Third Blog Assignment

1) I will be writing to an audience that consists of parents of children and people who want to be in charge of their health in order to prevent the risk of obtaining asthma. I now have a better understanding as to why my topic is a timely one to be aware of: Everyone who may either have a family background of asthma or is afraid of environmental effects on people as well as prevention of asthma and it spreading across the world, especially with children. I am very invested in this topic because I, for one, have asthma and was confused as to why people without a family background in it (genetics) could get the same thing I have...even sometimes with worse effects. I think high school teachers were just interested in the assignment itself: to see that we could write a supportive essay that explained something. College teachers want you to benefit from your writing and care that you have learned something.
2) I am actually seeing a minimal amount of differences in viewpoints concerning my topic. They are all fairly consistant : indoor pollution (mold, animal dander, dust mites) the same stuff everywhere I look...thenagain, it is based solely on environmental factors.
3)I never knew that environmental factors would ever concern indoor factors...especially concerning asthma. I knew that there were things everywhere that affected it and made it worse, but never actually thought that it could be caused by a factor in and indoor climate.
4)I commented on Sarah Hudson's blog post number 2 about how pets have a positive influence on humans
