    Although Trump has the chance do you think he really will focus on this issue at all? It seems to me like the president only focuses on a couple large country issues at a time. It would be really important if he supported this because animal cruelty is a serious issue that keeps getting worse.

    I think Donald Trump should most definitely make animal cruelty a federal crime because it it basically the same as human cruelty. Animals are living, breathing, sentient beings just like us. Without a law in place whose going to protect these animals?

Rhetoric Discussion In Class

The question, "What is Rhetoric?", has been asked many times in the classroom. This topic has been controversial because of the many definitions that come with the word "rhetoric". People often say that this is based on the art of persuasion and they are correct, but there is so much more that contributes to a good definition. When sitting in the middle of the discussion, I kept questioning whether my statement was correct. There are so many ideas that could be thought of and rhetoric can even be a manipulative power that can be used towards convincing individuals their arguments are wrong. Using this in society is how humans function in daily life. With these thoughts in my mind, I began to wonder what life would be like without rhetoric.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Ethos, pathos, and logos are 3 main persuasive tools discussed in class and by Heinrich in chapter 4 in "Thank You For Arguing". These are described as Aristotle's Big Three, ethos or argument by character employs your credibility and knowledge. Logos is an argument by logic or evidence and reasoning to use what your thinking, while pathos appeals towards emotion, beliefs, or conviction.  Heinrich applies these persuasive tools to try and convince his son to not wear shorts during winter. However, his son disagrees with him, and Heinrich begins using ethos to persuade his son by using a "stern father act" but fails miserably. Then he applies logos into the mix by pulling up his pant legs and acting silly in front of his son and still ends up losing. Finally, Heinrich uses pathos and makes a deal with his son, they both come out happy. These three tools are embedded in our day to day lives and are used to appeal towards our audience's emotion and logic whil...

Why it is important to preserve the environment

The various impacts humans have on the environment are common knowledge at this point, but what a lot of people don't know is the permanence of their actions. Recovering from future effects, and many of the impacts we've already seen, will be far more difficult than many people realize. For example, the Amazon Rainforest. The wildfires and deforestation in the amazon are broadcasted on all sorts of media platforms. But, recovering from this is far from simply planting a few more trees. There are over forty-thousand different plant species in the amazon, and over two-thousand different species of animals. According to the site New Scientist; it will take roughly sixty-five years for certain aspects to recover, and it will take upwards of four-thousand years for the landscape to revert back to it's native state. This is partially because the Amazon Rainforest is in a tropical wet climate. They see roughly one-hundred and twenty inches of rainfall annually. The massive amounts...
