Both King and Thoreau effectively utilize all three of these in their essays. King, however, uses more pathos in his argument. By asking many rhetorical questions he attempts to sympathize with his audience, making them feel that their ideas are valid and important, even though he is just preparing to refute them. For example, on page 2, King says, “You may well ask, 'Why direct action, why sit-ins, marches, and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?'
In a section of Gerald’s essay he advocates that educated conversation be shared with uneducated audiences as a basis for understanding any scholarly topic as well as a basis for a strong argument. Yet many people today
In his interview with George Plimpton, Capote says (referring to the view of why Perry committed the murders) “I could have added a lot of other opinions. But that would have confused the issue, and indeed the book. I had to make up my mind and move toward that one view, always.” This statement can be enlarged in scope to resemble Capote’s editorial discretion througout the entirety of In Cold Blood: though his work is full of factual evidence, Capote admittedly edits the book with a certain purpose in mind, and his editing choices subconsciously affect the reader, possibly even moreso than a typical novel, since the reader is caught off guard while believing the book to be a “factual account.” For example, Capote portrays Perry in a very sensitive way, urging the reader to identify and sympathize with him even though some characters in the book, such as Perry’s sister, despise him. If Capote had focused on his sister’s point of view more than others, the reader would take from the story a negative view rather than a postive one; Capote’s real-life relationship with Perry, however, muddled his sense of objectivity and, in a strange way, cast Perry as a sort of fallen hero
It actually taught me something, the importance of words. It taught me that everything you say affects other people, because some things are so easy to believe and that they affect what some people think. Although many advocates persuade their listeners by using statistics, they sometimes use facts that are not entirely true. This is a fact, and it is a method used to brain wash people and to catch their attention. Although it is affective, it
Knowing the theories can help investigators along with society tell or explain why someone like Edward Theodore Gein and so many others commit heinous crimes. I believe that everyone not just criminal justice majors & law enforcement should take the time out to know some of the different criminological theories so that they can know why certain people in the media along with people in their community’s commit the crimes that they
Guessing and controversy, allows to test the amount of information one knows about the topic, creating interest on the topic and opening possibilities for research. Controversy, finding an opposite point of view and try to argue it. This is possibly my favorite of these strategies, because by looking at other points of view pushes me to analyze that point of view and search for further information to prove my point right. Contradiction happens when an established points of view is faced to opposing facts and the need for more research takes place. I believe this strategies could be effective, because they allow a person to broaden their knowledge base all though
Being too open during the oral board interview is a killer, too. You should be candid, but don't spill your guts with all your personal problems. And think before you speak – I once heard a story of a candidate who asked the panel if they drug-test, and if so can they provide advance notice. Pay attention to your tone of voice. Just like your physical motions, your tone of voice says a lot about you.
“Is talk Cheap” “Don’t believe everything you hear of read”, a common quote to help us pick truth out of information. Information is available to us in many forms, like television, internet, radio, newspapers, books and so on. But before accepting certain types of information we are constantly bombarded with, it comes down to the individuals’ beliefs and perception of processing that information. Humans like to be right, the feeling of being right, so anything that is in likeness to their beliefs distort factual thinking. Some humans don’t like to think thoroughly and the brain snaps to the more suggestive decision making process…information more suited to our liking.
The first time offender might get a second chance with a non-conviction program and be scared straight. The benefits of the bargaining system here are obvious. While most prosecutors do consider victims of the crime in bargaining, it is a case by case basis on whether or not the prosecutor will consult the victim before reaching a bargain with the defendant. It is likely that the bargaining system will continue to be practiced within our criminal system for a long time to come. I disagree with plea bargaining for the fact that if they did something once and get a plea bargain many will think of it as they got away with something, also they may think if they do something again they will think they can get another plea bargain deal.
I have researched a few stories behind the stand your ground law and its amazing how so many people have got away with murder. People seem to be taking what they believe to be justice in their own hands. Doing something off your own opinion isn’t always the right thing to do. You may not like people who wear red shirts. Do you think they should die?
