Paper details  

For this essay analysis, you will write about a problem in your professional discourse community and a solution for it that you propose. You will incorporate three reputable digital sources from the web. This means the essay draft needs at least three in-text citations, one per source, included on your works-cited page.

1. Provide an introduction that describes your professional discourse community as an overview and a thesis statement that briefly names the problem and your proposed solution.

2. Describe the problem, its causes, and the effects on your professional discourse community. Analyze all your claims/points/reasons with thorough explanation and supportive evidence. As evidence include ample detailed examples with your explanations and at least three in-text citations throughout the entire essay, one from each source, to enhance this and/or any other part of your essay.

2. Describe your proposed solution and how it will impact your community. Again, analyze all your claims/points/reasons with thorough explanation and supportive evidence. As evidence include ample detailed examples with your explanations and at least three in-text citations throughout the entire essay, one from each source, to enhance this and/or any other part of your essay.

3. Discuss how the community would view your proposed solution. Who in the community would agree with it? Who in the community would object to it? Remember that your community comprises people with various roles and identities. So, for example, in a healthcare professional discourse community comprised of patients, nurses, doctors, and multiple others, a potential problem is the unavailability of doctors at certain times to make immediate needed patient medication changes if a patient is not responding well to a drug. A proposed solution might be to allow nurses and physician assistants expanded responsibilities for making patient medication changes in certain circumstances. However, doctors might object to that for a variety of reasons. As the essay writer, consider carefully and explain who in your professional discourse community might object to your proposed solution to the problem you observe and why.

4. Be sure to include a conclusion which summarizes the main points made in your essay. No new information or points should be presented here.

******Please discuss a veterinarian professional discourse community. Below are some challenges faced in this discourse community. Please keep at least one (or all) of these examples the same however you can provide different information for these examples. ****

1.) Handling Ignorant Pet Owners

As a current vet assistant, often times I see many pet owners who are not knowledgeable about their pets. They buy them because they're "cute" . They don't take the time to do research on the animals. So these owners have no clue the needs for the pet. For example, when purchasing a lizard you can't just go to the store, buy a bag of food, plop it down and be good. There are numerous species of lizards, and you should be willing to offer the care yours needs. Owners will need to be aware of the lifespan, types of food, habitat requirements (including cage size and temperature) and the lizard’s size when it’s fully grown. Some iguanas get to be 6 feet long and need a big living area. One who doesn't know this information could be left with a some serious problems. If these owners are unaware of certain kinds of shots their animal needs, they will become ill. This is heart breaking to watch as someone in this discourse community because things like this can be avoidable.

2.)Managing Frightened Animals

While most animals are lovable, the frightened ones can appear to viscous. When working on animals who are frightened they could lash out, bite or attack a worker or their owner. This could result in owners thinking you or the other workers are doing something wrong to their pet. It could also result in one of the workers or owners getting hurt. This could be stressful for someone working in this discourse community.



3.) Handling low income pet owners

Some pet owners simply don’t have the funds to take care of their pets. It’s heartbreaking, but what can you do? Watching an animal in need of medication or surgery is hard to turn away when most veterinarians are apart of this discourse community to help these animals. Most vet clinics do not offer insurance for their pets and if they do, it doesn't always cover all of the procedure cost. I would say this is very challenging for some one in this discourse community because you either have to turn away a sick patient or somehow be able to reduce the price of the medication/ procedure. If a clinic lowers a price for one person it could cause some problems for the company. These problems include loosing money and creating angry customers for the ones who paid full price.
