I enhanced my foundational knowledge by shadowing in a private dental office that especially has both general and orthodontic doctors. Over six hundred hours of assisting, I’m familiar with the preparation of tools for various procedures and at the same time being an expert of how different instruments work with their associated functions. One of the particular things that I recently learned and have attempted is the 3D scanning technology in the orthodontic side. During this procedure, cameras are inserted into the patient’s mouth and within several minutes of scanning, a digital image with more accuracy and oral details are generated. One of the greatest benefits is it directly makes dentist and patient easier since patients no longer need to tolerate impression material in the tray which can potentially cause a vomiting reflex. Realizing being a reputed dentist is not just soft and hard skills but also needs to stand from the patient’s perspective, from insurance benefit or from their treatment plan. Always showing the service principle of “patient-centered” is the key to becoming a successful dentist. Besides assisting, I like to find outside opportunities to study more about dentistry, such as attending last year’s AAO annual session in Chicago. As a genuine student visitor it was a great pleasure to see many prestigious dentists or influencers sharing their research and findings inside the lecture hall. Which also taught me dentists is a career that requires lifelong learning, the clinical techniques or treatment options are constantly evolving and changing therefore must continuously stay up-to-date, and that is the key to become a competent and knowledgeable dentist.

Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Analyze and evaluate ideas in a diverse range of texts
Scenario
You are a team lead for Firm X, a major department store chain that operates in 17 states in the United States. The company targets shoppers under the age of 35. Firm X sells clothes, electronics, home furnishings, and more recently, groceries and other household goods. Part of your responsibilities is to generate a consistent work schedule for your employees, but this has become more challenging. Because you make the extra effort to accommodate your employees’ needs, you have noticed that more and more of your team members are younger professionals with small children who are struggling to find affordable child care that is flexible enough to meet the demands of Firm X’s shift schedules.
In an attempt to convince Firm X’s management that an in-house childcare facility would be a significant benefit to the employees, you have arranged a meeting to propose this idea with store and regional leadership. You know that this will be a major financial investment for the company, so you will need to be persuasive in your proposal.
To prepare to write your persuasive proposal that will convince leadership to agree to your idea, you have decided to review an example of an effective speech or piece of persuasive writing made by a prominent person to gain a better understanding of the most effective rhetorical strategies they use to connect with their intended audiences. Completing a speech reflection will develop your ability to break down a point and examine how it is developed and argued effectively. By analyzing a speech, you will be able to identify examples of how literary and rhetorical tools can be used to strengthen your argument. Ultimately, your goal is to prepare a childcare proposal that will be presented to your leadership team in order to initiate this change within your company.
Directions
Speech Reflection
To better understand how rhetorical techniques are used in a persuasive manner, choose one of the two speeches below: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor address to the nation, or George W. Bush’s 9/11 address to the nation. Then, complete the speech reflection activity below.
FDR: Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation
George W. Bush: 9/11 Address to the Nation
After reviewing the speech of your choice, reflect on five rhetorical aspects of the speech by responding to the guiding questions for each of the categories below. Provide a brief (50–100 words) response to the each of these questions on the Speech Reflection Worksheet in the Deliverables section.
Get audience attention: How does the speech grab the audience’s attention and set the stage for what is to come?
Present the problem: How does the speech identify the issue at hand and highlight major concerns?
Offer a solution: What is proposed as a way to address the issue presented in the speech?
Vision for the future: What are the long-term effects of this particular situation on the audience?
Call to action: What portion of the conclusion of the speech appeals to the reader to take action related to the issue?
Childcare Proposal
To build support for your cause, you will need to write a 300- to 500-word proposal to your leadership team addressing the points shown below. Remember the rhetorical and/or persuasive techniques that you analyzed in the speech reflection, and utilize any techniques that may help build your persuasive proposal. Be sure to address all aspects of this issue so that the leadership team has as much information as possible to make any future decisions.
Note: For this project, assume that Firm X has the same values as your current or previous place of employment. Also, be sure to attribute sources where necessary using appropriate citation methods.
Be sure to address all of the following in your written proposal:
Project name
Your name and position
Summary of issues or concerns
Desired outcome
Benefits of the project
Action items (Next steps)
