Schlosser's Rhetorical Analysis

The social problem is that some police overstep their boundaries as law enforcement and commit acts of unnecessary brutality towards citizens. The name of the article is “Sheriff: Lawyer Says Deputies Didn’t Need to Kill Texas Man” and was posted on abcnews.go.com on September 2, 2015. The scope of coverage and audience is at the national level.

Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.

Freedom, independence, and opportunities; all these words come to mind when thinking about growing up, but there is no escaping a first job. Nowadays most of teens can be seen behind the counters of fast food places, but why has this become so popular? Through an appeal to ethos and pathos, Schlosser illustrates how the fast food industry utilizes the inexperience and emotions of America’s youth for personal gain and control.

In response to Geoffrey Shepherd's article “It’s clear the US should not have bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki”. Shepard tries to pull us into his claim by using pathos, logos, and ethos. He uses estimates of 500,000 Japanese soldiers died from the atomic bomb. Then Geoffrey begins to state that we had an alternative spot to drop the bombs, the alternate spot we could’ve dropped the bomb would have been Tokyo Bay. It was idle and estimated that less lives would’ve been taken and would showed more of a threat to the Japanese leaders.

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.

While all fields of academia possess some level of practical application, there remains an ever-important and all-encompassing skill which is needed to truly understand each subject: reading. Though literacy rates in the US near 100%, literacy unaccompanied by tools such as context, critical analysis, and sufficient skepticism can leave one lost in arduous texts and vulnerable to flawed arguments. This notion is rarely rejected by anyone at face value, rather, questions regarding the implementation and perceived importance of certain reading strategies alienates differing camps. Many attempts at mitigating the dilemma of subpar reading comprehension have been made, most notably, Daniel Willingham's proposed reform of early education, Michael

Yes, Hochswender’s essay pleads and appeals to the reader’s logos, pathos, and ethos. The writer immediately jolts at the reader’s feelings and thoughts with statements, for example, “Does that mean I’m a bad person?” (Muller & Wiener 2009 p. 154). Who likes being a bad person? Most people do not! In agreement with your discussion, from the get-go the essay initiates persuasion by using emotional innuendoes that logically affect any thought pattern. The essay also offers a great balance in suitable content that has the reader analyze his/her logical thinking (logos) then moves on to mandate attention with statements that are heartfelt (pathos), and finally pounders checking on what a person truly believes (ethos) is most important.

In their article, Students Step up to Lead Tech Implementation at Their Elementary School, Taryn Handlon and Tiffany Costa write about how TechXpert all started with an idea for prominent engagement. The Roosevelt Elementary School in Park Ridge, Illinois, had begun implementing new tools such as Chromebooks, Spheros, Dash and Dots, Cubelets, Snap Circuits, Osmos, Marble Mazes and a 3D printer to the classrooms, which highlighted the schools desire to collaborate technology with learning. This would not only transform the whole classroom environment, but also open the door for young students to explore computer science and technical engineering. The only issue seemed to be that teachers had no time to educate themselves on the tools and how

The audience to which this paper is directed towards is the college aged baseball fan in America. They are interested in the game and love to go to the ballpark to watch a game, and if they can’t make it to the game they will try to watch it on TV or catch some of the highlights. They hear the stories about steroids and the various scandals, but don't possess a deep understanding of them. My audience’s attitude towards my culture is admiration for the players and teams. However, likely objections could include the steroid scandals and some fans may be hesitant to accept the fact the these players makes huge salaries each year. Professional baseball players come from all over the world, so while it is likely that my audience share similar backgrounds

Throughout the Michigan Sports Business Conference, undergraduate and recently graduated students were able listen to an impressive list of speakers speak about the sports industry and the digital age. This conference was able to create a smart and innovative agenda where various facets of the sport industry were discussed. Since people are extremely passionate about sports and would love to work in this field when they graduate from any university, MSBC put together this conference to attract top sport executives like Jaymee Messler, Erik Sorenson, and David Bowman to educate and develop the potential leaders of this industry. While every speaker and panel was fascinating to listen to, the speaker that was most captivating and alluring was the final speaker of the day, Jaymee Messler.

In Gadamer's writing I believe that his master metaphor is that man can only achieve higher learning through exchanged dialogue. I believe that his main point was to explain that man's limited ability to reason is due to conditional thinking. In order for man to gain knowledge he must be exposed to new concepts, idea, and situations without allowing his prejudices to interfere with his experience. He spends a great deal in the beginning of the article trying to dismantle the conventional definitions of what experience and insight mean. He emphasizes the importance of listening, ones ability to be open, and the art of asking questions. The explains that these factors are major tools in which man can be transformed into a more enlightened state.

Americans try to stay away from discussing politics and offending people. However, it is very important to talk about all topics, in order to inform others and learn from each other. Everyone has a right to voice their opinion, even if it is different than others. In the news outlets, it has been voiced that certain people are thinking about running for president, Oprah Winfrey being one of them. Oprah Winfrey has copious amounts of titles including talk show host, actress, and philanthropist, but according to Kurt Schlichter, running for President of the United States would be a mistake.

Lastly, Waldinger assuredly emphasizes great logos throughout his speech. Logos illustrates structure. Waldinger had a solid structure that helped hold his audiences attention, amplify a core message, and seemed to give him a sense of confidence. During the beginning of his speech, he begins by asking his audience a question, and try’s to connect with them by explaining personal things everyone is surrounded by, for instance the media. This is known as the attention getter. He later explains several different ways of research information, like studies and survey’s. He also uses a projector to present the audience different pictures, while speaking of a specific thing. For example when he talked about millennial’s wanting to become famous, he

As a writer, I have always struggled in a few areas. I have this bad habit of delving too much into summary of a work and not really analyzing what the author is saying or why they are saying it. I also tend to lose focus and veer into speculation rather than remaining focused on whatever topic I am discussing. At times I have completely forgotten the point of a paper and therefore omitted a required point. I am also guilty of common mistakes such as run-on sentences, punctuation errors, and fragments. But I do have strengths as well. When I focus on it, my sentence structure can be varied and intriguing. When I really believe in the point I am arguing, I can give stellar analysis and even give some thought provoking questions out

This is a passage recounted in a series of events by the editor. In this passage, Werther received the inconceivable news that a farmhand, a man he identified with, had committed a horrific act. The farmhand, a man desperately in love with the widow he once worked for, had murdered the new farmhand as a selfish act of devotion to the widow. Werther, as recounted by the editor “torn from his resentment, experiences an overwhelming sympathy for the unhappy man” (Passage II). He tried to plead the Land Steward to turn a blind eye to the ignominious act committed and for the man to be saved. The following passage uses characterization and setting to impart the consequences of unrequited love.
