Summary: The Effect Of Logos

In her essay “The Importance of Work,” from The Feminine Mystique published in 1963, Betty Friedan confronts American women’s search for identity. Throughout the novel, Betty Friedan broke new ground by seeking the idea of women discovering personal fulfillment away from their original roles. She ponders on the idea of the Feminine Mystique as the cause for the majority of women during that time period to feel confined by their occupations around the house, restricting them from discovering who they are as women. Friedan’s novel is well known for creating a different kind of feminism and rousing various women across the nation.

4. By showing his firsthand experience of the visible contrast between uptown and downtown – the “white world” where garbage is collecged, the ownership and pride those who live downtown experience as opposed to the vision of the housing projects in paragraph 5 – Baldwin convinces the audience further that he knows what he is talking about. His vivid imagery appeals to the listeners’senses. Baldwin deepens his credibility with his audience of teachers as a person who has lived through this disparity, and he enables them to see and to feel the shocking difference between the ghetto and the white neighborhood through his eyes.

The controversy surrounding race and racism has continued prosperous for years and will continue for years to come. However, racism has deeper implications than what appears on the surface. As shown in the literary works below, misrepresentation of minority populations and unfair judgment due to popular stereotypes instigate racism that can lead to conflicts in identity.

To better understand the theme of racism throughout the novel towards African American players and staff of Permian High, a school made up of almost ninety percent minorities, one must understand the background on how this book came about. The other two schools were Caucasian and almost entirely white schools. While at Harvard, Bissinger had an idea to write a book that was focused on the impact that high school football had on American culture

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch employs logos and diction in his closing argument to the jury and people of Maycomb in order to persuade them to see beyond their prejudice and free Tom Robinson.

In American society, race and racial issues are viewed in a black and white manner. The media portrays matters of race in the simplest terms without taking intersectionality into account. Social class, economic factors, and historical factors impact how racial issues are regarded and handled in specific geographic locations. John Hartigan demonstrates this in his book, Racial Situations: Class Predicaments of Whiteness of Detroit, which describes the dynamics of three local communities: Briggs, Cork Town, and Warrendale. Hartigan examines how white identity varies in these three neighborhoods due to other social factors. Comparing how these local communities respond to race versus the media’s response shows how categorizing people into monolithic groups based only on race is a tactic that ignores the real issues and delays finding solutions.

In the novel “Friday Night Lights” by H.G. Bissinger and the podcast “The Problem We All Live With”, the speakers pathetically express multiple issues regarding race, however, the book utilizes the appeal more successfully because the speaker demonstrates a harsher tone, evoking more of an emotional effect on the audience, and a more devastating act of segregation is apparent in the novel than in the podcast. In Odessa, institutional racism leads players, such as Boobie, to seek an outlet in football, because without football, people view him as “a big ol’ dumb n*****” (67). The speaker utilizes a jarring tone, using a derogatory word to reflect the lack of respect many people have for black kids in Odessa. The intended audience, people

Krakauer appeals to logos in chapter three of Into the Wild to effectively display Chris’s expeditions through factual details and solid specifics. For example, on page 15 of Chapter 3, Krakauer plainly states “Carthage, South Dakota, population 274” This simple, yet factual statement, places the reader in a specific place to display an image of where Chris is. The application of logos helps to support the idea of imagery throughout the entirety of the book. Krakauer strives to display the never-ending impact Chris had on the people he met on his many journeys, which is why Krakauer interviews many primary sources that Chris interacted with along the way. In addition to collecting old stories and records of Chris’s life, Krakauer hopes to

Swarns, talks about an interracial couple, the Janus’s, who have a son in Baltimore. The son is half white and half black. The couple talks about their son's future because of this. There has been wrenching violence in the city because of interracial battle the country's racial split. Mrs.Janu spent all of her childhood in a white suburban area in New York. She feels that racism and prejudice have been implanted in today's society. She questions if she's being unloyal to police because her husband is white and she feels strong for Black Lives Matter. On the other hand, her husband grew up with a father who absolutely hates interracial relationships, which is likely from racism. And I think because of Mr.Janu growing up with this, he saw young African-American boys as destined-to-be and destined for handcuffs before having conversations with his

Media has conditioned society into thinking racial stereotypes are the norm. “Irish people are drunks” and “Asians are good at math” are all classic examples of common racial stereotypes. Author Michael Omi of “In Living Color: Race and American Culture” asserts how media presentation of minorities establishes peoples ' perspectives of “these groups”. However, where do racial stereotypes media portray originate from? It comes from the establishment of America oppressing others. Minorities have been feeling oppressed from the “dominant race” for generations. But, has gotten better? No, it has not. Minorities, more importantly, Black Americans are being discriminated in institutions; in a multitude of southern states they cannot vote without being accused of voter fraud, and schools are “inferential racist”. As mentioned in “Actin’ White” author Stuart Buck tackles the pros and cons of desegregating the school system. Buck expresses how the lack of representation in high level school officials can affect black children negatively. By highlighting racial stereotypes throughout the media, Omi address how “inferential racism” is seen throughout daily “intuitional life” which Buck strengthens in his article when he confronts the negative repercussions of desegregation.

Nevertheless, I learned a massive amount of critical information in this class. Beforehand, I was slightly acquainted with problems pertaining to being Black and on being a Woman. Yet, I never thought about how the two can be interrelated. As odd as it may sound, since I am Black and a Woman I never realized the intertwined confliction based on those two social identities. Kimberle Crenshaw’s video on Intersectionality introduced me to a new

Right off the bat, our logo proudly represents our event, which is a game of Flag Football. We recognize that the students of R.H. King are involved in heavily academic semesters, and this means that they operate on a very tight schedule. In accordance with this, we have designed our logo to be simple, yet attractive and meaningful, in order to provide students with the crucial information of our event and what we represent. This logo ensures that students do not have to provide an in-depth analysis to understand it, which would in fact, deter more students than attract. Regarding the colour choices in this logo, we aimed to keep our colours simple, yet contrasting, in order to capture the attention of individuals who come across our logo.

Marc Mauer begins his lecture by introducing the topic of racial disparities in the 21st century and discusses where they originated from. In addition, to how we can address these situations, and bring some form of clarity to this subject matter. Mauer shares the first story of his friend and his wife's teenage son and how “their teenage son started being a teenage son” (Mauer, 2011). His friend's son started staying out late at night, his grades in school were declining, and he was possibly drinking and using drugs. Shortly after that, he was arrested for stealing from a convenience store.

One recent study determined that "Black students view academic excellence as something that belongs to White not Black students" (Sohn, 2011, p. 218). In other words, Black students who achieve academic excellence are "acting white" not acting Black. In Stuart's introduction he states that there are a number of experts that debate the legitimacy of the theory of acting white. As the author, he is not debating whether acting white actually takes place or not, but rather he is criticizing the behavior as detrimental to the Black community at large, and specifically the Black individual student. Buck also states that desegregation was something that had to happen but that the resulting culture of Black students being pitted against White students (oftentimes with extreme bias and rampant racism in the classroom and school system) led to an opposite effect (in many cases) than what was originally sought.

In society today, everything has a name for it. If the product doesn’t have a well-known name, it goes by name that a well-known product that is similar goes by. Branding has made its impact on society and it’s never going to go away. In this situation, all we can do from here is analyze more and more until we fully understand its presence in society and its effects. Branding has its biggest effects on consumerism, which makes us question consumerisms power in society. Has our society become one big, replicated consumer or can a consumer or even a person still be unique and individual? Branding creates competition amongst companies throughout the world and creates a competition for the consumers. Not only, it also creates issues, creates
