My personal writing philosophy is one that most people who dislike English classes can all connect to. I believe that learning how to write at a high level is important to students and people who are looking to obtain high position jobs, but forcing all students to learn how to write at such a high level is a waste of time. Majority of people write papers all throughout their pre-college years and have mastered the basics of writing. However, most liberal arts colleges make their students continue their writing courses even though they have no interest in pursuing a career that involves such high levels of writing. All throughout high school I would write papers for my English classes, and while I got high marks on all my papers, I never enjoyed writing. The topics were always so forced and I would always write in a way that my teachers would find appealing, so in a way it was not what I wanted to write. Writing, to me, is similar to forcing a person to make an impossible choice. Either write the way your teacher or professor wants you to, or suffer the consequence of a failing grade. English classes give a false illusion of choice, and I believe that is where my disdain for writing stems from.

Today in class we went over what and who the stakeholders in our individual projects are. A project stakeholder is anyone person, group, or organization who may be affected by the outcome of the project. Professor Julien told us to write down who we thought our stakeholders were in our project. For me, the stakeholders that I can think of are the students in my class, Professor Julien, my two interview subjects, and people from the soccer community who may happen to come across my website and read my autoethnogrophy.
These are just a few interview questions that I came up with to ask my interview subject in the upcoming weeks
- What is your current view on soccer and it's culture? - Have you or anyone you know participated in any soccer related violence? If so, elaborate on the experience. - How do you think these experiences have changed your outlook on soccer culture - What is the main difference you have noticed about soccer here in the United States and England? - Why do you think soccer violence occurs much more frequently overseas rather than here in the United States? - How is soccer violence perceived in England? - How is soccer violence perceived in the United States? |
