Chapter 2 of the textbook discusses two scenarios in which evidence may not meet some audience’s expectations. In the first scenario, two scientific studies are in conflict with each other In the second scenario, a child psychiatrist uses stories from his patients rather than statistics as evidence. Each case poses a problem regarding the use of evidence: We sometimes have difficulty reconciling conflicting pieces of evidence, and we are reluctant to see stories, rather than statistics, as valid evidence. In the essay that you are writing right now, what kinds of evidence have you found? In what way might it meet an audience's expectations? Name the audience, discuss how it may meet--or not meet--the audience's expectations, and explain why. Later in the week, compare your observations about evidence with those of your classmates.
My essay is about abortion and although there are many different opinions regarding this topic, there are also many, many different scientific evidence to support my argument. My essay is not just a he said she said type of essay. There are so many facts that support my beliefs when it comes to abortion. That is one of the reasons I chose this topic. I feel very strong in my beliefs and want to find all the facts, statistics, religious reasoning's to support my reasons for being pro life and showing
and explaining how terrible abortions are and are getting. I think my audience will be able to with out a doubt see that there is proof and understand exactly what my stand point is. Thank you!
