Based on my readings of this unit, the reading scenario was overall very unprofessional. Some parts were demeaning and other parts were unprofessional. The required text for this class mentions that in business communications, “you want to sound educated and mature” (Guffey & Loewy, p. 46). When the author of the email used phrases like “boys and girls”, his terminology was inappropriate in conveying a mature message. Additionally, the book states you should adapt to the other person’s needs and viewpoints (Guffey & Loewy, p. 45). Arguably, the tone of the presented email emphasized the viewpoint that the employees were behaving much like children and addressing them as people who needed disciplinary guidelines. The textbook also mentions the need to determine the “richness of a channel” and discussed the effectiveness of various channels of communication (Guffey & Loewy, p. 45). From the tone of the email, it appears that there was a need to take corrective action based upon the misuse of internet. If this was the case, perhaps a better medium would be in a face to face meeting with all employees. It is possible there was simply a misunderstanding regarding the internet guidelines of the company. By conducting a face to face meeting, misunderstanding can be clarified and examples could have been given to clear up any misunderstandings. At the very least, the audience should have been profiled accordingly. The textbook mentions the importance of anticipating how the readers are likely to respond to the message (Guffey & Loewy, p. 42). The main message of the email is rather combative in nature and could easily put a barrier between management and the employees, undermining the original intent of the message which is to instruct on the proper usage of the internet. The book also mentions the importance of revising the message before sending it to the targeted audience (Guffey & Loewy, p. 40). It is likely the author of the email did not perform this vital step as, upon reading the original email, the tone of the email may have been noticed and corrected accordingly.

At the end of the 1990's, the America school system-with: "No Child Left Behind," US Presidential Legislation, began to express chagrin and more dismay-regarding the ineptitudes, of the US public school system, and the functionality-of American students. It was theorized, that qualities and characteristics, presented by: "Gifted," students-thought to be genetic, could be taught, through the US school system, to a general popultion. Abstract analytical thinking-the ability to: read, comprehend, analyze, compare, and interelate information, both: quickly and accurately, became a focus, of US public school secondary level, English writing courses (Lauer,1999, p. 252).
There are limits, to what can be conveyed through the educational system. People really are different, based on genetics. It is important, that an English major, at a University-should be one of the most competent, types of writing students. However, everyone, is not qualified, to earn a college degree. Americans, all have-as granted through the US Constitution-and equal right to happiness, and yet and still-we are not all qualified to: study train, or work, as a: neurosurgeon. It is difficult, for some people to understand, that there are: rules, laws, and limitations-even limitations, which are based on human genetics.
I have had a great deal of experience, in evaluating various writing samples, and in editing-the writings of others. Typically, practice in editing writing, and learning other pertinent aspects of English writing-even appropriate documentation, and citation styles, are taught, at a high school level, in the US: Kate Turabian, MLA, and APA. At the graduate school level-an evaluation of a stdents ability to evaluate and critque the writing of others-is useful I think, in determining, whether or not, that particular graduste student, graduated, from an American high school system. The exercize was simple, and redundant-based on my high school experience, and-some of the responses, from other students in the class, were unusual, and irrelevant.
