/in /by

TOPIC: Science VS Faith 

My Interests  on the topic: 

I am interested to write on this topic because it is an ongoing discussion that I come across in my day to day life. As a Christian I face a lot of controversy because of my beliefs. Doing my research paper on this topic will allow me to investigate the in and outs of why science and faith cannot co-exist and to also get a better understanding as to why certain people reject faith/religion. 

Potential Research Questions (you can pick your own questions to make paper better):

· Can science and religion be reconciled?

· What are the main obstacles that stop relationships from being formed between people of faith and non-religious people? 

· What is the basis of science?

· What is a belief/faith and how can we define it?

· What is true faith and how can it be defined? 

· What are the pro and cons of being a person of faith?

· What are the pro and cons of being a person who believes in science? 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

The Final Research Paper should be in MLA format: typed, double-spaced, 12-pt font size, 1 inch margins all around, including page numbers and a header (see picture below). You will write a 6-8-pg argument that is thesis-centered and supported with reasons, explanations, and examples. You must have a Bibliography with 10-15 sources and use a minimum of 3 of your sources in your essay directly. 

Final Draft: This draft should be a minimum of 6 full pages and contain a clear thesis, well thought-out reasoning and explanations, a minimum of 3 sources directly quoted or paraphrased, and address any opposition through counterargument and refutation. You must also include your polished Bibliography with 10-15 sources.

Project #4 Rhetorical Analysis AssignmentPeer Review Draft Due 4/25Final Draft Due 4/30For this assignment, you can choose to expand on your short rhetorical analysis outline, or choose another source, and write an extensive, 4-page rhetorical analysis of it. You need to think of about the message of the source and show how the author communicates the message to the audience. This assignment is designed toward the development of SLO 1 & 2..Content Requirements.

  • Provide a brief context of the source (source is from last 5 years)
  • What message is the author/rhetor delivering to the audience and how is this accomplished. This should be a clear and arguable claim that needs to be supported.
  • A summary of the major lessons to be learned from the rhetorical approaches of the source.
  • Include examples and quotes from your selected source.
  • A minimum of five rhetorical strategies introduced, explained, and analyzed. Highlight the rhetorical strategies after the sentence. Example: Hough’s smile comparing himself to a Boston Terrier on the surface seems innocent enough, imaging himself as a loyal and lovable fighter for a cause, but when we consider that the breed was initially designed to detect rats in dockside warehouses a troubling disconnect begins to emerge. The image shifts from a sturdy mascot to a slavish hunter, a mindless tracker, or a tool meant for one purpose alone–to root out hosts of discontent and disease. (FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE/SIMILE)

Techniques to consider:

  • The use of sensory images (a concrete detail that can be seen, heard, smelled, felt, tasted)
  • The diction (word choices–formal/informal, colloquial, jargon, etc.. and their denotation/connotations)
  • The use of hyperbole, exaggerated diction
  • One use of literary/figurative (similes, metaphors, allusions, analogies, personification) 
  • The use of hypothetical scenarios or examples
  • Rhetorical questions
  • The point of view (direct address-second person, first-person (personal anecdotes/experiences, 3rd person objective, etc.)
  • The types of empirical support (historical references, statistics, expert testimony, data, etc…)
  • The way reasoning works (deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, comparisons, contrasts, associations, process, cause/effect, etc.)
  • Other rhetorical techniques/fallacies (reincorporation, habitual vs. present action, exemplification, opposition, concessions, refutations, common misconceptions subverted, repetitions, interruptions, dialogue, paradoxes, fictional narratives, etc…)
  • Structure (chronology, thematic, increasing or decreasing importance)
