The information on the pH of the ocean was really interesting. She explains well how one tenth of a difference in pH makes a huge difference in the ocean life (p 114). I think it makes the topic approachable for the
Likewise, this example can appeal to some public as it advocates proper conversational care. In terms of concerns, not only does Carson care effectively about the use of pesticides and chemicals among
A Doctors Dilemma I do not like the essay, “A Doctors Dilemma” written by James Dillard. The whole story was well written, but contradicting. The persuasion was driven by whether to help a dying person or save his future career.
It was very enlightening and informative. It is quite a sight to see so many African American intellectuals gathered in one room . There were round table open discussion and many
His career in medicine really helped him capture the science behind these writings to make them feel real. (Kumbier
He does a great job of introducing the true definition of rhetoric and how it was used centuries ago and allows us to see how it continues to live on before our very own eyes. By providing real life scenarios and past experiences, he allows us to connect to his personalized persuasive tools. He says “by teaching the tricks we use to persuade one another, the art of persuasion reveals the Matrix in all manipulative glory” (4) -which is true. All persuasion is is manipulation that tries to change “your mood, your mind, or your willingness to do something” (17). Advertising companies do it all the time with visual analysis of both commercials and billboards by using pathos.
Dr. Derek Cabrera’s thought on metacognition, human and education is absorbing. He shares perspectives on four universal thinking skills: Distinctions; “Systems; Relationships; and Perspectives (DSRP)” that should be taught in learning institutions. Dr. Cabrera states, “Thinking is simply a process of structuring information and doing something meaningful with it.” Dr. Cabrera also argues that people lack critical analytical thinking, great at school work, but not real life situation. Education needs to be fixed from the bottom up; that can be accomplished by teaching thinking skills.
I enjoyed all the presentation but four people really caught my attention and I would love to learn more about them. I was enthralled by the Roscoe Arbuckle story. Leni Riefenstahl was an absolutely fascinating person. Robert Rodriguez’s story made me want to learn more about his filmmaking. Lastly, I want to learn more about Katherine Hepburn.
And here we are, where the goal is to treat every single human on the planet who needs HIV treatment" (Dr. Farmers Remedy for World Health). I find this anthropologist particularly interesting because his story is so diverse. He received a great education with impressive degrees and has held many highly recognized job titles. His cultural accomplishments are educated and diplomatic as well as for the greater good, which to me is
He used pathos throughout his speech by providing personal stories and information relatable to the audience which helps him get support to get certain things done. A quote from the speech to back
He used an example of when he would go on a run in Los Angeles back in 1979. After five minutes, he couldn’t breath due to the pollution and smog in the air. This was a reoccurring thing. Also, before that the Cuyuga River burning because of pollution, and acid rain threatening to destroy all the great forests of the Northeast were used as examples pertaining to an audience older than him. President Richard Nixon and President George H.W. Bush were confronted with similar issues that they found solutions to.
Carol addressed Colourphobia in Canada and how it affected black culture when white people were prejudice against black people who had hatred feelings of hostility towards black people. She explained the importance of the Underground Railroad and how it allowed hundreds of slaves to escape from United States and seek freedom in Canada in the 1820s. It was interesting listening to history that took place in St. Catharine’s. This railroad was important in history for black slaves to escape and gain their independence and freedom. The thing I didn’t like about her presentation was that she read off her sheet, which was not engaging for the audience.
After reading the interview with one of his daughters my mind began to alter and side with Skinner. His own daughter seemed to love him and appreciate all of his hard work. If his own daughters loved him, maybe the world did not truly understand him. A man so smart was hated by so many, but yet, he changed the way we think about psychology today. If a rat with the mind of a bean can be trained, what else is this world capable of?
