Summary Of Argument For Lane Community College

807 Words4 Pages

By writing this memorandum it is in my intent to briefly synthesize the information that was acquired during the initial research but also outlines my plans for the completion of the project assigned.

Research Results

The project that I will work on is based on creating a poster about fallacies of argument for Lane Community College (LCC), a 2-year college located in Eugene, Oregon. LCC stands for various core themes: a responsive community engagement, an accessible and equitable learning opportunity, a quality student environment and individual student achievement. Along these core themes, there are a set of core values. One of them is integrity, Lane’s goal is to foster an environment of respect, fairness, honesty, openness and also promoting …show more content…

However, because of the extremely differentiated demographic, the main goal will be to find a medium between a younger group of students and a more mature one (the average age of credit students in Fall 2014 was 27). The best way to attract the audience towards the poster is to create something that will be aesthetically pleasing and structured in such a way that will be easy to memorize, but also serious enough to be connected to the institution that LCC represents. The need for the poster does not necessarily apply to Lane Community College but is limited to the Writing Department. The goal is to create something that student will purposely look for when in need of clarification about fallacies of argument, and to not just create a piece of paper that will be considered just as a piece of decor in …show more content…

The sole reason why I decided to choose this genre is that it respects the ideals I stand for, simplicity and clarity. This is particularly fundamental in regards to this very poster. The topic of it might not seem too appealing to an audience of students, therefore my main goal is to create something that will be aesthetically pleasing to look at, but also something student can confidently rely on when looking for information about Logical Fallacies. I will be designing two posters: firstly a 24x36 one, secondly a 36x24 one. The reason why I'm designing two is that it will help me play with the distribution of the types of fallacies, help me decide how to spread the information on the poster and where to feature the logo of LCC in the most pleasing way possible. The software used for this project will mainly consist of Google Draw, along with some minor usage of the Adobe Suite. The design will be simple, intuitive and clear. As I did with my Quick Reference Card project, I will try to employ the concepts of alignment, contrast, proximity and repetition. I will use 4px boxes to guide the eye to each of the different types of fallacies. Each of the fallacies will be identifiable by a simple logo to help the audience build a connection in their head helping them identify the fallacy they are looking for. In conclusion, I will be looking to follow the “undesign” trend that has been pretty popular among companies across the world

    Rhetorical Analysis Draft Three “The Privileges of The Parents” is written by Margaret A. Miller, a Curry School of Education professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. This woman was a project director for the Pew-sponsored National Forum on college level learning from 2002-2004. This forum assessed the skills and knowledge of college educated students in five states by a way that allowed the test givers to make state-by-state comparisons. Miller believes that “[a] college education has benefits that ripple down through the generations” and this has enabled her to work and speak on topics such as: college level learning and how to evaluate it, change in higher education, the public responsibilities of higher education, campus

    For example, the video uses logos by “making an inductive leap” by having the viewer “use specific observations as the basis of a general conclusion” (Austin 656). The video illustrates how almost every news station reports on stories by following a common sequence. The report has a general overview of the information, then they provide footage, witnesses, a reporter live at the scene, statistics and experts, emails, and tips. Moreover, the video appeals to pathos via humor by ridiculing other news reports. This makes it “more likely [for viewers] to be motivated to adopt an opinion…when logical appeals are combined with appeals that work on an emotional level” (Austin 661).

    Here is an example, " Net neutrality is a grabbag of cartoonish anticorporate populism… Clearly, the notion that everything on the internet is valuable and worthwhile is a hilarious proposition to anyone who has actually been on the internet." (Gregory). Here Gregory makes a caricature of his opponents dispute, essentially mocking them and trying to intentionally misrepresent their argument. That is quite literally the textbook definition for a strawman logos appeal.

    The use of visual cues is an effective way to communicate a particular message to a desired audience. Both text and picture in a political cartoon, or a real life image, can be used to present commentary on a particular political situation. For instance, a political cartoon illustrates Ted Cruz on an island alone with a boat driving away with the wording “GOP Support,” to display the lack of support he gets from fellow Republicans. Furthermore, the article “Obnoxiousness is the New Charisma” written by Frank Bruni, presents an unflattering picture of Ted Cruz with his fist up and a blurred out mouth. Since both these images are anti-Cruz, they are targeted towards an audience who feels similarly towards him, whether conservative or liberal.

    968 Words  | 4 Pages

    For those who have graduated from high school and will continue with their higher education, many if not all of these students will have to pay out of pocket for college. Most of students think that if they graduate from college or a four-year university they will have a chance to work in the professional field rather than work for minimum wage.

In the article “Expanding Community College Access” from The New York Times, President Obama states that tuition for community college should be free, because the American workforce is not educated enough for the global and national workplace.

    In today society, people are easily looked by their college degree level and they can be judged by their degree. But not everybody can afford to go to college in order to get a degree. People have different reasons of not going to college but most of the reasons are because of the tuition. Tuition are too high and they can not afford it. If the free college situation does not make a great effect on the economy, I believe that college should be free because free college can encourage more students to go to college, earn a degree and can decide on their future without the worry of paying debt and contributing to create a better society with their knowledges.
