Evaluation During Reading

When you are going to write an article it is very important that you investigate seriously on your subject. A well written article has various sources that you have to evaluate. You do not want to quote or state a fact that comes from an author who is not accredited or well reknown. Everyone can post information on the internet so you have to decide who are you going to believe, and what exactly do you want to say. When getting to know a source you have to be like a csi investigator; you have to check the person up as well as all of their work. Maybe read a biography on the author, learn some of what he writes besides the text of information. Most important is to not stick to one source but look around in the market. There are billions of books and cites and articles that are offering one same product; you have to know what you are looking for and select from the market what you want to browse. After browsing and having a general knowledge on each source, choose the most important ones, preferably few of them. Select those who offer what you want. You are the client so just obtain exactly what you want. Determine also what is in the producer's mind by exposing those ideas, what does this person or group of people want you to get out of what they write, basically what is the purpose of their piece so you can get that out of it. You have to be the judge and state whether this source is biased or if does not provide enough evidence to support their case. You also want to check if this evidence is pertinent with the time period because evidence and facts and opinions from our great grandfathers will not work as fine as those provided by scholars from this time. Finally be aware that you are doing this for your self so have the highest expectations and always aim for prefection, this way you'll obtain the best sources the market offers.

Richard Dawkins

I believe this man exposes his book in a very very simple way. I prefer when authors leave it to your interpretation because this means the book is not shallow and can be read in diverse ways. He doesn't get philosophical which is excelent and is most probably something he could do whilst talking about his book. I also like the fact that he is humble and he is not celebrating his intelligence on writing such an extraordinary book but he is admiring Darwin and his theory. This man in not just a writer but a true scientist. This will change somewhat my perspective of the book in a good way.

So That Nobody Has To Go To School If They Don't Want To

SUMMARY

This Roger Sipher is a crazy man. He believes education shouldn't be mandatory in public schools, because private schools don't need a compulsory law. The law shall set you free! I believe this statement is true and should be abided by all schools and entities. Education is necessary and this stupid, stupid man believes that if it weren't mandatory, the grades would go up and only those children committed to recieving a fine education will attend class. I think no kid wants to go to school, so they would be empty. We are very naive people and need some guidance and specially some strong rules so we can follow them and they lead us into a responsible adutlhood. Maybe this guy feels he is a psychologist and thinks that kids only want to break rules, so if there is no rule of going to school, they might go there out of pleasure. About 2% of our grade comes to school out of pleasure. Sipher believes the benefits to no compulsory-attendance laws are great, but I don't believe this thought should even be tested.

PARAPHRASING

Original: The solution to this problem is simple: Abolish compulsory-attendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend.

This conflict has a very easy answer: End obligatory attendance rules and only permit an education to those who are compromised.
