Kairos
Kairos means at the opportune time. I plan to use this in my paper, when I am organizing my sentences. To know exactly where I will place the proper punctuations, at the right time. To also know what comes first and last. Learning this word, I know that I will continue to use it in my writings at all times.
Pathos
I plan to use words that appeal to patients emotions. I will have in my paper, cases of where Occupational therapist are helping patients that are really sick. For example, a newborn that was born with a defect. Something else is, the elderly having issues with being able to get around.
An author would use ethos to show to his audience that he is a credible source and is worth listening to. I plan to use credible sources from many reliable websites and known sources. sources that are reliable are known sources, like from a scholar or articles that are reliable..
Doc 2
In document 2 i am writing about the myths that have been said about the field of occupational therapy. There have been mentioned that occupational therapist are there to assist people to find work. I am focus on finding many resources to prove that this is not the truth. throughout this paper, i will list the many other myths that have been mentioned and show proof to show otherwise.

Good evidence for Doc2
Good evidence that i have read is the statistics that shows the shortage of occupational therapist, especially in Canada. according to the article that i read, there were 255 ot in saskatchewan. and there were 25 ot per 100000 resident. This shows to have been an all time low. there continue to be a rise, because more schools are providing the training for many people to get the degree needed to help more patients that are in need.
Issues with Occupational therapy Assistant
Occupational therapy is a great field, the therapist are able to use activities, in order to help patients get back to their routine way of life.The issues with Occupational Therapy assistant is lack of OT's needed in the field. There are numerous of certified occupational therapist assistant that are readily available, but not enough OT's, to write plans for the OTA to follow with patients. There are plenty of job opportunities out there for the OT's. There are many schools that are trying to establish a program in their school for ot's to be ready for the field.Within occupational therapy, there are numerous areas to be covered, but there have to be willing participants.

THE DANGERS OF TEXTING AND DRIVING
 
 
We live in a world where technology is growing more and more. we use it in our daily life's, in class, at work even in the bathroom sometimes. A place where a phone does not need to be used is in our  care. This is dangerous to both the driver and other's on the road. There should lots more of actions that are taken when someone is texting and driving. Doing this, is like driving drunk. Our priority when driving should be to focus on the road, and get to where we need to go.
Illogical thought about people

we have illogically think about people with dreads for example. I use to think if you had dreads, you were uneducated and that you could do harm. the reason I thought this way was because of the opinions of others. I have learned from many successfully people with dreads, that this only represent their beliefs, and it is not my place to criticize the choices that they make.

Logical Fallacy in the media
 
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. There are many media outlets that uses this, as a way to get paid. The National enquirer is one of them. they use information that they have, and most likely it is without proof. For example, they have stated that an individual is pregnant, meanwhile the person does not have the belly to show it.

Peer evaluation process
 
 
To complete peer evaluation, i take time to read the paper and try to put myself as the author. If i see any improvements that needs to be done, i will note it. I don't do this to be superior, but only to share the knowledge that i have acquire towards my peers. I expect the same thing as well, you can always learn something from this. I also follow follow the process given for the evaluation, such as the use of APA. If the information is credible etc... I enjoy this process, and also when feedback is given to me as well.

Deductive reasoning




 The use of deductive reasoning allowed me not to be biased in the subject that I am talking about. It helps reason in a way, where i don't rely on opinions that are baseless. deductive reasoning is going from a general case down to a specific instance. Using it, allows me to change my mind about a subject that i chose, especially if there were no facts to support what i was writing about.
