Description

For this week’s Discussion, you will find a credible source that presents a rival perspective to your argument for change, share a key passage from the source, and then paraphrase that information using a signal phrase and in-text citation. Respond to the following prompts in at least two well-developed paragraphs (not including the copied-and-pasted material from your secondary source):

My Thesis: Houston has one of the worst traffic problems in the United States. In many ways, Houston is the champion of traffic in the US, a question that is both boring and full of inconveniences. Houston is not the worst case in the US but is undoubtedly one of the most neglected and poorly addressed problems in Texas. Houston Employers and state government can reduce Houston traffic by encouraging employees to use public transport instead of private cars. Although the efforts of the employers in reducing traffic congestion has been profoundly underestimated, it can make a difference.

  • Describe the rival source you found and why you selected that source. What makes this a reliable source?
  • Copy and paste a 1-5 sentence passage from the source and label it as the “Original Passage.”
  • Paraphrase the short passage you shared. Be sure to use in-text citations with any sentences paraphrasing ideas from the source, e.g., (Doe, 2013) or According to Jane Doe (2013). Remember from your Reading, an effective paraphrase sets up the information and explains it in a way that connects it to your argument (Krause, 2007).
  • Ask an open-ended question related to how you can effectively address the disagreement in your argument or related to paraphrasing and using sources.
  • At the end of your post, provide a complete APA 6th Edition style reference page citation for the source.

Selected Article
The rival article selected is entitled; “Why traffic congestion is here to stay…and will get worse.”
By Antony Downs. From the title, it is comprehensive that the article is giving opinions on the
causes of traffic congestion in metropolitan cities such as Houston. The article is selected because
it clearly gives the root cause to the traffic problem i.e. what the various stakeholders have never
apprehended. The article further gives a glimpse of solutions to the menace. At the end of it all, it
convincingly concludes at a rival statement to the original thesis.
