Production and Ownership of Knowledge

In this semester, I have learned how to write a space-order paragraph using lots of descriptive details, a listing-order paragraph using reasons and examples to prove my point, and an opinion paragraph. Through writing various kinds of paragraphs, I have acquired understanding of knowledge production and knowledge ownership. To be specific, I have got to know how to write a paragraph more informatively and interestingly to convey my opinion and feelings to others. Professor Gary, who has been an English Writing Professor for about 9 years in Sejong University, always told us, "Paragraph should be clear, specific, detailed, and concise." To write clearly, I did not make grammatical errors as possible. To write specifically, I wrote on the basis of my own experience. To write detailedly, I used many descriptive words, and I put some related images of the topic because readers may have no knowledge about my topic. To write a perfect writing, I always tried to fulfill those four requirements: clear, specific, detailed, and concise. Finally, ownership of knowledge is one of the important elements in writing. There are innumerable information in the Internet, and we can get those information with comparative ease. I realized that it makes more reliable when I use citations of famous researchers or celebrities because readers know who they are. Consequently, I believe showing knowledge ownership is very significant to give readers credibility.
