Rhetorical Analysis Of Fuel Intentions By Daniel Gross

Over 17 million cars and trucks are sold around the world every year. Amongst the plethora of car companies aiming to convince shoppers that their car is paramount, marketing teams ought to go the extra mile. By developing a persuading advertisement, companies are more likely to sell their products. On February 6, 2011, Volkswagen aired a Superbowl commercial for the first time in over ten years. This commercial would be one that awakens the inner child of millions. By employing pathos, ethos, and logos rhetoric techniques, Volkswagen is able to appeal to consumers in order to sell their new car.

Jobs and protecting the environment, important or not? George Will wrote his essay, “What Price Clean Air?” to convey the message that most of the Navajo Nation run and work at the power plants in Arizona, but as the growing change in protecting the environment, those Native Americans are forced to alter their livelihoods. George Will directs his essay to the American people, to persuade them to help find a change. Using the best equipment and spending billions of dollars on new technology may be affected by the uncertain environmental movement. With ethos, logos, and pathos, George Will effectively uses the rhetorical devices to convey his argument about the social and economic damage brought on by the federal government.

Yet, humans have limited control on natural events, so this only reinforces the importance of managing water wisely. Recently California’s government has begun to focus more on sustaining and restoring the water supply. Dale Kasler (2016) articulates in his article some of the steps they have decided to make to solve this serious issue. The government has made the following investments: “$415 million for watershed restoration and other environmental aid for Lake Tahoe; up to $335 million for two proposed reservoirs in California, including the Sites reservoir north of Sacramento; $880 million for flood-control projects on the American and Sacramento rivers in Sacramento; and $780 million for flood-control projects in West Sacramento” (para. 10). This could be the first step to restoring the water to California. But these

There are different ways people in the United States waste a lot of natural resources. For instance, just like Allen Billington claims, “We are wasteful people.” News programs and print newspapers show that in fact Americans are the greatest consumers of all. Every year trees around the world are cut down specifically for U.S. different purposes. Such as construction of houses, buildings, furniture, educational supplies, books, pencil and paper. Also, California is experiencing a drought, and some people knowing is becoming very scarce keep on wasting it. These are some of the causes on how people waste so much water, is either by taking long showers, washing their car, washing their hands, laundry and irrigation. In the news they say that the number one use of water in California is through irrigation. Lastly is the way we are destroying little by little the air we breathe through the pollution of cars, refineries, deforestation of fires and factories. All of these aspects have a negative effect on the change of the climate. The three different ways people in the United States are wasting natural resources is from cutting down of trees, the consumption of water in excessively amounts and lastly polluting the air we breathe.

On March 27, 2014, Wade Graham of the San Francisco Chronicle reported “The Water Revolution California needs.” California is having a severe drought. Wade Graham tells his readers that California is in a serious water crisis. The state of California needs to make strict changes to how water is being distributed amongst farmers and residents. Before all of California’s ecological system is destroyed. Wade Graham believes that water should be priced higher; that way people aren’t wasting water. Water is a limited resource that should never be wasted, and is probably California’s most valuable resource. Unfortunately, many people waste water; instead of conserve water especially when we live in the state of California where we are subject to

As a nation, we have to look at what the future would be for our children, their children and the generations ahead. We can start with participating in recycle programs, investing in clean energy and ways to reduce destruction of our forests." Without Americans constant need to consume, the environment would have plenty of time to replenish the resources it provide us." "NIEHS Environmental Coloring Book."

Water sustainability is an ever-growing problem because of the increase in population, and over consumption used by agriculture, industry, and domestic which are using more water than we are able to supply. According to CBS News, California’s water shortage has been a big issue since 2011. Climate change has a lot to do with the amount of water we have available to us because the amount we need does not cut out to the amount needed to satisfy the population. Therefore, conservation is key; we must take into consideration the amount we use in a daily basis. Both you and I can easily save water we have, directly and indirectly like what we consume with what we eat, buy and use, which would overall improve water sustainability.

In the article, “The Wrong Way to Think about California Water”, by Michael Hiltzik, Hiltzik writes about some people’s perspectives of the water usage in California. I disagree with some of them, but I also agree to some. I relate to one of the perspectives and I will try to stop doing what is wasting water.

