What is the value of doing this assignment? In your personal, academic, and professional life, you will encounter countless situations where you will need to convince family members, friends, coworkers, committees, and other audiences to adopt new policies, consider different processes and perspectives, or make changes that will impact others. Being able to convince others will allow you to have a voice in your own life and impact the lives of others. In order to do this, you will need to develop strategies for persuasion. You will be more convincing if you are able to provide credible evidence to support your point. Having valid and credible evidence to support your arguments plays a large role in how persuasive you are, how others receive your information, and the credibility you can build for yourself.
In this assignment, you will also have the opportunity to practice your problem solving skill by locating and analyzing sources for validity and credibility. You will analyze how information is used to persuade audiences to adopt or change perspectives and also examine ethical considerations. You will then build upon the information you have gathered and analyzed to plan and write a persuasive proposal in Assignments 2 and 3. Additionally, the information literacy strategies you are practicing can be applied to any source you encounter in the course of your daily life. By understanding how to identify what a source is really saying, you can search for the subtle ways in which it is trying to persuade you. Also, when you understand how to tease out the true meaning of a source, you can better equip yourself to determine if it will be of use to you as you communicate with and attempt to persuade others.
Further, you will continue to develop your innovation skill by brainstorming and considering different solutions for your proposal. You will have the opportunity to select a topic that has some meaning for you and clearly articulate your goal in putting together a persuasive proposal. Having clarity around the topic and goal of your persuasive communications can help you better identify evidence to support your argument. When you are transparent and ethical about your proposal and provide valid evidence, you will have a better chance of making a real impact in the world.
Your goal for this assignment is to: Build your problem solving skill by locating credible and valid sources of evidence and analyzing how those sources can be used to support a persuasive argument in an ethical manner. This assignment will help you define the topic and initial sources of evidence that you will use in Assignments 2 and 3.
STEP 1: Review the scenarios below, which you were introduced to in Week 1. If you have not already, choose the scenario you will use as the basis of your assignment. Then, review Assignment 1 in the webtext.
If you are wondering which scenario would be best to choose, think about concerns, issues, or projects that you are passionate about in your own life and career. For example, if you keep coming back to how the empty lot on your block would make a great community garden space, you may want to consider choosing Scenario 1. If your workplace is experiencing a delay in receiving supplies, and you want to explore a solution to this problem, you may want to consider choosing Scenario 2.
STEP 2: Make sure you have completed the following prewriting activities in your Webtext:
- Week 1: Select Your Topic.

Assignment 1: Laying the Foundations for Making a Case Skill(s) Being Assessed: Problem Solving (Information Literacy) Scenario 1: You are trying to convince a community group or municipal committee t
Topic Proposal topic: Breast cancer is killing so many people in my community. As a result, these people, some of them leave young children who end up on the streets. On the other hand, financing breast cancer is expensive and comes with such a facility that will help both patients and the community. Why this topic is important to me: This problem is important to me personally because I had a very close friend and family members who were diagnosed with breast cancer and died leaving behind their kids. Since the problem here is children being out on the street and other orphans who will benefit from the community center program. Breast cancer awareness is crucial because early identification, frequently through screening, can catch the illness when it is most curable. Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among American women, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). I feel that breast cancer awareness is very important. There are a variety of things that can be done to detect early intervention. You must take good care of your breasts if you want to avoid illnesses and aging-related symptoms. No of her age, every woman has to take care of her breasts. Your breast size won’t become larger if you exercise. The circulation is improved and your breasts can be shaped by exercising. Audience Audience: Town officials of Bassfield and the United States Department of Health and Human Services Audience Description: Jackson, Mississippi is where the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is situated. Within the Administration of Human Resource Programs industry, this firm primarily serves clients in the Administration of Public Health Programs, Federal Government business area. At this branch, the US Department of Health and Human Services employs about 97 workers. Why this topic is important to the audience: This proposal aims to construct a Cancer Screening and Community Center in Bassfield. People who die of breast cancer leave young children who cannot fend for themselves. The Cancer Screening section will offer free cancer services to people in Mississippi to help people identify cancer cases early and get the best treatment. By doing this, the project will reduce the number of cancer cases within Mississippi. On the other hand, the Community Center will help cancer- 2 affected children by acting as a home and an education center educating the people of Mississippi on the early signs of cancer and what they need to do. The facility will work with different stakeholders to ensure only orphans are admitted to the facility. The proposal aims to engage the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to launch a Cancer Screening and Community Center in Bassfield. HHS’s mission is to facilitate healthcare delivery in the United States by coordinating and funding healthcare projects (Elghazaly et al., 2021). HHS invests in interventions to minimize health disparities in different parts of the United States. The Cancer Screening and Community Center will provide residents of Bassfield with facilities that will help bring the community together. The facility will also offer the opportunity to adequately support competitive support with other regions within the Mississippi. The Cancer Screening and Community Center will be state of the art and could be used to carry out different cancer screening and treatments. The facility will strengthen Bassfield’s relationship with the local community through interactive programs such as cancer campaigns and cancer treatment services. Sources With Summary and Analysis Source 1: B., T., & J., M. (2020). A Study on Awareness of Breast Cancer among Nursing Students. Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology , 14 (2), 152–157. https://doi.org/10.37506/ijfmt.v14i2.2777 Summary: This article is written by B.T. & J.M. and it was published in the Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology. The source argues that the most prevalent kind of cancer in women is breast cancer, and incidence rates are rising in many nations. Any woman, regardless of her educational level, social status, or cultural background, could develop breast cancer. The misconceptions about early cancer detection, curability, and the effectiveness of screening tests among females are caused by their lack of knowledge and inaccurate perceptions of breast cancer prevention. The source was published in 2020. It appeared on the Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology website. The purpose of this source is to inform. It wants the readers to get informed about the knowledge of breast cancer. Analysis: I would use the information about breast awareness among Nursing students. A reliable source is unbiased and supported by facts. It was written by a reliable individual or group. There are many sources available, and it might be difficult to determine which ones are reliable and which ones are not at first look. Credibility assessment of sources is a crucial information literacy skill. Source 2: Elghazaly, H., Aref, A. T., Anderson, B. O., Arun, B., Yip, C. H., Abdelaziz, H. & Elghazawy, H. (2021). The first BGICC consensus and recommendations for breast cancer awareness, early detection, and risk reduction in low‐and middle‐income countries and the MENA region. International journal of cancer , 149 (3), 505-513. 3 Summary: This article was written by Elghazaly, Aderson, Arun, Yip Abdelaziz, and Elghazawy. They are Lecturers of Clinical oncology at Ain shams University in Egypt. This article report is about the consensus session, which addresses the issue of breast cancer risk reduction, early detection, and raising awareness among the lower and middle classes. The paper recommends policies to reduce breast cancer mortality. Some recommendations were breast cancer awareness campaigns, chemoprevention, and intensive surveillance of high-risk individuals. This paper is essential to the persuasive argument as it provides clinical breast examination data representing actual breast cancer intervention. This source was published in 2021. I found this article in the Strayer Library. The purpose of this article is informative. Analysis: I will use this source to make a recommendation for breast cancer awareness and early detection. The ability to recognize reliable sources is crucial. Understanding depth, objectivity, currency, authority, and purpose are prerequisites for this skill. It is a good idea to assess your source using these five criteria regardless of whether or not it has undergone peer review. Source 3: Gayle A. Sulik. (2011). Pink Ribbon Blues : How Breast Cancer Culture Undermines Women’s Health . Oxford University Press. Summary: This source is a book written by Gayle A. Sulk and published by Oxford University Press. The insightful book by Gayle Sulik demonstrates how optimistic claims about the dwindling breast cancer epidemic, the advantages of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and the promise of genomics and proteomics for personalized therapies conceal incomplete data and vested interests while concealing the causes of breast cancer. Pink Ribbon Blues offers a reliable, fact- based method for separating well-founded hope from deceptive hype. It looks at the current condition of breast cancer activism and what it is and is not doing for the health of women. This source was published in 2011. This book was published by Oxford Health Press. The article’s purpose is to be informative and bring awareness to people about the epidemic of breast cancer. It was dedicated to her friend Cathy Hoey. Analysis: I will use this source to see how breast cancer culture undermines women’s health. The author is credible because it was published in Oxford press and it is a peer-reviewed article. Source 4: Khushalani, J. S., Qin, J., Ekwueme, D. U., & White, A. (2020). Awareness of breast cancer risk related to a positive family history and alcohol consumption among women aged 15–44 in the United States. Preventive Medicine Reports , 17 , 101029. Summary: The article was written by Khushalani, Qin, Ekwueme, and White. The article’s main point is the link between risk factors and breast cancer. Consequently, to reduce risk factors for breast cancer in young women, the report found that it is essential to understand the overall level of socioeconomic disparities and awareness of breast cancer. This resource is necessary as it examines awareness of two risk factors for breast cancer, which include alcohol use and positive 4 family history in women aged 15 to 44. This article was published in the Preventative Medicine Reports in 2020. This article was published in the Preventative Medicine Reports. This article was created to inform readers about risk factors and breast cancer. Analysis: I will use this source to inform the readers about how breast cancer risks are related to family history and alcohol assumptions among women.

Ethical Approach to Gathering Sources 1) First, discuss the purpose of your sources—do they present information in a persuasive way or an informative way? Then describe the affiliations or positions your sources have and discuss how you identified those affiliations and positions. Breast cancer awareness is crucial because early identification, frequently through screening, can catch the illness when it is most curable. Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among American women, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The goal of the breast cancer awareness movement is to raise public knowledge and lessen the stigma associated with the disease’s signs and treatments. 5 2) Discuss the variety of perspectives or opinions that your sources express. Does at least one of your five sources present an argument that opposes or debates your potential solution to the problem you’re addressing? Briefly describe some of the different perspectives you found. Yes, early detection of cancer and better health-seeking behavior depend on cancer awareness. Both industrialized and developing nations have high rates of cancer, but public awareness is still low. Lack of awareness may result in slow adoption of screening techniques and delayed diagnosis. By encouraging your female friends and relatives to obtain mammograms and teaching them how to inspect their breasts for abnormalities, you can raise awareness of breast cancer. Set a good example for others. In October, many clinics provide free mammograms. Make an appointment for a mammogram, and perhaps your loved ones will do the same. 3) Discuss how your sources present secondary information. Do they cite sources of their own? How can the claims made in your sources be corroborated for accuracy? Do any of them contain information that you could see being disputed? Yes, secondary sources were utilized by my sources. In the form of journal articles, book reviews, and academic texts, it offered secondhand data and comments from other scholars. Check both lists for material that is the same or comparable to the two different summaries that you produced. Any information that the two have in common can be utilized to support one claim with another. Any details offered by one source that is absent from the other cannot be corroborated. Comparing two texts to examine the accuracy of the evidence and the viability of the arguments and justifications is known as corroborating. If the two records concur, whether in terms of facts or justifications and assertions, then the earlier source confirms the new historical evidence. 6
