133 The World Cup Lander Analysis

Child labor has been a worldwide dilemma, though laws and set regulations can be executed to make sure child labor is contained and seen as a positive growing for children. In the speech by Florence Kelley she uses three very important rhetorical devices to boost and enforce her main focus that child labor must be regulated and monitored so that all children are safe and not overworking themselves. Kelly uses Pathos, Logos, and Rhetorical questions as her foundation to build upon her executive conclusion. Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. In the speech given by Kelley she projects her usage of pathos in the first opening paragraph.

Although, the author has written this book in a very humorous way and used sarcasm in certain instances that makes a person smile while reading it, however many serious issues such as the acceptability of globalization, how it has caused what the author defines as an “American cultural cleavage” and why overall globalization failed are being discussed. The tone of the author has generally been subtle and like mentioned before, he has used humor to lighten up the mood. The strategy of using a friendly tone, using professional language and difficult vocabulary and combining it with sports to address a serious problem makes this writing very interesting and persuading but, soccer is perhaps a topic too narrow to represent

Thesis: Soccer is a sport like no other, and it has a very unique culture with in the game itself.

The culture of soccer is more than just articles written in sport pages, or rumors about players been transferred from one club to another. It includes a bigger picture that covers many different social, political and economic aspects of the game. In countries where the sport is not that relevant, people refer to it as soccer. In others where the sport is very popular and has been around for a long time, it is referred to as football. When it comes to the sport, there are two very different ideas relevant to how people view it. In said countries where soccer is the national sport, the game is viewed as if it can achieve anything; from having just fun with your friends to helping unite people from around the world. In other countries where the sport is not as much popular, the game is seen as boring and is looked down on. This paper will explore how soccer is growing at such a rapid pace despite the fact that it can be viewed as violent and boring.

Soccer, or football to most of the world, has been one of the oldest sports in the history of the world. It is by far the most viewed, played, and biggest attendance sport throughout the countries, with the exception of the USA. Being the biggest sport in the world means having the biggest fan base as well. This sport has become as close to many fans hearts just as the bible can change people who read it. In this paper, the reader will understand how soccer has changed throughout the years, what the ideals of a unified code are in this sport, as well as the differences and similarities between youth and professional.

The incorporation of pathos in an argument can form a strong structured reading or a make the reader feel emotionally taken advantage of. In Hooks argument she uses pathos effectively, without exploiting readers of her article. She states, "estrangement from nature and engagement in mind/body splits made it all the more possible for black people to internalize white-supremacist assumptions about black identity" (973). Hooks uses this sentence to appeal to those who have experienced a loss of identity to feel for the blacks. Also, the citation brings a desirable topic up of unity within different race and cultures, which adds more reason for the reader to be persuaded to her side of the argument: the emotional pull of how blacks were treated even away from their normal ways of living.

Pathos is used in the article to “tug at the heartstrings” of those who watch football and do not know of the effects it has on the players or their families. It is also used to inform others of C.T.E and how it effects the body. Pathos is defined as, “frequently translated as some variation of ‘emotional appeal’, but it originally referred to the elements of speech that appealed to any of an audience’s sensibilities.” (Sproat, 2012) An example of this is when The Editorial Board refers to the families of people with C.T.E and the children that have an interest in playing tackle football. “As tens of thousands of football players, from professionals to peewee league children, head to summer training camps across the nation, there is new and compelling evidence linking the

When I read this text I do not have any emotional connection, which is why I believe this article does not use pathos.

One example of how Brady uses pathos to connect emotionally with the readers is in paragraph two. In paragraph two Brady writes,”Why do I want a wife?”(Brady 229), she writes this not as a serious statement, but as a sarcastic one. She writes it sarcastically to show readers that she is a women so she doesn’t really have any desire to have a wife, but to show the crazy ideas men have and expect their wives to do.

The effective rhetorician uses pathos to evoke emotions from the audience. The object then is telic. Through pathos, the rhetor compels the audience to react—or respond—in a particular fashion that is based on feeling and sentiment. Taking the election results as a referent, author Gail Collins becomes the agent who uses her article—Always Look on the Bright Side Finding Good News in the Election Results—as commentary to direct “the audience’s emotional engagement” toward a satirical sense of comfort and relief in spite of the election results (Hauser, 2002, p. 168).

The idea of identity and its formation has always been a fundamental aspect of humanity. For centuries academics and philosophers have argued about what identity means, how it is constructed, and how it affects one’s life. While identity as a whole can be an extremely complex idea, this essay will discuss it as simply a method of defining oneself by a set of characteristics or ideologies. The growth and widespread impact of soccer over the last century has had an incredible impact on the world, and its popularity had diversity has allowed millions to develop their own identities surrounding their relationship with soccer. When one examines the qualities of soccer, it is understandable that it could be instrumental for identity formation. Soccer provides an uncomplicated path towards self-identity through supporting teams, serves as a persistent chain of events, and creates defined boundaries for collective groups to form.

Pathos, which means emotional appeal, involves persuading the reader by appealing to their emotions. Authors use pathos to install sympathy into the reader. Pathos would be commonly used to draw pity from the reader.

In Mike Rose’s “I Just Wanna Be Average,” he argues that educational placements stereotypes negatively affect one’s performance. Rose was placed in the vocational program in school, thereby his attitude towards his education was to just get by. He was later placed in a higher level class where he struggled to keep up with, until a professor helped him see the amount of potential Rose had and that’s where his confidence went up, along with his grades. Rose supported his argument with techniques such as ethos, pathos, and attention to detail.

Soccer is a game that millions of people around the world have enjoyed for centuries. While not the largest or the most popular, the hobby has seen a constant and stable amount of fans and followers. Unfortunately much of this fandom originates from outside the United States and there is a concerning amount of questionably-american individuals that turn to soccer to relieve their need for entertainment - and yes, they watch it too. This, of course, puts soccer at odds with most American people, because it is the most boring, degenerate and un-american pastimes in our history. It is not just a game, it is the evidence of a demographic shift towards the third world.

The idea of racism in English Football, particularly the Premier League, is nowhere near as old as racism in England or the rest of the United Kingdom for that matter. However, the Premier League is often times considered the world’s best league when it comes to football and draws the best talent from around the world. In the recent years, the league has seen a sizeable influx of players from outside Britain and Ireland, which shows a reflection of an increasingly commercialized game with a global reach. These incredible players are put on center stage week in and week out throughout England on the biggest public arenas and draw millions of faithful supporters to their home club’s stadium. However, even with an increase in the number of foreign-born players, racism is still very prevalent in the ever-growing sport. The reality is that football represents one of the tapestries onto which social achievements and problems, claims and counterclaims are ritually etched. The growing awareness of how racism is connected to football functions through a complicated framework which reveals it as a problem which is very much “out there” in wider society today. Racism does touch the game of football, its players, officials, and their millions of supporters and reinforces the notion that racism is still very ubiquitous in an England that is often times considered diverse and accepting.
