Do traffic signals make a difference when drivers are conducting their vehicles? In U.K. the roads have less signs and are smaller roads than in the United States. The United States has great amounts of traffic signals and symbols all over the road to make the driver more aware. In the U.K. accidents do occur but not that often has in the United States. In the Unites States every second there is huge amounts of accidents going on over the nation. John Staddon in his magazine article “Distracting Miss Daisy” tries to persuade that traffic control is making traffic more dangerous because we do not pay attention to the road, but to the signals.
The Better Online Ticket Sale Act will prohibit the usage of computer softwares to purchase large amounts of tickets and reselling them at a higher price, claiming the ticket scalping is unfair. If I was a member of congress, I would have supported this act because using softwares to buy and resell tickets drives up the price for the buyers, who had less chance of purchasing it competing with the software at the original price. Aristotle would have also been supportive of this act, who believe retail trade and money making are unnatural ways of attaining wealth. Moreover, John Ruskin would make similar decision, due to his concern with the way we obtain wealth, and inequality in the economy. However, Andrew Carnegie would have thought
Corporates integrate themselves into the daily lives of their consumers by choosing social normalities solely for their selfish interest. Bartyzel in his article mentions how individual lives become normal without realization that those social changes are made by corporations for their own selfish benefits. She writes, “excessive repetition of Princess products, which encompassed everythingfrom pens to Band-Aids, had a significant effect on her daughter. It even informed how adults interacted with her child, offering ‘princess pancakes,’ pink balloons, and even a ‘princess chair’ at the dentist office” (Bartyzel 468). Pink color and princess dresses became normal thing and all girls are thought of having those similar interests. Another impact
Authors who are not from the scientific community appear to be more assertive about their claims as compared to experts of the field. In the following rhetorical analysis, I explore the differences in original research articles tailored toward experts and pop science articles which target a general audience. The pop science article is, “Immune System, Unleashed by Cancer Therapies, Can Attack Organs”, written by Matt Richtel of the New York Times. I compare this with the original research article, “Checkpoint blockade cancer immunotherapy targets tumour-specific mutant antigens” by Gubin et al., published in Nature journal. Both articles talk about the cutting-edge research in the field of cancer immunotherapy. Cancer immunotherapy gets rid of tumors by using the body’s immune system to target cancer cells. Gubin et al.’s article uses genomics and bioinformatics to compare therapeutic synthetic long-peptide vaccines with the working of immunotherapy drugs. Richtel’s article discusses the
LGBT representation is a touchy subject, and Amy is one of the few brave enough to explore the topic. However, she left more than a few holes in her argument, biting off more than she could chew. Her position on the misrepresentation of bisexuals in TV was ineffective at persuading her audience, because of her lack of concrete evidence, misdirection of audiences, and contradictory statements.
Mai Le Professor Matthew Turner English 1302-5122 February 07, 2017 Rhetorical Analysis Proposal I choose the article “Marijuana Use and Alcohol Use Are Dangerous for Society” to write my rhetorical analysis. Carlsson wrote a letter to President Obama after President Obama had an interview with David Remnick of the New Yorker. He stated that “don’t think [marijuana] is more dangerous than alcohol.” Carlsson wanted to persuade President Obama that making a clear and concise commitment. From there, all children have a right to grow up free from drugs and associated harm.
In the online article found on the CNN website titled, “U.S gun violence: The story in charts and graphs” the article provides the readers with multiple graphs from bar graphs to pie charts. The graph I will be looking at critically is titled “Firearm background checks by months since 2012.” It’s important to note that this article was written in December of 2015. For this reason, the graph stops on December 2015. Before providing the graph to its readers the author states that the year of 2015 was “was a record year for background checks on guns. Some have pointed out the requests for background checks have gone up after mass shootings, the idea being that shootings cause people to worry about their safety and buy a gun to protect themselves.”
A rhetorical aim that illustrates that issues on gun control would be to analyze and interpret. Suggested from the two articles; “Why the U.S. is No. 1 – in mass shootings”, and Not just guns: New study looks at why the U.S. is No. 1 in mass shootings, most mass shootings are a result of the deteriorating American Dream. The rhetorical aim, analyze and interpret”, offer readers a different approach on a specific subject matter. For instance, prior to reading the two texts on America’s advancing gun control issues, it was believed that mental illness would be the root cause for mass shootings. However, these two articles have offered different insight on why America is the leading country of mass shootings. Fame, can persuade Americans into
Margaret Wente essay, celebrate boys' boyness develops the theme that discrimination towards young boys in public schools is having negative outcomes on the productivity of boys in schools; ultimately causes negative effects toward their future.
In chapter seven, it talks about emotions which are internal sensations that are shaped by physiology, perceptions, language, and social experiences. It is said that we feel emotions when external stimuli cause a physiological change in our bodies. For example, before and while giving my identity presentation, I felt anxious and nervous. I knew this because I was sweating, light-headed, and my stomach was turning. Another example for me would be whenever I get extremely mad because it feels like my whole body is on fire.
1. What is the main idea behind the article? In other words, provide a summary of the article that emphasizes key points brought about by Likianoff and Haidt.
After some digging online I found this youtube video which is a speech made by the first Hindu woman elected to congress back in 2013. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard speaks about being the first Hindu American Member Of Congress. I believe this video is important because it displays the growing consensus of Americans for gender, race, and religious equality. Her speech also touches base on the points of discrimination, persecution, and misconceptions the Hinduism. Her words help to shed light on these issues and her ambition and vision are an empowering to her people. She sees it as the responsibility and role of each person to get involved and stop these injustices. I completely agree with her because from my research on finding an article
From elementary school to high school, I was taught that my writing had to be structured and follow strict criteria. After I arrived in Mr. Mukherjee’s ENG 102 class, I was given the opportunity to express my creative freedom through words and graphical pictures. It can often be difficult and challenging to improve upon my own writing abilities unless motived with an idea in mind. When looking back on my time at ASU, I thought about the goals that I wanted to address for myself and the course goals that my instructor had set for the class. These goals include ones that I had accomplished to the best of my ability and ones that I need to address as well as improve.
As part of the upper class in our global community, I cannot even begin to understand what living in extreme poverty and hunger must be like. While people in poor, undeveloped countries work all day at backbreaking jobs for just enough money to feed their families, I attend school to enhance my education so I can continue to enjoy the privileges of my wealth. My family is actually considered to be in the lower-middle class in the United States, but we still have two cars, a three-bedroom townhome, and disposable income we use for recreation and various luxuries. Compared to those who live in extreme poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, I live like a king. It would be nothing for me to donate 100 dollars to a charity foundation such as Oxfam that feeds the hungry to save some lives, but should I?
