ENGL 112 Perspective Prewriting with Perspective Summary Week 5 DeVry
Your assignment this week asks you to choose your Commentary topic, issue, and angle, and to begin understanding how your own position fits into the larger conversation. To accomplish this overall goal, you’ll need to begin by reviewing viable topics, listening to the conversations surrounding them, and ultimately determining which topic is most fitting for the assignment needs.
What is your chosen topic, and how did you come across it? Why is it interesting to you? What do you personally hope to gain or accomplish by writing about this topic?
The topic I choose is about billionaires and how they are perceived by the people. I find this topic interesting because I think that billionaires are sometimes being prejudged because of the comfortable and prosperous lives they live when almost everyone else is experiencing economic difficulties. I think that in this sense, prejudice is not directed only towards the “underdogs”, but rather, everyone can be subjected to prejudice. This topic first got my attention when the Occupy Wall Street protest occurred a few years ago where people voiced their sentiments about how the country’s wealth is being held by only one percent of the country’s population (Klein, 2011). News about it was all over the television, newspapers, and the Internet at the time.
