  • Rhetorical Thinking Syllabus

    392 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first section of your syllabus entitled “What We’re Doing in This Course, and Why” intrigued me. Specifically, due to its mention of the concept of rhetorical thinking being used to figure out what to say and how to say it. To me, this section encompasses all disciplines who tend to use different words to describe how you present an argument both in a correct and incorrect manner (framing, bias, logical fallacies ect.). I’m interested to see how different disciplines utilize this skill from simply being as bland and logical as possible such as in a scientific paper, or to making an effort to persuade an audience in a speech such as in a debate.

  • Rhetorical Analysis: The Social Dilemma

    For this rhetorical analysis essay I decided to reflect upon the somewhat recent documentary titled “The Social Dilemma”. From gen-zians to baby boomers, this film was dedicated to educating people on the impact of social media on today’s society as we have entered a tech-frenzy world. Just like many other people, I wanted to see what the craze was about when this film was produced back in 2020. From interviews with former tech company employees to societal examples, Jeff Orlowski used various rhetorical strategies to convey an important message within his world-famous film. Growing up during a time where social media was just developing and kids weren’t glued to their iPad’s, I have very clearly noticed the effects social media has had on,

    The Irony of Modesty: An Analysis of a Satirical Speech “A Modest Proposal” written by Jonathan Swift in 1729 begins by deploring indigent Irish families who struggle tirelessly to make an honest living for their large families. This speech pivots on an satirical structure with its use of rhetoric that utilizes the form of ethos, an appeal to the reader's sense of ethics and moral values held throughout Irish society. Pathos, an appeal to invoke countless emotional responses from the readers, and logos, the appeal of logic-statistics that the above subject carries to persuade an audience by reason. By using doublespeak, Swift alludes to different types of rhetoric used throughout this speech such as ironic positive slanting, charged language and even satire to exaggerate and expose the stupidity people exemplify when offering solutions regarding the political issues Ireland was dealing

  • Implore The Audience's Cognitive View Of Writing

    279 Words  | 2 Pages

    Classical view is the perspective of writing towards a group that is external and identifiable by age, education level, beliefs, attitudes, and so on. There is no need to be familiar or unfamiliar with your audience so long as you understand their background. Classical view is beneficial due to the fact you can analyze your key audience before writing to them. Cognitive view will often implore the audience’s cognitive perspective of how they read and process information instead of the using the demographic of their target area. Writers who use cognitive view often approach this different level of motivation to get their audience involved using colors, typefaces, and so on to aid in reading different lessons.
