A crash course in collegiate dressing - 0 views

  •  
    This article is interesting because, while it is an article from a newspaper produced right on campus, it is a different type of source than we usually look for while researching our topics. Instead of searching for national newspapers or articles from academic journals, finding smaller publications can be useful in research. This local perspective on subcultures talks about how dressing a certain way can signal what kind of culture you are from. I believe while we are all mid-research on our topics, we know our subcultures have a certain uniform they can be identified with.

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.

Rhetoric in an Ad - 1 views

  •  
    This image is rhetorical because it is obviously planned and adapted to an audience. It reveals human motives to be more environmentally aware of the actions taken with usage of water. It addresses the contingent issue of how citizens treat the environment and how we are wasteful with certain resources. This ad appeals to pathos because it directly shows how it affects fish and other creatures who live in the water we mistreat. Also, it is kairotic because this ad came out around the same time as the BP oil spill. It can be used to support the fact that, many times, we don't treat water respectfully and not only does it affect our lives, it affects the animals' lives as well.

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.

Are Hipsters Really Hipsters? - 1 views

  •  
    I found this article pretty funny and pretty accurate. The term "hipster" relates to being ahead of the trends or bringing back vintage trends. But this article (and especially the pictures/graphics) calls out "hipsters" and mocks the group for conforming to each other and all acting, dressing, talking the same, as well as having the same interests.
