The Subtle Influences of Hardin’s Article Exposed by Analyzing Singer’s Article Rhetoric has the power to manipulate people into believing that an act they would normally be against is actually not that bad. It has the ability to make people trust that cruel and inhumane actions are not as appalling as they once thought. However, it also persuades people into committing moral acts by providing a sense of guilt. Many writers use this writing tool today to convince people to agree with their stance on an issue. Garrett Hardin and Peter Singer are no exceptions.
Barkin's article is about how people do not act in emergencies because they think someone else will do it, and they don't want to put themselves in danger. Both authors use rhetorical strategies to get their point across and to offer readers an insight into the human psyche on why we are so afraid to speak out in situations of inconvenience or injustice. However, Barkin uses the rhetorical strategies more effectively. Barkin uses the rhetorical strategy pathos to appeal to the reader's emotions. Barkin's article is much more appealing to the audience than Buckley's is because she uses the true story of a young woman's horrific murder to convey her point.
The purpose also is if law enforcement was to take the evidence it would not be used in the court of law unless issue or that person can be set free of all charges. Basically one wrong moved can make us lose a suspect of a horrible crime if we are not careful. Law enforcement just need to be cautious so they are doing their jobs correct, and setting a person free will get them into trouble (cjlf.org, 2011). When we are identifying the exclusionary rule it is a great rule to have so police have to stop and think. Police have to think before they search because it could cost them a lot if they just do what they want.
Non-Violent Protest Conflicts and war often happen because people try to solve disagreements and fight for a change through violent means. The problem of using violent confrontation strategies is that people quickly escalate to the point where their only concerns are victory, vengeance, and self-defense. In these cases, the moral arguments of people who are being unjustly treated become irrelevant. That is because most of the people tend to think of nonviolence as ineffectual, the weapon of the weak while in fact, it is the most effective and proper way in solving a disagreement or achieving protestors’ goal. Non-violent resistance strategies are designed to avoid bloody conflicts by absolutely refusing to be drawn into a violent confrontation.
The techniques that Sassoon has used in the poems are: imagery, simile, metaphor and onomatopoeia. A good poem may lead to sadness, joyful or simply wandering, but it always leads us to think more deeply about life for the following reasons: Firstly, it creates emotion; secondly, it shows us the brutality of war; and finally, hardships faced by soldiers and also by showing about death. Through this it becomes evident that a good poem may lead to sadness, joyful or simply wandering. A good poem may lead to sadness, joyful or simply wandering because it creates emotion. Emotion refers to a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.
Gandhi said, “The people [disregard] those laws they [do] not like and [suffer] the penalties for their breach. It is contrary to our manhood if we obey laws repugnant to our conscience.” (Document B). Gandhi explained the principles of passive resistance and he maked it sound appealing to people by speaking of it simply. This intrigued others that felt the same way to join the movement because it is not difficult to participate in. All that was needed to take part in Gandhi’s Passive resistance movement was the willingness of self-sacrifice.
Security vs. Privacy We know that people want security in their in life but prefer their privacy, so when it comes down to it which is more important? We read how Bruce Schneier wanted the people to have privacy and how he knows that people don’t do anything but with constant surveillance the government will accuse you of something. As on the other hand we have Chris Cillizza who believes that privacy is important but it won’t keep you safe from foreign attacks. Also Cillizza shows that any type of information that the government finds suspicious will put people at risk. Honestly in this type of argument it comes down to the better facts rather than opinions and that’s why Cillizza makes the better argument.
We are encouraged to focus on all the bad things that may happen especially from our news and media telling us how things are not as good as they used to be. Another reason people fear change because it is the unknown. Lack of knowledge creates fear. People become comfortable with the status quo. So, even when something changes for the better, it takes energy to accept it.
Basically having to perceive yourself a certain way to fit in. For example, Linda S. Mindle who wrote Breaking Free From a Negative Self Image, explains “you’ve swallowed the lie that if you just feel better about yourself, everything else will fall into place. But it hasn’t, and your self image remains vulnerable to what people say and what you perceive”. This distorts our self image. Negative self image starts from feedback from others whom then we make our own.
From my childhood, I was told that I should be honest no matter what happens. However, people these days seem to lie a lot in our lives. Sometimes dishonesty really does harm others, but there are some situations when lying is acceptable and it's a better decision. Some people think that it is acceptable to tell a lie because they want to protect weak people’s feelings while others think it is not necessary to tell a lie. In my opinion, thinking before telling a lie is the right thing to do then just saying it.
