The author does this again when looking at the statistics Canada study. Although she does make mention of the year of the study, there is no further information about where to find or review the study itself. There is a reason that using references and giving credit to those who completed the research is important. I often find myself reading something, and wanting to dive further into the content and learn more about the topic discussed. With this poor use of sources, it makes this a more challenging feat for those who wish to learn
Malcolm X goes on to say that he would spend the rest of his days reading, “If I weren’t out here every day battling the white man.” Malcolm X describes prison as his college. He thinks that no one got more out of prison that he did because of what he was able to accomplish with reading and writing.

Through my high school career, I always followed the motto of receiving and completing one task and then moving onto the next. Therefore, I would have to say that I have always been the type that reads “with the grain.” I would rather work with the author’s ideas as opposed to reproducing an argument in terms of my own personal experience. In other words, arguing is not my area of expertise. When I read a book, I often think of the work put into the writing and place myself in the writer’s situation. I find myself lost in thought of how they create ideas to generate their writings and find this to be a difficult task.

Having these capabilities will be an important virtue in fulfilling my duties as an Army officer.

I try to take a few minutes each day to read about current studies and often read books either directly about the field or related ones so I can look at issues from multiple perspectives. What are your greatest strengths? Weaknesses?
