To support her point she uses personal and other’s personal experiences. An example of someone else's experience is when she recalled, “I know a gentleman, married for 25 years, who’s longing to hear his wife say, “Thank you for being the breadwinner, so I can stay home with the kids.” but won’t ask.” this supports her argument that it is important to ask for praise to strive in relationships. A personal example Dr. Laura includes, “ And I took my bike into the bike store.. They’d do something called “truing” the wheels. The guy said, “You know, when you true the wheels, it’s going to make the bike so much better.” I get the same bike back, and they’ve taken all the little wraps out of those same wheels I‘ve had for two and a half, years, and my bike is like new.” Supports her other point, that asking for praise and giving praise will make a significant difference.

Understanding the importance of audience to rhetoric, it is crucial to evaluate the role of audience in terms of writing. According to Ong, a speaker’s audience is different from writer’s audience. In reality, he opines that the term ‘audience’ is improper with reference to reading and writing. In Ong’s view ‘audience’ signifies a collective unit, whereas readers are not, since reading is an individualistic function. The printed information is processed at their own speed, time and interpreted differently by the readers. Whereas a speaker has the privilege to observe the audience, hence provides context to the situation. Here, Ong believes that words gain significance through context. The writer is faced with the challenge to fictionalize the audience. According to Ong, every type of audience can be fictionalized to a degree, including a speaker’s audience. He goes on explaining how letters and diaries demonstrate that all audiences are to some extent fictionalized. Ong concludes by drawing the example that in reality regardless of the relationships everyone wears a mask. Masks are very common and accepted in the reader/writer relationship, consequently the obligation for writers to fictionalize a role for readers, and for readers to acknowledge that role chosen by the
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

So, I always am into looking deeper into both of them. I decided, why not show do a hand writing analysis?
As the primary audience, the vet techs are Richard’s greatest flight risk. The current job market places vet techs in high demand making it easier for them to find other employment. With the loss of benefits, vet techs must use more of their disposable income to cover healthcare costs which may cause an adverse reaction to Richard’s decision. Richard needs to persuade this group to continue working at the hospital by strategically explaining the benefits of the cuts to the staff collectively. According to the rhetorical triangle, a person’s emotional state determines how well he/she receives a message (Rhetorical Triangle, Para 3, n.d.). The vet tech’s anticipated negative response to Richard’s decision may hinder their willingness to accept the change.
Communication has gone through many severe changes throughout history, from basic carvings, new forms of writing, and todays instant messaging. While the ways we communicate may have changed, they all have one connecting theme, the information they contain. This information can be obtained in different ways, from experience or education. Education, or lack thereof, is a main source of confusion when communicating information in todays’ modern society. Everyone’s an Author outlines several basic themes of rhetoric that would help modern society become better educated and communicate that information clearly.
Naylor’s audience is the committee and members of the audience, including his young son. Naylor is defending a controversial idea with controversial evidence and support, whether it goes against what he believes or not. Naylor’s own morality is called into question. Logos, pathos, Kairos, and ethos, the mainstays of rhetoric, can all be found throughout Naylor’s defense. Rhetorical fallacies can also be found throughout the sequence.
To have an impressive effect on the audience there must be rhetoric involved. The art of using language to convince someone of something is impressive, but not everyone could accomplish the task. For example, a better explanation requires better knowledge of the subject (Munz 125). When analyzing the letter, it is understood the mother cares for her daughter Kaylee. We can also see that she has knowledge of the information she is stating and she knows what her daughter is going through.
A speaker who doesn’t consider audience expectations about the purpose is likely to fail. It will not only fail to achieve the goal, but even cause a reaction. If the purpose is not clear, it is best not to give a presentation, let alone to consider other factors.
The psychology of winning an argument or getting the attention of the audience into believing one's message has been studied for a long time. The understanding of this issue has developed and this concept has improved over time, especially as the culture continues to evolve. Great speakers have learned the art of communication both verbally and through text, because when selling goods it can be used to convey important information or get the audience. The speakers in the three TED talk used outstanding presentation skills and presented fascinating arguments to allow them to communicate with the audience in attractive ways to ensure the success of the speech.
The audience is far more likely to believe a speaker that has obviously carefully researched his subject.
I have also learned about different types of audiences and speeches including persuasive, informative, entertaining and delivering special occasion speeches. It came to my attention that whenever I was making these presentations or speeches, I needed to do so with confidence, consistence and practice before the actual presentation and completely eliminate the element of panic. It was also clear that capturing the attention of the audience and engaging them in the whole process, it was necessary to have a very strong introduction and also try and use visuals to deliver the message. It was therefore vital to respect each person’s diversity and cultural values (Lucas, 2011).
Found within these articles are theories by Derek Thompson “What Jobs Will the Robots Take”, in Chad Jenkins, Alexandra Peseri’ s “Automation, Not Domination: How Robots Will Take Over Our World”, and in Farhad Manjoo’s “Will Robots Steal Your Job?” All seem to portray the same ideology in regards to the technological advancement the world is taking without even trying to foresee the outcome. Referring to technology advancements thriving at superseding a certain kind of occupations, this includes worker of average skills particularly in manufacturing and office administration is how Thompson has presented his article. Jenkins and Peseri advise the people should be asking about robots and other technology expressly those of future robotics and artificial intelligence technology (AIT) and their potential effects on society. Manjoo concludes as computers advance and become more language responsive and learn human problem‐solving skills, numbers of professions will be in jeopardy. Persons in danger consist of doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, scientists, and even creative professionals. The illustration, which commences from the rich montage of views contained in the articles, is one of watchful progression. Despite the fact virtues of technology, the potential pitfalls and the moral dilemma is equally staggering. Each refers to technology different in regards to identifying it as robotics, technology, or computers.
