During these few weeks democrats and Republicans Who are running for president were engaged in a battle to win the Iowa caucus. The state of Iowa hosted the first official vote of the 2016 campaign. During the Iowa caucus, different tactics and strategies were used by both parties to gain votes, through the use of persuasion ,repugnant comments, and the use of the media. The two articles I will be discussing, “ Ad Wars of 2016 Campaign Erupt in a Changing TV Arena” by Nick Corasaniti and “Attack ! why next 2 weeks could get nastier than ever” by Jennifer Jacobs. Although both articles discuss the same thing, the author word it differently. In this essay, I intend to explore the question ‘’What makes the article by Nick Corasaniti persuasive and jennifer Jacobs’ article objective?”. In both articles, the authors Nick Corasaniti and Jennifer Jacobs quote experts who conclude their opinion regarding the actions of the candidates and the negative outcome. For example, …show more content…
For example Corasanti uses persuasion and Jennifer uses objectivity to show the attitudes of the candidate. Corasanti quotes “ It's like the end of the Quentin Tarantino movie, Where everyone is shooting everyone else”. Corsiantiti quote gives more of a violent scene from a movie where everyone attacks each other. He uses this quote to reveal how candidates will react during a debate or while usings negative comments. However this quote is considered an opinion because it judges the campaign in a negative way. In the article by Jacobs she also mentions a movie scene. She states “As presidential street fighters feel their poll number wobble, could Iowa start to resemble the fight scene from “Anchorman’’? This scene is from a comedy in which Jennifer Asserts it in a ironic way instead of violent. Also she mentioned it as a question, where it led readers to think how funny the battles
The essay is composed of two part, the first part which starts with a brief familiarization about culture expressed within the group writing the essay and the different tasks tackled by each group member. Then the second part goes into ethos, pathos and logos all forms of Rhetoric uses to convince the audience of one’s credibility or capability of something, in this case the right to Presidency. This essay discusses the use of each of these appeals within the candidates running for the 2016 candidacy. With the use of these appeals come fallacies which are also discussed within the essay. Also discussed is our take on the candidates, who we found most convincing or least qualified for the job which they are trying to convince us they deserve.
Question two As the chairman for the Republican National Convention and knowing that Buckley V Valeo decision will not be soon changed, I would argue against changing the current campaign system in the most spectacular way. I would get on air and frame as the case as the liberal media trying to suppress free speech. I would attack the media on its double standards and vendetta against businesses. The press demands to know the inner working of institutions, yet it hardly respects other people’s right to assemble nor does it promote candidates that reflect the views of people whom want to make America great.
Summary In the Read Aloud Handbook Chapter 9 by Jim Trelease (2006), Mr. Trelease discusses the issue of Television and Children. He starts Chapter 9 with a story about a single mother raising two young boys in the heart of Detroit, Michigan. The single mother is Sonya Carson and her youngest son is Mr. Ben Carson known today as the leading pediatric neurosurgeon and current Republican nominee for President of the United States. Mr. Trelease (2006) mentions in his article, how Mrs. Carson made her boys study, and in turn their grades improved; by the time Ben graduated from high school he was “third in his class” (p. 1).
Part 2 of our course focused on the analysis of a wide range of political speeches and on the use of rhetorical devices. More specifically, we have studied the debate on gun violence and how different politicians presented their point of view either in defence of or against gun legislation. For this task, I decided to take on the role of Senator Christopher Murphy and to discuss the ongoing problem of weak gun control in the U.S.A. by using a political speech. This text type, written to be conveyed at the Senate after the Parkland, Florida mass shooting, best suits my intentions , since it would be likely for the topic to be discussed in the two Houses after the tragedy. It makes use of ethos, given the senator’s personality and his long history as a
In our unit Rhetoric and Politics, we learned about ethos, pathos, and logos. We also learned about logical fallacies and political platforms. It was very interesting to learn about and now I see these devices all the time when looking at advertisements. In order to learn about advertisements we got to watch a lot of video advertisements. After watching and breaking down advertisements and the specific thoughts, mechanics, and fallacies advertisers use to motivate us to buy products, we got to make our own video.
