Tokenism occurs when culture diversity and difference are not affirmed and are not put into every day practices. It is important to display different cultural themes, art work and pictures around so that it can be use by children in their everyday activities and also to show that the practice is a culture friendly environment. Tokenism is when minimal effort is put towards something. Tokeism is when very little effort is put into something and to avoid this from happening it is important that educators and professionals make an effort to include culture and activities to make everyone feel welcome no matter where they may come from or what background they hold.

Desiree Sanchez Mrs. Everett English 1302 April 17, 2017 Luce Rhetorical Analysis American journalist and politician Clare Boothe Luce gave a speech at the Women’s National Press Club in 1960, criticizing the tendency of the American press to sacrifice journalistic integrity. Before giving her speech, she prepares the audience for her message with her introduction segment. Luce uses her introduction to prepare the audience for her message by repeating the fact that she was invited to give the speech, stating that she is in a difficult situation, and asking them to be open minded of her opinions. In the first paragraph, Luce opens with a paradox about her feelings from happy to feeling challenged.

Phelps in this article examines why the United States has scored low on international tests consecutively for many years, and, though there are doubtless numerous factors that come into play, he determines that the most constituent for the results has to do with metrication, or lack thereof, in America. He also details his investigations of the possible repercussions of metrication, deciding that it would be beneficial for the country to convert to the metric system. His argument is ultimately well placed, thoroughly inspecting a multitude of angles in regards to the case. From both a financial and mental standpoint, it appears that switching from the imperial (also known as English or custom) system would be in the best interests of the nation

Genre Throughout the different texts we analyzed in the first half of the quarter, we looked at the various genres of the texts in order to see how they affect rhetoric. Genres are important to rhetoric because they raise and manage expectations the audience might have for a specific work. This is because people have internalized the generic conventions of a genre. We delved into these conventions by analyzing different genres of texts such as Pitbull’s music video, film, various poems, and speeches. An example of how we analyzed a genre is how we annotated Horace’s poem about carpe diem.

Politicians call for missile defense projects. Many defense projects have failed and cost not only the government but taxpayers over 50 billion dollars. Lee Fang, a writer for The Intercept, shows how ineffective these programs have been in the past. The persuasiveness of Lee's argument in his article “Politicians Use North Korea H-Bomb Fears to Pitch Wasteful Missile Defense Projects” is based on a logical approach using facts, (logos), an emotion approach trying to rally us up (pathos), and on his credibility and the creditability of his sources (ethos). Lee's appeal to our logical (logos) side is based on facts.

In the short story “A Rose for Emily” written by William Faulkner we see how he foreshadows that Emily is the murderer of Homer. Within the introduction we are told that William Faulkner was a Southern writer who loved to write comedy and tragedy. I would definitely consider “A Rose for Emily” one of his best tragedy that he has written as it contains suspense and foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is defined as a literary device in which a writer gives an advance hint of what is to come later in the story.

Often known as the Father of American Literature to many educated individuals, Ralph Waldo Emerson in his oration “The American Scholar” brilliantly provides a sublime example of how Emerson earned his title through the appliance of diction, syntax, allusions, and many other rhetorical devices and strategies. Indicated towards his highly educated audience, the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Emerson introduces the idea that the common class and common concepts of everyday life are becoming the future of art and literature through purpose, credibility, and tone. As many great writers, Emerson does not simply tell about his idea, but instead uses rhetorical strategies to help show his central point, one such strategy being purpose. Being focused on informing his audience of the coming days, the use of purpose can be

IDEA lists three ways of being culturally skilled in the classroom. This includes the teacher being culturally alert in the class to connect the gap of learning about other ethnicities, learning to communicate to students in unwritten and non-vocal styles, and know the different views of the cultures, for example, skin-to skin contact, no communication, the clothing of the student, and simple gestures. This is important in my eyes because my school alone is very diverse, and I had my share of teachers that did not respect a certain students religion or culture. This upset me and made me want to learn more about different cultures and religions. It also leads me to want to work harder to become more culturally aware, and diverse for my future students and willing to do what I can to break down barriers that may be created by students of different cultures or religions.
