(Carey, 2016, p. 26) There are many different ways for planners to brush up on their knowledge of their work. The best way to learn about upcoming changes is to speak to an industry professional in person, however there are many online options including taking classes and connecting through LinkedIn or Google-plus. (Carey, 2016, p. 26) I agree that the industry always changes and as new information comes out we race to understand them.

The rhetoric he uses is key to developing an understanding persona and an emotional appeal that exposes the implied biases of people without alienating or offending the audience, to whom-- among others-- he attributes these biases.
