  • Azari's Rhetoric Analysis

    215 Words  | 1 Pages

    Before delving into Azari’s conclusions on mandate rhetoric, her methodology is interesting. She analyzes a dataset of news conferences, television and radio addresses, minor addresses made during travel and at meetings of groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, messages to Congress, and various remarks and memoranda addressed to members of the executive branch, totaling 1,467 communications from 1933 to 2009. The important thing to note is that she confines her dataset to the first 70 days of each term of a president. She argues this controls for “exogenous events and facilitates comparison across presidential administrations.” The problem with this small size is that it limits the dataset to roughly 5 percent of a single presidential term.

    285 Words  | 2 Pages

    Based on Walter’s scenario, my decision, which is mostly driven by the first two themes presented in the article, would be to compose a referral to place him on the waitlist of a particular facility. Basically, the first theme explains the separation of competent from incompetent and determining whether a client is competent or not. Although Walter is oriented and able to communicate, I have deemed him incompetent due to various reasons. For instance, he is incapable of performing proper hygiene since he does not appear well-groomed and he is also incapable of maintaining a suitable environment since his house is filled with clothing, newspapers, spoiled products, unwashed dishes, as well as the unpleasant scents of cat deposits.

  • Shapiro's Rhetorical Analysis

    293 Words  | 2 Pages

    After reading Shapiro’s definition of neurosis, I found myself agreeing with him and seeing how his definition can be applied to everyday problems and some mental illness. Shapiro describes neurosis as a reaction against one’s personality in which the person is cut off from oneself. That the person might not understand why he or she is behavioring in a certain way, and also why the person might not know why he or she wants to do something and why he or she has to do something (Shapiro, 1999), but that the person has to do it. For example, a client who is seeing a therapist because he has an obsession with wash his hands the client might not fully understand why he wants to wash his hands a certain amount of times but it is something that he

  • Aaron Swartz Rhetorical Analysis

    Jarrell Yves L. Chua CSETHICS Aaron Swartz’s political advocacy was about the freedom of information to the public. He wanted to give the people the free access to academic journals, federal court documents, government issues, etc. He didn’t like the idea of having to pay for information or knowledge that a person should learn or know. I think that his main concern were the marginalized sectors, wherein they don’t have free access to knowledge, news, and other important documents. As a college student, I definitely agree with his political advocacy because a lot of people will benefit from it.
