Reflection on Draft
This
assignment allowed me to become more efficient in thinking about ethos, pathos,
and logos when considering the value of research sources. There are a plethora
of sources available on healthcare and its implications, but most of them
provide only statistics. Although these are helpful and give a form of
credibility, they provide little emotional appeal. That is why I turned to
personal interviews. They are primary sources that provide credibility and they
are also able to provide emotional appeal. Instead of reading obscenely long
scientific articles filled with copious amounts of information, I am able to
find the sections of articles I need. Indeed, I have become more efficient in
reading scientific articles, as I now know where specific information can be
found in specific parts of a report or other forms of scientific writing.
This
paper also aided me in providing an emotional appeal without necessarily
providing any bias. Healthcare is an important topic and affects everyone. I
needed to emphasize this, especially emotionally, without providing any of my own
opinions on the subject. This also includes minor adjectives that could sway an
audience to perceive a term or event in a way it objectively is not. Instead I
had to rely on evidence to provide this appeal, rather than my own style or
writing. It highlights the difference in writing in a scientific format as
opposed to other forms.
