Darcy L Gray, Rosaline Canessa, Rick Rollins, Peter Keller, and Phillip Dearden present "Incorporating Recreational Users into Marine Protected Area Planning: A Study of Recreational Boating in British Columbia, Canada" in order to assert that different people and their needs coincide with the time at which they boat as well as their boating locations. They present this in order to give reason to certain profit rises at certain times as well as certain activity occurring more often at certain locations. The "Recreation Opportunity Spectrum" helps to determine many of these factors. The information was presented very statistically and factually to a higher educated audience involved specifically on this subject.

Ronald J Sutherland's "A Regional Approach to Estimating Recreation Benefits of Improved Water Quality" journal article asserts that the amount of recreation influences the amount of revenue brought in especially when judging whether a water source is "fishable and swimmable." He presents this in order to show the importance of the method of involvement of water and the functionality of water and the possible recreational activities involved with it. This information is presented very straight forwardly and factually yet still appealing to a general audience.

In John R. Stoll, John C. Bergstrom, and Lonnie L. Jones' "Recreational  Boating and its Economic Impact on Texas" article, they assert that recreational boating as a whole is greatly influential on the Texas economy throughout the entire state of Texas. This recreational boating provided for "10270 man-years of employment" as well as "had a total output of over $610 million." They do this in order to provide evidence as to why the activity of recreational boating is so significant. This information was presented in a statistical manner to a well educated audience.

David Palazzi's "The Economic Importance of Recreational Boating in Oregon" anylization, he asserts that the recreational boating in Oregon provides for income for businesses associated with recreational boating as well as provides for certain taxes to maintain the boating areas. He specifies that the recreational activity of boating provides money for "employment, taxes, and payroll" for the associations involved with this recreational activity. He presents this information in order to display the importance that boating has economically for the reservoirs and water locations in Oregon. He uses a very straight forward tone but is not completely factual when explaining the importance of recreational boating.

Aaron J. Douglas and David A.Harpman's article "Estimating Recreation Employment Effects with IMPLAN for the Glann Canyon Dam Region," they assert that recreational activity is beneficial to allow for the increase in job opportunities. They believe that this will specifically improve "Lee's Ferry site on the Colorado River." They presented this information in order to portray the idea that hosting recreational activities will cause more opening businesses and therefore an increase in number of jobs. This information was presented in a formal and informational way but it did so with an appeal to the general public.

Anthony J. Fedler and Robert B. Ditton's article "Developing a National Outreach Strategy for Recreational Fishing and Boating" asserts that by developing a process in which to entice recreational boaters and fishers to a certain area, they are able to heighten activity. They did this to discover many economic situations, perceived views, and facility knowledge that the public possessed. This was presented in order to allow the public to become aware of the "need for aquatic resource conservation." The information was presented in a factual manner but was more casually stated in order to entice the general public.

Hee-Chan Lee's article "Determinates of Recreational Boater Expenditures on Trips" asserts that the cost of automobile fuel, food, traveling items etc. effect the amount that each company profits from the expenses associated with recreational boating. He uses a "1998 Michigan boating survey" as an example of how all the costs are all associated with the recreational boating. This is presented in order to give reason to why certain companies have a higher income due to their quality and location relative to the recreational boating locations. He presents the information in a very orderly and factual way in order to present strictly the information.

 Ulrike Bergmann-Baker, Janet Brotton, and Geoffrey Wall's journal article "Socio-Economic Impacts of Fluctuating Water Levels on Recreational Boating in the Great Lakes," asserts that the water levels of the great lakes greatly affect the economy of the lakes due to the lack of activity because of the transitioning water levels. They present the fact that the "International Joint Commissions" survey of regular lake visitors displayed that the"effects of the water level fluctuating on recreational boating "effects the lakes economic stand point. They presented this in order to explain the importance recreational boating serves for the economic stability of the Great Lakes. The tone of the journal article was sophisticated and presented with much factual support as if to speak to an audience of great power and or the ability to make important decisions.

Declaration: Recreational boating contributes beneficially to the economy and development of multiple companies involved with reservoirs.

Reasons:

-many marinas main source of revenue is from boat owners whether it be from paying for a boat space or paying to boat/fill the boats with gas.

- boating gives profit to multiple companies such as the companies selling products at the marinas, gas companies for the fuel for the boats, and state revenue due to the fact that the reservoirs are state run

-even the distance traveled to reservoirs results in profits for the fuel companies mainly, but includes many other companies including fishing companies and general goods stores

-organizations have held fundraisers as well as awareness programs to help inform people about the benefits of boating and fish regulation while also finding out the reasons as to why more people do not boat recreationally

-boating allows fishing which in turn provides more revenue due to the cost of fishing licenses as well as fishing supplies

-due to the amount of recreational boating, additional economic support is provided through the ownership of property near the reservoirs due to the high activity of the boating activity

-jobs are created due to the amount of boating that occurs as well as the number of establishments that are created in order to assist or benefit the recreational boaters

Rhetorical précis on boating

In LJ Panloza's "Boater Attitudes and Experiences," he asserts that most boaters on average are 50 years of age and tend to fish as their chosen ideal boating activity. He presents the idea that boating is done For mainly "excitement and stimulation." This survey was taken to determine what the average boater did as an activity while driving a boat. There was also evidence that some boaters were intoxicated while operating the boats and therefore water law enforcement has been required to be more concerned with the drinking habits of boaters. He presents all these facts in order to provide reasons as to why water law enforcement at need to be more populated in the water as well as giving a reason as to why boating is popular due to its excitement and stimulating affects. He uses a very sophisticated lawful tone due to the fact that he had taken this survey under legislative circumstances.