Does television tyrannize the presidency? On the TV you watch and listen as the crowd laughs, and the people you listen to rant and rave on their own opinions. People watch in shock and awe finding great amusement for these fantastic events. Although you might think of a game show, these events are on TV regularly televised on debates.
In the “Deplorable” commercial published on September 12, 2016, Donald Trump creates a short clip using criticism against Hilary Clinton for her statement calling Trumps advocates deplorable. By exploiting her statement and wanting to gain supporters, Trump attempts to create a bad reputation for her in order for. Trump uses rhetorical tactics like the type of music, background effects, and his use of vocabulary to grab his viewers' attention and give them reasons to support him through this Presidential debate. My purpose is to show each of these techniques Donald Trump uses in his commercial to be able to give Hillary a bad name which may help him win the 2016 Presidential election.
1. One of the main arguments of the debate was overall the definition of the presidential campaign. The opposition really laid into the idea that the campaign was about winning, that it wasn’t focusing on the end goal of presidency, but instead the process of getting to that point should be emphasized with emotion and drama. That the campaign is about winning and process getting their not about the actual presidency. The proposition countered with that the result of the election shouldn’t be forgotten and that the character and morality that is demonstrated in the campaign is an indicator of their presidency.
In general, the media tends to cover races that are competitive, and the more competitive the race, the more likely it will be covered. Also, when races have the potential to interest viewers in other ways, such as elections in which celebrities run for office, there is a greater chance of media coverage as well. Through the use of paid media, contrast and attack ads, and the internet in general, television and media affect the choice of candidates in presidential elections in multiple ways. In terms of paid media, as stated in “Am Gov 2015-2016,” candidates may utilize paid media in order to “emphasize their good character and their stand on important issues” (220).
In The Outrage Industry, Berry and Sobieraj argue that the topic of media outrage is very multidimensional. Outrage is defined as avstrong reaction with anger, shock, or rage. In the political context, this could be how citizens react to a speech a politician has made, commentary between politicians aired on television, and or commentary between political journalists. America loves sensationalism. When the media broadcasts negatively charged reactions between political journalists or politicians, their ratings go up.
The article I chose from FlowTV was written by Drew Morton of UCLA and is titled, Comics to Film (And Halfway Back Again): A DVD ESSAY. Morton’s main argument was that there had not been much exposure or even a gateway for visual essays and that they should be a part of education in media and film. His evidence is shown through a project he did on both convergence as well as the use of “trans-media” storytelling (meaning telling the same story through different forms of media) used by the Comic Book industry. Morton came up with his own “working theory” of comic books role in media. His way of showing this was through the convergence of this type of media itself.
Throughout history it was obvious that the key to a good presidential campaign was a good slogan. Each election year something new and unseen came up about the candidates that made them increasingly entertaining, and occasionally impactful. From mud slinging to parades, from taunting to ignoring, each political candidate had an interesting year that is left down in history for all to wonder about what they were thinking. Tippecanoe and Tyler Too (William Henry Harrison 1840) This crazy slogan is actually incredibly influential.
DISCUSSION In this section, I will talk about three distinct advertisements and explain the plausible techniques used by the party to get the votes. 1. The Advertisement
In this 2008 Presidential campaign was the year President Barack Obama and John McCain were fighting for Presidency were both Democrat and Republican parties were going at each other by giving one are the other a bad reputation on each of their campaign ad. On the many issues of Education, Immigration, Guns, Taxes, Health Care, Housing, Abortions, Iraq, Social Security that occurred in 2008. In the political ad, “Rearview Mirror” President Barack Obama narrator tells us “Wonder where John McCain would take the economy look behind you” letting us know that candidate John McCain wants to continue with George Bush economic policies and by doing this to his fellow Americans he is affecting are ethos and pathos. The video, then goes into a faster
David Setaris wrote an important reflection and criticisms about the undecided voters in the American elections. Information is crucial for all voters when making the decision about which candidate will be better as leader for the American people. Analyzing the candidate platform, their point of view, and perspectives are important things to look for when making the right decision .Undecided and confused voters are an easily influential target, who end up making the wrong decision .Political affiliation and decisions are individual rights that should always be respected.
