Grammar errors may seem small and unimportant but when the same error continues to occur it can become an issue or even embarrassing. People that are able to use, subject-verb agreement, and full-length words on a regular basis intimidate some individuals. On occasions individuals that are able to use proper grammar are labeled as being preppy or nerdy. It seems as if it is a lot easier for a person to type, text, or speak gibberish instead of attempting to do those same tasks using correct English. There is a reluctance amongst educators to admit or ask the inevitable question; has technology made people lazy or just ignorant?
For details, I would love to focus on some identifies I found on “ Lessons from Another War” by Arthur s Brisbane had used, such as, subject and thesis, the purpose and audience, as well as the constructed persona and the ethos, and finally with authoritative testimony and analogy. First, Brisbane has given the subject clearly, the lessons from another war. The thesis is being used explicitly, is easy to recognize at the first sentence “We talk about generals fighting the last war.” Most of details discussed on these main points which concerns to “the narrative of the war" of New york Times in their coverage of Iran's nuclear program.” Brisbane‘s purpose is to teach, the war beside in Iran is the war “the narrative of war” by journalists. They also fight together on their writing, “I think journalists also do.” Other hand, he also tries to explain why the screen in Iran now through his strategy focus on some writing of other journalists, proved far more elusive and is complicated by The Times’ difficulty gaining access to the country, which carefully controls foreign news media. Author hopes to “move” his audience from a negative of view to position of viewed, some readers have concerned that the New York time falling on the narrative of war and not infrequently.
Stroop (1935) thought that using incongruent stimuli would cause interference and a delay in response time because of automaticity. He also thought that if he used congruent stimuli that facilitation would occur. Stroop saw that the condition that elicited the longest response time was the condition where the participant had to state the ink color rather than the written word. Thus, he saw that participants showed faster response times in the condition where they were to state the written color word and not its ink color. This faster response time appeared because the individual automatically processed and read the word before cognitively processing its ink color.
In this part of this assignment I am going to critically analyse an article by evaluating the relevance of the findings from the research. The article is “A Qualitative study investigating patients’ beliefs about cardiac rehabilitation.” I am going to use the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) to aid my critique. The CASP tool systematically explores the research to judge its value, relevance and trustworthiness. My evaluation on this evidence is that it has many good points and many bad points. I am going to focus on some of the good and bad points by critically appraising this article.
Adding on to this Mrs Cook also uses incorrect grammar which could also be due to where she comes from, ‘aint’ is said instead of ‘isn’t’ and is emphasised when the interviewer uses ‘isn’t’ ; showing the difference in regional areas are to have an effect on how someone speaks. Another example is’ they been’t too bad’ in contrast to when the interviewer says ‘they aren’t too bad’. It shows how someone’s grammar varies to another not because of their education and failure to learn standard grammar but to how regional areas have their own way of speaking, therefore highlighting the effectiveness of dialect to have in a spontaneous speech. You get the impression Mrs Cook is proud of her Gloucestershire
I believe that while the English language is in decline, it can be repaired. Many of the mistakes that people make when they write are due to over-thinking or not thinking enough, as stated in Simplicity by William Zinsser, “Thinking clearly is a conscious act that the writer must force upon himself.” Using too many words, not enough words, extravagant words, or inappropriate wording are all key flaws of writing (that I admit I’ve done). Still, all can be worked on and fixed. In Politics and the English Language, Orwell explains the causes of the decline of the English language and how the effects are often closely intertwined with the cause. Orwell uses the example, “A man may…drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks…the same thing…is happening to the English language.” Sometimes, bad habits cause other habits to exist and it turns into a cycle of disorder.
The Humanizing Effects Of Fiction By: Massimo Riccio The major downfall to the essay was the use of evidence and sentence structure. Working on correcting the following areas will help the following: - Correct any run on sentences, which in turn will help the syntax errors in the essay. - The proper use of quotes as evidence will further help readjust and correct other syntax errors caused by misplacement of quotes and evidence. All the corrections being made in the following areas will have universal effects on other criteria used for marking therefore improving many other areas in turn and improving the over all mark received for the essay. Fiction can be a great tool to broaden one’s outlook on the world.
We may attribute the deterioration of English writing with political language. Riddled with so many ambiguous statements, it is commonplace for political language to be written in modernized English. Political statements that are made offer no description of what the statement is truly about, but instead a large labyrinth of words. It is easier to deceive us when statements regarding politics are so vague. Instead of defining an issue, or explaining their intent, the statements they make are often misleading or unidentifiable.
We can keep our assumptions to ourselves but unless we consider all aspects of the situation we are not thinking critically. It is also important to recognize when you have made an assumption and attempt to rid yourself of the assumption, keeping it there will only make matters more difficult. • Fallacies are a mistaken belief, especially one based on an unsound argument. Fallacies in written arguments generally come from some type of news source: Biased material that tries people to believe something though it may just be for their gain. Fallacies in oral arguments are similar to written arguments.
So in other words, figurative language is used to add spice to text/words that would in other circumstances be uninteresting. If delivered well, it can ingeniously get a point across. But a bad delivery can possibly be confusing. Idiom An idiom is an expression that deviates from the usual meanings of the word used. Idioms would be meaningless if taken in the literal context.
