Building Block 3.1: Potential Genres Proposal

What I am going to hit on this is the part of what non-runners that do not run that often see as running and what they experience when they run. To show and relate what other people feel when non-running people feel when they do the thing that is dreaded the most. For this part I will show the data from my MA#2 and show how many people did not like running and why they didn’t run and why they didn’t see the need in it. I will show the data from other sites on why people do not run and why for some people running may not be the best cardio for some people.

For my second part pf my genre I will be hitting on why runners run show the data side and why I run with it. This will show sides or why runners do it for health benefits for certain people because there are many other types of cardio that can get you in shape. But I will show why the specific running health benefits of running helped my life and why they help many other peoples lives in the process.

MA#2 17blog post

Everything with this project I was not expecting I did not realize how much work I was going to be putting into this. This is just a field I am used to though because of being a runner and understanding how people feel when they run. I am used to people calling me crazy because I run and everything. So it didn’t hit me too hard understanding how everything was with running. 

I have learned how just flat out how people are affected by running mentality and how it can change their whole mood on life. How a lot of people set their whole schedules around it. Some people just do it for cardio and hate it and some people may not like it but it is a good workout so they do it. Iv noticed how some people if they had more time they would do it but they just feel like it just takes so much time in the day to do it so they choose to do another type of workout.

I didn’t realize how much I was going to have to put into a spreadsheet either which kinda sucked. That was a lot of time and just getting the interviews down and everything was a lot then coming up with questions that were good to ask in my interviews was a lot to think about things people could relate to. When coming up with the survey and everything that was a hard part because I had to make it easy for myself to take into account things and make sure that I would get good data from everything.

Blog post 16

We were told to watch Project Runway Season 16 Episode 9 this week and it was a very good episode in my opinion. We are comparing who we think that we are most like in this season and I think Right now I am most like Brandon. I dont know why I think its because out of all of the people he has so much talent and but sometimes he doesnt know what to do. He works well under presure.

When he is under the light he can get his stuff done even if he does not prepare the best out of everyone. He may not get everything right the first time and his stuff may be different but he gets it done and it looks good. That is how I kinda am I second guess myself and I just gotta make sure that everything when it needs to be. That is just how I am.

So for this major assignment I just need to make sure that I am on top of my stuff and don’t push back stuff to much. Make sure I don’t second guess myself and just do it and make sure that everything is what it needs to be so I wont be like Brandon in the show and have the judges come look at my work and have me restart half way through.

MA#2 research

For this assignment I am going to set up polls and ask questions on social media why people like and don’t like running. I will keep digging and seeing if answers match and see if they are contestant with what other people are saying.

Then the age range that I am going to be hitting is everyone really and people that follow my social media so an age range from 16-26 and older people that I know that run.

Iv interviewed my coach and she has given really good information on why she likes and what some things she doesn’t like around running.

After looking over the questions I was asking for my research I have deiced I should go more in depth with some questions and that I should do more interview type questions than polls but polls would be good. Iv had 60 people answer a poll and the results said that 23/60 liked running the other part they did not.

So most people do not like running that I am putting the poll on and that people I know that don’t like running but I just need to get into more why people don’t like running. Then see why the people who answered liked running why they like running. Some of the people who I’m going to get to answer more questions on why they don’t run and why they do run I will get more into it.

There’s a lot that goes into this because there’s so many reasons why people run and why people don’t run and I just need to dig into those reasons. There’s health reasons why people do and why people don’t and then their are reasons of people just being lazy and not wanting to run and people just doing other things to get exercise. I think I underestimated how much I had to dig into this and dig into health reasons and just people on why they want to and not want to run.

Research 14#

I have always been okay through my years of doing research papers and putting together what I need to come to a conclusion. I have always been pretty good at swaying people trying to see my with the things I gather and then show people all of it. When you are going to do a paper you need to as it says in the Hyland summary “making a suitable level of claim” That involves a good amount of information to make everything into one.

In your paper and everything you need to be able to site your sources and make sure that it is good. Then make sure that you are not claiming other peoples work as your own and doing to that you are making so that everything sounds professional enough for what you are making the paper for. You need to make sure that you have professional opinions and hard facts then you can add non-professional opinions. The biggest thing with everything in research is just making sure that everything is viable information.

Blog post 13 interview

So for the person that I will be interviewing is my high school cross country and track and field coach. She is a person that I would know for a fact that would be good to interview for this major assignment. She has gone through a lot with running and her life is based off of running. She has gone through very highs with running and a lot of lows. She is a person that has coached for over a decade now and she has been running her whole life.

