RJA #12b: Presentation Plan
For my presentation, I will design it in Power Point and include charts and graphs that demonstrate the amounts of foreclosures, bankruptcys, and banks and financial institutions that have failed in the last ten years. I will have a section on the New Deal that tells the history behind government oversight of banks, and a section that discusses the law that changed in 1999, when government oversight was removed.
RJA 12a: Progress Report
I am up to date with my posts, and I have completed my thesis and introduction, and textbook readings, up to week 12, (this week), and I have watched and read the links and assignments from the learning modules. I have five pages of bookmarks on my Delicious account, and I have been working through them, reading them for relevancy and removing ones that don’t apply at all to my topic. I have been learning a lot about my topic and have found different directions to explore while developing my paper.
For my 'to do' list, I will read chapter’s 8 and 12 by Monday November 9, and have my outline, Presentation, and extra credit assignment 2 completed by November 9. For the week of November 10 (week 13) it looks like there is a journal assignment 13 and discussion 8, which I will hopefully have completed by November 16. After that I will continue to follow the weekly assignments when they are posted with due dates.

RJA 11a: Introduction
Government oversight over banks and other financial institutions is critical in preventing another recession, or worse, another Great Depression. Accounting standards must be changed as well, to allow for more honest and consistent financial reporting from companies. The American people have been losing jobs, losing their homes, having to file for bankruptcy, and losing their faith in the government because of the state of the economy over the last ten years. Companies have been able to change their financial statements and defraud the American people and the government has allowed it by changing the law’s regarding oversight. There should be government oversight of banking and financial institutions, and a new accounting standard should be implemented and enforced, to ensure that the American people and the Government are not defrauded by companies that hide profits and losses in accounting reports.
RJA 10b: Argument
Research question: Should there be government oversight of banks and financial industries, or would a new accounting standard be enough to stop a recession?
Answer/thesis/claim: There should be government oversight of banking and financial institutions, and a new accounting standard should be implemented and enforced, to ensure that the American people and the Government are not defrauded by companies that hide profits and losses in accounting reports.
Ethos: Government oversight over banks and financial institutions should be reinstated to control what banks are doing and how they are reporting financial gains and losses.
Would your audience find appeals based on ethos to be persuasive? Where and how will you demonstrate your credibility and authority as an author? I think my audience would respond to ethos as my argument. I will find sources written by experts in the field to back this up.
Pathos: Government oversight should be reinstated to spare the American people any future pain and stress from foreclosures, job losses, and bankruptcy.
Would your audience find appeals based on pathos to be persuasive? Where and how will you include appeals to the audience’s emotions? My audience might respond to pathos, but on a limited basis. A lot of people have been impacted emotionally by the economy over the last few years, but there still needs to be fact based evidence to back up my argument.
Logos:
Would your audience find appeals based on logos to be persuasive? Where and how will you appeal to your audience through logic and reasoning? I think my audience would respond to logos, its logic and reasoning, and everyone responds to a logical and reasonable argument.
