As looking back on forming my project two, I found this argument was quite difficult to master. The aspects of utilizing two opposing views were a new subject to me. I never really formed an argument with putting my sense and words into the essay to prove a point. In my film, it mostly discussed about the supporting views of the legalization and writing about the other side was an interesting task. Researching the negative views of marijuana and writing about them was a learning tool to improve my knowledge of the proper format of Rogerian arguments. I found this project a fun and learning experience to explore the views of marijuana. In relation to this project, writing and speaking an argument can perceive a different message. In my opinion, I find speaking with a persuasive voice can convey your message in a superior way.

Project 3 post
Even though I have written my project two about the legalization of marijuana, I am a full supporter of this social change and I find this will be an interesting topic to discuss about. As I read the curriculum for this project, I was quite clueless what to write about. Then I said to myself, I don't really want to write about the same topic. But, I decided to actually put my own sense and make it a formal piece to a higher authority or government official. I found using ethos, pathos, and logos as a useful tool to get my point across to the audience and I am excited to use these devices once again. The legalization of marijuana is a very interesting topic to me, and I find putting your own emotion to your paper makes a more successful product. For the format of the paper, I can use the injustice citizens have against this issue with using positive reinforces that could persuade the reader to my views. Even though this issue is being negotiated today, I still find this subject a crucial part of our society today because of the economic crisis we are in today. I am going to utilize this project to show what positive things will come out of marijuana being legalized will make our country a high salary income for the government with taxing this product. Consequently, this project could be an extension of my project two essays from the film Super high me to further my opinions of this social issue.
