WP1 Proposal: 3 Textual Genres

There are so many different types of textual genres in our society today, it makes it almost impossible to choose just three. There can be found anywhere from your own bedroom to a supermarket, they can be read or even heard. Some have obvious meanings behind them and some may be hidden but they all have a target audience. Their main goal is to reach their target audience and have some type of impact on them, whether it be just for a minute or for a lifetime. I never even really paid attention to the fact that genre can have so many different types besides just music or movies. Here are some of my own examples of what I think textual genres are:

First textual genre: Romance Novels
Second textual genre: News Articles
Third textual genre: Travel Brochures

  • BIGGEST:Books

PB2A: Part 1 & 2

Part 1: The academic discipline I chose is Forensic Science which is the application of science to criminal and civil laws, mainly -on the criminal side- during criminal investigation.  o    Concepts: o    It involves a multi-disciplinary approach that covers everything from biological methods to analytical chemistry techniques.  o    Issues: o    Misapplication of forensic science is the second most common contributing factor to wrongful convictions.  ·       Movements: o    “Wrongful Convictions and the Innocence Movement.” This movement is brought into the light to help free those who have been wrongfully convicted, and reform the criminal justice system. The subject of wrongful convictions has continued to grow, and the innocence movement’s influence has been very impressive. “Since the mid 1990s, new federal and state laws, and innovative police, prosecution, and forensic science ...

PB3: Forensics Used In Homicide Investigations

Based on the feedback I received from my WP2, I decided it would be best to narrow down my topic a little bit more. Originally, the topic that I chose to focus on was " Is the evidence that comes from the work of forensic scientists enough of a credible source for convictions during homicide investigations?". After doing some more research on this phenomenon and looking deeper into the world of Forensic Science, I've decided to come up with something a bit more clear. Shockingly, St. Louis, Missouri has the highest murder rate at 59.3 murders per 100,00. When I saw that, I couldn't believe my eyes, and it peaked my interest a lot so I decided to add that into my revised WP2 topic. Another thing I decided to do based on my feedback was pick a specific area of Forensics to focus on, which is Forensic Psychology. My new ACURA proposal is going to be: How does untreated psychosis affect the national homicide crime rate? Article 1: Enacting Forensics in Homicide Inve...
