Jeff Haden’s “DO WHAT YOU LOVE? #@&** THAT!” is a counter argument to Steve Jobs speech to Stanford graduates expressing them to follow their hearts. Haden immediately explains how that is the worst advice you can give a young individual. He then formats his article with bold headlines, so the reader can easily identify his key points. All his key points include various forms of “passion” and how an individual might not always get paid for theirs. Haden suggests career passions are hard to come by and how one must invest a considerable amount of time and dedication to achieve. He talks about the importance of having a strong work ethic and how mastering a certain skill over time will develop a passion. Thanks to Aristotle and his three appeals of logos, ethos, and pathos we can further evaluate Haden’s article. He effectively used logos and ethos to his …show more content…
He says you should find something that interests you, but something you can expand on. A solid platform to start your journey, while also being rational and realistic to your goals and future. Job emphasized the importance of finding what you love regardless of the consequences. Other than Haden’s opening title, he was respectful and didn’t disrespect Steve Jobs. I expected worse and believed his paper would be about targeting Jobs as an individual. But the author focused primarily on the argument. Haden was respectful to his opponent, but failed to recognize his opponents’ views. Haden is taking a rare stand and going against the status quo. He knows he’s going against the majority and is trying to persuade that his argument is valid and helpful in the long run. He aims to convince us that we all shouldn’t fall for fairy tales or false prophecies. Haden assumes the audience believes in the underdog who can overcome anything, Haden has this powerful mentality and will never put himself in a position where he feels inferior or prone to overcome hard
I do agree with Joe Turnbull’s essay, and I also understand why Shepard Fairey keep continuing his artwork even though it might have raise so many ethical questions. Even though, the artists reserve the right to be able to express themselves within his/her artworks, the artwork should be within the range of appropriation. Fairey’s stickers should’ve been more in the private or not as common as door to door public for those people who actually support the theme of his work. Fairey also an artist that do not need to make more name but people still want more, according to Turnbull’s essay, Fairey was “reported net worth of $15 million” (Turnbull pg9/15).

He believes people should pursue a career they are Passionate about. Working a job, you hate for the rest of your natural life can be a detriment on the person and the employer. There are some who may oppose this kind of position and say earning more is the prize because in the end the money will make you happier. The question that might refute this argument is, then why do people still complain about their jobs? If everyone loved money so much they would only have positive things to say about their work lives.

What if you knew that in today’s society, saying this would increase disappointment; thus faltering a child’s self-esteem later on in life.

By choosing to share three different stories about connecting the dots, love and loss, and death, it made him speak in a conversational style, making the audience more comfortable. When an audience is engaged, it is much easier to connect with the speaker. Jobs’ also decided to use humor within his words and phrases to engage the audience. He states “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces...and since Windows just copied the Mac, it’s likely that no personal computer would have them.”(Jobs)
On the highly esteemed network of HBO, comedian, John Oliver took to his Emmy-nominated show, Last Week Tonight; to discuss the controversial topic of standardized testing. Much like other subjects he discusses on shit late-night television show, the well-established comedian uses his skill of humor as an advantage in his ridiculing of standardized testing and America’s education system. He is able to expose the testing industry by adopting a very blunt and humorous tone in order to convey to his audience why theses exam producers need to find solutions to their controversy. His welcoming and enthusiastic approach helps him gain interest and build a relationship with his viewers. John Oliver’s abundant use of satire, visuals, and modern day references not only attribute to his credibility, but also help develop his argument that the United States’ testing statistics are below average, therefore the true test for the nation’s education system is “convincing everyone it works, or accepting it doesn’t work, and fixing it” (17:10-17:21).
