In the narrative The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle, she says in this age of mobile devices and Facebook people have sacrificed conversation with connection. People are always on their phones and struggle to maintain eye contact when their texting in classrooms and even in dates when you are supposed to connect to someone physically and emotionally and instead people act like robots and text even on dates and probably other social occasions. All this meant to show how people have become less social due to their phones always sending texts or emails and shopping online when they should be focused on where they are who they’re speaking to and what time it is. And this is a reasonable conclusion in our modern society people, especially teenage girls; seem to be on their phones texting almost 24/7.

This type of persuasion occurs when someone evaluates the message based on surface-level characteristics. This method is known as the heuristic persuasion and is leveraged by appeals to one’s habit or emotions. For example, if someone is watching an a tv ad for men’s cologne the advertisers are hoping that people would be more convinced by things like physical attractiveness or music played in the background. People tend to take this route when their understanding of the content is low, or they just aren’t interested in the topic. For this reason, this route doesn’t engage systematic thinking of the individual which allows them to make a quick decision based on heuristics or incidental cues. As a result, using pathos along with the peripheral route is a significant maneuver to help to engage one’s emotions more
The feeling of indifference towards matters of tragedy “is always a friend of the enemy” (Wiesel, 1999). The experiences that young Elie Wiesel endured during World War II influenced the critical undertone of his poignant speech, “The Perils of Indifference.” The speech, delivered on April 12th, 1999 at the White House, emphasizes the dangers of apathy during times of disaster. In the speech, Wiesel encompasses the narrative paradigm, imagery, and rhetoric appeals in an emphatic tone to evoke a sense of guilt and a vehement desire to take immediate action towards the injustice of humanity. Recounting the cataclysmic Holocaust and anticipating a promising future, Elie Wiesel expresses, through his speech, the necessity of the cessation of indifference to give the new millennia a renewed hope.

In the book Everything’s an Argument by Andrea Lunsford, the first chapter makes a claim that any engagement of one person to another is an act of persuasion or argument. Lunsford says “When you say, “Hi, how’s it going?” in one sense you’re arguing that your hello deserves a response.” In reality, when a person greets another person, they are not demanding an acknowledgment or validation of their presence, rather they are typically exhibiting value towards the person they are greeting, or in some cases, they are showing respect towards that person. In fact, the etymology of the word “argument” entirely debunks Lunford’s claim that a greeting is in one sense an argument. The modern English word ‘argument’ comes from the Latin word ‘arguere’

Jonathan Swift in his essay “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country” (The Art of Writing: A Modern Rhetoric, edited by Cosmo F. Ferrara, Random House, 1981, pp. 155-170) employs savage irony to present his societal commentary. Written in 1729 to expose the tragic conditions of the lower classes, the satire attempts to manipulate readers with its sense of ridicule and scorn. A plea for human indecency, the essay he subtly suggests their responsibilities to society in a manner which remains applicable to America.
Jonathan Swift’s satirical essay, “A Modest Proposal”, uses many media constructions to convey his opinions to the reader. Firstly, Swift uses the key concept that all media is a construction. Swift carefully planned his satirical piece to effect readers in such a way as to have them look inside themselves. The essay itself mirrors societies own radicalism and gullibility. This is proven when Swift writes, “ I have been assured by a very knowing American… that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing and wholesome food,…”
