ENG 106 English Composition II Entire Course
ENG 106 Topic 1 DQ 1
In the argument chapter, you learned about expressed arguments (overt
arguments attempting to persuade the audience towards a point of view)
and implied arguments(arguments
that appear on the surface not to be arguments but actually seek to persuade
the audience of a point of view or views). For this DQ, provide a specific
example from the media of an expressed argument and an implied argument
and answer the following questions:
·
What is the expressed argument you identified? What specific
argument does the author make? What evidence does the author use to support his
or her claims?
·
What is the implied argument you identified? What specific
argument does the author make? What evidence does the author use to support his
or her claims?
·
Why is it important to understand expressed and implied
arguments?
·
How might you use your understanding of expressed and implied
arguments when drafting your first essay in this course?
Note: You may use visual arguments such as photos and pictures,
but you will still need to explain your rationale for why you believe the
author is making a specific argument.
Be sure to cite all sources used to compose your answer. Format
your in-text citations and reference list entry according to GCU Style.
ENG 106 Topic 1 DQ 2
Please review the following video Writing Process about writing introductory
paragraphs and thesis statements, with particular focus on Section One:
Organizing the College Essay. Note: This link works best in the Google Chrome
browser.
For the first essay, you will be writing a definition essay
about a term related to organ sales or donations. Please share your current
thesis statement for your definition essay. Here is a sample thesis statement
for the definition essay:
Organ sales in the United States would be unethical because they
exploit the poor, favor the rich, and create an unfair or black market organ
lottery.
During the week, respond to your classmates with constructive
feedback about their thesis statements. You may consider revising your own
thesis statement after receiving feedback from your peers.

ENG 106 Topic 2 DQ 1
Read “Legalizing the Organ Trade?” by Ritter, located on the
Time website (copy and paste the link into the URL).
As noted in Peter Ritter’s (2008), “Legalizing the Organ Trade?”,
Singapore’s health minister, Khaw Boon Wan, argued that, “We may be able to
find an acceptable way to allow a meaningful compensation for some living,
unrelated kidney donors, without breaching ethical principles or hurting the
sensitivities of others” (para. 2). In the definition essay assignment, you are
asked to select a term, define the term, and offer evidence to support your
definition of the term.
In this case, imagine you have selected the term meaningful compensation to
define. You might ask yourself: What constitutes meaningful compensation for an
organ donor, especially if the donor is poor and the recipient is wealthy? What
examples of human organ sales can I find that match or do not match your
definition of meaningful compensation? What other terms related to organ sales
and donation would be suitable for an argument of definition?
ENG 106 Topic 2 DQ 2
In the Aristotelian or Classical Framework for argument, a
writer might target an audience of readers that is undecided or neutral about
the main claim (thesis statement) of the essay. A section is placed directly
before the conclusion for acknowledging opposing viewpoints. Then the writer
chooses to concede or refute that view.
Why does the writer not want to spend much time on an opposing
viewpoint? Why mention that viewpoint at all? How might a concession help or
hinder the main claim of the essay (the thesis)? What are some opposing
viewpoints you might include in your definition essay?
ENG 106 Topic 3 DQ 1
Recall your readings in Topic 1 regarding human organ donation
and sales. In the article, “Kidney Shortage Inspires A Radical Idea: Organ
Sales,”
Dr. Francis Delmonico believes that even a regulated human organ
trade would be exploitative because “it’s the poor person who sells” (Meckler,
2007). Answer the following questions:
·
Do you agree that allowing a poor person to sell an organ is an
exploitative practice? Why or why not?
·
What documented examples from real-life organ donors can you
provide to help you demonstrate how a regulated human organ trade would (or
would not) be exploitative?
·
If you were writing your definition essay on the term exploitative, how would you
define it?
You may revisit the Human Organ Donation and Sale Resource List
from Topic 1 for resources. Be sure to cite all sources used to compose your
answer. Format your in-text citations and reference list entry according to GCU
Style.
ENG 106 Topic 3 DQ 2
Chapter 2 of the textbook discusses two scenarios in which
evidence may not meet some audience’s expectations. In the first scenario, two
scientific studies are in conflict with each other In the second scenario, a
child psychiatrist uses stories from his patients rather than statistics as
evidence. Each case poses a problem regarding the use of evidence: We sometimes
have difficulty reconciling conflicting pieces of evidence, and we are
reluctant to see stories, rather than statistics, as valid evidence. In the
essay that you are writing right now, what kinds of evidence have you found? In
what way might it meet an audience’s expectations? Name the audience, discuss
how it may meet–or not meet–the audience’s expectations, and explain why. Later
in the week, compare your observations about evidence with those of your
classmates.

