He explained with the point with the idea that sport is about creating extraordinary moments and drug taking would simply be cheating. He explained that drugs have long term effects and can cause excessive damage to the body. Olivier then stated a very good point for the argument against drug taking for sports: that sports will be all about money and not talent. The richest individuals will be better than the ones who cannot afford it. Both debaters used imagery to convey characters demonstrating either sides of the argument.
She then brings up the issue of unnerving newspaper headlines such as “Bloodlust Video Games Put Kids in the Crosshairs” (205). Sternheimer feels not enough emphasis has been given to other issues such as “social rejection and depression” (206). She also brings our attention to information on statistical evidence. Sternheimer believed it to be “controversial” and feels it “exclude[s] a host of other factors” (207). Sternheimer feels it is these other over looked factors that are truly the cause of “young killers” (210).
The 7:30 report have tried to leave the audience feeling uncomfortable as they want the audience feeling the same about the actions of the men taking the drugs. With the use of the timing and placement of shots the 7:30 report can further support the argument made against the titans. As Adan Harvey talks about the struggles the golds coast titans are facing being displayed are videos of titans players avoiding media. This looks bad on the gold coast titans and leaves the audience positioned against the
As he says, “it is a high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave.” The bullying, the teasing, and the harassing for their abilities and their “disgusting taste” must be stopped, as stated in his writing. Using a firm tone toward the issue you can tell he has experienced this, and that connects him deeper with the audience though pathos. Leonid Fridman shows a very negative attitude towards the focus of “Nerds and Geeks.”He supports disagreement through pathos, satire, and a impressive word choice, He over take the mind of the reader with these rhetorical strategies. Through elementary school, middle school, and in high school, everyone needs their nerds and
He uses statistics showing, there are billions of dollars put aside for those who get affected by the side effects of the drugs. Elliott shows how Americans are jealous of athletes and they “secretly want to see stars fail”(para 3). Based on these arguments presented, Elliott does a fabulous job convincing the audience that there are problems with drug usage and how easily they are accessible. The author grabs the audience’s attention by claiming how easily drugs are prescribed by doctors or attained via the black market. Elliott uses ample amounts of examples that shows how America is slowly turning to drugs for every short-come presented.
She uses different numbers and awards to show how devoted the shows fans are and how well the show is actually doing. Peacocke talks about her own struggle with the shows offensive humor but then now she realizes the use of humor in the jokes. The author uses different segments of the show to show how although the jokes are, at first glance, offensive the hidden meaning is simply "pointing out the weaknesses and defects of U.S. society in a mocking and sometimes intolerable way." (263). Antonia Peacocke uses short parts of from different authors to shape her argument, agreeing with some and pointing fun at others.
They are also loving, kind, gentle, sweet, and are not a threat. When retarded is used as a pejorative term, it reinforces in people's minds the association between "retarded" and something to be feared, mocked, and disdained. I think the President's nasty side swipe at the Special Olympics was worse, but yeah, I am pretty sick and tired of grown-ups who ought to know better using 'retarded' as a school yard taunt, and I am sick of people defending it as well.” She is clearly stating that she has a very dislike for the word “Retard”. “Emanuel's ill-advised use of the word "retarded" is not all that different from Obama's using it to describe his bowling, however, I do believe neither intended to demean the mentally handicapped.” Stated by Juan Garcia, From Lakewood, he clearly believing that there was no harm done in using the
His illustrations also make the argument real and the fact that he shared so many different situations of distain speaks to the wide spread nature of the problem. One of the examples Meyer chose to elaborate on was similar to the Steve Rushin’s “spoof” of the news media. Both writers highlight the popularity of news programs that mock and belittle others. Meyers claim Americans continue to watch “loudmouthed pseudo-news shows on cable and keep yelling at the television.” Rushin illustrates his annoyance with a late night anchorman who read a phony report of a drug-seizing event where he sarcastically placed cocaine in an athlete’s nostril. The news reporter smirked.
Not to mention the unhealthy factors. Stated by Michael Scott a well known writer, he said “Some athletes should just ask themselves one question: Do we really want to harm our bodies and tarnish the image of sports in order to be successful?”. Michael is exactly right because a game is just 60 minutes but injury can be a life time. If you live life for the moment then sports aren’t your thing. Because if you don’t prepare and save your body you are hurting your team and teams are what make
This does not sit well with the Savage, as he came from outside the society and was able to experience both pleasure and pain and appreciate one for the other. Confronting the Controller about the prohibition of high art from the society and the encouragement of sensual experiences and drug use, the Savage states that the whole situation seems “quite horrible.” The Controller counters this with “Of course it does. Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery…Happiness is never grand.” This concept of actual happiness alludes to Mill’s idea of the differentiation of pleasure and happiness. While the society
