  • A Rhetorical Analysis Of Cepeda's Strategies

    954 Words  | 4 Pages

    The optimal column to showcase this strategy is in "Parents: Save A Kid Brain - Get Off Your Phones!" Since the audience for this piece is parents of small children, one of the most effective strategies to persuade them is to logically show how their current actions may have a bad influence on their children. In this piece, Cepeda does just that to convince readers that their technology addiction is more serious than they thought by bringing in scientific and psychological research. By way of illustration, she includes two separate studies and discusses their results that technology negatively impacts child development and how these studies apply to the lives of the readers. Citing two separate studies allows Cepeda to rely more on the facts persuading her readers than her own opinions.

  • Wellman's Argument Analysis

    674 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his essay, Wellman attempts to argue that legitimate states, ones that protect the rights of their citizens, through self determination have the right to close their borders to unwanted immigrants. This extends to the idea that states cannot morally be subjected to include anyone in their community and, concurrently, have the right to exclude any unwanted person. Wellman demonstrates that such states have this right on the basis of freedom of association, his second premise. Wellman’s third premise states that freedom of association includes the right to associate and to disassociate as well. Combined, the three premises Wellman’s provides develop into his argument that any legitimate state can morally refuse to allow immigrants into its territory even if they are in serious need.
