As I continue research for my Rogerian Essay I have found
several articles that are the exact opposite viewpoint of my original thoughts
towards a thesis. Some of these articles make very good sense. I guess now that
I am armed with all of these facts and viewpoints I need to decide which
viewpoint I am going to argue for before I write my essay. It amazed me that
some of these differing viewpoints were actually making me think about changing
my original stance on the subject.
My research was actually hampered by yesterday’s winter
weather. Originally I had off today and was going to the library to do some
research. Most of my research is going to have to be internet based unless I
can venture out tomorrow. I did however find some newspaper blog sources and
some excerpts from books that were helpful. At first I was afraid I wouldn't be
able to find any opposing viewpoints on my subject. Thank goodness there were
some available.

Jason, I think that if your research is making you start to change your opinion about your topic, that just means that you are researching well. I think that being able to see both side of an argument will help you when writing your paper, because you will be able to see weak spots in both arguments. If you see weak places, you will be able to argue them. Good luck writing!
ReplyDeleteGO JASON. I agree you must have done some really good research to even give yourself second thoughts on your opinion, you should have a REALLY good rogerian paper :-)
