The book discusses physical education programs as well as the negative implications of video games (Toraro, 2014). Each chapter is a separate study on different challenges that face physical education programs from daycare centers to middle schools. In one study, the author concludes that one aspect that needs to be addressed is the attitudes of students towards physical education as the results varied (Toraro, 2014).

The persuasive techniques Ethos, Pathos, and Logos are used to assist the author in their claim and sound convincing. In the articles “Position on Dodgeball in Physical Education,” by The National Association for Sport and Physical Education, and “The Weak Shall Inherit the Gym,” by Rick Reilly, both authors use persuasive techniques to make their claims on dodgeball in physical education. The article, “Position on Dodgeball in Physical Education,” created by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, short for NASPE, focuses on using logos throughout the article.

Physical education, exercise science, and sports professionals all play a significant role in getting students, clients, and players to meet the goals and objectives of Healthy People 2020 and The Surgeon General’s Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation. Having a healthy lifestyle starts at an early phase in life. According to the text, “Adolescence is an important age for developing health habits that will persist into adulthood (79).” With that said, in order for them to have that healthy lifestyle they must become educated about the risks of inactivity as early as possible. Physical education is an “ongoing process of learning” that is incorporated in schools so that students learn to use that knowledge throughout their lives and also learn to enjoy doing it.

This quote relays the fact that the NASPE has gone far enough to establish standards for sports that people are expected to follow. This demonstrates how authority was used yet again to convince the reader that the situation presented was the correct goal. As one can see, the belief that dodgeball is inappropriate for schools is supported by the association and credibility of the authors. In addition, logic and data are used to support banning dodgeball in all schools. For instance, to provide a clear definition of gym class, the authors state, “The purpose of physical education is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to be physically active for a lifetime”(986).

By saying this, the reader is shown how the author of this article leverages the credibility behind their organization and the use of authority to support their claim about dodgeball.
