1.  Open with a statistic about unsafe drinking
2.  Personal Story- the time I got a ticket

Speech 2 outline

Problem: The police presence in the bars in the downtown district of Iowa City has increased drastically as compared to last year.  But is the greater police presence helping students?  The police presence in the bars only scares underage people to leave the bars.  The likelihood that they will continue to drink a private setting in strong.  This poses a threat the individuals health.  Drinking in a public space, like the bars enables bartenders, bouncers and security to help if someone is too intoxicated.  Drinking in a private setting leaves more room for risk.  

Solution: Reduce the amount of cops going to bars to write tickets and increase the amount of cops going to keep people safe.  I understand that drinking underage and being the bars past 10 is illegal, but at people at the bars are college students are going to drink regardless of its at the bars to in a private setting.  at least if they are at the bars, there are people there that can help keep them staff.   When he police do come to the bars, their motive should not be to write people tickets, it should to keep people safe.

Justification:  If the cops were focused on keeping people safe, obviously the number of tickets would go down, but the number of people admitted to the hospital would also decrease as they are in public and can receive help from the staff of the bars.  It would also reduce risking drinking were everyone is intoxicated.  It would create a safer environment where people can help other who are too intoxicated.              

Analysis of Sample Papers

1. Textbook: pro- clearly states the problem and solution 

                 con- very short

Meal plan: pro- organized well 

                  con- reasons were kind of vague 

Nuclear power: pro- very well constructed and clearly states the problem and why the author has a better solution than what is already out there 

                          con- don't like that the author ended with so many questions  

2.  nuclear power, meal plan, textbook 

Topic Proposal

For major assignment 2, the topic that I am going to research is how sometimes, AP credits/dual credit classes from high school do not transfer.  

Major Speech 2

This assignment asks us to find an issue and then suggest a way to solve it.  We are making an argument as to why this is a problem and trying to persuade the audience to agree with us.  We will use a visual aide to help persuade the audience to understand why there is an issue.  We have access to so many resources to justify the solution to the problem.
Questions
1.  Is there a certain number of resources you would like us to use?
2.  What should the visual aides consist of?

Intro and method

IMRaD Paper

Introduction

People are admitted to the hospital everyday for a variety of reasons.  Many people have one goal; to improve their health.  This causes patients to make a lot of exceptions when it comes to how they are treated by the staff.  When I say treated, I mean by the way the staff and patient interacted. A survey was conducted to show results of how people felt they were treated by the staff based on their reason for admission.   Not much research has been done to find a correlation between reason for admission and interaction with the staff, so I was curious to see what the results would show.   It is obvious that when people are admitted for very serious illness, they may be treated differently.  This study focuses on people who were admitted for a short period of time.  

Method

Participants

The research found was based on a survey that was sent to students at The University of Iowa.  This included males and females between the ages of 18-22 to obtain a wide variety of data. 

Procedure

To obtain the research required, a survey was sent out to students at The University of Iowa.  They were asked five questions about their last experience at a hospital.  Some of the questions include why they were at the hospital, how long they were there for, and if they felt like they were treated properly.
