Another essay completed! Wow, time flies. I'm happy we got a bit of an extension on this paper because I needed that elbow room to make some much-needed corrections. I think Affirmative Action is very appropriate for a Rogerian Argument, but I didn't have a lot of experience with the topic. I can't think of a moment where I've been personally victimized by it, so I had no personal experience to include in my paper. This is the second paper where this has happened to me. I feel that I did a good job remaining neutral and finding common ground. Oddly enough, I almost feel as if the last assignment, my "Amy Chua paper" was more Rogerian than the paper I just completed. I wish I could have submit that essay for this assignment, but alas, what's done cannot be undone.
I had to work diligently to make sure I did not offend anyone by discussing this topic. Like I said, I don't have any personal experience with this topic, i just felt that it would be easier to incorporate Rogerian ideals into my body paragraphs. Finding research had its challenging moments because in my searches, I came across many biases and racist websites that I could not use.
I'm now really looking forward to writing the Narrative Argument, because I can tell a real story and use personal experience to help build my argument. While I know that I have to use outside research to support my claims in the fourth and final paper, arguing on my own (as I have been doing in my first drafts) will prove to be very effective.
