Blaz Rhetorical Analysis

Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.

The primary election for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is to be held Thursday, September 3, 2015. This momentous occasion happens every four years. The elected chief and officials, such as council members, can run for office for as long as they see fit, for there is no term limit. Our past chief, Michell Hicks, was in office three consecutive terms for a total of twelve years. This year Hicks has decided to step down and the new candidates for chief are Patrick Lambert and Gene “Tunney” Crowe. These new candidates must be able to fill the role of a generous and successful leader to those of the Cherokee nation. The platforms of both Lambert and Crowe are used to persuade the public to vote in their favor and are extremely versed in the

Lynn Everson’s (2014) presentation on prostitution and drug use within Spokane, was inspirational, and emphasized that all human beings are worthy of a healthy lifestyle, and deserve to be treated with care and respect. Everson works for the Needle Exchange program through Spokane Regional Healthy, and despite harsh criticism of the program she continues to be a strong ally, and advocate for the prostitutes and illegal drug users of Spokane. She has successfully connected to this population by providing unconditional support to those in need, and handing out free condoms and clean needles. Everson’s ultimate goal is to keep individuals healthy, and lower the risk of HIV and AIDS. The universal message is that individuals who are involved in prostitution and drug use, are human beings, and have the right to be safe in their daily lives, despite many individuals not believing this is a population that is worthy of rights.

In a world filled with war, violence, revenge, and opinions we are becoming a more divided society every day- an Us vs. Them society. With movements like Black Lives Matter it’s almost as though everyone has to pick a side and have an opinion on everything, every hot button topic. When two people don’t agree on something, one or both parties is going to try to convince the other that he/she is wrong and should agree with him/her. When one person does another wrong, he/she has to get revenge- he/she can’t let it go and forgive.

Corporates integrate themselves into the daily lives of their consumers by choosing social normalities solely for their selfish interest. Bartyzel in his article mentions how individual lives become normal without realization that those social changes are made by corporations for their own selfish benefits. She writes, “excessive repetition of Princess products, which encompassed everythingfrom pens to Band-Aids, had a significant effect on her daughter. It even informed how adults interacted with her child, offering ‘princess pancakes,’ pink balloons, and even a ‘princess chair’ at the dentist office” (Bartyzel 468). Pink color and princess dresses became normal thing and all girls are thought of having those similar interests. Another impact

Water metaphors are often used in public policy discourse as a way to help audiences understand immigration. It is important that the diction used in immigration discourse be studied because word choice is responsible for the context and understanding of various subjects. If audiences don’t dive deeper into metaphorical analysis, they may accept ideas as they are presented, rather than forming their own opinions of controversial topics. In this paper, I will argue that the use of the “flood” metaphor is not appropriate in immigration discourse because it equates immigration to a natural disaster and implies that the United States government has no control over immigration policy. To accomplish this task, I will be analyzing three articles written

Two major governmental systems that Larry Diamond asserts to be anti-democratic are “oil states” and “predatory societies.” According to Diamond, both of these have the potential to lead to overbearing leaders who take away basic human and civil rights. When evaluating these types of states he specifically turns his attention to Nigeria, Venezuela, and the Philippines. In order to prove his point that not all poor countries are inherently bound to have governments that hinder the development and spread of democracy, he looks at India, a nation that is relatively poor but has still managed to maintain a fairly high level of democracy.

Donald Trump and Franklin Delano Roosevelt both use anaphora, imagery, and antithesis to provide a better understanding and clarity for the audience. Donald Trump uses anaphora to connect with the audience. He frequently says, “We will…” which implies that he will not abandon the citizens while he is the president of the United States. Trump uses anaphora in this example to make the audience feel like he is on the same level as the common person rather than superior to them. Trump uses anaphora to comfort the audience. Franklin Roosevelt also uses anaphora to connect with and assure his audience that he will do what is best for the country. He says, “It can be helped by…” several times toward the end of his speech. He repeatedly says

This article was published in Fortune Magazine, and seems to be aimed at a mostly general audience. It uses separate styles and tones to engage the reader. The article assumes a basic knowledge of some technology, but keeps its concepts at a level that most people can grasp.

In addition to the drought, Zimbabwe suffers from hyper-inflation as a result of Mugabe's "reforms". He seized all of the farms from white farmers and redistributed them to his supporters. When Mugabe took power in 1980 after the British ceded control of the country, Zimbabwe was poised to be one of the world's most promising economies. Mugabe's policies have thrown the country into economic chaos, however, with its output less than half of what is was nearly 40 years ago.

Lack of health care is an issue that many people can have, but it will not be as shocking as how little medical help people in Zimbabwe have. People in Zimbabwe used to be able to get more medical treatments but as the population rapidly grew there economy decreased and they were forced to close many hospitals and clinics due to not having medical supplies. Today people in Zimbabwe continue to struggle with not having proper healthcare. Here in the United States people are able to get treatment for things like Aids and HIV. In Zimbabwe, people do not have access to the proper treatment they need. As a result, they die sooner then they should. If Zimbabwe continues to not have enough medical care, then their population will continue to decrease as their death rate increases. On the other hand, Zimbabwe is getting donations from different organizations and if more people donate money or supplies, they will be able to treat more people.

In 2015, the Zimbabwean government demonetized its dollar as a way to combat the country’s

Government of Zimbabwe introduced ESAP to the nation as a solution to production bottlenecks and unemployment. Zimbabwe then went to implement usual ESAP changes. Currency deregulation and devaluation, hight interest rates, price deregulation, reduction of social spending hit people and business sector hard. What made it worse, was the drought in the same year. In the next two years, agriculture economy sector fell by 7.5 percent, while consumer demand fell by 30%. This resulted in sharp wage fall. In addition to that, Zimbabwe was now heavily in debt to IMF and World Bank. This resulted in even more cuts on public services. This then resulted in worsening public health services and education.

Little has been documented on how Zimbabweans who left for other countries have helped in the development of Zimbabwe, especially after the year 2000 crisis. Zimbabwe’s ‘global citizens’ have been the major providers in aiding Zimbabwe for emergency and development, playing a constructive role in improving the lives of its citizens as a whole (Mbiba, 2005). They are able to provide for and give the relatives and friends they left behind, a better life through opportunities they have found in these ‘new homes’. These Zimbabwean ‘global citizens’ are able to provide for their families back in Zimbabwe during this crisis through the transferring of money, property buying, funeral insurance and more offered by service companies and agencies that link contact between borders. They are able to achieve this through academically qualified jobs, unqualified service jobs and informal trading markets. According to studies conducted in 2004 by the Home Office of the United Kingdom, Zimbabwean communities living outside their country “are likely to have on average, better academic qualifications than the host community and other African communities” (Mbiba, 2005:84). During the 2007-2009 major economic crisis in Zimbabwe it became harder to send money home because of the increased burden of shortages of basic commodities; remittances sent to relatives and friends in Zimbabwe were expanded to goods such as clothing, foods and other basics (Mukwedeya, 2011).
