Persuasive Essay Writing
For my persuasive writing essay my focus topic was bipolar disorder. My thesis statement was “The increased awareness of bipolar disorder can bring beneficial outcomes like reducing the stigma, improved methods of how to treat the mental illness, and better understanding of people who have bipolar disorder.” Persuasive writing is different than other writing because it is a collection of arguments from a point you want to prove that are backed up with evidence. The process of writing a persuasive essay helped define what I was advocating for because I formatted my work by having a claim backed up with the evidence from a source, and saying how it connects back to my thesis.
In humanities we touched on some of the basic and social needs for society, we agreed that basic needs were food, water, and shelter, and that some social needs were love, money, and human interaction. We touched on these topics because social and basic needs are human needs, and when they aren’t met it can lead to brain and physical health difficulties. In my opinion, historically the U.S has been getting better at attending to people’s basic and social needs, throughout the years the U.S has accommodated to satisfy everyone's need.
