I had my four friends discuss our second major assignment, which my group chose to analyze the organization March of Dimes. Just for a brief overview, the March of Dimes foundation is an organization focused on the health of babies. It focuses on the research of the causes of prematurity and educating new parents and pregnant mothers on how to treat their baby. It supports the mothers, their newborn, and promotes their health.
How do you disagree with a mission like that? As my group looked over the website to follow the prompt, I admit it was kind of difficult to find problems and fallacies. My friends thought the same thing. With a concept of helping babies and researching prematurity, it’s kind of hard to go wrong. There aren’t many claims to represent a fallacy.
However, my friends did find the same one as my group paper without reading our assignment. The March of Dimes claimed to be the most hardworking organization to help babies and find the cause of prematurity--a hyperbole that could easily be countered.
I liked what you did on your assignment. I think march of dimes is an important organization. I think education of new parents is a good thing because nowadays too many parents neglect their children which leads to all sorts of problems. Also I think it is important that mothers know how to properly treat and raise their baby because it is a difficult task. My sister had a baby recently and she is encountering all sorts of issues with raising the child. The baby cries a lot and she has no idea what it needs. I think it would have been a good idea if she took lessons, such as those presented in march of dimes, before she had the baby. Anyways I think you did a good topic and I think they are a really good organization.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and support. The March of Dimes works very hard at giving every baby a healthy start.
