My definition of rhetoric before the readings was simply: successful written or oral communication with a clear purpose & audience in mind. After completing the readings, I have decided that is not specific enough and does not encompass what rhetoric really is.

He tells us in his article that he went on a trip around the world and made dancing videos with the people he met and what he learned was that people wanted to feel connected. He touches on the topic on how we have a ancient way of thinking when it comes to the type of people we socialize with.

Throughout the manifesto, “Time Ain’t Money”, by Douglas Rushkoff, deliberately creates a persona that is straightforward to address the views of CEO’s, and how they run their companies.

In the essay, “Time Ain’t Money”, Rushkoff uses examples to show presentisms authority on culture change.

Consider the tomato; it is ripe, farm fresh, and transformable to any desired recipe.

The process of obtaining food has undoubtedly changed.

The young boy is mentioned because it creates a sense of innocence.

What made you happy as a child? Children do not think of money as bringing happiness to their lives. The only things that matter are how they perceive pleasure, how much they feel loved, and what brings them joy. As people grow older, they may assume that the more money they have, the happier they will be.
