CRA Topic: Brett Kavanaugh


My subject will be regarding the nomination and confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice. This is an issue that is being widely discussed due to the political balance of the Supreme Court and people were unsure if he would be best for the Supreme Court’s panel. Most presidents in our past have not had an opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court Justice and since this President Trump’s second time nominating one in one term, people are fervently debating who would he should pick and who would be the best choice to put on the panel.

I chose this topic because there are many views concerning his nomination and it was controversial if Kavanaugh’s views would be beneficial for our country’s future. Many mediums and media outlets discuss this issue by explaining his background and what his political views consist of. They primarily talk about his education, previous experience in the court system and what he has done as a judge to make a difference in his community.

I expect to find a wide array of articles discussing his nomination where they contemplate if he will be the best choice for Trump’s next Supreme Court justice pick. However, since this a specific topic, there will limited sources where I can get find informative articles about Kavanaugh. There will be many articles that elaborate on who Kavanaugh is, but there will be even more that will be biased towards or against his political background. Those will not be appropriate to utilize for this paper since they will only elaborate on one side of the argument.

Sources can be found from many media outlets, ranging from social media to YouTube videos since many people want to include their input about his confirmation. For writing purposes, it would be best to reference news articles and YouTube videos since they are more informative and less biased. It would not be appropriate to reference social media or comments since they usually only provide one view of their argument and are posting for their own satisfaction or to get attention, not to correctly provide information for the public.

Notable Experience, Prickles and Goo

      The first day I went without my phone was excruciating. My phone habits become even stronger when I do homework because I become the most distracted and bored then. I would instinctively reach for my phone when I want a mini break, but I would have to stop my mind and my hand from reaching it. The thing is, I would want to take a mini break quite often. If I was stuck on a question, I would want to scroll through my Instagram. If I answered a question to my heart’s content, I would open my Snapchat and reply to my streaks.       According to the CNN article, “Smartphone addiction could be changing your brain,” it elaborates the different ways your phone could be affecting your brain. At one point, Dr. Max Wintermark, a Stanford neuroradiologist, “Altogether, this means that if you are too dependent on your smartphone, you are basically damaging your ability to be attentive.”       If I had read this article earlier before the expe...

Inquiry Essay Topic

When I was at home, my parents would always yell at me that I’m on my phone way too much. But to be honest, I really wasn’t, I would check my phone three or four times to just check my notifications. Furthermore, after college started this year, my four-year-old phone started lagging and stopped supporting older versions of my social media apps which discouraged me from checking my phone. Once I slowly started dropping hints to my parents that my phone was preventing me from communicating and having access to some key apps, they surprised me with a brand-new phone that I instantly fell in love with. And because of that, I couldn’t take my hands off the slim, curved reflective device.             I noticed myself getting a little out of control and my parents had a gut feeling that I would. So, before I left to come back from Labor Day weekend, my dad told me that the best way is to have control over your phone and not have the p...

Radical Honesty

Firstly, this paper does a good job of explaining her topic. She eases the reader in with a decent hook, then introduces her personal issue to tackle. She explains elaborately with outside sources to show that it is a valid problem to fix for herself, and it would be beneficial in the end for others to follow what she did as well.             She also explains what she will do in her experiment fairly well. Although the instructions are simple – not to tell white lies and fight her impulse to – she recounts her difficult experiences that had trouble telling her complete truth.             One of the things I mainly liked was her story telling ability. Additionally she was able to recall an atypical situation that you wouldn’t think of, such as when she ended up being completely honest with her ex, and decided to room with him. Like, no one, including her, would expect that...