It is an unscented, drab and non-harmful gas which has nature of expelling fire-causing components from the flares bringing about wearing out blazes inside couple of seconds. You more likely than not seen numerous reasons said once the fire happens in various parts of manufacturing plants however grieving a while later is of no utilization. The fire broke out in any bit of the factor isn't just financially destructive yet can acquire unforeseen defer organizations

In his article “Our Gas Guzzlers, Their Lives” Nicholas Kristof writes about Africa, specifically the country of Burundi. Crop failure and water shortage are causing or will cause all sorts of major problems. These environmental changes are linked directly to us, and the greenhouse gases emitted through non eco-friendly vehicles. Using the rhetoric tools of ethos, pathos, and logos he clearly makes his case of how essential it is to stop or at least reduce the carbon emissions we produce. Kristof has strengths and flaws in all his rhetoric tools especially in his pathos, and his ethos which is damaged by the setup of the article.

At some point in everyone’s lives, we are affected by the rising gas prices in today’s economy. Natural gas is not a renewable resource, since there is a fixed amount of it trapped in the Earth. However, many people carry the misconception that there is a very limited amount of natural gas, and that we may use all of it up. This isn’t true. The gas shortages of the 1970's were prompted by the government’s lack of faith in the industry’s ability to discover and develop new reserves, not by lack of gas supply. The unfortunate impression left by the shortages of gas in the 1970's caused the people to believe that there was a small amount of gas left. On the contrary, the gas resource base is vast, and probably even

Often in an individual’s life they run into situations or events that prevent them from obtaining the services and products that they need and/or desire. For instance, every year American citizens are turned away from hospitals, doctor’s offices, and pharmacies, unable to get an annual influenza vaccine. Recent gun legislation in the United States has created ammunition stockpiling within gun owners. (LoveToKnow, Corp., 2015) Furthermore the recent El Nino has created a heated debate on which California farms will get sufficient water this year. Each of the aforementioned examples illustrates how the scarcity of products and services can result in serious consequences (social, health, economic, and political) in the Unites States and model similar conditions globally. Around the world, clean water, food, fossil fuels, minerals, and other natural resources have developed limited availability or reached scarce status due to the demands of the growing human population. As the world’s population and demands to raise the quality of life grows exponentially, it is the ethical and moral task of the global community to define, implement, and educate the world on sustainable practices to prevent scarcity and limited availability that can hinder economic, environmental, and political progress of the global society presently and in the future.

Economic analysis that weighs all costs and benefits of a particular model must include environmental considerations. That is to say, the potential for short-term economic losses caused by conservation in the present, should be measured against the dividends that conservation will pay in the future (Nordhaus, 2007). If the earth is truly our most valuable commodity, then analysis under these conditions should recognize that if a “dollar value” were placed on environmental sustainability, more often than not it would outweigh any initial monetary loss resultant of the implementation of more sustainable practices.

When referring to Arizona’s water Kris Mayes, chairwoman of the state’s utility regulatory panel once said, “How do you say just how valuable water is in an arid state like Arizona?” she said. “It’s like the credit-card commercial-it’s priceless” (McKinnon). She was right, because in a dry state like Arizona, water is pretty important. To say water is ‘pretty important’ for the world is an understatement. We use water to function. And when we think of water we think of saving it. Keep the faucets from dripping or turn off the water while brushing your teeth. There are numerous tips for water conservation, but people don’t often think of the damage that is already done. Damages like ‘dead zones’. Dead zones in the ocean have been around for

In today’s society, the idea of a limited resource is not a foreign concept. Most people understand that eventually humans will use up many of these resources, such as fossil fuels, and they will cease to exist. However, very rarely does a conversation about limited resources get started over the water. While water itself is not a limited resource, clean drinkable water is becoming scarcer as people continue to use excess water. The documentary “Last Call at the Oasis” highlights how precious water is to survival and just how much miss use of water occurs in the United States alone. Even though the United States has gone down the wrong path with its water consumption methods, it may not be too late to recover. With the proper systems and education in place, the chances of delaying a water crisis increase exponentially.
