Today’s class help me develop ideas about my essay.  I thought about how I can avoid using a certain tone simply because I have a former inherited opinion about people who may disagree with my argument. In addition, it helped me to recognize areas that may be a source of bias and where that bias may stem from. This discussion also helped me think about how I might better address the opinions of my opposing audience to clearly explain why my stance is correct. I will focus on trying to dissolve any ideas or bias their opinions may originate from in order to effectively persuade the audience.
