Rhetorical Analysis

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.

The refugee crisis is a hotly debated and controversial topic all over the globe relevant to today. The rising number of refugees arriving in the European Union has significantly increased throughout the past few years. The controversy comes from not the refugees themselves, but from where they are emigrating from. Coming from extremely hostile and dangerous countries operated by the Islamic State militants, there is a sense of hysteria from the opposing side saying that there are risks that need to be factored in when accepting such a large amount of people from places where there are high concentrations of terrorism into their home countries. On the other side of the argument, the advocates for refugees are proclaiming that as humans we have moral obligations to give the quintessential helping hand to humans whenever one is in need, regardless of their situation or circumstances. Through social activism these proponents are seeking to

Now across the other side of our globe in Middle East Syrian refugees have fled their country due to continuous attacks on them. Among those escaping the conflict, the majority have sought refuge in neighboring countries or within Syria itself. Some countries are Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq. These refugees have been able to adapt to their new community (country) faster since their identity is similar to the people living in the country. But what raised awareness to all the refugee crisis is when people found a lifeless 3-year-old boy lying face down on a beach in Europe. Ever since this event people all over the world have been more aware of the identity of Syrian refugees. People have noticed that Syrian refugees are the citizen like the rest of us, but they have not been treated like it, instead, they have been called as `terrorists`, and elsewhere ‘a burden on economy’. All over the world citizens from different countries including Canada have been donating food, clothes, and other necessities. As a community, we can respect and stand up for other identities and together we can create an enabling environment for them in the

McDonald-Gibson’s Cast Away closely reports the moving accounts of five refugees journey to Europe. Her narrative style offers the reader a chance to be face to face with real people. People who have similar lives to us, but in situations we can never imagine. However, there is a political and social undertone. The author promotes empathy and better policy. She argues that Europe’s closing of borders and retraction from international treaties is a mockery of liberal ideas, such as freedom and tolerance. Europe’s pursue of nationalism has segregated and divided the region into different ethnicities and political ideologies. Although Germany has promised to show tolerance due to their historical background, as the world comes to the realization

Thousands of migrant refugees attempt the trying trip across the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey that leads them to Greece, in hopes of finding a home in Europe. The survivors that make it to Greece still face great struggles. Services and resources are minimal. There is a certain level of resentment by people who feel burdened by the refugee needs for medical care, jobs, housing and many other resources. Residence of Europe see this as a threat to their economies, but many would argue that Europe's Refugee Crisis Isn't about Economics, but about Culture. It is no secret that the flooding of Syrian refugees creates cultural tensions. Many European nations have stated that they aren’t willing to welcome many immigrants, in the midst of the current crisis. The resistance has been the most vocal in Central Europe. An emergency quota system was announced, aimed at dispersing the refugees throughout EU member states. 22 participating states are entailed to open their borders to an astonishing 160,000 people. In an effort of assimilation, the newcomers, are expected to learn the language, and culture of the European host nation. Some leaders are even going as far as invoking contrasting customary fears that lay within the Islamic belief system with the increase of Muslims in Europe to inspire anti-immigration. Many feel threatened by a majority- Muslim possibility. They are frightened of a change in

The European migrant crisis has drawn world wide attention as hundreds of thousands of refuges have abruptly left their home countries and risked their lives not knowing what lies in front of them. However the crisis is also affecting several countries across Europe who is scrambling to determine how to properly care for migrants. I feel deeply about the crisis in the sense thousands have died due to the lack of planning and understanding of the concept. It is my belief that with necessary knowledge and formal leadership, countless lives could be saved.

This essay will critically evaluate a number of articles on the refugee/ migrant crisis, demonstrating why the The Guardian article by an anonymous Syrian refugee was the most compelling and convincing argument. Before I begin this essay I would like to first elucidate the crisis specifically in Europe. It has been estimated that 650,000 migrants have arrived by sea this year so far, according to the International Organisation of Migration. Out of each 20 asylum applicants in the EU-27, 5 were minors, 11 were young adults aged between 18 and 34 and the remaining 4 persons were aged 35 and older.

Raging wars, political disputes, and economic recession are several of the many things that has been troubling the people of the world since 1939. Ever since from then, countless lives had to be spare for the life we own today. Nonetheless, migration of these people was inevitable; they needed to look for a place to stay, to be safe, and to be able to survive for their children’s sake and for themselves. In recent 20 years back, the approach of handling these ‘aliens’ has been acceptable but in some cases unforgivable due to globalization. The technology growth and the advancement of communication options has made traveling a more pleasant thing rather than an obstacle. Some were probably believe that they would have a better chance in other places as their own does not show a promising future for them to survive. Nevertheless, although efforts were made, there are still some that does not abide to the motion; to provide help to those who are in need; they choose to become preserved -- prompting the question, why? Helping people is a nature that we human have carried for many generations; it’s a fact but, can we provide the proper necessity to actually be a help towards them? Who is to blame here? Should all the countries join forces to help the migrants and refugees, regardless of their origin? The answers are discussed over two different articles of different source. In the article, “Scandinavians Split over Syrian Influx,” Hugh Eakin asserts attention that helping

The world is facing the largest refugee crisis since world war 2 with over 60 million people displaced worldwide and nearly 20 million refugees in circulation. Syrian refugees are fleeing the battle grounds which they once called home, engaging in desperate measures that risks their life daily, in a desperate attempt to better their lives and be safer in neighboring countries. The refugee crisis could not continue at the rate in which it was going, something had to be done urgently (Kusher). As a response to the crisis, the refugees welcome movement campaign was innovated and soon spread across the world like a wildfire. The refugees welcome movement addresses the humanitarian crises engulfing millions of refugees throughout the world. There slogan “humanity should have no borders” has enlightened and ignited, an insight to a new stream of consciousness, that previously was unprecedented, reframing the cognitive mindset of inhabitants within the European boarders towards the Syrian refugees.

Under international law, refugees were not allowed to be forced back to the countries they have fled. A refugee was commonly known as someone who has been proved for having fear of being victimize for reasons such as religion, membership of a particular social group outside his or her country and was incapable to gain protection from their country. Usually, refugees were forced to escape their home, often leaving almost all their belongings behind. Thus, resulting them to be poor. They would walk miles to in-search for safety. However, ever if they have arrived safely at their destination, they were still being left without food, water, shelter and medical care. In addition, there will be no certainty that they will be allowed to reside on. It is thus paramount to examine the serious issues on the significantly increment of the statistics of refugees. My essay will now focus on the following three reasons which consist of war or civil

Asylum seekers and refugees are often on the frontlines when it comes to navigating through the complicated realities created by the EU and its Member States. As such, asylum seekers and refugees are often put into a position where their displacement serves as the foundation for the continuance of displacement; whether that be legal, political or social.
