Saunders also conveys how business marketing tactics breed cruelty and vanity in society’s elites. The lack of ethics fuels a sense of superiority in product users through brutal subjugation of those who don’t use them. In this society, violent imagery is commonplace and immoral behavior is encouraged to sell products. Society pardons characters like Kevin for their actions because they are winners who are propagating the consumerist message (they help sell the product). This vindication is further illustrated in the third vignette when an orange’s polite questioning of a Slap-of-Wack bar is answered by violent stabbing.
By misinterpreting and attacking the nuanced areas of the opposition’s argument, one is able to elevate his own argument while degrading that of the opposition’s. Even when an argument is sound and logical, if it contains a single unclear phrase open to interpretation that is followed by critical mockery, it appears inconsequential and foolish to an audience. Such is the case in an exchange between Richard Seaver, the Executive Vice President of the Grove Press publishing company, and Ira Herbert, an executive of Coca-Cola, regarding their common use of the marketing slogan, “it’s the real thing”. Herbert’s argument is innately logical but poorly supported and executed.

In the essay, “Life under the Chief Doublespeak Officer,” the author, William Lutz, describes the use of doublespeak and its effects on society. Life under the Chief Doublespeak Officer’s purpose is to express to the reader the way corporations try and cover up the real meaning behind what is going on through the use of doublespeak. The saying, “say what you mean and mean what you say” is the complete opposite of what doublespeak is. Double speak is saying what needs to be said to cover up the real meaning or thing that is actually happening. Throughout the essay, Lutz constantly uses specific details in verbalizing the many way doublespeak is used and gives clear and concise examples to support each of his points.
In his essay “The World of Doublespeak,” William Lutz define doublespeak as “a blanket term for language which makes the bad seem good, the negative appear positive, the unpleasant attractive, or at least tolerable” (2013). Lutz goes on to claim “It is language which avoids, shifts, or denies responsibility” (2013). He explains the purpose of doublespeak is to “mislead, distort, deceive, inflate” (2103). Based on many of his examples, such as wording an airplane as an airplane that has had “uncontrolled contact with the ground,” or referring to a city slum as the resident of the “fiscal underachievers,” I feel he may overstate his own definition of doublespeak. While, the play on words in these examples does attempt to deceive the read and

If you start thinking, the movie has many strong messages. For example; when Max is on the basement he is sure that one day he will go out, and at the same time he is strong and he finds a motivation (In this case is Liessel telling him how is the day). With Liessel we can see a lot of lessons: curiosity, passion for reading and knowledge. Also, the story show us to persist fighting no matter how bad are the things around you.

Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.
Paraphrasing In my opinion, the purpose of the essay, “Life under the Chief Doublespeak Officer” the author, William Lutz shares a descriptive analogy of doublespeak words and terms used in this era by American businesses to manipulate. These words and terms are used everywhere from the corporate world, financial institutions to small independent businesses. One descriptive writing pattern used in this essay is compare the Unfamiliar to the Familiar where Lutz used buzzwords as “competitive dynamics” (unfamiliar) and provides a related word as “synergy” for an effective description of how doublespeak can be an effective, but eluded practice in business. He provides several examples in various lines of business of how common or established

When arguing for racial equality, James Farmer Jr. quotes St.Augustine, “An unjust law is no law at all.” He claims that just laws are meant to protect all citizens; whereas, unjust laws that discriminate Negroes are not laws to be followed, thus raising awareness of racial discrimination by using emotional and logical appeals. In The Great Debaters, Henry Lowe appeals to the audience’s emotions during a debate about Negro integration into state universities. To challenge his opponent’s claim that the South isn 't ready to integrate Negroes into universities, he affirms that if change wasn’t forcefully brought upon the South, Negroes would “still be in chains,” which is an allusion to slavery. With this point, he is able to raise awareness of
What is Doublespeak? Doublespeak is an old language that grew in the past and show the positive aspects of negativity.

Jarrell Yves L. Chua CSETHICS Aaron Swartz’s political advocacy was about the freedom of information to the public. He wanted to give the people the free access to academic journals, federal court documents, government issues, etc. He didn’t like the idea of having to pay for information or knowledge that a person should learn or know. I think that his main concern were the marginalized sectors, wherein they don’t have free access to knowledge, news, and other important documents. As a college student, I definitely agree with his political advocacy because a lot of people will benefit from it.
Someone may misinterpret what they have been told or read. Because this happens on a daily basis. This equivocal language can be humiliating and uncomfortable. When the
