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.
  •  
    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.

Lady Gaga- Bad romance - 2 views

shared by meredikf on 28 Sep 14 - Cached
  •  
    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).

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!

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.

Airlines and Their Baggage Fees - 1 views

  •  
    This article is about airlines telling travelers to get used to fees because they are now a way of life and aren't going anywhere
  •  
    Not that I like paying the extra 50 bucks but I know that they have a point and I too am getting used to forking up the extra cash if I travel.

I perceived this article as rhetorical because it's the convincing that feminism is actually an okay thing that many people don't seem to be able to grasp. It was obviously planned, finding all the...

Why Quit Smoking - American Lung Association - 0 views

shared by mittelbm on 29 Sep 14 - No Cached
  •  
    I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

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.