I will be asking her why she likes to run. Then I will be asking her what she does not like about running. Then ask her what running does for her and why she does it. What has running done for her over the years and how it has effected her life overtime. Then I will ask why she coaches kids and what she thinks running does for their lives and her. Their are so many questions to ask and more but that is the main points I am going to hit on when I am asking questions for this assignment.

I am going to use for my observations is taking surveys through survey monkey and putting it on social media for people to take on questions on having to do with why they don’t or do like running. Then I will be taking real life surveys on why people do or don’t like running.

Innovating #12

This week we were to read and watch two things ones was of course project runway and the episode was the 7th one of the season then the next thing was to read and talk about and what we took away from “Where Good Ideas Come from”-Steven Johnson. This week the runway challenge was for JCPenney men’s section and some of the designers were not the most thrilled by this and I can kinda understand they haven’t really been hitting this ally the whole season.

Then we had to read from “Where Good Ideas Come from”-Steven Johnson and one of the main thing that I took from everything was the chart that I saw that had in it “Ideas,work spaces,organizations,settlements,information networks,culture. That was the biological scale for culture and that is how I see it with this show. You have to work with the culture of the show and be fit towards the audience. You have be in your workplace and have good ideas be organized and have your network to be successful.

The desginers got to work in pairs and some were doing more well than others and I could tell that this was going to be a bumpy ride for some of them and some others its was not going to be that bumpy. Brandon and Kentaro were the ones I was not that worried about and they worked through everything pretty well and I did like their fit at the end of of it all they put their heads together and killed it.

Then with the twins they are just sometimes hard to watch and I just don’t like watching them at some points. They are a lot and they like just being all over the place and sometimes just seem irrational. They can communicate with each other but I can tell when the other designers get annoyed with them and it can be quite amusing to see other people not enjoy their presence. When I watch some people and I feel like I am beating at a dead horse when I say this but some people just take criticism better than others. At the end of the day you are on this show to learn and be better designers, If you can not take criticism you will not be able to succeed. When you fail in this show you have to learn from your bad Ideas because no one just wins over and over again. The best and most successful people fail. That is where your inactivation comes from that is where your good ideas come from your failures.

Off Duty #11

For this weeks prompt 10

This week for the prompt we were given to go over one of the parts of element of rhetorical situation. We were to watch another episode of project runway to go over and the main theme was “Models off duty”. This is what the models wanted to wear off duty because just because you are off the clock doesn’t mean people still aren’t watching you.

This is a pretty hard thing to do because you are having to base what you make off of really what your model wants. That will give some people more range than others in my head. You should have to make it comfortable for them and stylish at the same time that is pretty hard. There are always going to be the good group of designers that make it well in it. Then there are always the ones that will struggle with this, it is very nice seeing the range that the designers have.

During it all I was worried about Samantha’s I noticed that she is good but sometimes she does not always just go by everything that is supposed to be done. You have to protean to your audience. It doesn’t seem like she always does that Kentaro was kind of a surprise because of how good it was. I was very surprised did everything that was supposed to be done and worked with the model well and put in a good designers style. That is what you have to do over and over again just listen to criticism and work with what you got at a good under presser rate.

“I call “compound” rhetorical situations-discussions of a single subject by
multiple rhetors and audience”-(Grant Davies, 265) The rhetoric’s and the designers are the creators and they are looking for their audience and they are the models and judges. You have to get through everything to please the judges and to win over the audience.

So for this we read about exigence and were also doing academic research and I feel like these would be the easiest for me to compare. Exigence is one of the more things that we use in rehtorical writting and is an important part to. Then they way we do our research on things is very important to. That is how we look things up and look into things on a daily basis when we do homework or just writing a paper.

The way that I can compare these two is by my daily life. When I am doing homework I have a way to help me look up things to make sure its right. The first thing Ill do is just first and foremost just go thought the text book that is given on the subject. That is always going to be the main choice. Then if I cant find it in a text book I am of course going to look for it online. Then If I see why they are saying what they are saying if the answer is write and why it is right. The way they are addressing the subject I have to look at and just make sure that it is correct information.

So the way I look at everything is that when you are reaching just for homework or just say you are even looking up to go eat somewhere. You are going to look up the reviews on the place do some research and see how they are talking about it in the comments and just how they talk about it. You want to really see the tone they are using in the writing of it all.
