The World's First Genetically Modified Babies Will Graduate High School This Year - 2 views

    I stumbled upon this article on Yahoo and clicked on it because the title intrigued me. I believe this article is rhetorical because it is planned. The word choice is thought out and the topic is explained to those who are previously uninformed. It is responsive and evident by the slew of comments further down the page. Also, the article address the contingent issue of whether genetically alter babies is ethical. This piece shapes knowledge because I learned facts I didn't know about, as well as I'm sure other people learned.

    Weird, definitely a contingent issue though. If people found out you were a genetically modified person, you would probably be labeled a freak.

    This was interesting to read about. Definitely a rhetorical article!

Lady Gaga- Bad romance - 2 views

    We spent some time on lady gaga and this song is supposedly a statement against human trafficking. Definitely rhetoric in the way that it is planned and in how it is answering the subject of human trafficking.

    This is a creative approach in portraying rhetoric! It's definitely planned out and is responsive! It's also adapted towards an audience through persuasive approaches (i.e. visual appeals).

    I will definitely be using these websites for my project! I've heard of flickr, but not the other four. Thanks!

Information Literacy definition

    The definition of an information literate person extends beyond school and application to academic problems--such as writing a research paper--and reaches right into the workplace. Information literacy is also important to effective and enlightened citizenry, and has implications that can impact the lives of many people around the globe.

This video takes a look at what is really part of popular culture. It uses rhetoric because it is definitely planned, the topics are debatable, and is geared toward an audience.

Budweiser Super Bowl ad - 1 views

    This ad's kairos is definitely times right, during the super bowl when everyone is drinking beer. Also, it has a lot of pathos in the way it shows a cute little puppy with his big strong horse friend.
  • trzebijm on 03 Oct 14
     
    That is really cute. And you are totally right about the ad's kairos and the amount of pathos it has. Very neat form of rhetoric.

Protesters march, call for an end to 'police brutality' in Jersey City - 1 views

    Calls for an end to police brutality echoed down Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Jersey City Saturday afternoon. "Stop police brutality!" and "No justice! No peace!" were some of the chants repeated by about two dozen protesters, both young and old, as they marched more than a mile from McAdoo Avenue to Martin Luther King Plaza around 1 p.m. This is definitely in response to the police brutality, which helps identify it as a rhetoric piece.

    The Washington Redskin team name and whether it should be changed has been a contingent issue for many years. Some Native Americans argue it is offensive and does not honor their people.
  • loganstrom on 05 Oct 14
     
    This is definitely a contingent issue and it will be interesting to see if they change their name.

UW Oshkosh - Best Day of My Life - 12 views

It's interesting to compare the two videos, UWEC and UWO. Very different approaches but they both get their point across and try to persuade you to come.

31 Images That Show The True Face Of The World - 0 views

    I came across this article on Facebook and I was really struck by the pictures. This is a great example of visual rhetoric. Each image causes you to think and respond to the culture shown in it. The collection of pictures seeks to persuade the viewers that there is so much more going on in the world than what we know in America. Like it says in the description, our world is not simple or perfect and these pictures show the real struggles in the world. The pictures definitely appeal to pathos, especially each photo with children. Contingent issues like war and gay marriage are shown in the photographs. I love how the pictures can capture an entire story and prompt so much thought.

    This woman who was born with a condition that gives her an athletic advantage over "normal" women (so she is kind of a "freak" in that sense) but her case is resulting in lots of rhetoric that tests our ideas of the boundaries/definitions of gender and sex.
