Group Synthesis

Article #1
A) Thesis: San Francisco and Massachusetts now offer the only near-universal health care programs in the United States.
B)Main Points:
1)Today, almost all residents in the city have affordable access to a comprehensive health care delivery system through the Healthy San Francisco program.
2)To pay for this, San Francisco put into effect an employer-health-spending requirement
3)There has been great demand for this plan. Thus far, around 45,000 adults have enrolled, compared to an estimated 60,000 who were previously uninsured.

4) Group Statement= We all agreed that these variety of articles are all under the same subject and are common, they try to help people out yet these articles are targeting certain people and all have different meanings to the term health care such as universal, global, within the states, etc!

6)Because I stated the thesis earlier, the argument I can say is that the U.s Health care is not effective based on the other countries use of health care. It seems like there health care is better, and how Barrack Obama wanted to create a better health care system, but he didn't seem to fix it

Group 3 excercise

In this I think that the assignment is for me to prepare information on the topic "Creative Arts and the American Spirit" for a conference for a panel session. basically, in this unit we will be writing as if we were a professor's assistant, in which we have to help gather and sythesize important information on the given topic.we will be synthesizing literature for the creative arts and the american spirit.

Basically, you will need to spend a lot of time investigating in your field to get a specific topic worthy of your professor's standards.

Reading the source for this essay will help up focus on our topic and also serve as the objects of your synthesis. For this project we will be expected to understand and apply strategies for locating academically respectable source, for judging their credibility. we will be reading additional text book selection that rainforce source attribution strategies for accurat MLA citation. In the unit 4 essay consult the quick reference guide to MLA documentation in your course hand book- A Writers Resource. That section will provide answers to most of the questions we will have relevent to citing sources for this assignment.

The most important principle to overview in the Unit 4 essay is to not make this literature review a plain summary. The synthesis or literature review should require you to forward a thesis and cover all the material we have learned in the previous units. In the essay you will intemperate what the authors question of the issue will be, and evaluate their attitude towards it.
