Kairos Days Kairos, in rhetorical theory, is defined as an adaptation of a discourse to a given moment in time. For our current political moment, this will mean a reflection and response to events and controversies that now, thanks to digital and social media, move at lightning speed. On the day of (Tues or Thurs) I will post a topical prompt (based on a reading and/or current issue surrounding politics and media) under the heading Kairos day #1, Kairos day #2, and so forth. The goal will be 300 words, and due the next day (to approximate in-class writing). Spend about 30-60 minutes on this, focusing mostly on substance. Ive based these on local, national, and international issues in the past, and I will plan to integrate our reading material and course content into the prompts, as this will help you demonstrate another form of participation. Im also happy to receive topic suggestions that fit with the class via email!

Kairos Day #4 prompt:

Responding to the following article (email me if you are out of free articles from the atlantic!), consider the role of college “life” vs. college education (and feel free to use examples from and/or critique the article itself, as well as from the context and rhetorical situation of DU as a campus itself); if you want, you can also consider the role that writing plays in this moment of having college “life” play out very differently for you this year.

USDA ERS Special Outlook Article on Fresh-Market Limes

October 28, 2020 Leave a comment Health Care and Life Sciences, MLA

Recall last week one of the assignment questions was about how US lime production, consumption, and imports have changed over time. If you looked at the data closely, you might have noticed that domestic lime production plummeted right while consumption of limes was skyrocketing. What would cause this to happen? If you read the footnotes in the food availability spreadsheet, they give some clue – Hurricane Andrew in 1992 didn’t help the industry. But the story is more complicated.

While focusing on just a single crop, the article highlights the myriad ways in which different aspects of the food system are intrinsically linked. Some of the aspects the article touches on are crop physiology and disease, culinary trends and cultural preferences, land use pressures, geography and climate, international trade, economics and pricing, storage logistics, and processing.

Based on the reading, select three examples of places where multiple factors intersect to influence the characteristics and behavior of the lime industry. For each, use one factor as an ‘entry point’ and then expand to others that intersect. Two to three sentences per example should be sufficient. Complete the assignment by uploading or entering your three examples of intersections in the text box.

For example: Infrastructure – Limited cold storage in Mexico favors heavier domestic use of key limes, which have a longer shelf life. Key limes also tend to be prefered in Mexican cuisine. Here we see the interrelationships between refrigeration infrastructure, culinary preferences, and crop variety features including fruit flavor and storage capacity (you could also go on to include climate and growing regions).

Hi, Write an essay in which you argue for or against the power of satire (historically and in our modern culture). Use the readings (I upload to you) to support your argument. Use a small amount of research to support your argument.

1. While this essay does utilize literary analysis, it is not the main focus. Your argument should be making a claim regarding whether satire is important or not (and for what reason)

2. This is a formal essay, so there should be no I statements

3.You should be looking at the larger picture of satire through time.
In order to do this, you will need to do some research into the use of satire.
This research will mainly consist of secondary sources (sources analyzing satirical pieces) as well as sources that focus on defining satire and its importance.

4. Follow MLA formatting guidelines

Swift’s “A Modest proposal” and international trade

October 28, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Economics

“Annotated Bibliography” document is the bibliography instructions
“Annette’s Annotated Bibliography” document is the professor’s sample
My economic essay topic is international trade so I hope all the sources will support this topic. my economic essay is related to swift’s essay ” a modest proposal” so the bibliography sources must use for my future economic essay.
