Why We Fight, a 2005 documentary that was directed by Eugene Jarecki synthesizes multiple sources and uses various rhetorical techniques to raise questions about America’s motivations for combat historically and in the present day. In George Orwell’s Shooting an Elephant, a british police officer experiences effects of Imperialism even as the oppressor in Burma during the time of British Imperialism. Although these two different work involves different situation, there is still an idea of imperialism that is running through. United States is acting as an imperialist country, trying to spread its policy throughout the world while Burma was going through British Imperialism. In the documentary, Why We Fight, Jarecki argues that the reason we

In 1963, the civil rights movement was going on in almost every city in America. Our African American neighbors were standing up for equality and their own basic rights. Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights activist, writes a book called Why We Can't Wait to describe the social conditions of the black people living in America in this era. In his book, MLK uses strong imagery, historical allusions, and rhetorical questions in order to describe what the black community was going through in the 1960s.

In May of 1998, Kipland Kinkel brought a gun to his school. Over the course of two days this escalated from: being sent home, to murdering his father and mother, to murdering 2 students and wounding 26, earning a lifetime sentence of 111 years and 8 months in prison. In the court case being examined, the presiding judge addresses the original case, defendants ground for appeal, and the justification for the State’s decision to deny the appeal. Judge Haselton effectively uses ethos, logos, and pathos to support the Higher Court’s decision to deny the appeal because the original sentence was constitutional and just.

Nonconformity allows people to go against a prevailing rule so that they may do as they please.

I've heard about the PaperRater site from students here and there over the past year, and I've finally had a chance to check it out a bit. It's like Grammarly, but it offers a detailed analysis report after examining your work.

In his novel, “Brave New World,” Aldous Huxley portrays a society in which the government has full control. At the time of the books writing America was striving for this status quo of complacent pleasantry, censorship was an issue, and things that were extreme or painful were being removed. As man has progressed through the years, societies have tried to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness are unheard of. Only happiness exists. But after reading Aldous Huxley's “Brave New World,” one comes to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human being really longs for. Huxley’s intended audience seems to be people that have the vision of a perfect society. He wrote the book as a dark satire. It's meant to mock (in a serious manner) the concept of a perfect society being possible. Huxley successfully made the point that there is more to life than stability and complacent happiness by utilizing a number of rhetorical strategies.

Liberal rhetoric would lead us to believe that we live in an increasingly connected, and therefore improved, world. Images of Sherpas with cell phones and Amazonians with refrigerators are pointed to as evidence that by increasing global trade we are improving the lives of every human on earth. Given time, the expansion of free trade across the globe will lead to an interconnected world economy built upon a foundation of international cooperation and ever-rising standards of living. This utopian dream is the product of a brilliant public relations campaign, a carefully constructed façade that disguises the true nature of modern day globalization. In actuality, the spread of free markets is the utilization of capitalism as an economic tool

Imagine discovering the cure for cancer, and then tossing the revolutionary discovery into a blaze of fire. This obliteration has happened to rhetoric, a tool of language that donates life to argument and creates a thriving system of communication for the world. Rhetoric used to be an important aspect of education that could assist students with the teachings of argument and human interaction. Today, rhetoric has become a topic of minimal discussion among ideas that have long since been outdated, and considered archaic to the educational system. In reality, rhetoric exemplifies the human genius and must be taught in schools to further the evolution of human expression.

In the conclusion of Herbert's letter he asserts dominance and believes that they will stop using the slogan “It’s the Real Thing” to advertise a book called “Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher.” Herbert asserts dominance by stating that they’re unable to use the slogan because it belongs to them and has been used by Coca-Cola in the past. Herbert assumes that Seaver will stop using the slogan by stating “We appreciate your cooperation and your assurance that you will discontinue the use of “It’s the real thing””(lines 26-27). He doesn’t want the slogan to be used for the books advertisement because it could be confusing for customers. The tone that is used in Herbert's letter to Seaver is authoritative and informal. It’s authoritative because

Aldous Huxley was born in Surrey, England. He had keratitis punctate, which left him blind for 18 months and prevented him from being a scientist or fight in World War I. He ended up becoming a writer. In the 1930’s Aldous Leonard Huxley wrote the science fiction novel, A Brave New World. This except from A Brave New World shows the dramatic dialogue between two main characters in the novel. I will be identifying literary elements and techniques used in this excerpt and what message the author intended the audience to understand.

The authors shows a formal argument of the slogan “it’s the real thing”, both Herbert and Seaver argue on the importance as the Coca-Cola company has stolen a slogan from Haskins .In the letter Herbert states that the Grove press should discontinue the use of the slogan¨It´s the real thing¨ as the Coca-Cola company did not want to advertise Jim Haskins novel ¨Diary of a Harlem Schoolteacher¨ as they too used the same phrase as Coca Cola ( Herbert, 23-25). That is to say, Herbert feels, not knowing the consequences of using a slogan to advertise other thing would be wrong. The significance of this idea is to prove Herbert’s agreement is weak compared to Seaver. It show how Seaver would be more convincing by using evidence to base off his ideas.To

People were always told that homosexuals were in the holocaust, Hitler sent them to concentration camps; however, that was that. There were no other details, instead it was focused on the Jewish: not the Gypsies, disable, homosexuals. No other groups were focused on; the damage was untaught. In Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s 2000 documentary Paragraph 175, he sympathizes on what happened to the homosexuals during World War II and the law of Paragraph 175. The author first appeals to ethos by gathering up the remaining living victims of the holocaust and having them tell their experiences and background stories. Epstein and Friedman also strategize with pathos, by giving off startling facts about what happened to them.

The Perplexity of Truth Relativism is the theory that knowledge is relative to the limited nature of the mind and conditions of knowing. This being said, the whole concept of truth is put on trial because what might be true for one person, may not be for another. Truth is relative only to the person who has lived a given experience (Apologetics: Is truth objective or subjective?). In Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, O'Brien challenges his readers in what the truth is pertaining to a war story.

3) Additionally, Holmes suggested that the following statement be reaffirmed as a mental tonic: “I am strong and free through the Action of God in me. I am well and successful in everything I do.” Although we repeat such affirmations as often as necessary, it is not to be insistent or persistent, but rather to be mentally and emotionally consistent throughout the day. And while eschewing a foolish consistency of resistance and persistence, it is nevertheless wise to be consistent in our affirmation of Truth. As a rule, it is by means of mindful repetition and reaffirmation that one aligns their consciousness with that which they affirm to be true. Consequently, one's single-minded devotion to Truth can reorient the direction of their life.

The image titled "Inconvenient truth" by Clay Benette demonstrates something that occurs within our society constantly. A voluminous amount of people in line are conveyed - waiting to buy their ticket to something which seems to be titled "A Reassuring Lie". With joy on their faces, they wait patiently and walk in with calm. However what is also depicted towards the left would be the only individual with a frown among their faces. The individual in the photo booth does not receive any people who seem interested to buy tickets to what is titled "An Inconvenient Truth". This vocabulary chosen for this image, such as "Reassuring" and "Inconvenient", clearly help identify the message that is trying to be delivered. It gives a strong message that
