We were tasked to write a persuasive paper about why our mental health topic was bad and how we would be able to change it. The topic that I had to write about was Social Isolation. Since this was a persuasive essay, we had to write a thesis statement. This is my thesis from my paper, "Social Isolation is a topic that should be discussed within society because it increases the risk of developing a mental and physical health issue, it changes the way the brain expresses emotion, and it decreases the amount of stimulation happening within the brain." Persuasive writing is different from regular writing because with regular writing, you would need to just state facts. While with persuasive writing, you try to argue a topic with commentary and emotion. In Humanities, we sat through many lectures about how to properly write persuasive papers. We listened through things like how to write a proper thesis, how to add commentary, how to cite your sources, etc. With that, we also had plenty of work time to try and finish the paper. The process of persuasive writing has helped me define what I was advocating for because it pretty much helped me connect everything in my paper together.
Historically, the U.S. has been in the middle when it comes to basic and social need of the citizens. On one hand people have everything when it comes to basic and social needs. But on the other hand people in mental institutions aren't getting their needs. People's basic needs are food, water and shelter. Now sometimes other things are basic needs because we rely on them a lot, like money and technology. The gov plays a big role on mental health and basic needs because of how they can control the things like mental institutions.
