(3) list at least three reasons to support your thesis · Employers tend to assume that someone with less skill in language and grammar might have less skill available for job positions. · Individuals gravitate towards a higher social status when they are perceived as more educated and therefore more intelligent based on their language. · Someone who has stronger skills in language are more likely to be trusted and accepted compared to those with weaker skill due to lack of and broken communication. Question 2: Respond to the table above and give feedback on this particular thesis and reasons.

Suggest an alternative thesis that better relates to the topic/issue. · Does the thesis meet the criteria for an effective thesis? If so, how? If not, why not? Suggest possible revisions to make it an effective thesis. · Are the reasons relevant to the thesis? If so, how? If not, why not? Suggest alternative reasons that are more relevant to the thesis. · What other insight or suggestions might you offer your classmate regarding her/his topic, thesis, and reasons? Question 3: Quoting and Paraphrasing Ideas from Sources In this discussion, you will share one of your reasons and connect it with information from one of the previously assigned readings. Think about the development of your case study and write a post where you: (EXPERT: PLEASE NOTE WE ARE USING LANGUAGE AND POWER FOR THIS QUESTION) (1) state one of your reasons in support of your thesis (2) post a quote from one of the previously assigned readings that you will use as evidence for your reason (3) paraphrase the quote and explain how the quote relates to your thesis and reason (4) demonstrate proper use of quotations, accurate APA in-text citations, and an academic voice (5) demonstrate the grammar and writing skills covered in previous weeks EXPERT: PLEASE SEE TABLE 2 BELOW AN EXAMPLE HOW YOU SHOULD ANSWER QUESTION 3 TABLE 2 (1) state one of your reasons in support of your thesis Employers tend to assume that someone with less skill in language and grammar might have less skill available for the job position. *(2) post a quote from one of the previously assigned readings that you will use as evidence for you reason John A. Challenger (2012) "Misspellings, poor syntax and grammatical mistakes typically result in a swift relegation to the "no" pile; the decision makers reason that the errors disclose either poor communication skills or an indifference toward details." *(3) paraphrase the quote and explain how the quote relates to your thesis and reason Companies often focus on the ability to communicate effectively with little to no grammar mistakes, and when this doesn't occur they often misjudge the applicants skill set in other important areas. (John A. Challenger, 2012) The quote relates to my thesis and reason because it describes the limitations that employers put on their applicants because of their weaker skill level in grammar and language. They aren't given the chance to display other skills that they may be strongly suited in, since those skills don't seem to have as much importance. It seems that employers typically only focus on one area and that hinders many applicants even though they may not have the resources or education to better their language and grammar.

Sample Quote Log Name Quote Log Social Issue: Education and Empowerment Topic: Education and Empowerment Thesis: Contrary to popular opinion, education does not always lead to empowerment. Reasons: (1) Everyone does not have access to a quality education. (2) Even with a quality education, lucrative employment opportunities are not guaranteed. (3) Educated individuals may still face discrimination and other inequities that limit opportunities for success. Entry #1 Source: Anyon, J. (2016). Social class and the hidden curriculum of work. In G. Columbo (Ed.), Rereading America: Cultural Contexts for Critical Thinking and Writing (10th ed.) (pp. 136-153). Bedford St. Martin’s. Quote: “Basil Bernstein, Pierre Bourdieu, and Michael W. Apple, focusing on school knowledge, have argued that knowledge and skills leading to social power and regard (medical, legal, managerial) are made available to the advantaged social groups but are withheld from the working classes, to whom a more 'practical curriculum' is offered (manual skills, clerical knowledge) ” (Anyon, 2016, p. 137). Paraphrase: Several researchers have pointed out that schools provide upper class students with the knowledge and skills needed for prestigious occupations. Such knowledge and skills are not given to students in the working class. Working class students are only provided with knowledge and skills for manual and clerical jobs (Anyon, 2016). Explanation of quote selection and connection: I selected this quote because it illustrates the difference in the quality of education students from various social class backgrounds receive. In order to get a high quality education that leads to well-paying jobs, you have to be a student from an upper class family. Without access to a quality education, it is impossible to have opportunities for success. Education will only empower those students who are lucky enough to receive a quality education.

Through education and hard work, anyone can achieve success. Imagine an individual who gets through K-12 schooling and then attends and successfully completes college. Many would see this individual as someone on the brink of empowerment. A college education is the ticket to a bright and fulfilling future, right? In reality, this college-educated individual enters the job market only to find that her degree from the local state college is not as desirable as the same degree from an Ivy League institution. She also finds that as a woman, employers consider her less qualified than her male peers. In light of this, her ability to make a comparable salary and to be promoted is limited. Contrary to popular opinion, education does not always lead to empowerment. Lack of access, limited employment opportunities, and potential discrimination can hinder the success of educated individuals. One reason that education does not always lead to empowerment is that everyone does not have access to a
