Peer-Reviewed Scientific Articles and Digital Public News Reports in the Discourse Community of Population Ecology
Population Ecologists: Goals of the Discourse Community – The overall emphasis of ecology is to analyze the relationships formed between organisms and their environment. There are various subdisciplines in the field of ecology that seek relationships based upon differing spatial (space) and temporal (time) scales. Other subdisciplines are classified based upon levels of organization such as population, community, and ecosystem ecology. Ecosystem ecology integrates biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components, whereas community ecology seeks to understand interactions between coexisting populations. …show more content…

Other group entities that familiarize themselves with population dynamics are local, federal, and state governments, wildlife conservation organizations, in addition to those who hunt for sport. Therefore, communication amongst a community composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds is a highly regarded skill. To do so, peer-reviewed scientific articles may be utilized to relay findings from research with others that obtain a scientific background or wish to use data to support new policies and/ or regulations. Moreover, public news articles may serve to inform those who live in a specific location, conservation activists, or as outreach to members not currently involved in the discourse community of population …show more content…

Peer-reviewed articles are generally aimed to inform the audience of the significance of the research that was conducted, how gathering data was executed, and disclose the results of the research. Readers may utilize the information provided in such articles as reference within their own composition, assist with making well informed decisions regarding environmental concerns, or for other scientists to conduct similar research. Contrarily, news reports have various intentions including entertainment, to gain attention from individuals outside of the immediate discourse community, or to inform a local community as to what is occurring in their neighboring

Because news reporters are no longer the only ones to present information, citizens feel their way into the story, thus creating many layers of journalism. This use of affective publics does have both pros and cons, however. With many citizens presenting their beliefs, news on social media is powered by affective statements of opinion, fact, or a blend of both. In other words, many persuasive statements are opinion based rather fact based. On the other hand, with a large portion of society starting to dominate the media industry, citizens can emphasize and expose many underrepresented

At first glance, I thought it was going to be rather difficult to relate any of Dr. Buttke’s work to my own life. However, after reading “The Role of Health in Wildlife Conservation: A Challenge and Opportunity,” I realized that her work is more relatable than most people would think. In this publication, Dr. Danielle Buttke worked with a team of people to produce a paper that would really get her point across in a simple but effective manner. The entire article is about the emerging infectious diseases, EIDs, and how they raise health risks in the wildlife and in humans (Buttke, Decker, and Wild). She mentions that in the public eye wildlife is mostly portrayed as the reason for EIDs and humans are the victims of this (Buttke, Decker, and Wild).

Have you ever listened to a news story and thought it sounded one-sided? Or have you thought the news didn't seem to report the whole story or the most important aspect of a story? Journalists possess the power to influence a whole group of people with their work. When writers input their opinion, they generate bias. Consecutively, this influences a reader's reaction to a topic.

Any group of individuals who share a common goal, and who communicate distinctly in efforts to achieve their goal can be referred to as a discourse community. There are certain features that distinguish a discourse community from any other society. In the article, The Concept of a Discourse Community, John Swales identifies a discourse community by six different characteristics that not only describe a discourse community; he also illustrates the process of joining that specific community. In the article Identity, Authority, and Learning to Write in New Work Places, Elizabeth Wardle discusses the engagement process of newcomers into a discourse community.

This illustrates how the author uses simple appeals to convey ethos and provided facts and statistics, as well as emotional appeals to support his claim. He tried to use personal examples, but referred to in the beginning of his article, “As a non-hunter, I cannot say anything about what it feels like to shoot or trap an animal” (Is Hunting Moral?). This shows that he has not had a first-hand experiment with the issue and makes the reader believe that this is misrepresentation of his

There are three main purposes a writer can have in starting to write his academic paper which is to inform, educate and persuade. The purpose of informing is mostly used in research papers that are mostly detailed in all its chapter, educational purpose is utilized in papers that contain a summary of an overarching topic like brochure and the persuasive papers are mostly based on the opinion of the author in accordance with facts to fully convince the reader to side with her. These cannot overlap with each other and must only be used one at a time for they are used in different situations and in different kinds of academic paper. For instance, it is impossible to use the purpose to inform in a paper like pamphlets, which is an educational paper, due to the pamphlets summarizing nature and the detailed requirement when writing an informative paper. TO further illustrate the strict rule of the purpose in academic writing, in a news article, an informative paper, the journalist is prohibited by rules of journalistic ethics to express his own opinion, a persuasive purpose, due to ethics and the original purpose of a news article which is to inform the masses of the current events.

This leads to my following reason, with the help from zoos, people are associating themselves to find possible solutions for this problem. An article made by Sarah Cunningham claims that ‘“Research shows that during these visits, people forge emotional connections to wildlife and learn to see themselves as part of conservation solutions”’ (Doc. B). Zoos are known as a resource to educate people to learn more about wildlife conservation. One of their objectives as an attraction is to inform people of what has been happening.

A biographical approach is relevant to Poe’s works due to the moods, motifs, and themes. One way that it is relevant to apply a biographical approach to Poe’s works it to better understand the moods in some of Poe’s stories, including the “Masque of the Red Death”. The moods in “Masque of the Red Death” can help readers better understand the story by taking a biographical approach because in the story, Poe mentions a vicious disease called the Red Death which can be related to his many of his family members who died of tuberculosis. In the article, "Edgar Allan Poe," the author states that Poe’s wife, Virginia, fell ill with tuberculosis. This could very well have been what inspired him with the mood of disease in the successful story, “

I believe that all other perspectives, except for the wildlife advocates, are too corrupt and will prioritize their own personal gain over the needs of wildlife conservation. As explained by the wildlife advocates during the debate, the other perspectives have too many pre-existing issues and alternative agendas that will impede the conservation of wildlife, such as the corruption of enforcement agencies and weak penalties for getting caught (Bamwine, 2019). For instance, the prosecution and investigation perspective tends to lack the awareness and means to determine the scale and scope of wildlife crimes (De Vries, 2023). Likewise, weak wildlife legislation and policies, coupled with the issues of corruption and awareness brought upon by the other perspectives showcase the inherent issues in sentencing wildlife crime: wildlife criminals are more likely to get away with their crimes or face weak punishments if they get caught (Bamwine, 2019; Wyatt et al., 2020; De Vries, 2023). The interconnected issues between prosecution, investigation, sentencing, and enforcement illustrate weaknesses in both criminalization and regulation of wildlife crimes (Wyatt, 2013).
