‘A text of timeless appeal is marked by effective construction of rhetoric to support its main ideas.’

To find a piece that is currently looked upon as a paragon of rhetorical strategies, scholars would look towards President Abraham Lincoln’s “Second Inaugural Address”. This speech was given at the start of his second presidential inauguration with the purpose of establishing his point of view on the war and its effects. To elaborate his thoughts and hopes for the future of the United States of America, Lincoln’s “Second Inaugural Address” is riddled with rhetorical strategies such as installation of self-credibility, deliberately designated diction, and carefully supplemented repetition to succeed in his desire to sway the audience towards his views.

In the passage "Last Child in the Woods" by Richard Louv. He expresses his concern for the seperation occuring between people and nature. To support his argument he uses the rhetorical strategies of imagry and rhetorical questions to convince his readers.

While personal stories and historical references played a major role in developing her message, Kamenetz also uses rhetorical questions in the excerpt. She questioned why “everything America has always its children no longer holds true” (Kamenetz 732) and how things would turn out if people of the generation “does worse than our parents” (Kamenetz 733). The questions allow the reader to think about her claims and accusations as they progress through the excerpt. She addresses a young adult audience who are experiencing the same problems, and accuses the older generation as the source of the problem as a means to allow readers to recognize the reality of the situation.

Erik Ravenscraft wrote this editorial to inform average computer using people about the dangers of internet privacy. Ravencraft wrote about this because ever since the computer became a mainstream device people have been stealing information and passcodes. In his editorial Ravenscraft uses many Rhetorical Devices, a couple of those Devices are Logos and Ridicule. Ravenscraft uses these Devices to strengthen his opinion when he talks about the number of people getting hacked and how securing data does not work like people think it does.

SOPA, PIPA, and CISPA: though different, these bills were all presented with a similar goal in mind. These bills were intended to stop the digital copyright infringement of American intellectual properties, mainly in foreign countries, but the overly vague wording in the bills made it hard to decipher their real intentions (Yu). For a multitude of reasons, these bills were staunchly protested not only by American citizens, but they also received protest from numerous international groups (York). Though some may argue that SOPA, PIPA, or CISPA may have had some value, they did not have the intended result of ending digital theft, but rather invigorated a retaliating movement. The main

We’ve all heard of a rhetorical question. But have you heard of the rhetoric of freedom? The word rhetoric means the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the use of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. The key words in the previous sentences are “use of figures of speech” and figures of speech are known as rhetorical tropes. This is why throughout this essay you will see “rhetoric freedom” in quotations.

The preface and the introduction are broken in subparts with the preface starting by the narration of how the book was intended, put together and evolved in the 2nd edition, and who participated in the process. In the consequent subparts, authors introduce a rhetorical tool named “they say/ I say” around which the book will progress, authors elaborate on the usefulness of the templates and defend the use of the first pronoun “I” through the direct explanations and by answering to the critiques. The authors argue that use of templates will introduce the unseasoned writers to rhetoric techniques that they will be able to modify and expand on its own as they become more savvy writers. In Addition, authors suggest that the prohibition of the first pronoun “I” will not eliminate the subjectivity from the text but will hinder the learning of the mentioned pronoun’s proper use. The preface is finalized by reminding that the book is intended to teach logical principles of the argument by the practice of discussion.

Today, society is affected by the many advances in technology. These advances affect almost every person in the world. One of the prevalent advances in technology was the invention and mass use of the Internet. Today more than ever, people around the world use the Internet to support their personal and business tasks on a daily basis. The Internet is a portal into vast amounts of information concerning almost every aspect of life including education, business, politics, entertainment, social networking, and world security. (idebate.com) Although the Internet has become a key resource in developing the world, the mass use of Internet has highlighted a major problem, privacy and the protection of individual, corporate, and even government

How would you feel if I told you that I know almost everything there is to know about you – from your occupation to the brand of toothpaste you use, from your IQ to your culinary tastes, and so on – even though you have never met me, and possibly were not even aware of my existence? Most people would immediately state that they would feel violated, stripped of their individuality. Yet millions of people browse the Net day after day, blissfully ignorant of the fact that that they are always being monitored by someone to some degree. By selling you items and/or services, Amazon.com knows your reading preferences; your favorite online grocery store knows what kind of toothpaste you prefer; your university knows

Ph.D Cynthia Andrzejczyk, author of The Progressive Writing Text, dove into the world of the five freedoms and Internet security. During the first month of a new year in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech on the Four Freedoms to the 77th Congress of the United States of America (Andrzejczyk 64). Roosevelt’s four freedoms became the lifeline of every citizen. Each of these freedoms have become a basic human fact. These freedoms became the backbone of the United States and are also included in the “United Nations Declaration of Human Rights” (64). All citizens have been given the chance to make their own decisions and increase their quality of life. Everyone is given the tools to be able to achieve each of their dreams, gain more knowledge and globally expand networks.

Technology is growing faster than ever before right now. And along the way technology invented items we now take for granted such as the telephone, the television, and the internet. Since the advent of the internet our world has become more connected by allowing users from the comfort of their own home to interact with people anywhere in the world. The internet has become a staple in the everyday life of the American. We use it to learn, reconnect with long lost friends, and so much more. But what happens when big service internet providers push to control what websites you can visit? Groups such as Save the Internet, the American Civil Liberties Union, and even the president Barack Obama have advocated for a free and open internet, which is also known as net neutrality. I believe net neutrality is vital to our modern day life in America. This is why I want to propose an amendment to keep the internet free. The amendment shall read: “The internet shall remain free and open and not be subjected to restrictions determined by internet service providers.”

This course has been about making good arguments and evaluating their effectiveness. The debate on the government’s role in regulating the internet is filled with many different opinions and viewpoints. I will need the knowledge I have gained in this course to sort through these claims, and create my own arguments. The title of Chapter 27 in “Everything’s an Argument” is “How Has the Internet Changed the Meaning of Privacy?” The chapter discusses many parts of the internet and privacy, including government surveillance. My topic goes further than just government surveillance: should the government actually regulate information from the internet? The internet has become an integral part of our society, and many of us will use it
