Rhetorical In TED Talk

Jonathan appeals to pathos because he grabs our emotions by telling the stories of the kids in the low level schools. For example he mentions in the fourth paragraph that schools in Camden do not have windows, ceilings, or working fire alarms. These students are not only suffering financially but also physically because the can not even receive medical treatment. He really grabs our attention when he says that the neighboring area children are doing just fine, so these kids see how they are not worth the money to help keep them going when the other kids are.

Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead is a documentary by Joe Cross directed towards to an overweight, unhealthy audience of fast-food world corporate America.

“Stop trying to be good people.” It is only human to be biased. However, the problem begins when we allow our bigotry to manifest into an obstacle that hinders us from genuinely getting to know people. Long time diversity lawyer, Verna Myers, in her 2014 Ted Talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them” discusses the implicit biases we may obtain when it comes to race, specifically black men. Myers purpose is quite like the cliché phrase “Face your fears.” Her goal is to impress upon us that we all have biases (conscious or unconscious). We just have to be aware of them and face them head on, so that problems such as racism, can be resolved. Throughout the Ted Talk, Verna Myers utilizes an admonishing yet entertaining tone in

David Zinczenko, author of “Don't Blame the Eater”, began his career in nutrition and wellness not only by coincidence but because of personal experience. His motivation and determination for change has led him to establish a platform for himself in which he is able to reach many people comparable to him so that they can become motivated as well. Such platform includes being a regular guest on shows such as, The View, Biggest Loser, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America and 20/20. Putting his face out in the media, sharing his ideas, and thoughts about how well he knows about health builds up his ethos massively. A well known face and name, catches the audience attention more. Creating the audience to feel that Zinczenko is an intellectual person that knows what he is talking about. What also helps him to be more credible is his short story on how he can relate to children suffering from obesity. His main argument ties in with his story and his purpose for writing “Don’t Blame the Eater”. His audience trust him more knowing that as a child, he went through the same problem as the kids he is defending. As he emotionally brought in his audience with his sob story he raised his

Apart from healthcare issue, the country has adopted the fast-moving life style, which has pushed most of our citizens to succumb to obesity as a result of fast foods. In fact, a recent report by the UN has ranked the United States as the most obese country in the world. Parramore (2012) outlines that, “Obesity is currently being considered as a national crisis in the United States and that it contributes 100,000 to 400,000 deaths per year. Statistics at the CDC and Prevention in 2010 indicate that 35.7% of the American adult is obese.” Many input trends exist in the American society, “First and foremost, people are highly used to fried foods, sugary drinks, and processed meats among others. There is also the sedentary lifestyle that has been adopted by many,” (Huffington Post, 2013). In fact, most of us love relaxing without exercise and too much television watching. These are some of the factors that contribute to obesity. The result is health complications problems such as diabetes, stroke, and heart disease just to mention but a few. These affect the longevity of life.

Health education takes place within the context of social and economic settings. All programmes for health-related behaviour change have a cost in term of resources, money, time or social and economic factors. In this report I will be talking about Jamie Oliver approach the strength and weakness of his healthy eating approach.

Obesity is one of the main topics in America including one of the main reasons of death.-(begin with a subject) Detecting obesity is easy, but treating it can be very hard to do. Never have there have been so many teens and children not only overweight but obese. In some ways, it could be called the plague of the twenty- first century due to adolescents and teenagers indulging themselves in a plethora of food for every meal they have, therefore becoming overweight and morbidly obese. In the eighteen hundreds there was not a fast food place to go to unlike these days, so children were not obese like they are

Addiction is a word that, despite being used on a daily basis, is oftentimes misconstrued by the public. Johann Hari addresses this issue in a Ted Talk he calls, “Everything we know about addiction is wrong,” which he performed to the public in 2015. Merely based upon the title of the Ted Talk, it was clear Harri intended to reach those either suffering with addiction or those who know someone suffering with addiction with the goal of inspiring and informing the audience. Hari did not fail in achieving the proper audience. Considering that the crowd paid to listen to him speak in the first place, the chances of them being open-minded, increased substantially. Hari argued that addiction isn’t all as it seems, and thus went about the Talk explaining

This has become the number one nutritional concern on the public health agenda. Although many do not understand how this obesity epidemic began but speculation is contributed to the environmental changes. Many believe the lack of exercise versus consumption of food is the most logical reason for obesity. The concern of fast food has also remained in the spotlight for unhealthy, greasy, high calorie food. Obesity can contribute to other health concerns such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. With growing population and the increase in obesity finding a solution for this concern is important.

In recent years, obesity has become one of the major health crisis in the United States. Obesity rates are growing continuously in the United States. More and more people have affected by obesity. Even children have become the victims of obesity. Stephanie Soechtig, the director of the documentary film Fed Up, looks into the obesity epidemic to to find the reasons that caused this health issue and possible solutions. According to Katie Couric, The narrator of Fed Up, the general public believe the cause of obesity epidemic are the “lack of exercise” and “increased appetites” (Fed Up). However, the true cause that Soechting has found is not just simply lack of exercise or increased appetites. In the documentary film Fed Up, the producer Stephanie Soechting is trying to convince the

Moshe Szyf, an epigenist informed us through his Ted Talk, “How life experience is written into DNA,” of our genes and how they are “combined of two components” (15:17). He used rhetorical strategies to engage his audience in understanding the view of DNA through an epigenetics perspective. He provides many examples of experiments performed which show these layers of information. The two layers include the old information from millions of years of evolution and the epigenetic layer which includes the open and dynamic set up of a narrative that is interactive and allows us to control our destiny.

In his speech Steve Jobs explains that you should always trust in yourself to get you somewhere. He states in the beginning of his speech that “You have to trust in something— your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”(Dlugan, 2005). In that part he basically tells you to just believe in yourself because you never know where you're going to end up even if you wanted to be a teacher and you end up being a doctor. Your heart is going to lead you to what you really want to do even if it might be completely different from what you thought. The main focus in his speech was if you don’t have enough money to go to school to be who you want to be don't let that stop
