Inspired By Climate Change

The presentation done on climate change has effected me personally today. I started to think more about saving energy and recycling more. I started today off by unplugging cords when I'm not using them, using fewer light fixtures, and speaking to my roommate about recycling more.

    The presentation on climate change also got me thinking. I think its really nice that you are taking that step to try and conserve energy. There are a lot of people who won't even recycle simply because they don't know what to recycle.

    Climate change is a real issue today and it will be up to our generation to fix it The temperature has been consistently been rising over the years and there is no way that is happening randomly. There are large amounts of evidence that shows the greenhouse effect is real. Something needs to change soon to fix what we have done to the planet.

Ch. 6 "Make them Listen" and Ch.7 "Use your Craft"

        Some of the key things Jay Heinrichs brings to our attention the 4 ways to pump up your rhetorical virtue in chapter 6. The 4 ways include: brag, get a witness to brag for you, reveal a tactical law and switch sides when the powers that be do. Also in Chapter 7 "Use your Craft" Jay Heinrichs talks about the 3 ways to get the audience to trust your decision. Such as show off your experience, bend the rules and seem to take middle course. I personally like this book because it teaches and makes me think about rhetoric. Before this class I never heard of rhetoric nor even knew it existed, I like that Jay gives us little key things such as what is above and how in chapter 1 he included his personal life.

Thank You for Arguing Chapter 4

In chapter 4 in Thank You for Arguing, Heinrichs talks about the 3 different tools of persuasion; argument by character, logic, and emotion. He uses the example of his son wanting to wear shorts to school in the winter. He first tried to persaude him by using a stern fatherly act by saying "you have to because I told you so" and that tool did not work. Furthermore, he uses logic by telling his son that he will get chapped if he wears short out in the winter and that tool did not work. So he finally tried emotion by aking a deal with his son. This step finally got the situation settled. Heinrichs also lays out Artistole 's Big Three which are ethos, pathos, and logos. You can use these three tools of persuasion to get your way in a conversation.
