In the article, “Doctor Group Wants Pot Legal,” Anthony York (Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, CA)) informs readers about a doctor group who wants Marijuana “pot” made legal for medical use. York’s viewpoint is more in the middle of yes or no. So his view point is more of like in things like medical use, and research to learn more about its uses would be okay, yet where as to sell on the street to smoke because it’s fun or just anything besides medical use or research it wouldn’t be okay. So in general the author is pretty open ended and open to both sides of the topic.

In the article “Colleges See Risk to Easing Pot Bans” Mary Beth Marklein (USA Today) informs people about colleges that see consequences to letting up on pot bans. The author’s viewpoint is that these colleges are right and that marijuana should stay illegal. The author does say one or two reasons why pot could be legal (for medical, and research use only). And also I did notice some bad connotation where she explains why pot might be legal.

In the article “Should Marijuana be Legalized under any Circumstances” Joe Messerli informs people about both sides of whether or not marijuana should be legalized. Messerli’s viewpoint is open ended to both sides of the issue and there for there is not really very much conflicting evidence. The text structure, Compare and Contrast supports his open ended feeling about this topic. And the connotation he uses is very neutral.
I like how you had a viewpoint of the good things and a viewpoint of the bad things and also a pros and cons viewpoint
ReplyDeleteThis is a major topic with many different viewpoints on the subject. The fear probably is is that someone will probably find a way to get more and abuse the substance.
