Richards creates a strong ethical appeal to her audience by stating her Democratic political background, views, and opinions. However, her ethical appeal is partially biased considering that she is speaking to a democratic audience, therefore she has to cater to the democratic values, which include equality and fairness. She strongly enforces her pathetic appeal by addressing the audience’s love for their families and children, hope for a better economy and future, and feelings of forgottenness by the government. Richards carefully incorporates two brief anecdotes into her speech to trigger emotional responses in her audience. In her second anecdote, Richards tells the audience that she hopes that her “nearly perfect” granddaughter Lily “…goes on to raise her kids with the promise that echoes in homes all across America: that we can do better, and that’s what this election is all about.” Richards’ strong pathetic appeal targets the audience’s hope for a better government in the future, which is why she
The Body in US Culture WS 2012/13 The Body in US Culture WS 2012/13 Essay To Susan Sontag’s „Illness as Metaphor” “Illness as Metaphor” is a nonfiction work written by Susan Sontag and was first published in 1978. Sontag argues against the use of illness as metaphor. She states her main point on the first page of this long essay: "The most truthful way of regarding illness--and the healthiest way of being ill--is one most purified of, most resistant to, metaphoric thinking." (1) Throughout her essay Susan Sontag argues that the myths and metaphors surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, are “preposterous” (74) and condemning to patients suffering from these types of illnesses. Sontag establishes her main point within the preface of the essay: “My point is that illness is not a metaphor, and that the most truthful way of regarding illness- and the healthiest way of being ill-is one most purified of, most resistant to metaphoric thinking” (3).
When the government or the president addressed this issue they were practicing the art of rhetorical discourse by addressing and reacting to the given situation. Without the problem of health care reform, it is just pointless conversation occurring or what we call “small talk,” at the very least. Bitzer explains that there are three parts that make up a rhetorical situation in order for discourse to occur; exigence, audience, and constraints. The exigence is an imperfection marked by urgency; it is a defect or an obstacle. If I use the speech former President Bush gave after the 9/11 attacks as an example, he delivered those speeches due to the fact that there was a situation that required attention, or exigence.
Because I was not gay, I was not at risk. Because I did not inject drugs, I was not at risk.” Once again she uses repetition in order to emphasize her claim. Since AIDS is a dangerous virus, Fisher also includes scare tactics when she says, “The reality of AIDS is brutally clear” and, “This is not a distant threat. It is a present danger.” One example of a bias was evident though when she says, “Adolescents don't give each other cancer or heart disease because they believe they are in love, but HIV is
This means that nothing harmful to Sandy should be done.Fourthly, Mary needs to think about Sandy’s and her mother’s cultural and religious background. Suspected pregnancy, for example, may be forbidden by their religion. Fifthly, One of Mary’s obligations is to promote and maintain mutual trust in the practitioner-client relationship. Revealing Sandy’s secrets to Mrs. Wilson will jeopardize this relationship, which can exerts a detrimental influence on the procedure of treatment. Lastly, Mrs. Wilson’s primary concern probably is about her daughter’s well-being, as can be seen that she is really worried about her
The halftime super bowl commercial truly does support the idea of the company’s persistence. Marchionne took on the once thought impossible task with the help of the Bush and Obama administration. Still, Several politicians, such as Karl Rove, who argues that the ad was a strategically placed commercial used to praise and support Obama during the 2012 reelection, feeling the need to “repay their political patrons,” (Stewart). Although these ideas are brought about, Marchionne continues to stand on his current position over the ad. “We are as apolitical as you can make us…” states Marchionne; he continues to say the ad was a tribute to Chrysler employees, and how the ad was used “because it says something…about the resilience of America,” (Bury).
In this essay I analyze the rhetorical situation of “A Whisper of AIDS” article and her use of pathos, logos and ethos appeal. Almost nineteen years ago, a HIV positive married mother named Mary Fisher steeped out on faith and gave a speech on the effects of AIDS on her and her family at the 1992 Republican National Convention. Her main goal was to not inform the audience at the convention but the world of the silence surrounding the discussion of AIDS. She emphasizes the problems AIDS was causing and the future problems it will cause if we do not educate ourselves about this disease. Mary Fisher uses her own personal HIV diagnosis as a powerful tool to draw in her audience and get her point across.

Reviewing this article did not change my mind on abortion. Abortion is still an abortion even if it is done quietly by a pill. Overall, I still choose pro-life over pro-choice after reading these articles. I believe a fetus should have the same rights as anyone else and should have the chance to experience life itself. These articles gave me a better understanding on how abortion is today and how it will be in the future.
Change, though a part of our daily routine in nursing was difficult. My history with this organization was that often nurses found that practices that were adequate during their own experience as a patient and therefore should not be changed or improved on. More well seasoned nurses had told me during my initial fact finding phase that they prefer specializing in either mothers or newborns, but not both. All my nurses had certification in neonatal resuscitation and basic life support which was the basic structure of being competency in couplet care. After assuring the support of my clinical coordinator and my senior leader, I spoke at a staff meeting about the benefits of couplet care.
