Lucero-Ulrich’s provides a thorough explanation of how stress and anxiety can affect learning. When one’s ability is affected by stress and anxiety, then there would be a change in the learners learning. In fact, “it [learning] depends on how the student achieves their adaptive mechanism… and the ability to cope with stress and to relieve anxiety varies from one person to another” (p. 1). The author illustrates the importance of adjustment in regards to the changing environment and the emotional effects of human body.

In “Bring Back Flogging”, Jeff Jacoby addresses the problems within America 's criminal justice system. He gives many reasons why imprisonment simply does not work, and suggests that corporal punishment should be used as an alternative. Published in the Boston Globe, a newspaper well known for being liberal, Jacoby provides a conservative view and directs his argument towards those who strongly support imprisonment and view corporal punishment to be highly barbaric and inhumane. However, in order to shed light on our current situation, Jacoby discusses the dangers that we face though our criminal justice system a nd shows concern that imprisonment is doing more harm than good. In effect, Jacoby looks to the past for solutions, and
Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.
When you see a solider in his or her uniform, you are proud that they are serving this country to protect our freedom, securing our country, and defending democracy worldwide. The solider can come from different branches of the Military. The one you might be familiar with is the U.S. Army. These soldiers are well respected and prepared to serve our country whenever and wherever needed, combat-ready at all times, and trained to counter any threat, anywhere. In 2007, the United States Army department published a recruitment ad for U.S.
For my third writing project, I have decided to create a research proposal, directed at the USC Rossier School of Education in order to get them to accept my dissertation examining the gentrifying effects of neighborhood preference in charter school lottery systems. This proposal is effective because it employs rhetorical strategies appropriate for the target audience – in this case, a committee of professors that are knowledgeable about the subject of the proposed dissertation. These rhetorical strategies include the structure of the document, stylistic choices such as academic diction and tone, and the choices regarding the content of the proposal.
Imagine the look on a veteran’s face as he notices players kneel in disrespect at the sound of the national anthem. Many fans and veterans were disappointed to see Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback in the NFL, refuse to stand while the national anthem was being played. Kaepernick’s actions insulted fans and hurt the sport. When America had no role in creating the racist tragedies, yet it is being disrespected for the incidents. The national anthem protests have not benefited democracy.

John Fire Lame Deer was a Sioux Indian tribal leader, medicine man, rodeo clown, and storyteller amongst other things. A selection from his autobiography Seeker Of Visions: The Life Of A Sioux Medicine Man titled “Talking to the Owls and Butterflies” is a short piece regarding nature and man’s relationship with it.

It's obvious to see that Saroo's brother, Montosh, suffers from a mental disability it is unclear of its exact diagnosis or what triggers his episodes, maybe prior mistreatment, but it causes him to physically harm himself. I believe that Chapter 2’s concepts of Attitude, Beliefs, and Values applies the most to his situation. Our attitude “is a learned predisposition to respond to a person, object, or idea in a favorable or unfavorable way” pg31, he can't seem to distinct or just according in his home after arrival. from the airport, he almost immediately goes into an episode 2 to either his confusion and his surroundings or the television itself. But even with his adoptive parents carefully tried to help him cope and deal with his episode he continues to
As today’s world increasingly turns towards new types of media to create and circulate meaning, the role of rhetoric is no longer confined to its textual or oral basis. Visual rhetoric expands beyond initial impression and contains deeper implications of existing power hierarchies, ideological messages, and cultural significance. As a result, theorists such as Irit Rogoff, Sue Hum, and Janice Radway aim to reevaluate the role of visuals in rhetoric. Irit Rogoff examines this shift in his work, “Studying Visual Culture.” Rogoff argues imagery is rhetorical because, “Images convey information, afford pleasure or displeasure, influence style, determine consumption, and mediate power relations” (15). Considering images elicit these responses by those who view them, it is assumed that culture shapes and is shaped by vision.
Advertisements are means of marketing communication companies especially big companies use to persuade their audience to buy their product, or to promote their products, using different rhetorical appeals. In this essay I will talk about two different companies’ Vivel luxury and Fiama Di Wills that sell similar products and how each company uses different rhetorical appeals to reach its audience.
After reading the email you sent us tonight, I’ve decided to write you this email. With what’s happening in our country right now, I just feel the need to let you know that I really appreciate you reaching out to us as well as sharing your thoughts and feelings. I have to say that it is very hard not to feel hopeless at the outcome of this election. However, I realized that no matter what, the strength and unity of those who are likeminded in loving, caring and open-minded will allow us to go through this together as a country. No matter what we can find our way back to humanity, and fight to protect the immigrants, LGBT, people of color, and the female communities. Personally, I’m still trying to make sense of it. I can’t wait for the in-class
Per your question, ‘give me a couple of examples of how this could be done in a church?’ One example and instance, when I served as Youth Pastor in Virginia. When I took over, the youth ministry did not exist. There was a youth choir and youth came together on occasions to do various events, but no viable youth ministry. After much prayer and the Pastors’ agreement, I set up a flow chart and during a church meeting, asked each department for assistance to help bring the youth together under one umbrella. This took several months to logistically work out, however, once it took effect, information began to flow from each department to help with no schedule conflict, the youth ministry grew from 2 to 120 youth, which
First and foremost, thank you for your military service. As a fellow service member I often feel that we don’t thank each other on a more personal basis.
An analysis happens when you evaluate something and then break it down and interpret it for your audience. When you analyze something, you are observing it and then deciding “this thing means this”. Many things can affect someone’s analysis, such as stereotypes, culture, and past experience. We often analyze things in our day to day life without even realizing.
Thank you for the talk with me last week. I've come to realize that the matter at hand has nothing to do with JT or Donna, but with Pastor Edwards. I'm meeting with Morry Kemple this week to talk about concerns regarding leadership that the deacons need to address for our church to move forward. I ask that you pray for the situation and pray for me, that if there be any pretense in me, it will be brought forward. Thank
