...Schuller If you believe in sex after the relationship or marriage; you are not allowed to judge. Perhaps most of the problems that arise are from judging people who have different values than yours. So what if someone believes in meaningless sex? If both consenting adults are okay with it, then it is their life and we should not be passing any value judgements. Judgements also include thinking that just because a girl is incredibly hot, she will be rude or over confident. That is definitely not the case! Give it a shot, even with the hot girls. You’ll be surprised as to how many of them are the nicest people out there. Since sex is such an important part of a physical or emotional relation, I believed I should include physical relationships in this chapter. Of course, most rules will apply if you get physical before asking her to be your girlfriend. So boys, to the part which gets you most excited: let us talk about sex. I am not going to go into too much detail because sex is something that individuals figure out on their own but yes I will tell you the basics dos and don'ts. The most important being known her feelings on this subject, if she is even a little hesitant, do not go near physical...

...Authors of both speeches, Gay marriage in America and Georgia tech freshman convocation speech, are persuasive in their own way. The first one is about gay marriages. The speaker talks with confidence as he is homosexual and has experience of bad treatment from other people. Thus, he is more capable to attract the audience attention. Not that emotionally, he describes awfulness of treatment to homosexuals describing the situation when two partners of the same sex have no opportunity to be with each other to the last minutes of live. His speech was well organized and logical from the very beginning to the end. The second speech is mostly based on emotions. Thus, Shelby, as a college student (ethos), tells very emotionally about the major things...

...Rhetorical Analysis of “The Morality of Birth Control” In the article “The Morality of Birth Control”, Margaret Sanger argued that birth control is a moral solution to unwanted pregnancies and everyone should be informed about it (559). She originally published these claims as a well-known speech. She had hoped to motivate people with positions of power to join her movement promoting birth control. This article was one of the first steps Sanger took to change society’s view about birth control. Although “The Morality of Birth Control” contains a lot of Margaret Sanger’s personal opinions, I agree with her claim and feel as though she made a persuasive argument. At the time that this speech was given, there was a lot of controversy over...

...On November 19, 1863, four and a half months after the Confederacy lost to the Union at the Battle of Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. The speech was initially intended to honor fallen soldiers but became one of the most important, influential and famous speeches because of his patriotic emphasis. I choose to analyze this text as I feel Lincoln captured the ideals of the Declaration of Independence as well as the essence of America life. In my opinion, it is advice we need to consider in our present day. Lincoln hoped to provide a new perspective on the war as well as a reason to continue fighting for the cause. In addition, he was able to redirect a war concerned only with states’ rights to the broader humanitarian...

...Obama’s Remarks on Economic Mobility On December 4th, 2013 Barack Obama spoke on the subject of income inequality and upward mobility. This speech was delivered to, and hosted by, the Center for American Progress (CAP). The president uses striking language to appeal to the emotion and logic of the audience. Obama executes his appeals in a variety of ways with the express purpose of painting the issue of growing inequality and decreased upward mobility as the “defining challenge of our time.” President Obama describes these issues as what drives everything he does as POTUS. Obama’s speech was quite intellectual and technical, peppered in detail with the numbers and statistics of current social and economic inequalities, appealing to logos. While he builds his argument based on these substantial facts, the overall feeling of his language is that of compassion. This compassion seems to drive his purpose and thus emotionally connecting to his audience. Further, Obama appeals to ethos during his speech as he outlines how current market-caused inequalities are threatening everything that makes America great. Obama masterfully balances his passionate language with solid facts and straight-forward logic in this effectively persuasive speech. Before expanding upon the specifics of the rhetorical methods utilized by the president in this speech, I think it is important to highlight that the audience (CAP) is a public policy research and advocacy group that labels themselves as bold progressives...

...and “To His Coy Mistress,” what do Herrick and Marvell say about time and its effects on youth and beauty? Herrick’s poem is a warning to young, beautiful, unmarried women to make the most of their time and marry young. He does not address it to any particular woman, other than young virgins. He uses to metaphor to compare the women's youthful beauty to flowers that will begin to die as they age. Meanwhile, Marvell's poem is a bit more personal. It's actually a seduction poem and the narrator is speaking directly to his coy (shy) mistress. He is basically telling her that her coyness (avoidance of having sex) would be fine if time were not running out for them. He compares time to death. In doing your comparison and contrast, some of the things you might look at are the arguments that the two poems make in favor of sexual activity, and the language they use (including metaphors and other figures of speech) to discuss such topics as sex, love, youth, old age, and death. 2. A famous image of time appears in couplet form in Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress,” in lines 21–22. To what does he compare time? What does this image make you see? He suggests that time (death) is inescapable and that time (death) is something that both haunts and hunts us. 3. What does the speaker in Herrick’s “To the Virgins” say about marriage? How do you think the speaker in Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress” feels about marriage? Speaker in Herrick's "To the Virgins" maintains...

...Chelsea McMillen’s Persuasive Speech Outline General Purpose: To persuade my audience Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience into being in favor of distributing contraceptives (condoms, birth control pills, spermicides, etc.) in high schools. Thesis statement: In order to explain why contraceptives are becoming such a necessity in schools today, I will share how teen parenthood is being glorified, reasons for such an increase in teenage pregnancies, and how effective distributing contraceptives would be. INTRODUCTION I. Attention getter: (show slide of pregnant girls) How many of you have ever seen television shows like “16 and Pregnant”, “Teen Mom”, or “The Secret Life of an American Teenager”? II. Credibility statement: I am not a teen parent, but I have several friends who are and went to school with several teenage parents. Once I chose this topic, I did a lot of research online about the rising problem of teen pregnancy and the unfortunate consequences of contraceptives not being available to teenagers. III. Relating to the Audience: While most of you are probably not teenage parents, I bet many of you know either a couple girls who got pregnant at a young age or a few guys who got girls pregnant at a young age. Teenage pregnancy is something that affects all of us in some way, either in our homes and neighborhoods or on our televisions and computer screens. IV. Thesis statement: In order to explain why contraceptives are becoming such a necessity in schools...

...pervasiveness, stereotypical portrayals, manipulative and persuasive nature, preoccupation with materialism and consumption, frequent use of sex appeals and lack of information” (Yeshin 18). Critically discuss this claim, looking both at the flaws in Pollay’s argument AND the ways in which aspects of his argument might be considered valid. Hypothesis : Advertising itself is very indistinguishable to the idea of complexation as it has got multi-purposes but connects as one. By having a consumer society it would unquestionable mean that advertising will posses negative aspects that cause manipulative and persuasive, therefore a false consciousness society is established, this is quite visible throughout history of Advertisement. However Advertisement can also influence positive attributes, depending on how an advertisement is understood. Essay: Advertising is often referred as a “mediated form of communication” (Richard and Cullen) usually from a recognisable source that manipulates as it gains control over the viewer to take a particular action in order to be satisfied whether it is materialistic or informational. In the article “Distorted Mirror” by W.Pollay, he suggests that advertising is nothing but pervasiveness and leads to consequences in our society. As he states “Perhaps the least important aspect of advertising’s significance in society is its role in influencing specific consumer choices about purchasing products”. Despite Advertisement has always been...
