I decided to switch to Animal Confinement Feeding Operations for my position statement topic as I feel that it is a topic that I can write more personally about than bio fuels because of my love for animals. I haven't really started looking for sources all that much yet but from what I have found it seems that these confinement plants or operations are extremely cruel to their livestock, I mean what animals wants to stand 24-7 on a cement floor with not a lick of daylight available. Not many or any at that matter. This topic I feel will be both disturbing and interesting topic to write about and I feel that my position statement paper will develop quite rapidly after all the research is obtained.
On another note I was intrigued by how many people from the class will be writing about ethanol, and organic vs conventional and surprised that those were my first two ideas as well. It's funny how certain topics tend to stick out in classes. Personally I feel that these were the main topics due to the books and their topics that we read for this class. Both books focused on organic vs conventional and a little on bio fuels although i believe that all the topics were in some way or another connected to the book topics for the class.
One other thing before I get back to writing my literature essay is that I agree with those who say that the profile assignment in a way gave you, well not so much a friend, but another acquaintance or person that you feel you know. After doing my profile on Lynn Brakke I feel that I somehow have known him for some time, which isn't true, but the fact that we gain so much knowledge from one person in a small amount of time really plays with your mind is a sense that you have this persons whole life story that you have familiarized yourself with and now know perhaps by heart a few life facts. Anyways the assignment really broadens a persons horizons and perspectives on things.
