Luther Rhetorical Analysis

134 Words1 Page

Agyen, I enjoyed reading your discussion post and found your take on the Reformers to be informative and well thought out.

    Saunders also conveys how business marketing tactics breed cruelty and vanity in society’s elites. The lack of ethics fuels a sense of superiority in product users through brutal subjugation of those who don’t use them. In this society, violent imagery is commonplace and immoral behavior is encouraged to sell products. Society pardons characters like Kevin for their actions because they are winners who are propagating the consumerist message (they help sell the product). This vindication is further illustrated in the third vignette when an orange’s polite questioning of a Slap-of-Wack bar is answered by violent stabbing.

    In addition, Luther’s proposition of an academic debate—through the posting of the ninety-five theses in 1517—corresponds to your points concerning his focus on reform. He provided a way for a peaceful theological debate to occur, although the Reformation became much larger than this. He also encouraged the lessening of the clergy’s power which proved effective in encouraging the involvement of princes as well as laypeople. The inclusion of people from all classes assisted in broadening the influence of the Reformation. I also believe that what allowed Luther to be influential was the initial question he raised.
