Scientific Writing vs. Science Writing

Scientific writing is different than science writing because scientific writing is very difficult to read whereas science writing is not. I feel as though science writing could be an article or story having to do with science, but regular people who have no knowledge about that specific area of science could understand it. On the other hand scientific writing can only truly be understood by the scientists themselves and others with great knowledge in that area. Scientific writing has a lot of numbers or data within it and long scientific words that no one’s ever heard of.

Sobriety Programs

No on ever thinks it could be him or her in the car when they drive by a car accident because we all think we're invincible until, of course, it does happen. This is especially true when it comes to young people and drinking. Sobriety programs try to educate people on alcohol and its effects on the human body. I think the reason programs like alcoholedu are not effective is because people think they already know everything there is to know about being safe with alcohol and that "the car accident" or "the hospital visit" will never happen to them.
