Radley Balko was far more effective in swaying the audience through his expert use of relatable facts and statistics, notable and public figures and masterful manipulation of the audience’s emotional state to align them with his views. He used strong relatable facts to convey his stance on his topic to the readers of his article. His public and notable figures referenced brought not only a familiarity to his article, it brought credibility. The reader knew the people Balko referenced. Readers could identify with these people and could trust information referencing them to be true. In regards to emotions, the reader was left fearful of others making decisions directly impacting their lives, diet and eating habits. The audience was left angry that someone would interject themselves into something so personal as eating habits, aligned with Radley Balko and receptive to his suggestions. Radley Balko won this argument, hands…
UFO or NASA weather balloon? There is a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. It could be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation, usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a more simpler explanation, a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught on film. But over the next 100 days or so, you may simply be recording a NASA weather balloon. Since NASA has one hovering around the earth somewhere at an altitude in upwards of 100,000 feet.…

Source B is written by someone who has clearly not been educated very well as the letter is written in poor English. This makes the source more valuable as evidence for the attitudes towards Public Health and the dangers of an outbreak of disease in 1849 because it comes from someone who sounds more desperate. Whereas, Source C is written by an active local Poor Law Guardian a middle class man or above, and has been educated. Due to the tone being formal, desperation for the Public Health Act does not come through as clearly as Source B therefore it is not as valuable evidence for the attitudes towards Public Health and the dangers of an outbreak of disease in…

We can see that Miss Havisham cannot talk and communicate properly she can only communicate properly in her dreams only there can she be “fluent” but only in kissing which shows she only “talks” love. The enjambment of “love’s… hate” shows how easily love can change into hatred. The red balloon bursting shows her heart break. Red has traditionally been associated with courage and love in Western culture, but in China, red is the colour of happiness and good fortune. The RED balloon bursting shows her loving dieing and her good fortune dieing. The balloon can also symbolise her love leavening her flying away like a balloon fly’s away to the sky. Carol Ann Duffy uses the word “bang” as personification to make us visualise all he love dieing away…
The speaker defends his or her point by having back up information with someone who has more experience about a certain topic. “Sources are supposed to know more than most of us. So called experts” (Asking the right questions). In the article the author uses two sources as appeal to authority. First she uses the UCLA research team to prove that the evidence she’s giving to us the readers is valid since researchers studied and expiremnted on it. In the end, she also uses Yalda T. Uhls as well as The Children’s Digital Media Center quote to remind us about the data results. “You can’t learn non-verbal emotional cues from a screen in the way you can learn it from face-to-face communication,” (Why Access to Screens Is Lowering Kids’ Social…

Both papers it should be noted are based in cognitive psychology/theory. Relying heavily on scientific modeling and statistical evidence to use as evidence and draw conclusions from, in most all of the statistical models most of the data has been adjusted then sometime readjusted to accommodate multifactorial functions. Something one would not see with Freud, psychosocial studies, or classical conditioning, at least not to this degree and intricacy.…

Balloons possess the ability to retain bits of information and use it in communicating with others given the impression of knowledge and expertise which is a method of acquiring respect and admiration. Having said that, I do go through the torture and embarrassment of listening to a balloon in many group settings and the group reaction is constantly the same, where members of the group engage in distracting mannerisms such as fiddling with a pen or twirling of hair with eyes cast down while the balloon is oblivious to his…
