A Rhetorical Analysis Of Amazon. Com

Throughout the semester, Kathleen Parker has used various strategies that repeated in multiple articles. Most of the strategies were commonly used to boost her credibility to help her persuade the audience. Although there were a large variety of topics discussed in her essays, Parker uses similar strategies to develop those topics.

The article, “Amazon.com Is a 21st Century Deal with the Devil” from Amy Koss, published by Los Angeles Times on June 4, 2017. The death of the American mall is avoidable. It is avoidable by promoting it on the Amazon website, or it is also avoidable by closing down the website. Even if none of this happens, there will always be people who are not lazy enough to get up and go to the mall. There are also a lot of people in the world who do not know about the website amazon.com. For those who do not, it means they go to the mall instead of shopping online.

In the article, “Amazon.com is a 21st century Deal with the Devil” the author Amy Koss makes her piece an argumentative writing. She tries to persuade the reader that the company, Amazon, is cruel and untrustworthy. The author states,”They’re offering deals and deeper discounts, closing branches, consolidating staff, trying to fend off the inevitable. According to the feds, there have been 60,000 retail jobs in just the last two months.” I disagree with the author’s statement and believe that Amazon is just doing what they have to do, so they can make money and build a stronger business. It isn’t exactly Amazon’s fault that other businesses are closing making people loses their jobs. The other businesses must have their prices very high, making

The supply chain management is considered as a management concept from past two decades as the customers are concerned about timely and safe delivery. The competitiveness has been increasing among the companies to deliver the products as quickly as possible to the customers all around the world. This has made the supply chain management as a vital tool for the management. This is also measured as a competitive parameter for the companies.

Verizon Wireless is a big time cell phone company in which for years now, has been widely regarded as the top of competition. Which include companies such as at&t, sprint, and T-Mobile. While there are many other companies these are seen as the tops of competition in regards to others. Verizon in many of its commercials use a variety of rhetorical tactics to persuade you to believe they are truly the best in service. These tactics include providing coverage maps, using colorful balls in which compare between the four companies, and using written text stating facts about their coverage and overall service. While verizon may be the top in service all around I do believe some things are a little stretched.

I saw a comercial for Toys R Us on one of the TV's they had ,in the electronics department, and it said that they were hiring people to work at one of thier locations. They used bright colors to attract peoples attention and also a professional spokesperson to read thier message for them. It stated that working there would provide money above minimum wage and would provide good benefits. I think they said that to get peoples attention. It definitely caught my attention because at the time I was looking for a job. The audience was anyone who heard it and needed a job. It was made to inform and persuade people to work there instead of other places.

Beyond Amazon’s core markets of electronics and media, Amazon is making a big impact in the retail market. Analyst John Blackledge believes, “Amazon will become the largest retailer of apparel and accessories in the U.S. market next year, passing Macy 's as the leader” (Deagon, 2016, para. 2). Amazon announced that they will be launching their own private label dress shirts for men and expand into dress pants, sports clothing, and sweaters. In addition to that, Amazon has plans to open small retail stores at malls to showcase their electronic devices and hardware devices (Deagon, 2016).

In times that we can basically can get anything on-line in a press of a key, I would like to let you guys know that Blossom is registered in the AmazonSmile program.

Good day and thank you for contacting the Customer Experience Group. I do apologize for the inconvenience this Connect apps (MHE Connect) issue has brought you.

Almost every inhabitant of the Colombian Amazon has an interesting story to tell about their home, which is one of the most amazing places in the world. The Amazon provides survival experiences, exotic food, extreme recreation, and a unique livelihood to all those who have lived there. However, the character and future of many has also been shaped by a context of poverty, harsh violence, restricted opportunities, geographical disparities and gender inequity. Almost everyone who has loved and lived under the magic of the Amazon has also lost loved ones. Many have died there, either by direct armed conflict or by the weakness of the State regarding law enforcement and insufficient ability of services to meet basic needs.

In the last decade, Amazon has grown exponentially. Many people believe the seven hundred and thirty-nine billion dollar company controls America. The definition of a monopoly is “the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.” If Amazon falls under the category of a monopoly, then Amazon would control America, therefore proving the company has too much power. If Amazon is not considered a monopoly, then this does not disprove the power of Amazon; It just means that the power that Amazon holds is legal. E-commerce has also become popular in today’s world, and Amazon dominates it. No one comes close to catching up with the company, as it will most likely always be owned by Amazon. The closest competitors Walmart, Ebay, and Apple combined do not even compete with the revenue that Amazon brings in through e-commerce. Amazon has destroyed more jobs in the United States than they have created. They also destroyed more jobs than China has in the United States, which is a problem. One company has a lot of control in creating or losing jobs to the U.S economy, and that is a scary

In certain circumstances it is not appropriate to tailor products to specific racial groups. The notion of separating clothing products often leads to cultural appropriation. Once one racial group copies the mannerisms and ideations of another racial group there becomes a great deal of controversy. However, certain products need to be tailored to African Americans. For instance, Shea Moisture and Carol’s Daughter which are hair products tailored specifically to the African American population. These products tailor to the kinkiness of Black hair which many White’s do not experience. Nevertheless, there becomes a hypocritical rhetoric when one is comfortable with certain companies use of racial segregation and not others. For example, when White

The article, “Amazon.com Is a 21st Century Deal with the Devil”, by Amy Koss talks about how Amazon.com and other online stores are ruining our economy. I disagree with the authors claim because many shops and malls are still in business. Most people only use Amazon and online stores when they can’t find a certain product, or when they need something delivered quickly. Malls and shops are still very popular and are used in most people’s everyday life. The article states, “I count 11 deserted shops at Eagle Rock mall. The ghosts of their signs appear eerily above their chained doors.”. The authors observation doesn’t prove anything, this was just one mall out of many.

Amazon is a multinational consumer electronics company and the largest Internet Company in the United States as of November 2014. The company also sells a great deal of other consumer goods. Amazon operates in three general segments: media, electronics and other merchandise. In the media segment, Amazon competes with auction site eBay, media game-changer Netflix, Time Warner Cable, Apple, with iTunes; Google with its Play Store and media producer Liberty Interactive.

The general argument made by amy Koss in, “Amazon.com is a 21st century deal with the devil,” is that Amazon is evil. More specifically, she argues that Amazon kills businesses. She writes, “First came the massacre of specialty and small, independent bookstores,” (Koss 2). In this passage, Amy Koss is suggesting that Amazon is responsible for the failure of other businesses. In conclusion, Koss’ belief is that Amazon should be held responsible for the failure of competing businesses.
