Ehrenreich 's preparation guided her consideration toward living conditions more than somebody who may have a business degree. A man with a business degree would grumble more about the organizations ' notoriety or where their cash goes towards as opposed to Ehrenreich, who concentrates more on the lives of her colleagues and the conditions she lives up to expectations in, as when she alludes to Jerry 's as a "chunky individual 's damnation" and how she becomes a close acquaintance with George, a foreigner who needs a companion.

Seaver addresses the idea that the Coca-Cola Company came up with the ideal slogan of “the real thing” first. Seaver believes and also states in his letter to Herbert that if both companies use the slogan, then there will be confusion in the products, that will cause the customers to be misleading.

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.

The American Creed expresses many ideals and principles that are clearly cherished by a majority of fellow Americans.

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.

With this point, he is able to raise awareness of
