Newton Minow, the chairman of The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from 1961 to 1963gave his maiden speech as commissioner on 9th May, 1961 in Washington, DC. John Kennedy asked him to work at FCC. When he spoke about television, it was a time when radios were being replacedwith televisions. In his speech, he literally said television is a "vast wasteland" andpeople were stunned by his statement because people were really enjoying the transition from radio to television. Minow delivered the speech to the National Association of Broadcasters who were the primary audience.His arguments affected not only the primary audience, but a large number of people who were the secondary

In the episode “Give Peace A Chance” of Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Derek Shepherd is given an impossible case and has to make a decision to cut out a massive spinal tumor of a lab technician he is familiar with at the hospital. The chief of the hospital and Dr. Shepherd are having a hard time with some of the decisions the chief has recently made regarding the hospital’s merger and this creates conflict further into the episode. A resident doctor in the hospital, Dr. Karev, is having troubles with his cancer wife who has fled and left him with an enormous amount of bills from the hospital for her recent treatments. This episode uses all parts of the rhetorical triangle, but particularly through pathos doctors in the episode are able to heavily connect with the audience.

In the article “Requiem for Real News” written by Chris Hedges, Hedges makes an argument that society is losing expertise with the news now changing from print to online. The change from print to online is also causing a change in what is deemed news. Upon first look on this article, this argument seems to be effective; however, the argument is not effective. While Hedges has some strong pieces of pathos like when provoking anger in the audience of the working men and women towards corporations and use of cause and effect strategy, extended definitions, and comparisons to logically make an argument that corporations want the public to be in the blind, Hedges fails to present enough ethos to back up his argument which ultimately causes his article to become an ineffective argument.

Paragraph 1- NASA is using all the money they have to keep what they have right now up and running, but if we sell the older spacecrafts and satellites the private companies can keep them running and being worked on while NASA builds bigger and better things. In Brian Berger's article “With NASA Budget Cuts Looming, SETI Eyes Private Funding”, he says, “NASA's astrobiology budget, the source of most of that grant money, is facing a steep decline. Under NASA's 2007 budget proposal, currently before Congress, the U.S. space agency would spend $32.5 billion on astrobiology in the year ahead--half of what it spent on astrobiology in 2005.” (Berger, pg 1). A survey was conducted between February 4, 2013, and February 6, 2013, by random people, the results were 75 percent believe that NASA’s budget should be doubled to 1 percent of the federal budget to fund initiatives including a mission to Mars.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was an award winning program that delivered top headline news in a more realistic way.

“Who would pretend that a history of a migration has immunized the United States against bigotry?” In Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, Scott Russel Sanders uses this rhetorical question to convince his readers to think more logistically about migration. He pries open the eyes of Americans and shows them the damage that moving can cause, as opposed to Salaman Rushdie’s thoughts that it was only positive.

“We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.” This quote was stated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, author of Coming to our Senses. Coming to our Senses was published in 2005. The main idea of Coming to our Sense is that our senses are limited and that we need technology to enhance it to better our world. Tyson is effective in delivering the main idea by using rhetorical devices found throughout his essay.

Deviance is a behavior, trait, belief, or other characteristic that violates a norm and causes a negative reaction (Ferris & Stein 154). The television Jane The Virgin embodies this sociological theory and is intended for an audience of young and older adults. Types of deviance that is featured is that Jane Villanueva who has hopes of being a teacher and author goes to the doctors for a routine physical examination. However, while there she accidentally gets artificially inseminated. The intended specimen was intended for a patient in the next room, the situation becomes even more shocking. In fact, the donor is Jane’s boss Rafael Solano whom she had a crush on a few years prior.

The 1980s saw a shift in the presentational style of television. John Caldwell termed this new style televisuality. Televisuality presents a type of television that flaunts style rather than just using it to communicate ideas and content (Caldwell, 5). There is more value placed in the excessive style of television programs. Through televisuality, many shows have come to establish signature production styles that set them apart from other programming on the air. Changes in the television industry brought about this new style of television.

We live in a world that is controlled by mass media and because of this advertisers are trying harder each year to outdo themselves and their competitors. Rhetors use techniques in their advertisements such as fantasies or surrealism to catch the attention of their audience. Companies like Audi pour millions of dollars into their marketing teams to make sure their cars look the best and attract consumers. Commercials that are shown on television today are great examples of rhetorical artifacts because of the many techniques being exercised by the rhetor. Analyzing this through the lens of rhetorical

These issues can vary anywhere from male dominance in the household, to wars, to racism, to political jabs and still be covered under freedom of speech. Television can hold a wide variety of opinions which may offend, but for the most part due so to prove a point.
