D#3 HW#8-10

8.
*What is the research question?
How does teen abstinence affect your future health?
*What is the context?
Information regarding your health as a teen and future depending on you choice to abstain from sex.
*What is the purpose?
To research the topic, argue a point, and successfully get that across to your audience.
*Who is the audience?
My peers, and instructor.
*How do you fit into the context?
It's a topic that affects me personally, family, and friends.
*How do the answers to these five questions affect one another and your understanding of the topic?
they all tie in together because ultimately they lead to the goal of a grade. The are the foundation of the assignment as a whole. I think i might change my topic just because i feel like i could pick something better i just don't have the time to think it through fully since the deadline for this is in 45 mins.

The rhetorical situation differs from W#1 because you are more or less presenting your research. W#2 you discuss your topic as from someone elses perspective, and in W#3 you combine both W#1 & W#2 in an effort to argue a point to your audience.

9. I think the topic of teen abstinence is particularly interesting. I’m just getting out of my teenage years so it’s a decision I’ve had to make myself. Also I have two siblings that are a couple years younger than me that I’m sure will have to make a decision on the topic if they haven’t already not to mention friends. I’ve had close friends whose health has been affected by STD’s and the decision in general to have sex while still in their teen years. I think that how you take care of you body now will have lasting affects on it later on. For example living with aids, or herpes, or some other sexually transmitted disease.

10. Is this like a practice on your own kind of thing or are their specific examples in the book?

  1. I like your attitude towards teen abstinence. I to believe that what you do to your body will effect you later in life. What scares me the most is that AIDs can hide in your body for 10 years. Not to mention all of the STD's out there. When my children get into their early teens I'm going to go get a medical book with pictures of what different STD's do and look like so they will think twice. I would like to know more about this topic so I could have more ammo for later in life. :)
