This week I really focused on the conclusion section of the reading. Introduction and conclusions are something I have always struggled with because I want to excite my readers in the beginning and then keep them thinking at the end of my paper; I try to leave them wanting more. I always struggle with introductions and conclusions because I want to use the perfect words, and then I feel like the perfect words never come out. The reading this week just encouraged me to really take time to try and make my conclusion a bold statement.

After reading the assignments for the week my view on researching has changed quite a bit. When I research something I am naturally biased; I only look for information that would "suit my fancy" or my bias. After reading pages 143-159 I realized that researching this way can lead to an unsuccessful paper. Also whenever I am assigned a research paper, the first resource I run to is the internet; this is not necessarily the best resource option.

The youth of today are becoming more mature, and this can dangerous. Why is it that children are changing drastically and maturing greatly today? I think there are many factors that play into this idea. How parents choose to raise their children, a child’s peers and environment all affect their maturing process at a young age.

In my opinion this website is poorly designed, mostly because of the way it is set up. It is very sporadically put together. There are so many links on the left side that if I were trying to navigate something I needed it would be difficult.

The website is clear on its specific purpose, but it does not go about using communication strategies. It is not a user-friendly website, so it turns the audience off right away.
