Advocation

When thinking about my topic, I knew I wanted to choose a topic that I was both interested in and motivated by. To satisfy these two, I narrowed my search down to two topics, animal cruelty and bomb testing. These are two topics that I may not have very strong feelings for, however, they interest me and I have no problem advocating for them. Both these topics contain an extensive amount of information and photos, making the research for the two easy and fun.

I chose to advocate for no more bomb testing by the United States. After doing some reasearch, I became very interested in the topic and became satisfied with advocating for the subject. The amount of indivuals who sufferd and are still suffering from these bomb droppings is mind blowing and stomach crunching. The bomb's radiation have the ability to affect individuals thousands of miles away from the actual testing sites. The radiation causes extreme cases of cancer, mutation, and a wide variety of other illnesses. Atleast half of the 215 bombs exploded were done at the Nevada Test Site and the others at Pacific test sites. Extensive searches have been done to show others the horrible effects of these bombs and that these effects will stick around for years to come.

My project will include photos and a written essay, both concerning the effects of bomb testing and why stopping them can do nothing but benefit the United States. I want to include photos to that bring the cancers and illnesses to life for the reader. I believe choosing photos is one of the key aspects to this project, because it can bring my words in the essay to reality for the reader. I want to include cold hard facts about the bomb testing that can hopefully change the reader's view tward the subject.

  1. I find it interesting that you chose to advocate something that you originally did not have very strong feelings for, but I think it is also interesting how you were able to develop strong feelings for the topics as you did your project. You chose some pretty serious issues! It would be nice to see some of your pictures.
