The author will usually rely on his examples to prove is arguments. He does not explain the claims he makes, which decrease the strength of his arguments. For example, he mentions that a high-five is “not the mutual appreciation of achievement, but the feeling we get upon the achievement of mutual appreciation”. This statement is arguable, some people perform the high-five to actually show appreciation of achievement rather than of trying. The author does not signify whatsoever why the high-five does not mean “job well-done”.

In the Introduction, Jay Heinrichs provides the reader with a foundation about the upcoming concepts on rhetoric, persuasion, seduction, and argument used in our everyday lives and in writing. Throughout this section, he discusses rhetoric that he encounters throughout life and without rhetoric it is merely impossible. He tries to go through a non rhetorical day, but it turns “out to be pretty darn rhetorical, but nonetheless agreeable” (11). Rhetoric prevents fighting, because without an agreement, people use fighting as a way of arguing. So, although people may see rhetoric as manipulation and/or seduction, it provides an agreement, within an otherwise violent, aggravating argument.
From the Rogerian Argument, “Debate about Grant Reform in Indiana,” the author gathered the opposition’s stance for why Indiana Commission for Higher Education (CHE) does not increase funding for part-time students. According to CHE, exclusively part-time students have very low completion rates in both two-year and four-year institutions; less than 4% in eight years at a four year institution compared to switchers in the same time frame completion rates are 75.3%. At the two-year institutions, exclusively part-time students are slightly higher in a six year program, students completion rates are less than 9% compared to switchers who complete in six years at 56.5% (Indiana Commission for Higher Education. “Indiana Part-Time College Students.”
Furthermore, the type of examples Kluger, Aciman, and Steinmetz utilize involve strong data and facts to support their piece and make it more convincing. To illustrate, they describe, “ Just since 2004, the share of Americans who identify themselves as optimists has plummeted from 79% to 50%, according to a new Time poll. Meanwhile, more than 20% of us will suffer from a mood disorder at some point in our lifetimes and more than 30% from an anxiety disorder. By the time we 're 18 years old, 11% of us have been diagnosed with depression” (Kluger, Aciman, and Steinmetz 2). Given that their audience consists of more educated, well-read people, this evidence is particularly useful due to the fact it contains numbers and data that prove the writer 's’ main point and persuade their readers.
Philosophy 224 Monday/Wednesday 10-11:15 WORD COUNT In a small village, deep in the South American jungle of Guyana, two men overlook a massacre of over 900 people.

Through the analysis of the numerous arguments throughout the course, I was made aware of the detrimental effects logical fallacies have on an argument if left undetected or detected. Although the use of appeals was a review from high school, I initially had trouble distinguishing the appeals from each other.
Arguments happen everyday in history and now a days. Weather the arguments come from speeches, debates, body language, or even a paper; they contribute to everyday life. These arguments can happen by audio or visual rhetorics which help to strengthen the argument and its purpose. Both Daniel H. Cohen and FDR use great rhetorics in their speeches, ethos and pathos, while keeping in mind the audiences they are speaking to. These two men both had a purpose in their speeches, weather it to argue the importance and ways of argument winning, or the future of the country.

To make his concept clear within the reading, adding your opinion in respect to the other view points is a good way to state the opposing ideas and should clearly standout where you stand among the two concepts.

Rhetoric should come back as a staple in learning. Rhetoric can help students recognize persuasion and develop critical thinking skills. Jay Heinrich says in his book that rhetoric has been an essential part of education throughout history. Only recently has rhetoric become generally unpopular. Bringing back rhetoric to students can open up a whole new world of understanding that they might never have seen before.
