As I Reflect...

I thought I should just throw in a reflection of the class. One thing that stood prominently in my mind as I showered 7am this morning (hey, the best thinking goes on in a bathroom) is that I still feel the way I do about reader-based vs. writer-based writing, as I should since my ideas are mine to own. But, what I have come to conclude is that writing in a reader-based style is simply another form of rhetoric. I'm going to coin a term here, so pay close attention:

Socio-rhetorism

I use the term as a concept in which people write according to what they think would persuade their readers about their writing according to the context of their societal means. Thanks all folks! I will not be persuaded and I encourage all the open their eyes and understand why I believe what I do. If not, it's a shame, but then again, you are simply doing what you are meant to: Be a product of your society...