Rhetorical Precis Chapter 7

In Lester Faigley's "Putting Good Reasons into Action" chapter, he asserts that there is a purpose in every writers head when preparing to enter into an argument of any sort and that every argument should have a valid point. He supports this idea with a real life situation in which "check points" are argued to be constitutional or an invasion of privacy. Faigley's purpose for writing this was to inform the readers, and future writers, that there needs to be an extensive, solid reason in order to produce an affective argument. His tone presents that casualty of this example, but is affective in explaining the idea of a well constructed purpose behind an argument.

Rhetorical Precis Chapter 4

In Lester Faigley’s “Drafting and Revising Arguments” chapter, he presents that a good piece of writing or a good argument has a very strong structural organization and that revising and improvement is necessary in being thorough. He displays the idea that each writer needs to “think about the readers” and determine how much information is known and what information needs to be presented. He presents specific steps as well as explains in detail about necessary clarity in order to allow writers to develop a well-written paper. He uses a very explanatory, basic voice as if talking to a class about how to write a well-developed paper.

Response to The Chillin' Effect of Section 506: The Battle

The ideas in this paper are there to prevent plagiarism from occurring. The use of comparing "the quote of a rapper with that of a lawyer" raises question about why one is in the right and one is in the wrong. I think personally that sampling certain amounts of music should be allowable but only if credit is given within the produced material. For example, say a rapper wants to take a beat from "Ice Ice Baby." This rapper needs to credit MC Hammer and his producers for that sample somewhere on his produced work. I don't think he needs to dedicate any type of credit to him in his actual work but there needs some sort of contribution on the actual album cover. This article presents the development of the rules in which sampling and the development of music has to follow. It astonished me that the development of these type of rules began so long ago in the year of 1790 with the first federal copyright act. I was impressed by how persistant the improvements of the rules were overtime. Multiple Acts have been passed regarding the sampling an ddistribution of music including the Sound Rcording Act as well as the No Electronic Theft Act. I believe overall that the different developments over the time span of three centuries has allowed for the music industry to evolve. There are still controversies over which songs created from the use of sampling are infinging on copyrights or not. These problems are slowly being solved overtime and improvements and updates are sure to be made to further this progress in the future.

Rhetorical Precis- music plagiarism

Ronald Gaither's " The Chillin' Effect of Section 506: The Battle," presents that there is a fine line between improving an artist's work and taking credit for it. He also displays the idea that music and social improvements wouldn't occur if music was not improved and passed on throughout the generations. He supports his claim through presenting the history of the development of the "Sound Recording Act of 1971," as well as a developing "mens rea," that both help provide the guidelines in which music can be developed and transferred. He intends to present the ideas about what is and what isn't considered plagiaristic in the subject of music. He speaks in a very orderly, lawful tone, presenting the facts and developments as if they were presented in a case to an educated audience.

Good Reasons Precis

In Lester Faigley's chapter "Reading Arguments,"  he identifies that controversies surround major issues and causes and identifying both sides of the issue is extremely significant in presenting an argument. Faigley provides evidence for the idea by breaking down how to "read critically" and what questions to ask yourself when you are developing your argument. His purpose was to break down the steps and processes it takes to develop an argument in order to make it purposeful and well developed. He writes to an audience that is mature in nature but at the same time are developing writing skills.

In Lester Faigley's chapter "Finding Arguments," he presents the idea that finding an argument takes close review of a piece of writing, identifying what kind of argument it was, and breaking down the argument in order to figure out the main subject of it. Faigley provides examples of arguments as well as uses defined terms to identify what type of things should be looked for. His purpose in writing this chapter was to provide for ways to identify arguments and the key elements of each type of argument. He speaks to an audience that appear to be developing writers, similar to that of chapter two. 

plagiarism and the heisting of another's work

•   The discussion begins with digital technology and the idea of whether sampling pieces of individual songs is plagiaristic or copyright infringement. The idea is that everyone is considered a digital producer. individuals use samples all the time to create new creations. The official question posed, "Is taking snippets from other people's produced songs with copyright protections considered copyrighting?" Multiple people will take multiple clips from various songs and place them together in an entirely new formation. The debate was whether is would be considered as going against the rights of those who originally created the songs. This sampling is looked at as being essential for social culture and creating various connections among different communities. Another big question asked was whether the artists should be compensated for the sampling that the public is doing. The copyright argument is that it protects the whole song all inclusive. The courts agree that you can indeed "own" a sounds and therefore claim it as your own. The argument against that idea is that you need to get critiqued and the only way to do that is for someone to take the music and or play around with it a little and see how well it works. The biggest support for sampling is the fact that if music is not passed around and shared and modified than no one would have anything to listen to. Producers would not be able to produce new material if they could not modify old material or even get ideas from the older songs. This even helps unknown artists get their music out into the public, even if they are not making money off of it. Infringement can be anywhere from sampling one note of a song to completely copying an entire song and changing two of the words. Overall there is major hesitation about sampling and the rules that it must follow to allow for the artists, producers, and public to be happy. 
• The question that educational institutions pose all the time, "Is using an online source of information without siting the author because it doesn't have one considered plagiarism?" Many professors are puzzled as to why various students decide to plagiarize others work. It is so wide that laziness cannot be the only reason as to why there is so much plagiarism occurring. 40% of 14000 undergraduates copy a few sentences. They are not copying the whole paper but seem to only be adding a few non-cited thoughts into their papers. Suzan D. Blum was extremely curious as to why there was so much plagiarism occurring. A young german woman, Helene Hegemann, believes that "there is no such thing as originality, just authenticity." Most people consider plagiarism to be a lazy way to complete something rather than because someone does not understand something fully. The main reason that was found was that students were not being prepared enough in high school for the level of intensity of college work and therefore only thought to plagiarize. The plagiarism roots from being unprepared and not being able to do work.
