Lets see the issue I mentioned in the last prompt was that I was having trouble finding a call to action or a solution to my issue. I have sense then been doing more research online by going to different online dating websites and have been trying to figure out if any of these sites have a solution incorporated into how they match people. So far there has been little successes, but I will not fail and I will keep on searching.
Well for my first effective and ineffective use of visuals rhetorics in websites I wanted to use Facebook. I feel that the newer look of Facebook on people's timelines is very effective, when compared to the old style, in getting me to use Facebook more.

Patchwriting
As a people today we may be calling what someone may view as true or a fact a myth. We have gone from something being a legend when it is called a myth, to just being something their to entertain us. I mean their is a TV show called Mythbusters, and I for one can say that show is defiantly their to entertain me.
Well I have kind of been having trouble thinking of a call of action type thing to my issue. In my paper I am addressing that deception is an issue within online dating. It is just hard to think of a piratical way to get it to stop. I mean you can't get rid of online dating.

What I learned
The very first thing I learned in class was that BYU has a iPad room. In all actuality though I learned quite a bit from class on monday. I usually have trouble researching and I usually resort to just randomly searching online for what I wasn't. Monday's class period helped me learn of much easier and more effective ways of finding what I am really looking for. Not only did I learn how to find more stuff faster, I learned how to filter what I find to better suit my needs. Looking back on monday I can't really think of things I am confused about. I am sure there are question that I still need the answer to, but as of right now I really can't think of a single thing I need answers to.

Issues Paper Proposal
The issue that I would like to propose for my issues paper is "Online Dating." Some issues that I feel have come about from on dating sites would be: the quality of relationships, people exaggerating and lying about info, dangers of online dating, the statistics for marriage and divorce, lack of face to face interactions, and how it isolates people. As you can probably tell from all the issues I put down, my initial stances of online dating sites is that they create artificial love if anything, and that they are overall not a good thing. The Research questions that I will be using will be: What is the quality of realationships produced by online dating sites? What are the faults with online dating? What are the dangers with online dating? How our people effected when they use online dating sites?
I have done a little research on my topic thus far, and the information that I have gotten so far has been somewhat helpful. In online dating sites people put information about themselves and then get matched to someone like themselves, but people tend to exaggerate qualities about themselves. It is more common for people to lie about things to get that girls or guy. When putting a picture of themselves online people tend to put more flattering pictures of themselves, which can be very misleading. More will say and ask to do bad things on online dating sites. There is just so much more issues with online dating sites, but those were few things that I was able to find. I haven't really been affected by this topic personally. To say the truth I was watching tv and one of those eHarmony commercials went on. I got very annoyed by this commercial and thought to myself "There is no way that online dating sites can be good." Here I am now though, proposing this topic. I guess you could say I have been affected by this topic because the commercials annoy me.
