On October 15th, 2016 Austin Community College’s Department of History and the Diversion of Social and Behavioral Sciences created a history symposium. This symposium consisted of 2 speakers, Theresa Jach and Kemp Dixon, who spoke about convict leasing and the law east of the Pecos. Throughout Theresa’s speech she showed us the similarities between convict leasing and slavery in the early years of American history. She reminds us that while slavery has been abolished, the enslavement of individuals who have been convicted of a crime is still legal and allows the state to have the opportunity to make a profit off of keeping correction facilities full. As time progressed, Theresa informs us of the multitude of punishments that slaves had
Within the speech delivered at the convocation of Douglass College at 1977 by Adrienne Rich, one is able to identify how Rich appeals to her audience emotionally through pathos, when she states, “Responsibility to yourself…means insisting that those to whom you give your friendship and love are able to respect your mind” (Rich). Here, Rich conveys how the student must demand appreciation from others in order to develop academically. The quote engages the reader emotionally as Rich enables one to contemplate whether one truly appreciates his or herself as well as if one considers others dependable, when respecting his or her mind. Therefore, the reader is able to comprehend that if he or she truly appreciates their loved one, he or she would
Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, "Transformed Nonconformist," delivers a powerful message urging the congregation to embrace nonconformist values in their lives in order to find salvation from the struggles of segregation and discrimination. In this essay, we will delve into King's argument by defining values and exploring how he utilized universal, specific, and comparative values in his address.

Abstract In the contemporary capitalist society, the marketing of higher education adopts a highly capitalist-focused rhetoric, with commercials promoting students’ choices in favour of specific educational establishments for financial and not intellectual reasons. Educational institutions use various methods and techniques of persuasion to frame the audience’s beliefs and values in favour of certain educational choices. In connection with pervasive presence of propaganda techniques in marketing, this paper presents a visual and rhetorical analysis of higher education print advertisements’ analysis. This analytical study is intended to show how marketers of higher education reinforce problematic representations that can be read as discriminatory
The article Red Letter Christians is very informative and offers plenty of background information on what the pro-life stance on abortion is about. This article is written by Tony Campolo who is a well-known sociologist and former spiritual advisor to U.S. President Bill Clinton (Campolo). So as you can see he is well accredited in his field. I will be analyzing Campolo’s main arguments and strengths throughout this essay to get a deeper look inside this article. Of all the articles I have read through so far this one seems to be the most reliable and detailed of them all.
Common Sense was a revolutionary piece of work that influenced the attitudes of American colonists and encouraged a resistance against the unlawful behavior of the British Government. The pamphlet garnered the support from the average citizen by breaking down the complexities of the British-American ties and implanted the idea that severance was the only viable solution. Thomas Paine, the writer behind Common Sense, carefully dissected the faults of the Royal Crown to address the ludicrousness of their monarchy governance. Prior to Common Sense, American colonists were greatly divided.
Harris and Alter also mentions Laurie Halse Anderson, an author whose young adult books are frequently challenged. Laurie says, “by attacking these books, by attacking these authors, by attacking the subject matter, what they are doing is removing the possibility for conversation.” This highlights how crucial books that discuss difficult topics are to our society. When books are removed from schools it does not allow students to review difficult situations that can occur. Books do not isolate one individual and their personal experience but rather uses a fictional character to discuss sensitive topics in a way that does not make kids feel alienated and teaches kids to be more empathetic.
The United States is made up of some of the most diverse and interesting cultures in the world. Jamila Lyiscott proves this by showing her different dialects and how they are all equally important. Lyiscott believes that the way she speaks towards her parents, towards her friends, and towards her colleagues are all one in the same. Throughout the entirety of her speech, Lyiscott changes up her vocal patterns and dialects so that the audience can understand first hand what each of these dialects are. When she talks about her father, Lyiscott uses her native tongue, when she talks to her fellow neighbors and close friends she switches it up to a more urbanized dialect, and when she is in school she masks the other two dialects with a professional sounding language.
Ursula Fialho Short Paper #2 To respond to the first question in hands here, of what is our job as students of speech and persuasion? Are we supposed to help these speakers achieve their goals, or are we supposed to improve their argumentation or communication? As students, we are constantly learning so many approaches to speech criticism, different ways of breaking down a text and evaluating the author, the text, the purpose, the audience, the effectiveness. And with that, as students we should be applying all forms of criticism to achieve the best reflection and evaluation of weather that speech was effective in some ways or others.
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
Kathryn Stockett successfully uses rhetorical devices to get the reader to feel and understand the perspectives of the protagonists. Stockett uses pathos, ethos, and logos in her book, since the book about social injustice. The topics in the book range from inequality of the sexes to social classes and racism, Stockett is successful in getting the reader to reflect while reading the book and the themes of the book have a clear presence. We see Stockett use ethos and pathos in the very first chapters when we learn that Hilly doesn't like Minny and Minny doesn't want to say why at first, but the incident with Ms. Holbrook was affecting her chances of getting a job because of the influence Hilly has over this suburban society. In some instances where Stockett uses ethos, pathos is also included in her writing.
For this rhetorical analysis essay I decided to reflect upon the somewhat recent documentary titled “The Social Dilemma”. From gen-zians to baby boomers, this film was dedicated to educating people on the impact of social media on today’s society as we have entered a tech-frenzy world. Just like many other people, I wanted to see what the craze was about when this film was produced back in 2020. From interviews with former tech company employees to societal examples, Jeff Orlowski used various rhetorical strategies to convey an important message within his world-famous film. Growing up during a time where social media was just developing and kids weren’t glued to their iPad’s, I have very clearly noticed the effects social media has had on,