ENG 106 Topic 4 DQ 1
To help you prepare for your Cause and Effect essay on donating
or selling organs, brainstorm general topics of interest and conduct an online
inquiry as to possible causes and effects.
For example, you might have an interest on the effect of social
media on children younger than thirteen years of age. You research young
children in their tweens and discover that these individuals are more readily
exposed to online interactive groups, such as Facebook, Twitter, or Web pages
themed to attract a younger audience; this creates a root cause with the effect
of having a large social network of friends.
This result becomes a new cause that leads to the effect of
stronger Web-based communication skills, which leads to intuitive and
up-to-date technology skills. This result leads to overuse of or possible
Internet obsession, which results in decreased participation of afterschool
activities, such as sports or music groups. This result leads to lack of focus
on homework and a significant drop in academic performance, which results in
poor quality of student work. The result is repeating the same grade level.
Now, create your own cause-effect chain based on your online
inquiry. Make sure the cause-effect chain is logical, plausible, and realistic.
Be sure to cite all sources used to compose your answer. Format
your in-text citations and reference list entry according to GCU Style.
ENG 106 Topic 4 DQ 2
We are continuing to work towards our Cause and Effect essay on
donating or selling organs. Watch the local news or go online and read news as
presented through CNN, Google, or MSN News. Choose a current story or news
event of interest. Create a list of causes for the story or event. Discuss at
least three “whys” (the causes) that led to the event and three projected
plausible results (the effects) from the event. Your reply should discuss a
total of three causes and three effects. Support each cause and result with an
explanation.
Be sure to cite all sources used to compose your answer. Format
your in-text citations and reference list entry according to GCU Style.

ENG 106 Topic 5 DQ 1
As you have learned from this week’s readings, a cause-effect
chain argues that one thing leads to another (e.g., “Increasing levels of
acidity in sea water are harming the oceans’ coral reefs.”). A causal cause and
effect chain links causal claims together as links in a chain. Remember your
argument is only as strong as the weakest link in your chain.
Summarize the causal cause and effect chain used by the writer
in the article from The New
York Times. Was the argument persuasive? Why or why not?
·
What has caused the growth of the illegal sale of human organs
in some countries, a concept unthinkable 100 years ago?
·
What has caused the growth of selling human organs on the black
market?
·
What are the causes you have identified and will write about in
your draft?
·
What are the effects you have identified and will write about in
your draft?
ENG 106 Topic 5 DQ 2
There is common wisdom that states, “Correlation is not
causation.” Explain in your own words what this phrase means. Now, read the current
draft of your cause and effect essay. Consider how you might revise your essay
in light of this saying. Describe what revisions you might need to make to your
essay to ensure that your argument is logical, plausible, and realistic and
does not present an argument that is illogical, far-reaching, or unrealistic.

skeptical audience. Refer to Chapter 7 in the textbook for additional
information on rebuttals.
ENG 106 Topic 6 DQ 2
To whom will you address your proposal? This person (or group)
will be skeptical of your views. Will it be a friend or family member with
different beliefs and values related to health care and/or the human body? Are
there individuals in the medical community who hold different values than you
do? How about a politician or media figure?
What are their views on the issue of selling human organs, and
what do they think should be done about it? Summarize the views of your
skeptical audience as fairly and accurately as possible.
During the week, review your classmates’ summaries of their
skeptical audiences’ views. Constructively offer feedback on their summaries.
