Introductory Paragraph

My name is Robert Moore and I've recently became a Management major. I was previously a Finance major, Unfortunately, I did not do too well the previous semester and it provoked me to switch majors. Management was my second choice after Finance.  I want to have the intelligence on taxes and investments as well as have the knowledge to run a business. I told myself that if finance do not work out for me I was going to try Management. I made it to my senior year in finance, but my GPA was well under a 2.0, and management I did good in the management classes that I've took in the past, so I am willing to give this major a shot. Also, I've manage to work full time 40 hours a week job and having to work mandatory overtime for Amazon, I was not engaged in class because of the lack of sleep I was getting. It was horrible. I am looking to make a change so I can graduate on time and finally get out of school.  I've enjoyed my time at Shippensburg, but I know it's time for me to go and start my life post graduation.  I am ready for to start my life as an adult on own and find some special people to stick around for the rest of my life.

research essay: Jobs

People go to college to pursue a career in their interest of study.  Sadly many people do not  pursue a job in their field of study. This topic does bring stress and concern to the college graduates. I am a college student, I feel as though what is my purpose to pursue a degree when people are not hiring like they used to?  This is an issue because people should get rewarded for their hard work. The debt people obtain while in their 4 years of study has to be payed off, if not they will start off with a low credit score. 

I believe if a person graduated from college with a 3.0 + GPA and receive internships and a good resume for the job, that person should get hired. That person did not go to college to get a degree for nothing.  Now that person feel as though that they wasted their time trying to better their life. Some people come from a background of being less fortunate and really can not afford to go to college. But their parents are willing to pay for them to go just because they want their child to have a brighter future.  College is expensive, it will take a while to get out of debt.

Argument #1 Kilbourne

Kilbourne's argument is that society has changed in the role of women.  Women have to look a certain way to be considered attractive. In modern times, men are more concerned about looks rather than the quality of a woman.  In Dr. Jean Kilbourne's lecture, she quoted "If your hair isn't beautiful the rest doesn't matters". Women in modern have to have a high standard in their looks. Women look make advertising a product much easier and more revenue to a company. When people see a pretty women promoting a product it makes men want to buy it for their wives and certain women for themselves. In their mind, they need this product to feel beautiful and divine. This is a strategic method advertisers use to sell and promote their products.

People have no respect for women in the world. People are brainwashed to think that all women need to provide is their looks to be acceptable in society.  No one cares about what the role of a woman provides other than sex appeal. In advertising, women are treated like objects. A woman must be flawless or they will go unnoticed. A quote to back up my argument from "Killing us Softly 4". "Women must work for a lifetime to achieve the flawless look, and feel ashamed when we do not".  (Kilbourne). Advertisers got women effortlessly buying their products to make them achieve the look of the model using their product.

A strategy of achieving a flawless look is to photo shop a woman. To be realistic no woman can achieve the flawless look. The computer guys in the magazine industry photo shop different body parts from other women creating one flawless woman.  The quote from "Killing Us Softly 4" will back up my argument. "So we might be looking at a TV commercial and think we are seeing one woman when really we are seeing four". A woman does not have the perfect body structure unless its been "computer-touched".

Reflection #2

The writing process helped me gather my thoughts more thoroughly than just writing my opinion carelessly. It gives a basic foundation on how to write good papers. I was so used to writing papers without gathering my thoughts completely. I end up getting a mediocre grade on my papers. The writing process helps me gather my thoughts and  go over my mistakes. I learned that no paper is perfect. People should always have somebody look over your papers. Other people can see something in your paper you can not see. Also it is good to have a second opinion, therefore your paper can have a high chance of getting a solid grade. 

I learned that I can adjust to different writing methods. I came to Shippensburg not knowing the foundations. I figured that not knowing the foundation behind writing would be my downfall in writing intensive class.  I was wise to pick this course. I learned how to be more confident in my ability to write as well as type papers.  Since I learned the steps of the writing process, I can critique on other people papers.
