@Brookheng280 Shows how there’s two sides to its use. Since both sides are using similar rhetorical strategies, it shows the importance of using it properly #engl280mu
@nemogirl0910 I agree. As each went on, the topics become considerably more modern and it’s interesting to see the influence of rhetoric today #engl280mu
Now that we’re nearly at the end of the semester, I can say with confidence that Intro to Rhetoric has definitely opened my eyes to the importance of studying this topic #engl280mu
The dark interactions that take place from using the internet is admittedly frightening. The convenience of internet access at the cost of our personal information is something that should be at the forefront of our minds #engl280mu
In recent weeks, I have been doing my notes and chapter quiz at the same time. Aside from the “two birds, one stone” advantage, it also helps me to focus more on the important ideas from the readings #engl280mu
Completing assignments early makes it considerably easier to take time to reflect on the readings. I’m still surprised every week by how much influence rhetoric has in my day-to-day life #engl280mu
I think it’s interesting to see how dark interactions have applications which can be used for both right and wrong purposes. It shows how the ethics of rhetoric are based on how we use it #engl280mu
The notes assignments these last few weeks has been great for helping me to really comprehend the readings. Wish I had started doing so from the beginning of the semester #engl280mu
As we near the end of the semester, I’ve really started to realize just how much influence the study and use of rhetoric has. I’m glad I was able to take this course and learn about something so relevant to our every day lives #engl280mu
Reflecting on former classes for the rhetorical approach was interesting. While they can be a pain at times, I do see the benefits of general education courses #engl280mu
The readings from this week help to enforce the idea of teaching rhetoric. While it may have been used for disruption, proper use can help to combat this #engl280mu
The reading for this week showed a negative side to the use of rhetoric. If people use these techniques for wrong reasons then rhetoric can become truly dangerous #engl280mu
Another reading that surprises me on the applications of rhetoric. It has come a long way from just being taught on the streets of Ancient Greece #engl280mu
I like how the rhetorical approach for this week made me think about why I’m seeing targeted news and ads on social media. Shocked to see how rhetoric played into it as well #engl280mu
