Therefore, Robert Kenner arguments are very convincing. It is very persuasive because Kenner does several interviews with growers for these multinational companies. He also shows, film from inside of the factories and how the process really works. In addition, he shows hidden camera footage when the companies come and pick up the chickens in the middle of the night and how inhumane they are and show no emotion about what they are doing. By using these examples, Kenner makes his audience aware of the reality of the food industry and shows it in a different
The film begins with an introduction scenery of acres and large amounts of crops (corn and wheat), along with cattle and other forms of animals used in the production of the meat industry. During the agricultural featured scene, Mr. Schlosser elucidated how food preferences and the way we eat is evolving at a rapid speed, while others still perceive the food industry as an agrarian corporation. The film then makes its emotional appeal towards the audience by providing images and videos of chickens in multiple repulsive situations. The chickens were thrown onto conveyor belts by primarily African American workers, which now accounts for a fine percentage of employees in the food industry. Schlosser elaborates on the unseen dilemma of animal and worker abuse in these corporations. He then exemplifies his realization of how the abuse is enacted in numerous ways, one of which is implementing restrictions as to what workers are allowed to do and say. They use these restrictions as a way of controlling their workers and providers in such industries, because the workers/providers can’t risk losing the income they receive from these multi-billionaire companies. The above said scenes justifies how Schlosser uses emotional appeals to the viewers in order to enhance the initial
Kenner uses the rhetorical strategy ethos by introducing important people of the food industry to the people of America. Kenner introduces us to Joel Salatin. He runs the farm called “Polyface farms”. He compares amd explains in the movie/documentary how his farm is ran and how the animals are fed and treated compared to corporations like Smithfield and Tyson. Kenner features the “Polyface Farm” from anywhere to what the animals eats to where the animals live. Salatin acknowledges that his animals do not eat corn or any product with corn involved. Salatin guides us through the process of killing chickens and how they are handled and packaged. Kenner also compared this process with with huge corporations like Tyson and how their chickens are killed. Tyson has their chicken coops packed with so many that the chickens are unable to move around so when chicken farmers feed the Tyson chickens they all keep gaining weight since they are big that they can con carry their own weight anymore. The chicken farmers emphasize that Tyson tries to make every chicken look alike so that when that chickens are packaged there will not be a huge size discrepancy. Another man interviewed in the movie/documentary is Moe Parr. Parr was a seed cleaner for local farmers around their town. Parr addressed that Monacello (seed company) was sueing him for cleaning seeds. Monasello’s argument was that they have a contract with every farmer who buys seeds from them; that when they save their seeds that they are expected to send those seeds back to the
Since the dawn of mankind, clusters of innovations throughout history have allowed for societal progression at an explosive rate. While primarily fostering a centrifugal system of advancements; humans’ interests in expansion is spiraling out of control. Throughout history elements of collapse can be traced through civilizations and natural resources. Wright’s argument posits humans have hyperextended their utilization of resources at a rate that cannot be replenished, therein by setting up the world for the largest ecological collapse in history (Wright, 2004, pg. 130-131). Due to the cyclical process of past collapse and reformation humans have an advantage to rectify our current consumption rates ultimately avoiding a fate similar to past societies (Wright, 2004, pg. 131). As such Wright’s argument should frame larger discussions of responsible citizenship.
An Arizona Rep. named Matt Salmon made what seemed like an ordinary visit to a local elementary school to explain to the kids how a bill becomes a law, when a couple of comments got him in some trouble with parents. Salmon made comments about Iran's nuclear deal and young suicide bombers to a bunch of second- and third-grade students at San Tan Charter School. While the comments were cut short by both the principle and a teacher, it didn't change the effect it had one some kids. The principle sent out an email to the forty-five students who attended the session and encouraged upset families to reach out to the office. So far, three families have done just that. To correct his mistake, he not only personally called a few of the upset parents

The first aspect of choice showcased by Stewart is the delegation of authority.

