Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published July 15, 2016 (volume 26, issue 25)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Drinking Water Safety-Is the Federal Government Doing Enough to Keep America's Drinking Water Safe: Pro"by Adrian Moore, Vice President of the Reason Foundation "Drinking Water Safety-Is the Federal Government Doing Enough to Keep America's Drinking Water Safe: Con"by Tom Neltner, Chemicals Policy Director for the Environment Defense Fund par. 1The federal government is doing enough. It sets minimum water-quality standards and should play a role in independently monitoring state and local government compliance with standards. par. 2But the call for more federal funding is wrongheaded. Water infrastructure is entirely local in nature, and problems with safe drinking water are almost entirely local in nature. People in Maryland don't benefit from Flint, Mich., improving its water infrastructure, so they shouldn't be asked to pay for it. The same goes for localities all over the nation. par. 3When Congress starts funding local projects, several bad things happen. First, Congress can't target money to where it is most needed. Instead, every member thinks his district should get a fair share of the funds, and the most powerful members can earmark big chunks of funds for their districts. Second, even if Congress does allocate funds based on need, that approach simply rewards jurisdictions that failed to invest in their own infrastructure, paid for by taxpayers whose jurisdictions did make adequate local investments. Finally, the prospect of free federal money is a powerful disincentive for local governments to adequately spend their own resources on water infrastructure. It is much more appealing to lobby for federal funding than to pay for a project out of the local budget. par. 4We have seen all three of these problems play out over and over with federal infrastructure funding programs. par. 5Many, many local governments are responsibly managing their water infrastructure all on their own. Rather than ask for a federal handout, other local governments should emulate them. The responsible localities allocate property taxes, impact fees or other revenues to build new capacity as needed. They build into water rates the real costs of maintenance and include a capital fee to build up a fund to replace major facilities that reach the end of their lifespan. When there is a need for spending on water infrastructure, they move that to the top of the budget list, ahead of many “nice to have” spending items. Thousands of local governments use public-private partnerships to keep costs down and improve performance, or even rely on regulated private water utilities to provide safe drinking water. par. 6The responsible path is for local water users to pay for the infrastructure they use, not to ask people far across the nation to fund it for them. par. 1Americans expect safe, affordable drinking water delivered to their homes on demand. But our water infrastructure suffers from an out-of-sight, out-of-mind problem. We build it, but we all too often fail to maintain it. At every level of government, we need smarter investment, stricter oversight, regular coordination and more public transparency to ensure safe drinking water. par. 2According to the Environmental Protection Agency's 2011 Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey, the nation's aging water infrastructure needs about $400 billion in capital improvements over the next 20 years. That is 12 times more money than the federal government has invested in water infrastructure since it created the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund in 1997. par. 3While the burden for these upgrades ultimately rests with the local utility and its customers, Congress needs to do more. This is particularly important in places where customers likely are unable to cover the costs of infrastructure loans. Congress, the Obama administration, states and municipalities must work together to create funding alternatives to help these communities make the necessary improvements and have the technical, managerial and financial capacity to run the systems effectively. par. 4State oversight agencies that must ensure the work is done right are understaffed. In 2013, the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators estimated that states have an average of 3,100 people inspecting its water utilities. That's 1,300 fewer people than are needed to provide basic oversight. With some 150,000 public water suppliers operating across the country, increasing state staffing will prove a costly, if essential, safeguard. par. 5Water officials and utilities need a reliable federal partner, too. The Environmental Protection Agency must provide more guidance to its state and local partners. And its approach of regulating chemicals on an individual basis cannot keep pace with the thousands of commercial chemicals potentially entering our drinking water. As a result, too many water systems are ill-prepared to address emerging problems. par. 6Finally, we need an honest, open dialogue regarding the state of our nation's water infrastructure. Infrastructure improvements have been postponed, operating budgets cut and staff sizes reduced, at the risk of safe drinking water. Only by working together, committing to investing additional capital, updating old policies and practices and improving technical and operating procedures can we keep America's drinking water safe. Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Drinking Water Safety-Is the Federal Government Doing Enough to Keep America's Drinking Water Safe: Pro” and "Drinking Water Safety-Is the Federal Government Doing Enough to Keep America's Drinking Water Safe: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose. To start, determine what you believe is each author’s specific purpose. Choose one of the following specific purposes for each author: to convince, to justify, to validate, to condemn, to expose, to incite, to celebrate, to defend, or to question. Then, determine which one of the following rhetorical tools or rhetorical appeals the "Pro" author relies upon most heavily in his or her article to achieve his or her specific purpose and then which one of the following rhetorical tools or rhetorical appeals the "Con" author relies upon most heavily in his or her article to achieve his or her specific purpose. You must choose both tools and/or appeals from the following list: alliteration amplification allusions analogy arrangement/organization authorities/outside sources common ground definitions diction (and/or loaded diction) enthymeme examples facts irony paradox parallelism refutation rhetorical questions statistics testimony tone logos pathos ethos kairos Organize your ideas into a four-paragraph essay that includes the following paragraphs: (paragraph 1) an introduction paragraph; (paragraphs 2 and 3) two separate, well-developed rhetorical tools and/or rhetorical appeals body paragraphs (one focused on the "Pro" author's use of your chosen rhetorical tool or appeal to achieve his/her specific purpose and the other focused on the "Con" author's use of your other chosen rhetorical tool or appeal to achieve his/her specific purpose); and (paragraph 4) a conclusion paragraph. Your essay must include a forecasting thesis statement and effective topic and concluding sentences in each body paragraph. At least four times in your essay, you also must correctly integrate quotations, paraphrases, and/or summaries from the above-noted articles; remember to include proper in-text citations.
