The rhetorical and cultural perspectives are always at play in interactions. The rhetorical perspectives describes the strategic choices in an interaction. The cultural perspective recognizes that the choices one makes in communication are deeply rooted in one's culture. In this interaction I strategically chose to provide accounts of Dee’s promises in order to demand actions for her to take. There is not enough evidence to interpret how/if Dee is using the rhetorical perspective in the interaction. The cultural perspective recognizes that the differences in Dee and I’s interpersonal ideologies, and how it developed the differences in the way we framed the interaction, which caused face threats and challenges in our communication.

The analysis of rhetorical situations could determine the outer or inner influences of the rhetors, the audience, and their particular constraints. Grant Davie supports his claims by using the earlier definitions of scholars and teachers as his foundation. He also addresses his own analysis drawn by life experienced discourses which it also helps the reader understand the causes of rhetorical situations. This is important because it teaches any writer or reader to analyze a situation and think about the options and paths it could lead

Multimodal Rhetoric is the use of design elements, such as images and charts, to enhance the argument through visuals. My use of multimodal elements was to aid in the persuasion of the current problem. I did not rely on the design elements of the report to make my arguments. I was confident early on that I would use multimodal elements as an enhancer, rather than a crutch. I chose the use of comics because I feel they are an efficient use of pathos and logos.

Rhetorical Precis #4: “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan Amy Tan’s purpose in her article “Mother Tongue” is to show the influence of her mother’s style of english. She also relates this to a more broad topic of the idea that there are many different types of english that people speak that are tailored to whoever they are speaking to. She begins this piece by stating plainly that she is not an english scholar. Instead of decreasing her credibility it actually increases it and paints this piece as a more personal set of observations rather than a bland overview of the entire language.

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.

For its analysis, this writing will mostly use the critical approach of intercultural communication. This critical approach refers to a meta-theoretical approach with some assumptions of the interpretive approach of intercultural communication, but it focuses more on macro-contexts, such as the political and social structures that influence communication (Martin and Nakayama 67). By itself, interpretive approach refers to an intercultural communication approach that attempts to describe and understand human behavior within cultural groups based on these assumptions: human experience is subjective, human behavior is

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.

If the subject at hand is a cultural norm for a large extent of a given society, then it will be difficult to negatively frame said subject in a negative manner without eroding the overall message. This challenge of subject and focus is relevant to some of todays issues that continue to be debated on the mass media outlets. The Rhetorical Act mentions that there are four obstacles that can arise from cultural history, and I believe that it’s beneficial to analyze two of the more important obstacles (pg. 234). One of the bigger challenges among cultural history is how we responds to issues that we perceive to be a loaded subject. For instance, if an individual was trying to spread the importance gay marriage at a mainly catholic event, it would be difficult for the speaker to have an engaged audience whom is willing to fully participate.

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

Critique of “The Power of Situations” "The Power of Situations”, by Lee Ross and Richard E. Nisbett, explains to the reader that the way humans respond to a situation is looked at wrong by most individuals. The authors tell how most people look at the wrong side of situations. On most occasions people look to see who the situation is happening to, instead of focusing on the situation itself and the proper responses that one would expect to see. The information in this passage would be most relevant to a student pursuing a psychology degree. Although, it could be read with purpose by anyone with interests in psychology.

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,

In her essay, “I Had a Nice Time with you Tonight, on the app,” Jenna Wortham believes that social media apps are a helpful way to connect. Wortham swears by apps and is grateful that she can communicate with her boyfriend who is three thousand miles away. Yet some may challenge the view that Social Media apps are a reliable and effective method of communicating, Sherry Turkle stresses people are substituting online communication for face-to-face interaction. Although Turkle may only seem of concern to only a small group of people, it should in fact concern anyone who cares about the negative effects social media can have on people. In her eyes, nothing can replace person-to-person communication.
