Ryan:
My thesis: The privatization of water an ultimately lead to permanent loss of water quality and an increase in costs that will only benefit private companies and not the well-being of people.
In my thesis goes straight to the point on why water privatization can have negative effects in the long run. Although it may seem great at first, giving a company control of an essential product can be harmful because they may not have stringent regulations to follow. What companies care about is making revenue, not the health of people, so if they have to cut costs, so be it. A question I would ask about the carity and/or effectiveness of my thesis is how can I make my statement more impactful? Some feedback I would give to myself is that I need to elaborate more on what is leading to a permanent loss of water quality.
Isabella:
I really like how clear your thesis statement is. I think to make your thesis more impactful, you can add the reasons why water privatization is negative in the long run. How is it affecting the Earth’s environment? What can we do about it? What are the short-term effects? I agree with the feedback you gave yourself, but that can always be elaborated with more research. I think you are off to a great start and your thesis looks nice so far.

NOTE: 300 Words
Thread must be at least 300 words and demonstrate course-related knowledge. For each thread, you must support your assertions with at least 2 specific references to the course materials (citations to these sources may be informal, but you must include enough information for your classmates to find the original).
QUESTION:
Thread: C. S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer were very effective apologists to their generation. Yet, the turn to postmodernity in the second half of the 20th century raised fresh apologetics challenges. What are these challenges, and do Lewis’s and Schaeffer’s respective approaches successfully respond to them?
NOTE: In responding to this thread, you will need to read a little about the topic of postmodernity and apologetics. You may find a number of resources on the internet on this issue, but you do not need to provide specific references. However, you do need to demonstrate some knowledge and understanding of the specific postmodern challenges to apologetics. In the lecture I make a point that C S Lewis had a hard time dealing with certain arguments formulated by more ‘postmodern’ philosophers. Why is that? What is specific about the postmodern problematic that might make older apologetic approaches less viable? Or, to the contrary, do these approaches continue to remain viable? You may engage with either Lewis, or Schaeffer, or both in this thread.
