Anthony Weiner's & Quor: Article Analysis
CHECKPOINT WEEK FOUR

One public figure that I can say acted unwisely this year would be Anthony Weiner. The US Congressman used a social media site to send sexual photos of himself to a woman that was only twenty one years of age. When he was confronted about it he claimed that it was not him that sent the actual photo, also stating that he believed his account was hacked. After Weiner realized that people were not going to believe his lies and find out the truth he made the decision to change his story. He decided to hold a conference and admitted to the public that he was a liar. He agreed to having several inappropriate relationships with women on social media sites such as facebook and twitter. On one occasion one of the women

    The speech grabs the reader’s attention and interest right at the beginning because of it speaking about the department store, new fashions and things and all those things being free. However, it takes a completely different turn and speaks of a whole other topic. The speaker uses Time Magazine for the statistic and typically in my opinion, Time Magazine would be overall considered a reputable source. Overall the speaker does a great job at delivering a good well rounded speech; after all he is an salesperson at Sears. I am sure that a lot of what the speaker is speaking about (shoplifting) it has come from personal experiences that the speaker has had. There are so many people that have worked in retail that can very well relate to what…

    Authors such as Sandler, Mancillas and Mellor, all have different intended audiences in their writings although they approach a similar topic. Sandler's article in the Time Magazine is an journalistic writing piece that she intends her claims to the parents and to the general public by starting out the article with a conversation between a cashier and a man with a young child. This provides the idea that from the beginning, this articles intended audience is adults, parents and the general public on the topic of only children, that is why it is published in a magazine. Mellor's writing on the other hand is an empirical report, a research paper that is intended to other researches; typically scientist and those who study the topic of psychology.…

    Many people in today’s world would do just about anything to rise to power. Weather it’s doing drugs,or sabotaging and trying to make people think you’re the good guy. Other people use their power for their own selfish gain and in turn they think they can do just about anything they want. People like this are corrupted in their own twisted way and they can corrupt the people around them. Corruption in it’s highest form is dishonest and sometimes people don’t understand why they do what they do in the first place. There are many public figures that we know pretty well, we know that many of them have done things to boost their power and reputations.

    The Onion's Article

    The Onion’s article “Revolutionary New Insoles Combine Five Forms of Pseudoscience”, sound like the script to a typical television commercial. The article talked about shoe insoles that “Establish a correspondence between every point on the human foot, with another part of the body, enabling their soles to heal their entire bodies as they walk.” They also talked about “scientific-sounding “information supporting their new insoles. I have seen commercials for shoe insoles on television that sound just like this. How are we to know that the scientific jargon that they throw into these commercials is accurate? These persuasion techniques seem to work, or else they would not sell any products. In the article, there was a woman who talked about wearing the insoles for seven weeks after having twisted her ankle, and now it has remarkable healed, with no pain while she walks. I have sprained my ankles many times, and the doctors there, always told me that it would take six to eight weeks to heal, so with this in mind, the woman’s foot would have been completely healed. People who have never sprained an ankle, or had another similar injury, would not know that this is the approximate healing time, so they would believe the woman, and probably think she is a reliable witness as to how well the insoles work. Keeping this in mind, we should not believe television commercials just because they might sound scientifically correct. Do some research or ask someone who knows before committing to buying a product that you are not sure about.…
