In Cross’s opinion, she believes people are bamboozled by propaganda because they fail to recognize when they experience it (248). The thirteen propaganda methods Cross describes in this essay include the following: Name-Calling, Glittering Generalities, Plain-Folks Appeal, Arguementum Ad Populum (Stroking),

through the use of language and rhetoric devises. Under language, the diction or word choice,

In Grant-Davie’s article “Rhetorical Situations and Their Constituents” he quotes Bitzer who defined rhetorical situation as “a complex of persons, events, objects, and relations presenting an actual or potential exigence which can be completely or partially removed if discourse, introduced into the situation, can so constrain human decisions or action as to bring about the significant modification of the exigence” (350). Many articles in the news use rhetorical situations to have an effect on their audience to do something about the issue. Politics, for example, uses rhetoric to persuade the audience to take the side of an individual candidate or even battling companies will use rhetoric in articles about their products so that the public will choose them over a different company. Rhetoric can be found all over the news and while doing research I came upon the article “Are We Fracking Away our Health?” To analyze the rhetoric of this article, we must look at the exigence, audiences, constraints, and any unforeseen ramifications of the article.

Mudslinging is described as “the use of correct or incorrect insults or accusations against an opponent aiming to destroy their credibility or reputation.” Today, as seen in the election of 2016, mudslinging has become a huge part in the election process in voting for the President of the United States. Many people such as Donald Trump bashed Hillary Clinton into “the Mother of ISIS or a horrible lying United States Secretary of State,” because of her email and her Clinton Foundation. On the contrary, Hillary breaks down on Donald Trump to being “the lying, racist, businessman he really is,” because of his companies issues of fake bankruptcy and tax evasions. This can also go to show that mudslinging is not always have to be harsh, but it can swade someone’s vote which causes them to look at the other candidate as “bad” because of the reputation that the other candidate has “set up in flames.”

To truly comprehend a biblical passage, it is important to have knowledge of the ‘hermeneutics which enables an understanding of the locus of meaning and the principles of bible interpretation’ . The audience needs to have a clear interpretation of the biblical passage which includes ‘content and unity of the whole of Scripture if the meaning of the sacred texts is to be correctly worked out’ , this supports the argument that all worlds of the text are equally important. ‘Biblical passages are often taken out of context and interpreted to support a particular viewpoint of justify a particular action’ . It is imperative to note that ‘in order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their

4. Chapter 4: The Power of Context (Part One): Bernie Goetz and the Rise and Fall of New York City Crime “Context,” as described in chapter four, plays a role in all forms of success, including student success. It is a well-known statistic that children with higher marks in school generally come from stable families and home backgrounds and have good, reliable peers. The point that chapter four is trying to make is that these things are not always the reasons behind student success. When I first read chapter four, I didn’t fully understand the point that Gladwell was trying to make.

Social context is the indirect and direct influence of individuals that are in constant communication. It is basically a social environment in which people of different type lives. This environment influences the life of an individual and tells us how these people are influenced by their society i-e. a group of people sharing a same culture, tradition, religion or territory. It is all about how people of different classification differ from each other.

William Wallace – Contextualisation When in the middle ages did your personality live (low, high or late)? Briefly explain one event in this time. William Wallace lived in the high middle ages. During William Wallace's time Edward I of England had invaded Scotland, in 1296, this resulted in the First War of Scottish Independence. King Edward I faced rebellions for the next decade.

On Context by Joel Genter There is a large emphasis today on the context of extracted texts for debate and discussion. If approached properly, bringing up context can remove from the conversation texts and arguments that should not belong. However, it often is not approached properly and in fact discourages critical analysis of arguments and discredits texts that could contribute a great deal to important issues today. The definition of context is the situation in which an object can be found to have it’s fullest and most intended meaning.

Another way media frames political issues is inserting media’s own position on the issue. The media’s position tends to be more liberal and promotes more democratic policies and issues. This bias coverage stems from a long growing relationship between the media and liberal forces (Ginsberg, Lowi & Weir, 1999). However, any bias can distort new coverage and influence audiences in that direction.
