Persuasive Techniques In Fighting For Air

He also briefly brought up the horror of the over polluted Lake Erie. “The lake is dying and we still haven't done anything. Think about what the loss of a lake morally means.” His bold sentences really helped the citizens who attended understand the passion he has for this moral issue.

After reading this excerpt, “Did My Car Join Al Qaeda” by Woody Hochswender, I believe that while some of his points were not a proficient as others, he was persuasive. The majority of his essay appealed to the logos, targeting the intellect of the reader and using reason to defend his thesis. In response to “the Virtuous Ones” (154) for example, they claim that “America’s fuel consumption is responsible for enmity towards us in the Middle East” (154). Hochswender appeals to the logos through reasoning. For many people, specifically those in geographically demanding locations, demanding SUVs are not simply a shallow display of social status and wealth.

The StoryCorps’ 476th podcast episode titled “Mrs. Yetta Bronstein for President”, is about pranking the media and causing a bit on mayhem in an otherwise often very serious business. Jeanne and Alan Abel are the prankster masterminds behind the 1964 and 1968 presidential campaign of Yetta Bronstein, the fictional write-in candidate for “The Best Party”. The ruse was set up to prank and mislead the media with Jeanne voicing the single New York mother who stood for values such as putting guns in every household but decreasing the bullet velocity by 95% and taking Congress of salary to put them on strict commission. The way the interview and story is told helps solidify the impression that Jeanne and Alan made pranking the media and embarrassing

Today I will be looking at several short videos and analyzing how the use of rhetoric persuades the audience. The first video, “Drunk History – Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks” is about a young black girl (Claudette Colvin) in the 1950s, who refuses to give up her seat on the bus to a white woman. Because of this refusal, Claudette is forcibly removed from the bus and immediately arrested. Shortly after the release of Claudette, and fed up with

Pathos is an appeal to the audience’s emotions. Logos is an appeal to the audience’s logic. Each author uses all three kinds of rhetoric to persuade the audience to believe in their views on sustainability. Let’s take a look at Wendell Berry’s ‘“It All Turns on Affection”: 2012 Jefferson Lecture”’. Berry uses rhetoric to stress the importance that humans need to respect the Earth and take steps to learn and take care of it.

In 1962, Rachel Carson, author of the book, “Silent Spring” paints the image of a disgusting world filled with contamination that is not too far away for the citizens of America in 1962. A world filled with waste and chemicals due to the lack of knowledge that humankind has about the environment would hurt the air, Earth, rivers, and seas, causing both the environment and the human race to be in danger. Carson idealizes change in the environment through use of an abundance of rhetorical devices. Carson utilizes devices such as, imagery, logos, pathos through childhood, compare contrast organization, and shifts in persona. By using rhetorical devices, Carson reveals the truth about the contamination and waste in the environment.

Discuss how language and visual elements have been used in the text to convince the reader. Is ignorance truly bliss when the world we know is slowly being pushed into extinction? This thought-provoking comic titled “Earplugs” by Joel Pett helps remind readers of the blatant truth of pollution and climate change that most individuals tend to overlook today unless challenged to an extreme. While it seems to be targeted to an inclusive audience, Pett specifically hints at large western corporations by designing his protagonist as a “white man” working in “Man Inc.” With only eight panels, this short comic reiterates the global issue of environmental degradation and urges the audience to take action through the use of language, color, and various

• Wave refractions cause waves to crash persistently away at the base of headlands and can result in wave-cut cliffs after extensive undercutting (Trujillo and Thurman, 2017). If the wave-cut cliff has yet to crumble due to gravity, it can result in sea caves or sea arches (Coastlines). For example, there is a sea cave in Cabo San Lucas and a sea arch in Western Australia (Coastlines). • Marine pollution is created by humans who have introduced anything that is harmful to the marine environment, the living organisms of the ocean, and the organisms that use anything from the ocean resources (Trujillo and Thurman, 2017). Harmful substances that pollute the ocean are detergent, antifreeze, pesticides, plastics, discarded fishing nets, and much

“I will never cut a player who comes out to play for me, but when you put that uniform on, that Titan uniform, you better come to work.” These are the words of Coach Boone, who is known as the main character throughout the movie: Remember the Titans. In the movie, there are two schools in Virginia that are trying to form a high school, and the head coach of the football team is an African American man. Tensions arise when players of different races are joined together on the same football team, but after Coach Boone delivers his motivational speech about coming together as a team and striving to be the best, the team will become closer than ever. He lectures his team on what football really means and how they should aim for perfection.

Along with food, water, and shelter, the air we breathe is essential to life. If we do not have clean air to breathe, we will become ill and even die. If we do not prioritize the air we breathe, the pollution tragedies such as what happened in Delhi last November 2016 and the Southern Plains during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s will strike again. Humans’ indifference, attempts to improve their life, or both. Sometimes when people try to improve human life, they end up harming it; in finding solutions to these man-made problems, we must consider short and long term solutions.

The article identifies ten trends which are important to understand in order to appreciate the changes that our nation is going through. Taken directly from the article, the ten sections are as follows: the context of urban change, the uneven growth of metropolitan areas, increased income inequality among metropolitan areas, the effects of immigration on cities, the decentralization of metropolitan areas, interregional migration/urban flight, income and social polarization within cities, changing conditions of inner-city neighborhoods, changes in affordability and house ownership, and fiscal issues facing large cities. This paper will briefly describe the content of each section,

I believe that the occupants of a city are the sole determinants of a city’s future. For instance, regular maintenance of proper hygiene and drinking clean water is an individuals’ initiative. Such behavior helps eradicate incidences of pollution and disease in the cities. Besides, measures such as strategic socioeconomic planning help alleviate most of the urban problems experienced in urban centers. Indeed, the book is a perfect reflection of the situation of urban centers in the contemporary world.

The methods that were used throughout the article varied. One method both the authors used was the Data from in-depth interviews. As well as semi structured interview were

There are many problems that threatens society and one problem in particular, air pollution is a problem that threatens everyone. Air pollution is the contamination of air with pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. It began to be a problem when humans discovered the uses of fire and then the amount of air pollution exponentially grew after the industrial revolution, and is still a problem even today. The largest causes of air pollution are from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and gas emissions from manufacturing plants. There are ways that ordinary people can help contribute to prevent air pollution and or else face the dangerous consequences of polluted air.

section is very wide and does not narrow drastically due to these statistics. The percentage of people living in cities and urbanized areas increased by 9 percent in 2010 because of factory jobs and a wide variety of service jobs located in the city. Projections show that this will increase in the coming years. More middle aged men coming to the city and taking those jobs make the population pyramid’s middle section more prominent then lower stages.
