1) Due to the fact that my topic is about personal hygiene/sanitation, I believe that everyone should be an audience of my argument. Everyone should be informed about which is better soap or hand sanitizer, so they'll make the right decision on choosing which one to use when it comes time to clean their hands. With the rapid increase of diseases and the ease of which they spread, knowing what effectively kills the bacteria that lead to these diseases makes my topic timely. I care about this topic because this has been something that I've been wondering about for awhile. It's extremely convenient to just carry around a little bottle of hand sanitizer to use when need be, but is it really that effective? I've always questioned that if something is too easy, it's too good to be true. Back in high school, most of the assigned writings that I complete I felt like they were just assigned for busy work. Teachers had a curriculum to follow and just threw in random writing assignments in order to meet the criteria. But now in college, I've realized that it's all about me. Teachers in college are trying to bring the best out of people, and the best way for a student to excel is when they're doing something that they care about.
2) With my research so far, I've been able to find two contrasting viewpoints. One viewpoint is from the people who use soap and anti-bacteria soap religiously, while on the other hand, another group of people are plain lazy and prefer to use hand sanitizer over soaps.
3) One interesting thing that I've learned about my topic this week is that, in certain conditions hand sanitizers may actually increase the amount of bacteria instead of killing it. I've learned that one should not procrastinate when it comes to researching, a lot of information is out there but deciphering between what is useful or not takes a good bit of time.
