    ...ssibly help more than harm. Experience has taught me that when a child walks in fear of expressing their feelings they bottle up all of their emotions; simply because they’re afraid of the consequences. Teaching children to appropriately use and appreciate violent media will help them build confidence, “power, and selfhood.” (Jones 287) He successfully executes the use of rhetorical methods and offers solutions to the opposing viewpoint. Jones’ consistent use logical and emotional appeal entices the reader and effectively persuades; this clearly substantiates his deserving of the top persuasiveness prize.

  • Transnational Social Movements, International Nongovernmental Organizations

    2182 Words  | 5 Pages

    The 1999 Seattle protests brought the apparent proliferation of anti-globalization grassroot sociopolitical movements into the limelight of the world stage. Transnational social movements (TSMs), international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), as well as the loose transnational activist networks (TANs) that contain them—all these came to be seen as an angry and no less potent backlash that's directed at the powerful states and increasingly towering economic IGOs such as the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank. In the field of international relations, some regard this as a prophetic watershed event that signals the weakening and perhaps even collapsing of the state-centric system of international relations, while many others insist that Seattle is but an eventually insignificant episode in the book of globalization and state power, as evidenced by the Doha success.

  • Teen Activist Research Paper

    Any people can become an activist. I always hear adults saying “You’re too young to be an activist” and all that other dumb stuff they say. Imagine if you’re best friend was shot at a school shooting. Would you not protest over your best friend being shot? This shows that you care for someone and want to CHANGE gun control or whatever happened that you are protesting. Protesting is when you don’t agree with what someone has done and you rally on the streets trying to change a law about what happened. Some sites that showed people about activist and people who were activists was How To Become An Activist (wikihow) and Malala(Time for Kids) .

  • Cesar Chavez Speech Ethos Pathos Logos

    916 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Chavez’s speech, he began it by talking about the different atrocities he’s witnessed and how they have affected him personally. “That dream, that vision, grew from my own experience with racism, with hope, with the desire to be treated fairly…” (17). This line helps gives him credibility by telling the audience that he has experienced this before and he knows the issues. He’s also able to empathize with supporters and connect with them about the mistreatment they’ve had. It was appropriate for this argument because it helped him say that he knows what must be fixed firsthand. Likewise, Yousafzai speaks of her experience with the Taliban and how it helps her too. “Dear Friends, on the 9th of October 2012, the Taliban shot men [and] my friends too. They thought the bullets would silence us. But they failed” (18). Once again, Malala can be considered credible here as she knows what has changed and what we need to stop terrorism with having person experience with it. This helps support her claim by showing that education should be first. This is appropriate for the argument because it helps remind the audience that she personally understands why we should have education. Although establishing credibility is useful, appealing to people is still very important and the best way to do that is by tapping into their

    ...om humble and non-violent to harsh and violent. It can also may lead to a person awareness of one’s environment and taking responsibility for one's actions which is what the world requires(Rosengren, 2000). Society is able to transition from the past to the future through real-time information on the present (Hiebert & Gibbons, 2000). Society therefore becomes a living organization, complete with a feedback loop provided by the media, well equipped to sense oncoming danger and learn from its mistakes in readiness for tomorrow (Preiss, 2007). However, caution needs to be put in place to prevent the youth and children from participating in actions they do not have a clue on but do them on the justifications of the actions watched over the media (Wells & Hakanen, 1997). Mass media will remain beautiful but when precautionary measures are not in place, it becomes ugly.
