below is a direct quote from the authors. |
Authors Editors Note:
"For my page, I chose to include my Profile, Memoir, and Persuasion Effect Project. I feel like these were my best projects, and really show how I want to present my topic. I chose my profile, to show that there is at least one person in the world fighting for equality. My memoir tells the story of how I was introduced to women's issues through Hollywood, and how I really changed my mind set. And last is my persuasion effect project, which really tells the stories of what women and even men have suffered through to gain equality. I hope my page can bring some knowledge to those who are wondering about this specific topic."

"As I was thinking about my projects and which ones to include between them all, I chose to have my Profile, informational, and persuasion effect projects. As I felt like those projects had my best work and also the most time I had put into them that would clearly define my social issue. This issue i wanted to bring to light is to show that their IS negatives with the use of marijuana, as we hear from so many people is that it only can do good, it helps with pain, and alzheimers, with no issues about it, and that you dont even get addicted like my persuasion . This page will show you that their might not be noticeable changes like cigarettes change physical appearances. "

"I chose to include my information effect, profile, and persuasion effect on my website page, I felt like this is the best choice of projects set to put up. I think I made that decision because my Profile Project shows first-hand experience of women who had abortions and how they felt about it after, It gives you the perspective of other people, then It goes on to show you my Information Effect which helps you learn common facts about abortion and it's procedures, after that is the Persuasion Effect, which I made my decision of being pro-choice where I gave you my feedback and perspective on things."

I decided to go with my persuasion, profile and memoir. I did some different editing as it was placed into the website because I found the way I had them done didn't look the way I felt it should to be more appealing. In my persuasion, I used the slide show because it is an effective way to show others both visually stimulating photos to engage them emotionally and information to help those understand the severity of the issue. This topic really needs both to fully grasp the issue. In my memoir, I wanted to help others understand a little about where my past comes into play and the visualization as well of what happened to me before I brought in the full issue I was going to be focusing on. Recognizing now this was the beginning of my project this year, I adapted the end to where we are at the end of the semester after research. With my profile, I focused on Nicole Beverly who is a carries a concealed weapon and her thoughts of before her abuser was in prison to after. It matters when your life is really at risk and hers was. Any mention of others was to help fully understand the other side of this, that those with PTSD and anxiety might not fully benefit from owning a weapon. I felt all of these together would entice the reader to grasp both side of a very complex and misunderstood topic.
