According to strategies discussed in Chapter 4 of the textbook, post a message in which you explain
the techniques you will use for your introductory paragraph and why they might be effective for you.
Then write or revise your introductory paragraph using the techniques you have chosen. Post your
introduction along with your explanation.
During the week, respond to others’ introductions and explain what you think they did well.
Also, offer some advice for revision. You may also offer counterarguments by explaining how
someone might disagree with their view.
In the introductory paragraph, I want to be able to grasp the attention of the audience. In addition,
making sure that some background information is stated about the subject. Also, not to be overly
opinionated or passionate because this may affect the readers or audience. In addition, a well-written
thesis to state the argument of the essay.
My introduction paragraph:
Should a rise in ADHD diagnosis raise questions? The CDC, Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, (2020), a well-known government entity, define ADHD as one of the most common
neurodevelopmental disorders, that is initially diagnosed in childhood (para. 1).
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), that has been described as a childhood-onset
developmental disturbance of children and adolescences (Banaschewski et al., 2017). Not only, describe
as a common, early onset, developmental disorder of children, it is becoming increasingly well
recognized worldwide. There is a global trend of its diagnosis making it an area of growing interest in
physicians. The sudden and unneeded rise is a growing trend in ADHD diagnosis driven by over-
diagnosis, misdiagnose, and gender influence diagnose.
Topic 7 DQ 2
It is important to distinguish between your perspective and other perspectives regarding your
commentary topic. What are some of the other perspectives you see? Summarize them briefly. Next,
summarize your own perspective. In what ways does your perspective differ from other perspectives?
Why is your perspective different?
Some of the other perspectives I seen on ADHD is treatment and medication. There are some that are
with treatment and some that are against treatment this goes the same for medication. There are many
who are against medicating a child to control his or her behaviors and seeking other alternatives. For
example, placing a child on a Feingold diet to evaluate if symptoms decrease without the use of
psychotropic medication.
My perspective is that children are more frequently diagnosed with ADHD even if they do not meet the
entire criteria. Once they become diagnosed then mental health professional prescribe the child
medication to control behaviors such as: hyperactivity or impulsivity. My perspective and other
perspective maybe different or similar because this is our opinion. An opinion is neither right or wrong
unless it is proven and support with scholarly resources.
