A simple cause and effect strategy method is to discusses the chain of events related to object or a person, and than showing what are the causes and what are the results. In this article, Steven Ashley widely uses this method to throughout and develops his point of views in the article. For instance, he mentions that: “by the 2000s, communication technology was added to the mechatronics, yielding products that could be connected in large networks...This development made function such as the remote operation of robotic manipulator arms possible.” In addition, he uses another example in cause and effect analysis method to tell the audience why mechatronics should be wields use in our daily life. He said that: “the early robotic arms, then unable to coordinate their movement and without sensory feedback…with the advances mechatronics sensor system…that made robots more flexible and thus more useful was then brought to bear on the design of new generations of high performance, adaptable machinery of all kinds.” From the examples above, we can clearly see that Steven Ashley use cause and effect analysis method to show audiences a chain of connected events to the each of the logical result of the one …show more content…
Steven Ashley continuous by discussing some of the reasons that why we need mechatronics in our daily life by using different appeals and strategies. What is more, throughout he piece, Ashley uses many strong sources that intensify his credibility call to ethos, as well as build her point of views. Those sources include, “ The basic idea is to apply new controls to extract new levels of performance from a mechanical device,” “Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers and ASME,” and the journal which is published by the University of California Berkeley. By citing these sources supports Ashley’s credibility by showing that he has done her research and has shown audiences facts and trues. In his research paper, he also uses his personal examples from his career teaching and study, in which can show that he has a first hand personal experiences base on this topic. In my opinion, he can improve by adding more comparison strategy for the reason that to show how subjects are alike and
