I find myself using rhetoric all day every day. It is a part of life. Whether or not you want to do something that someone else doesn't necessarily want to do or your just trying to prove a point rhetoric plays into every aspect of life. I have thought about this discussion numerous times throughout the week and had many different examples I was going to discuss, but tonight I had a conversation with my dad that I want to use. I have a lot of school stuff going on, I want to go to medical school and classes are to say the least rigorous. This weekend is the first weekend of duck hunting season and it has been a family tradition to all go hunting this weekend. Well I cannot find the time to do that this year. My dad being a physician himself was explaining to me the dedication and hard work that it takes. Well I think that I have been doing that recently. He began with the facts. If you want to go to medical school you have to have at least an A or a B in organic chemistry. No matter how hard it is and unfair the grading is what matters is the final product of your grade. Those are the facts. So both ethos and logos were a part of our conversation. My dad being a doctor and going through the schooling has credibility in knowing what it takes. He understands the hard work and dedication that go hand in hand with medical school. That makes him credible. We also discussed the facts, the amount of time for me to get everything done leaves no time for duck hunting this weekend or the next and maybe even the next. In order to do well it takes a lot of time and that's all there is to it. So in that way we both used rhetoric in our dinner conversation, and we both met on common ground which is the purpose of rhetoric.

This is an issue of people making comments and forming opinions on something that they have no idea about. This is something that for some reason really annoys me, and I find this video the perfect example.
