Effectiveness of the Rhetorical Devices Used in the Manjeet Kripalani and Cindy Kimbbe Articles

In this assignment there will be an analysis of the effectiveness of the rhetorical devices used in two of the articles in the assignment. First, I will address two of the rhetorical devices that were presented in “Ban Outsourcing? Bad Idea” by Manjeet Kripalani. Second, I will review the rhetorical devices that were presented in the article “Outsourcing: the good, the bad and the inevitable”, by Cindy Kibbe. The articles are both strong in opinion and detail with persuasive arguments; the analysis will review the validity, logic, accuracy, misleading statements, ambiguity, and credibility of each article. Ban Outsourcing? Bad Idea by Manjeet Kripalani Accomplished journalist, Manjeet Kripalani, in the article, “Ban Outsourcing?

Kripalani’s purpose is to provide readers a valid viewpoint of the positive impact on the economy in India. She generates a euphemistic approach on the communication to her readers that the United States politicians use this subject or their own gain. In the first statement, Kripalani utilized the rhetorical device of emotional association, “But U.S. politicians better watch out they don't invoke a backlash, India-style” (Kripalani, 2004). The emotional association is brought to the reader’s attention as she is from India, so her emotional attachment to the country is strong. The strong innuendo that is stated with the “backlash, Indian style” (Kripalani, 2004) is definitely a negative statement of something that is not directly explained in the article. It is not mentioned what the backlash would be if the United States d... ... middle of paper ... ... overseas. In Conclusion, there are positive and negative aspects of outsourcing. The large corporations will make their choices based on financial benefits for the company, not based on how this will in turn affect the local economy. In deed it is all about the bottom line.
