Analysis Of The Article Ready, Fire, Aim, The College...

Journalist, and professor of higher education emeritus at the University of Maryland, College Park, Robert Birnbaum wrote the article â€Å"Ready, Fire, Aim, The College Campus Gun Fight† in which he writes about two sides which he defines as â€Å"MoreGuns† and â€Å"BanGuns† and if one sides argument holds more truth as to whether guns on campus is a positive or negative reality. The article comes from a magazine called Change Magazine. Change Magazine focuses on the modern issues that arise in higher learning. The purpose of the magazine is to inform the readers and stimulate thinking. He reaches audiences on both sides of the argument by adopting a mostly non-emotional, and logical tone that will connect with his readers using facts. Birnbaum builds trust with the reader by being respectful to both sides of the arguments and presenting facts for both sides, at first he appears to be in the middle of the issue, but then as the article continues he shows his fa vored stance on the legal side by referencing the constitution which increases the strength of his argument. Should guns be allowed on campus in any form? Birnbaum tries to answer this question by addressing the MoreGuns and the BanGuns sides. Birnbaum does a good job of presenting the facts and statistics then talking about them. There are no major biases as the only conclusion the he comes to is that â€Å"the country is filled with guns, guns exist on college campuses, and there doesn’t appear to be much that can be done toShow MoreRelated_x000C_Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis355457 Words   |  1422 Pagesto Statistics and Data Analysis This page intentionally left blank Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis Third Edition Roxy Peck California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Chris Olsen George Washington High School, Cedar Rapids, IA Jay Devore California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Australia †¢ Brazil †¢ Canada †¢ Mexico †¢ Singapore †¢ Spain †¢ United Kingdom †¢ United States Introduction to Statistics and Data Analysis, Third Edition Roxy PeckRead MoreMonsanto: Better Living Through Genetic Engineering96204 Words   |  385 Pages441 441 CASE STUDIES A summary of the case analysis I N T R O D U C T I O N Preparing an effective case analysis: The full story Hearing with the aid of implanted technology: The case of Cochlearâ„ ¢ – an Australian C A S E O N E high-technology leader Delta Faucet: Global entrepreneurship in an emerging market C A S E T W O DaimlerChrysler: Corporate governance dynamics in a global company C A S E T H R E E Gunns and the greens: Governance issues in Tasmania C A S E F O U R Succeeding in theRead MoreFundamentals of Hrm263904 Words   |  1056 Pagesfrom an experienced student user Ask your local representative for details!
