improve on in Essay 2 and beyond.

I believe all authors in one way or another use the same writing process. Some processes as like the one described in our text is very detailed and drawn out. I am sure everyone in one way or another does this, but they probably simplify it alittle bit so that either they can understand it or it produces an essay that thier audience can understand. I use a simplified version of this process. I don’t use text notes becasue that confuses me. Also my brainstorming process is a little simplier then most students because after talking about something long enough can get an idea of where my stance is on something and what I want to write my paper about. From there, once I start writing everything just seems to come out and come together. This is part of the reasons I have to produce more then one draft because I usually have to organize all of my thoughts so that they make sense outside of my head. Overall I believe all writers use the same process just at different levels.

when decided what college to go to, a student forms in their own mind where it is they want to go. From that orginal list the student then reschearches they schools in places like “The Prince Review” or collegeboard.com. Then students can go visit these school to look at them first hand and talk to actual students that go there. Based on this many different outlets they can then support their intial decison. All these of course is based on where they are accepted. this is a real life example of synthesis.

Some issues becoming apparent are things like making connections between to articles. Also finding the right way to express the common themes through thesis. Chapter 16 makes you think a lot about what popular culture icons and theme are shown around you. It makes you think about what these images mean and how we are suppose to live our lives in society. Also brought up is how corporations want you to see the world around you whiether it is how things really are or not. Do Corpations use images that show the world realisitically, or not?
