    A Nation of Idiots Analysis

    A Nation of Idiots Analysis

    Moore offers evidence of public ignorance to support that America is a nation of idiots. He does this by stating, “Only 11 percent of the American public bothers to read a daily newspaper, beyond the funny pages or the used car ads” (Idiot Nation excerpt, Colombo, Cullen, Lisle, 129). This example is a good reflection of Moore’s attitude and style of grabbing the reader’s attention. He relates to the readers in simple terms, but always with a hint of sarcasm. I believe that calling America a “nation of idiots” is an effective way of getting us to listen. The way Moore sees it, schools have used various tactics to educate its students and politicians have used different forms of engaging the public, but the public is not interested. Moore states, “A nation that not only churns out illiterate students but goes out of its way to remain ignorant and stupid is a nation that should not be running this world – at least not until a majority of its citizens can locate Kosovo (or any other country it has bombed) on the map” (Idiot Nation excerpt, Colombo, Cullen, Lisle, 129). The potential problem with using this kind of rhetorical strategy in his writing is that the readers probably do not think of themselves as “idiots” and therefore will assume that Moore’s words do not apply to them and readers will tune out. Another problem is Moore will offend some of his audience and naturally these audience members will become defensive and…

    The State of Public Education System in the U.S.

    “Against school” is argumentative that tell us about how the public education system in capacitates, Gatto claims that the public education system causes children to become bored with themselves, to conform to the way of the school and it’s teachers, and it causes them to lack the ability to deal with issues that go on the real world, outside of school. Gatto’s explanation for this is that it is partially the teachers fault. The students become bored because the teacher is actually bored with teaching the subject. Students would be adamant to learn if they were given and education and not schooling. They need to be encouraged to have the qualities to succeed in life instead of sitting in a prison style that he believes that the student should be able to manage themselves.…
