Thursday Assignment

My research for Core 4 is an argument of definition and fact. It is both because I am using research from people’s personal opinion and also from straight up facts and numbers. In the Lundsford book, it talks about how factual arguments need hard facts and visuals, while in an argument of definition it is more about who has the passion to argue for it. The book also states that in an argument of definition it is also about people’s opinions and how they start with a claim. In The article by John M. Barrie, he talks about how “25 million users of the World Wide Web”. He uses other statistics when talking about how many people use “Cheater.com claims to have over 30,000 members and adds approximately 100 new essays to its database each week". In the article by UNK, they give the definition to what copyrighting is and what is protected by it. However, in my other articles such as by Poynder and York, they use personal opinions. In the Poynder article it talks about "Aleksandar Skocajic, a Belgrade, Serbia-based mechanic with Telekom Serbia, for the last 8 years, believes that Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Studios, and Walt Disney's Touchstone Pictures all acquired plagiarized versions of "Magma Town" ("Volcano of Death"), a screenplay he wrote in 1994". In the York article, he talks about if the script is not copyrighted it is fair game. Moreover, by having these two sides to the argument I think it will help make my Core 4 better well rounded.
