Class: FYS 

Assignment: I did a research project on dorm life for my FYS class. Our assignment was to write about a  type of cultural of people based on your choice.

Purpose: I used perspective, audience, as well as purpose  

How it relates:  While I had to write about the culture of dorm life I had to observe people as well as interview people, I knew I had to get a perspective on how they see their life now that they live on campus instead at home. I had to use audience, not just any but specifically CSUMB students living in the dorms, Any college/university could have different types of audience who have their own way of living on campus, which is why I had to specifically choose CSUMB. Using purpose was a way to see how CSUMB students see the way of dorm life by different ethnicity, cultural beliefs, religion and so on. By using audience as my guide to my research paper I was able to observe the type of diversity in this school and was able to write about diveirity in CSUMB as well, thus I was able to identify their ethnicity and more importantly their culture beliefs.  Perspective was also another guide to see other people view and got a more of an open look of how they see the world now. I do think however that perspective and audience do tie in together as they both have a connection. Audience relates to perspective because the audience all have different perspective about certain topics, thus I was able to get different opinions and information on my essay for FYS. All this can connect with primary research as I myself also did interview questions to get information from students. Previously I done another blog post about Social anxiety and found statistics information and popular scholarly source. Knowing that I had to get more in depth information about my project, I knew I had to interview people to get their point of view. By doing this it relates to my FYS project. Both had to connect to prescriptive as well as audience.  I do encourage to interview people if it is part of your assignment to get a strong opinion on different people, the more you have the more your essay will have. Using a rhetorical concept tracker can be useful as it is a way to keep your ideas organized.
