Group Three Intro
According to research shown on Dr. Jantz's website, www.overcominggambling.com, there are a few key red flags that tell you if a person is addicted to gambling. Higher bets, long gambling sessions, and depression are just a few. An addiction like this doesn’t get as much publicity as others would like alcoholism and drug abuse because one would think the consequences are more serious with them. One would be dead wrong though. Gambling addiction is a psychological disorder and is just as bad or even worse than those addictions. People with this addiction need to get help before time runs out. Some of the most popular and most successful ways to get help are attending a support group, spending time with people who do not like gambling, or seeing a counselor.

This was a very good paragraph. To me, it flowed very well and kept my attention. My mother actually suffered from this, and I went to a few of her classes that she was attending to help fight the addiction. So this was more interesting for me than maybe to others.You had good key facts regarding this issue;Although, there could have been more, I think. I also like how you have the website in there, not only to show your resource but for people to reference.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicole, the flow was the best of the six groups. Using validated information/statistics as an attention getter helps to make the reader take your topic seriously. Very good point that society tends to push gambling problems to the back burner; it can easily lead to many other issues.
ReplyDeleteI like how you cite a statistic at the beginning, include some information, and then write a clear thesis statement. I agree with Matt D. that this was the best I've read so far! Great job.
