Post 2: My Rhetorical Situation
Many students have a blockade when it comes to articulating and researching academic writing pieces in an academic session. Sure, we can all write an entire book when it comes to expressing our emotions over text message to our significant other when we're mad at them but when it comes to writing a piece for an academic setting who really wants to sit down and write about why school is the greatest thing to ever happen?
Blockade or Brain Block is defined as " an inability to recall some specific thing or perform some mental action." or in my personal definition; "I'm just too lazy to do it and I'll get to it". Popularly described as procrastination. It happens to the best of us and for some reason or another we put things off in not only an academic setting but in our life as well. Reasons vary but for most it's: work, stress, and/or technology.
Procrastination is a highly weighted subject that every student deals with in their academic career and forward, it's not something that is dealt with in only an academic setting but a work setting as well. Somewhere in everybody's life we will procrastinate even if it is in daily household tasks that need to be completed.
I'm writing this not only to explain the situation but to back the facts and evidence that procrastination has arguments that in certain cases can actually be beneficial. You might ask how but many people could believe such an argument, but don't we all when it comes to our own personal beliefs? It is believed that in many cases that procrastination can be beneficial in a way that we are productive with our time. Giving time in between the work due date may leave you in an anxious doubt during the timeline and with this being said it's believed that we can answer many questions in a short timeline.
When a piece is written about the choices of procrastination you must argue both sides so the reader can understand a better sense of both sides of the story. It really is a crazy topic to think about how it could be a good thing sometimes but when really opening up and looking at the text in a piece, you get a better understanding of where the writer is coming from on his reasoning.
As a reader, we must make up our minds and come to a conclusion based on the question in the original subject. The subject to the piece explains our what, and to give the reader a better idea on the piece. For an example, my topic subject could be, "Is Procrastination Actually Bad for You?" this leaves a hook that draws the reader into the piece to answer the question.
My point in writing this piece is to persuade to you my opinion, but to also explain the other side of the argument in order for you to get a better idea on the matter in order for you to make an unbiased and interesting writing piece to come to a conclusion based on facts and your personal opinion.
