Recommended: The influence of culture on film

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia provided many different sources of human emotion, some different from the American ways and some the same. The director tested the audience’s patience, by opening very slowly but making sure he showed reactions and facial and body expressions very well. In the beginning while they were searching for the body the camera would begin far away with the cars coming in the distance, you would hear the men speaking. As the camera got closer the thing that stood out the most was the facial expressions Kenan has and will have for the entirety of the movie. He has a look of desperation, and depression. As you read more into this expression, it looked as if he doesn’t feel bad for himself, but he feels bad for his family and others around him. The movie utilizes the camera angles, meaning the way the camera …show more content…

The film shows many differences between turkey and America, one being how law enforcement is run, how people act in different situations and also what different symbols mean in the different culture. The director had this hidden message connected to the film, I believe it is the idea that an adult’s child will be the ones paying for their mistakes, not the parents. This ties into why Kenan would be showing the certain emotions he did and why at the end of the movie his family stood and watched him get taken away, not doing anything but just stood there. I think we may have watched this movie also because it’s here to teach us that our mistakes will always have effects, not only on us but the people around us especially family. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia was a depicted movie, focusing directly on human expression. The way the director uses expression, word choice and body language gets across an implied message as well as a spoken message. The film gave me insight of what another culture may consist of and how things are ran in different

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. The readings by Crusus, Channell, and Drucker helped establish a clear relationship between argument, “mature reasoning”, and communication as a mode used to communicate. Both of the readings provided a clearer understanding of argument and communication, key components to rhetoric, but did not change my definition until I read “The Rhetorical Situation” by Bitzer. The idea of a rhetorical situation, provided a clear application of the question: “What is rhetoric?”

I am happy to join with you today, as the Senator of the Hoosier state that is Indiana, in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for patriotism in the history of our nation. It is as if that a mere third of a century ago, we were not a nation, we were not united, we ran by tyranny, the British fed on our fear. Not today, now we have a nation, one day we will have a country from sea to sea. And that can be complete if we Americans do one thing. Fight the Mexicans for that land.

The Onion uses satirical humor to poke fun at modern advertisements and the gullibility of Americans have by mocking the techniques used to sell consumer goods; it does this through its mocking publication of a product called MagnaSoles. This article uses quotes from customers that have bought MagnaSoles, subtle jokes and puns, and the over exaggeration of the sciences implemented by Magnasoles. The article is rampant with subtle hints, jokes, and puns that key the reader in that this article is a joke. With the use of "pseudoscientists" and "pseudoscience" used throughout the article, as well as the "scientific-sounding literature", this is an indicator that this is not real science talking. It also makes fun of the use of making a paper seem more credible through its constant

Before delving into Azari’s conclusions on mandate rhetoric, her methodology is interesting. She analyzes a dataset of news conferences, television and radio addresses, minor addresses made during travel and at meetings of groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, messages to Congress, and various remarks and memoranda addressed to members of the executive branch, totaling 1,467 communications from 1933 to 2009. The important thing to note is that she confines her dataset to the first 70 days of each term of a president. She argues this controls for “exogenous events and facilitates comparison across presidential administrations.” The problem with this small size is that it limits the dataset to roughly 5 percent of a single presidential term.

Mark Twain, an 18th century humorist, was known for his critical and satirical writing. In one of his most famous essays, “ Fenimore Coopers Literary Offenses” Twain addresses Coopers inability to realistically develop a “situation” and his failure to effectively back up his stories in order for them to be more plausible. To dramatically convey his unimpressed and sarcastic attitude, he applies biting diction, metaphors and hypophora throughout this work . By continuously using biting diction, Twain develops a mocking tone towards Fenimore Cooper’s incapability to create even the simplest of storylines. In the title of the work a sarcastic tone is evident; the word choice is utilized to reinforce the argument stating how Coopers work is an offense to the world of literature.

Critics relate the play’s inspiration to Pinter’s findings about the torture and inhumane penitentiary practices in Turkey in 1985 and his anger at the inconsiderate and callous attitude of two young Turkish women toward their country’s human rights violation. The Kurds have experienced a long history of oppression as a minority group in Turkey since the 1920s when the map of the middle-east was revised with the Kurdish population finding themselves divided by four countries – Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and, Syria. Finding the massive Kurdish population as a threat to the existence of the Turkish government, the Turk rulers have for years curtailed the basic rights of the Kurdish people, made the Kurdish language illegal, forbade Kurdish schools, organizations and publications, confiscated Kurdish land and property and still today invade Kurdish districts, blow up Kurdish homes, jail Kurds for no reason other than being a Kurd, torture Kurdish prisoners. An evidence of the pinnacle of the megalomaniac condition of the Turkish rulers and their government officials can be seen in the declaration made by the Turkish Minister of Justice in
