Throughout this semester our class has done a variety of course journals that used different content learning outcomes such as engaging in the process of citizen leadership by investigating multiple perspectives on important public issues. Also, understanding the nature of public discourse and debate as determined by purpose, audience, and context. The journals we did in class were Terministic Screens on sexist talk, Rhetoric of Hitler’s Battle, and Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience. For this assignment I read the different articles and answered the required questions by using notes from class and formed my own assessment from my reading. The journals had me investigate difficult concepts that I did not understand at first such as terministic screens and rhetoric. I now know that terministic screen is the criticism of rhetoric. The different texts were engaging as it was about history and public issues that were of interest to me as I liked studying the World War Two era and as a women sexist talk is something that many females experience and it was interesting to learn about how different titles or descriptions are expressed such as a women is divorced and a man gets divorced. After reading and interpreting the material in a journal entry we then discussed thoroughly in class our opinions on each journal which had us investigate different perspectives.
