Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published December 6, 2013 (volume 23, issue 43)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Humanities Education-Should Graduates' Earnings Guide Evaluations of Colleges: Pro"by Mark Schneider, President of College Measures "Humanities Education-Should Graduates' Earnings Guide Evaluations of Colleges: Con"by Patricia McGuire, President of Trinity Washington University par. 1Imagine you walk into a car showroom where the sticker on every car window says, “Expected mileage 24.6 mpg.” When you ask the salesperson about the mileage of the model you're shopping for, the response is, “Well, 24.6 is the national average for all cars. That's all I can tell you.” Obviously, that wouldn't be an acceptable answer. Yet, that's the situation we face with regard to one of the most important outcomes of a postsecondary degree: student earnings after degree completion. par. 2Right now, we know that students with an associate degree earn more on average than those with a high school diploma, and students with a bachelor's degree earn more on average than those with an associate degree. But there is only spotty information about earning variations across schools, degrees and programs of study. There is wide variation, however. The title of my report, “Higher Education Pays: But a Lot More for Some Graduates than Others,” telegraphs this important fact, based on data from several states. par. 3The report consistently found that students with liberal arts degrees usually fare poorly in the job market. At the bachelor's level, Arkansas graduates with a degree in music performance were the lowest paid graduates in the state ($19,800 vs. $32,800 for all graduates). In Tennessee, this distinction went to photography majors (average pay $28,700 vs. $37,600 for all graduates). In Virginia, philosophy majors earned just over $20,000, compared to $33,100 for all graduates. In contrast, students with technical degrees, especially engineering, top the salary scale. The poor pay performance of liberal arts graduates also is found at the master's degree level. par. 4The United States supports a great diversity of higher education institutions, with different prices and different rates of return on the money and time students invest in degrees. And, right now most students are told that higher education is a good investment—and on average it is. However, the rates of return for degrees, schools and majors vary widely. Unfortunately, this information is not easily available to students, their families or the legislators who vote to support higher education with billions of dollars every year. par. 5Just as consumers wouldn't buy a car without knowing the mileage of the models they're considering, the nation shouldn't accept not knowing the returns on the investments that students, families and taxpayers make in higher education. par. 1Common Cause founder John W. Gardner wrote that we must beware of exalting philosophers while scorning plumbers. Otherwise, we risk having a society where “neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.” In 1968, Gardner was worried about the plumbers. But today, the plumbers are doing all right. It's the philosophers we need to worry about. par. 2The White House recently proposed a rating system for higher education that will include institutional data on the salaries of recent graduates. Already, data-mining entrepreneurs are producing lists that prompt scary headlines about majors such as “Worst College Majors for Your Career” and “5 best and worst schools for ROI” [return on investment]. par. 3None of this is news. Since the days when Socrates gave free lectures under a tree, we've known that philosophy doesn't pay much, but it seems fairly essential to a coherent, good society. We also know that engineering, also essential for constructing the tangible infrastructure of that good society, can be very lucrative. par. 4But somebody has to provide counseling to all those rich engineers, teach their children, curate the museums they enjoy, write their novels, maintain the civic life of their communities and, yes, construct theories about inequality. Such occupations are not less worthy simply because they pay less. par. 5Data on the salaries of alumni inform the college-choice process for prospective students. If our institutions are as good as we claim, we should be proud to report outcomes like the percentage of employed graduates, types of careers, and, yes, average salary ranges for alumni across experience levels. par. 6But there's a massive difference between the fair reporting of salary outcomes versus rating institutions (or majors) based on a rank-order of the specific salary values of the jobs held by our graduates. Ranking salaries disparages many occupations while exalting a few in a way that betrays society's need to have well-educated professionals across a full range of careers. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Humanities Education-Should Graduates' Earnings Guide Evaluations of Colleges: Pro” and "Humanities Education-Should Graduates' Earnings Guide Evaluations of Colleges: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose. To start, determine what you believe is each author’s specific purpose. Choose one of the following specific purposes for each author: to accuse, to calm, to condemn, to celebrate, to correct, to counter, to defend, to dismiss, to incite, to justify, to overturn, to praise, to provoke, to rally, to silence, or to solve. Then, determine which one of the following rhetorical tools or rhetorical appeals the "Pro" author relies upon most heavily in his or her article to achieve his or her specific purpose and then which one of the following rhetorical tools or rhetorical appeals the "Con" author relies upon most heavily in his or her article to achieve his or her specific purpose. You must choose both rhetorical tools and/or appeals from the following list: allusions authorities/outside sources definitions description dialogue examples facts figurative language narration personal testimony/anecdotes scenarios statistics counterarguments concessions qualifiers organization voice appeal to logic appeal to emotion appeal to character appeal to need appeal to value Organize your ideas into a four-paragraph essay that includes the following paragraphs: (paragraph 1) an introduction paragraph; (paragraphs 2 and 3) two separate, well-developed rhetorical tools and/or rhetorical appeals body paragraphs (one focused on the "Pro" author's use of your chosen rhetorical tool or appeal to achieve his/her specific purpose and the other focused on the "Con" author's use of your other chosen rhetorical tool or appeal to achieve his/her specific purpose); and (paragraph 4) a conclusion paragraph. Your essay must include a forecasting thesis statement and effective topic and concluding sentences in each body paragraph. At least four times in your essay, you also must correctly integrate quotations, paraphrases, and/or summaries from the above-noted articles; remember to include proper in-text citations.

Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published September 24, 2010 (volume 20, issue 33)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Pro"by Cathleen Norris, Professor of Learning Technologies at the University of North Texas "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Con"by Elias Aboujaoude, Psychiatrist and Researcher at Stanford University par. 1The Internet is just a roadway. But with mobile devices in the palms of their hands, all children, rich or poor, can hop onto that roadway to explore their ideas, collaborate with friends and establish new contacts. For a youth living below the poverty line in Detroit, an Internet-connected smartphone is arguably the most empowering opportunity in that child's life. par. 2Of course, we adults must provide instruction and guidance to help children make the best use of this truly unique opportunity. Although the temptations to squander the opportunity are but a finger-tap away, we are seeing that with proper adult support children can and do make effective use of their Internet-connected smartphones. As a young African-American girl commented to a CNN interviewer in describing her fifth-grade lesson on the Revolutionary War, “Now I can do something interesting with my phone, not just text.” par. 3The Internet naysayers say the Web encourages shallowness in thinking. But, in the context of the level of engagement that an Internet-connected smartphone affords and engenders, the naysayers' comments are mere quibbles. Paper, pencils, textbooks, blackboards—the stuff of America's classrooms—simply do not engage today's “mobile generation.” For better or worse, this generation needs the interactivity and feedback provided by Internet-connected mobile devices. par. 4In classrooms from Singapore to the U.K. to Toms River, N.J., where students use such devices as essential tools for learning for 40 to 70 percent of the school day—plus time on the school bus or in the bleachers at their brother's soccer match—understanding is improving, and so are test scores. “All 150 students in the project did every lick of homework—on time,” says Mike Citta, principal of Hooper Avenue Elementary School in Toms River. par. 5There is no magic in these devices; test scores improve because the students are spending more time on task because they are more engaged in their studies when using curriculum that is based on Internet-connected mobile devices. par. 6There is no going back. Within five years every child in every grade in every school in America will be using mobile learning devices 24/7. And watch the test scores skyrocket! par. 1Much has been said about how digital media are changing the way we write. Not surprisingly, reading is also changing. Eye-tracking experiments suggest that online reading does not progress in a “logical” way but unfolds like a giant-font letter “F” superimposed on the page. Users read in a horizontal movement across the upper part; move toward the bottom and read across in a second horizontal movement; then scan the left side in a quick vertical glance. Online reading seems just as foreign as online writing. par. 2We scan and forage, rather than read, in part because of significant competition from other Web pages. Much of learning starts with a teacher imploring students to “pay attention.” Yet many kids seem unable to focus for longer than it takes to write a status update. par. 3Studies of students suggest a link between attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Internet use. For example, in a study involving 216 college students, 32 percent of Internet “addicts” had ADHD, compared to only 8 percent of normal users. While this does not prove causality, it suggests that our virtual lifestyle may be making us crave Ritalin, the drug used to control ADHD. par. 4Another cornerstone of cognition is memory: What good are reading, writing and attentiveness without retention? But more students are asking: Why bother to remember when all information is at our fingertips and when a Gmail account arrives with 7 gigabytes of storage? Memorizing has become a lost art as we have moved from cramming our brains to cramming our hard drives. par. 5Where does this leave us? Because information is power, we feel empowered, but this is deceptive if we are gradually becoming less smart. Our ability to focus is compromised, which is one reason we love Twitter. But Twitter, in turn, further compromises our mental processing power, making us crave even speedier, less complex tools. par. 6This cycle, and this dumbing-down, may prove counter-democratic. While the great equalizing effect of the Internet wipes out differences, instead of enhancing democracy, it may be moving us toward demagoguery. Demagogues' half-truths and propaganda require probing, dissection and debate, but one is too distracted. One just got tweeted. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Pro” and "Impact of the Internet-Is the Internet Making Students Smarter: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.
