All semester, we have been learning about how to use rhetoric in order to shape an argument to persuade a specific audience. Robb Willers’ TED talk highlighted that in order to persuade an opposing audience, one must assess the opposing’s moral values. #rhub200
The process of writing my annotated bibliography has been more challenging than I expected because finding sources that directly challenge my argument is pretty scarce. #rhub200
Argument: The War on Drugs initiative has resulted in millions of unfair sentencing of people of color for minor possession. Marijuana is now legal is some states, therefore those imprisoned for possession should be released. #RHUB200
@Josh14310279 I agree that he should have apologized because the NRA is a sole reason why guns are as easily obtainable as they are. Instead of placing blame on others, he should take some responsibility #rhub200
@sydneygniesen I agree that parents who are anti-gun would not agree with LaPierre because his main point is to increase the use of guns in schools #rhub200
LaPierre’s speech might be embraced by those who have children in the school system. No one knows when the next shooting may happen so worried parents may cling to any solution placed in front of them. #rhub200
@sydneygniesen I agree, he did not take any accountability or blame considering that the reason Lanza got his hands on an automatic weapon is because of the NRA’s weak processes. #rhub200
@megansmith812 I agree, although he spoke of caring about the children I think the underlying motive is that he is scared of common citizens losing their gun rights #rhub200
Wayne La Pierre’s speech is not convincing or effective for me because I do not agree with this perspective of the matter. Adding more weapons will not solve any problems in my opinion. Gun control is the only logical solution. This speech would be effective for those who support
The writing process for this essay has been hard only because I have to get back in the groove of writing and motivate myself. I am pleased with my progress though #rhub200
I believe Reagan used the German language in order to identify with the audience. He used words like, “a wrath of barbed wires” as loaded language to appeal to pathos. Reagan attempted to evoke emotion to show that he shares common ground and beliefs with the audience. #rhub200
@katelynpucci5 I agree that her assumption of the how the readers grew up made it a more personal read, but I also believe that it limits her audience which may be a disadvantage #rhub200
@CameronHRWS200 Children may watch these movies or read these comics and subconsciously absorb morals, such as doing the right thing. It may be showcased in dramatized situations, but they understand that doing the right thing is glorified. #rhub200
In Kraska’s article, one claim is that super heroes and comics provide morality for children growing up. The ground of her argument is that seeing heroes do the right thing guides them to do the right thing. The warrant of the argument is that people should do the right thing.
@LlerenasKevin I agree that Goshua’s successfully provided a more intriguing perspective of violent video games to those who may have a preconceived notion, like parents. She made a persuasive argument because she helped the reader see the morality in the games.
