In an article titled ““Building a mystery”: Alternative research writing and the Academic Act of Seeking” by Robert Davis and Mark Shadle, research writing is explained how it is important and why it can be disrespected. Davis and Shadle use ways of reaching out to the reader and also use different points of view. To explain each point of view they include passages from different researchers and writers.…
Writing in the English discipline compares to writing outside of the academic setting in that writing in “the real world” consists of book reviews, news articles, journalism, conference presentations, blogging, etc. Writing in the English discipline usually allows the writer to write more freely and explain his/her own ideas. For example, if one were to become a book reviewer or a journalist, he/she would be expected to address their opinion. However, if one were to become a current event columnist, he/she would be expected to strictly jot down the facts.…
In addition, not everyone agrees that technology has a positive impact on writing. In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” (2008), Nicholas Carr argues that the easy accessibility of information on the Internet doesn’t benefit people much. Carr believes this because the information provided on the Internet does not require much effort to look up, which affects the ways we read, think, and write on certain subjects (Carr) It is not always true. In the article “Studies Explore Whether the Internet Makes Students Better Writers” (2009), he reports on findings to determine whether or not technology has a positive effect on student writing. He quotes Stanford student, Mr. Otuteye and his belief on the effect of technology on student writing.…
Writing was developed for communication among the people of the civilization and possibly other countries. The development of writing was crucial in a civilized society because without it, there would be no communication between the people. It was also developed to keep records of important events and things. Some that have been found today, are used to study the past of the civilizations. With the development of writing, it has left a big impact for the people of the past, present, and future.…

The most vivid memory I have of writing is back in the tenth grade. I had the best teacher ever in regards to writing. I used to view writing as a senseless waste of time. Writing, in my opinion, at the time was always noted to be formal and boring; however, my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Perez, changed my whole perception of writing and how it affects humanity. One day after class she pulled me aside and recommended a book known as, “His Dark Materials,” which is about a young girl who, with her allies, fought for the discovery of a dark substance called the “Dust.” The book single handedly altered my mental picture of writing and creativity. Writing can be about anything in the universe, and the possibilities are endless. The main point, however, which ties everything together, is imagination. One’s imagination can truly be defined as infinite to the power of infinite, because it contains numerous amounts of details and features on life and the world itself. How does this tie to writing one may ask. Well an elaborate imagination helps to create an elaborate piece of writing. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”…

We can probably show that Brett arrested Jane. Arrest is an element of false imprisonment. Arrest means confinement against one’s will. An arrest can be affected through physical constraint as well as through personal coercion (its equivalent). When a store employee detains something of value that a reasonable patron would not leave without, the patron has been coerced and thus arrested. In this case, because Brett took Jane’s dog (something no reasonable person would leave behind), Jane was likely arrested.…

Earning better grades and improved critical thinking skills are just two benefits that come from improving my ability to write.…
The importance of writing, both academically and professionally is to be able to communicate your thoughts properly to everyone whom you communicate with. I believe being able to write academically give you the foundation in which you are going to use when you write professionally. When you write professionally its important to be able to communicate to co-workers as well as potential clients. I feel they are both important in the sense they help you communicate to your peers, colleagues and everyone else in an effective manner through email, letters and corporate memos.…

But why do we even bother with writing? Why is it so relevant to everyday life? Writing is the base to the pyramid of life - it’s the stepping stool and starting grounds to becoming a successful person. Writing is the base to learning experiences that are found in your education, community and work. Writing does more than just that though. It defines you as a person by expressing who you are, allowing you to write your thoughts and ideas down on paper to be argued and explained to another at a later time. In addition, writing is an essential job skill in which it contributes to…
