In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.

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

In the highly controversial movie, Concussion, released in movie theatres nationwide on December 15th 2015, starring Will Smith, the story addressed people on the severity of football concussions and the discovery of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Players of the NFL were having a great number of concussions. Doctors were mad about this unexplainable phenomenon. Parents were concerned about the safety of their children playing football. After the discovery of CTE, in Mike Webster by Dr. Bennet Omalu in 2002, the controversy of CTE really began its uproar. The NFL's Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) Committee refuted this research. They accused Omalu of lack of knowledge and did not want to believe that forceful contact in football

From two perspectives, we see a world plagued by the ignoble aspects of human nature. Through one set of eyes we are shown the global ecosystem imitating the opening motions of a mass extinction, through another we see the inevitable and hellish effects of culturalized greed. In both cases we are treated to the observations of an aggrieved observer, but the means by which these observers show us their perspective on the world are by no means identical. Here we will explore the strategies, expressions, argumentations, and appeals of two authors with intertwining stories to tell.

The show I am reviewing is House MD, specifically episode 2 in Season 2. The two ways the doctors in House MD exemplify good doctor practices is through their observational skills and ability to collaborate. To give a quick overview, Dr. House is a diagnostician who is presented with a new case every episode. Initially, Dr. House and his team write all the symptoms that the patient presents with, and then they collaborate and discuss possible diagnoses. At first, they believe that the 9 year old patient has terminal cancer. However, the patient appears to be too complacent with the fact that she is going to die; this leads to Dr. House questioning if this bravery is actually a symptom. Because of his observational skills and inclination not to discount any possible symptoms, Dr. House discovers that the patient must have a clot caused by the surgery to remove the benign tumor in her heart. Through collaboration, Dr. House shows his skills of observation.

In the TED talk entitled "How Augmented Reality Will Change Sports And Build Empathy," speaker Chris Kluwe discusses the immense possibilities of new technology. He explains how augmented reality will significantly impact the NFL (National Football League) because it will allow people to understand what it is like to be a football player. He states, “With Google Glass, we can put that underneath a helmet, and we can get a sense of what it's like to be running down the field at 100 miles an hour, your blood pounding in your ears.” (Kluwe 0:52). Here, Kluwe is describing how people would truly be able to experience a football game with augmented reality. They would be able to understand the feeling of adrenaline that players feel out on 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.

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.

A rhetorical aim that illustrates that issues on gun control would be to analyze and interpret. Suggested from the two articles; “Why the U.S. is No. 1 – in mass shootings”, and Not just guns: New study looks at why the U.S. is No. 1 in mass shootings, most mass shootings are a result of the deteriorating American Dream. The rhetorical aim, analyze and interpret”, offer readers a different approach on a specific subject matter. For instance, prior to reading the two texts on America’s advancing gun control issues, it was believed that mental illness would be the root cause for mass shootings. However, these two articles have offered different insight on why America is the leading country of mass shootings. Fame, can persuade Americans into

In Bj Gallagher’s article “Donald Trump Is the Epitome of Everything the World Detests -- And Admires -- About America”(Sep.2, 2015), She Implies the positive and negative attributes in Donald Trump, and whether you should vote for him or not. Gallagher first demonstrates by showing the negatives of Donald Trump and his “arrogance” in an article written by Paul Thomas; Gallagher then argued the positive, admirable side of him by comparing his life to one we would all like to live, and to conclude she suggests that Trump is a “fresh breath of air” for millions of Americans by demonstrate that he is unique compared to past presidential leaders. Her purpose is to surpass his brash ego in order to to show he is worth putting your trust in.

Andrew allowed the audience, to think harder about a moment that they truly felt pain and allowed them to be engulfed by their emotions and allowing them to recall those moments. When a person enters an emotional state, it's easy for another individual to persuade them and Andrew has accomplished

In the movie The Doctor they showed positive professional and negative behaviors. Some of the positive professional things are that Dr. Mackee told his interns to not call someone terminal if they aren’t dying or are already dead. Dr. Mackee talks differently to his patients now that he knows that he has cancer. Dr. Mackee became friends with another cancer patient named June Ellis. Dr. Mackee helps a patient that had a stroke and that has a lisp caused by having the secure and that patient is suing his practice because he blames them for him having the secure but Dr. Mackee sees that he needs help so he goes and tells him that he will have someone come and get Mr. Richards keys out of his car and that Dr. Mackee will have them left at the front desk. Nurse Nancy finally sang when Dr. Mackee went in for his surgery to remove his tumor. Dr. Mackee finally spoke after his surgery and told his wife that he loves her and then they were happy because they didn’t know if he would be able to speak again after having the surgery because the tumor was located in his voice box and they risked losing his vocal cords.

Grey’s Anatomy has a realistic feel. The series indicates actual circumstances. For instance the main setting takes place in a hospital were surgeons spend the majority of their time. Throughout all thirteen seasons you are watching doctors treat and diagnose patients. Doctors are going through the steps of running tests, coming up with treatments plans and performing all kinds of surgeries from an Appendectomy to a heart transplant. The television series shows when running tests or the doctors common knowledge with medicine doesn’t seem to work or treat the patient properly they research the symptom’s, the causes, and why something would work for one patient and not another then they find the best way to treat each patient just as you would see or experience if you were an actual patient being seen in your town hospital. The viewer can get a sense of what it takes to become a surgeon. Starting fresh out of medical

Though there are many interpersonal relationships of circumstance formed in the show House, people can be coworkers and/or have a patient-physician relationship without forming an interpersonal relationship. (Beebe et al. 2005) Dr. House is a perfect example of this. Dr. House may have a patient for weeks and not even so much as talk to them. The other doctors on the show talk to their patients and get to know them for the purpose of learning about their medical history. In doing this they usually find some common ground which forms the foundation for an interpersonal relationship. However, Dr. House avoids talking to his patients at all because he believes they just lie. While brainstorming about treatment options for a patient in the pilot episode, Dr. House says, “If we don’t talk to them (the patients) they can’t lie to us and we can’t lie to them.” (Jacobs K., Shore D., Attanasio P., Singer B., 2004) By choosing not to talk to his patients Dr. House forgoes any chance of developing an interpersonal relationship with his patients.
