Proposal

My topic of choice is "Breastfeeding in Public"
Not sure if this too broad of a topic, however I feel I’ill enjoy exploring primary sources which appeal to the argument. I intend on finding these pieces of work possibly via:
-Web sites for new mothers/parenting.
-Advocacy sites pro breast feeding or against it
-Family parenting newsletters, magazines, pamphlets…
-Web forums and blogs for families, mothers, physicians...
-Hospital--> Waiting rooms, web pages, pediatrics physicians
-Google--> Breastfeeding

With many options I don’t think I will have a problem getting my hands on three primary sources. This topic appeals to me because I know there are many opinions out there for new mothers and it will be interesting to pick apart each claim whether it’s a publication from companies or physicians or graphic images. Also considering my major is child psychology and sociology I think this assignment will challenge me to look at my two concentrations in a different light (Families and society).

In Class: Missed Class

I missed class last Thursday and i feel terribly left out. :-( i was sick and could not stop coughing, you would probably have kicked me out of my class for disturbances. I wish i could have enjoyed the field trip we took outside of winton scott, its a shame. Any who i think my topic is a good one and at the moment i am reading the chapters and learning more about rhetorical analysis. I think my classmates would argee that my topic is a challenging one and end the end worth all the research.
