Main Argument- Big data analytics should be seen as an advantageous system, due to the fact it can give us answers that we have been striving to find.
Claim 1- Big data can help us detect diseases, and do it in a way where we can treat them in the earliest stages of development.

Claim 2- Big data allows the collaboration of nurses from many different parts of the US and the world.

My recursive process was on a google doc so there is not a picture of it, but the information in the document is up above. My recursive process for this essay actually helped me quite a bit. This was a very broad topic and the recursive process helped me narrow down my topic a little bit more to make the writing easier. I started by deciding that I wanted to focus on big data in the nursing field. From there, I looked for sources that covered that topic, and determined what claims that each of the sources made. After seeing all of the different claims that were made, I tried to find claims that were similar in each of the sources that I found. My recursive process really helped me determine what I wanted my main three claims to be and it also helped me figure out which sources I was going to use in which point. I liked doing this activity because it was a very organized recursive process and without it I feel like my first draft would have been all over the place and very confusing to my readers. Luckily, I found a way to structure my draft and make it understandable. Once I was done with my first draft, I took colored markers and used one for each source that I integrated into my paper. By doing this, it allowed me to see which sources I took too much information from, as well as which sources I needed more information from. It also helped me see where I needed to include more of my input into the paper, whether it be a claim, an explanation, just something that established my standpoint on the topic.