This also showcases her willingness and ability to share information as well as an attribute of trust towards her members of staff.
Helper believes that the reason the Souths economy was bad, was because slavery had enslaved the South. He talks about how the South is very dependent and gets almost everything from the North. “We want Bibles, brooms, buckets, and books, and we go to the North; … we want toys, primers, school books, fashionable apparel, machinery, medicines, tombstones, and a thousand other things, and we go to the North for them all.” (For the Record, 417) Then, Helper gets to the point and explains that the reason for their poverty and bad economy, was because of slavery. The people of the South depended on slave labor, which is why they were not doing so well economy wise. If it wasn’t for slavery in the South, they would be “patronizing their own mechanics, manufacturers, and laborers” (For the Record, 418) instead of sending everything to the North. Another one of Helper’s arguments is that, the non-slaveholders believe anything the slaveholders tell them. That is why Helper believes the “South, woefully inert and inventionless, has lagged behind the North, and is now weltering in the cesspool of ignorance and degradation.” (For the Record, 419)

It’s problematic that we don’t question the food we eat whether it be from McDonalds or a fancy upscale restaurant. We need to be more aware of what is going on around us especially when the food we eat is causing an array of health issues for us. The unsanitary conditions found within the factory farm industry contributes to the pathogens found in the meat we eat. As the saying goes you get what you pay for. Factory farming is based upon producing large quantities of meat at a very low cost. This driving force behind the system is not worth getting food poising or something detrimental. In the chapter “Influence / Speechlessness” the habitats of the chickens are displayed “jamming deformed, drugged,
Brennan argues that one should not vote badly. I will be arguing in favor of Brennan’s argument. I will first start by stating the author’s argument, then I will propose objections to his argument.
When looking into the inner workings of the food industry one can establish a precedent centered around the idea that big business should make up the food industry. This notion is presented front and center through the use of the movie Food Inc.directed by Robert Kenner. Kenner establishes in the film that large multinational corporations control the food industry. They do it through force however, and place a cloak over what is truly happening. People as both the consumers but also the growers themselves are being covered and threatened by and from the truth. They work to establish the lack of stature these people can take against them using power as a means to succeed. The film itself uses a the structure of ethos, pathos, and lagos to establish the relevance this has on our daily lives. Ethos established in the film a sense of credibility to the message being pursued by the people pursuing it. Pathos works to bring in our emotions to establish a sense of everything from sadness towards the animals to the unfair treatment towards farmers. Lastly logos is established in the citing of defined facts as well as bringing in hard evidence to support
Curtis Silver advocates the need for parents to become more responsible of teaching their children values, morality, and logic. As a child of an engineer, Silver grew up learning how to tackle both simple and complex problems by using logic and reasoning. As a result, he believes that the opportunity to solve them by himself improved his critical thinking, which is why he encourages parents to also allow their children solve problems on their own. In order to strengthen his argument, he shares a personal anecdote of using his logic and reasoning to create a sound argument and reveal the truth that he did not have to pay the cost of repairs for a new transmission. This example is important to

According to Webster Dictionary, Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. How is that someone can even study reality or existence, doesn’t that just make it opinion or perception. Understanding a point being made by a philosopher is taking a trip through their brain, which sometimes can be scary and other times be fascinating. Making sense of their nonsense sense is tricky; identifying their argument, even trickier. Avital Ronell said it best in Examined Life, “Philosophy is like a parallel universe or a rival team that also comes up with all of this prescribed bullshit; it’s very will to power.” (Taylor)
Yes, I do believe that his argument is accurate. I think that we do target specific drugs to identify is illegal based on who typically uses the drugs in the US. The first time I heard this I didn't want to believe it, so I did research for myself. Its true what he said middle class white women were used opiates to relieve pain, but no one wanted to but them in jail. When I came to the Japanese using it the were in fear of them having "power" over the majority. I mean now they put all races in jail for using any drugs, but I feel like they are definitely fast acting when it's a darker skinned person as Nadelmann said in the video.
