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.
I did not realize how many people died associated with E-cigarette, or vaping products.
ReplyDeleteE-cigarettes have become a huge controversy in the news lately. Many individuals are being seriously harmed and sick due to the chemicals in the flavored nicotine. Many incidents have even lead to deaths. Many people use vaping products and should be aware of the possible effects.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed the controversy about e-cigarettes in the news lately and how it is affecting many young people in our country. I do not agree with Trump pulling back from the restriction of flavor e-cigs because he could save the lives of millions by making it harder to attain.
ReplyDeleteI've seen in some articles that discussed how if vapes were banned that it would just create a more dangerous black market with unsafe vape products.
ReplyDeleteI think your comment is interesting because some people who want to ban abortions are the same people that say this kind of thing. It is hypocritical to ban abortions but then say that if we were to ban guns or vapes people would find an unsafe way to do it anyway.
DeleteI feel like if Trump pulls back on flavors of nicotine, it will only lead to people going down different paths to get the nicotine they want. This will create other companies to create more flavors, in which those companies might use even worse chemicals than the ones that are being used.
ReplyDeleteI feel like vaping is just as bad as cigarettes (although it is) but there needs to be another way of coping without using chemicals that is harmful to humans and is addictive.
