What does the nature of the communication reveal about the culture that produced it?

For your second writing project, you will analyze one of the six speeches using the rhetorical elements and appeals we will discuss during this sequence. This assignment will enable you to practice your critical reading skills and your ability to analyze a text. As you begin drafting this project, consider revisiting pages 8, 27-29 in our textbook, your short summary, and our discussion of ethos, pathos, and logos. Make sure you print out the text of the speech and annotate it carefully. Use examples from text of speech to illustrate your points. Continuously link the ideas in your body paragraphs to your thesis. Your final draft should be 3-4 pages in length.
You have two primary goals for this paper: 1.) Figure out what each writer is trying to accomplish. This is purely speculation on the writer’s aims, since you cannot get inside of the writer’s head. You have to base it on the product in front of you. 2.) Identify the writing tactics he or she is using to accomplish this. In other words, examine how each part works or doesn’t work to fulfill the writer’s purpose. In rhetorical analysis, you are mentally taking it apart.
Ultimately, you need to address how the writer’s choices affected you as a reader. 
 
As you analyze your text, be sure to consider the following conventions of rhetorical analysis:
• identify the central claim of the text and consider the author’s occasion for writing it
• locate and evaluate any uses of ethos, the emotional appeals (pathos), and the evidence and logic used in the text (logos)
• describe the context in which the text produced (when, where, what was going on in this country to bring about speech)
• describe the audience(s) (both the real and the ideal (This includes their demographics, values, personal and political interests.)
• address the ways in which this text (and its author) represents its subject, what it includes and excludes, and what the combined effect of these choices has on the purpose of the text
Consider the following steps as you construct your rhetorical analysis:
 
1. Select one of the six speeches that I have approved for this paper. <www.americanrhetoric.com/top100speechesall.html> 
2. Summarize the text. Offer readers a visual description of your text and/or examples of the author’s main ideas, supporting evidence, key terms, and other relevant information (tone, style, word choices).
 
3. As you prepare to analyze the text, look to your summary for help explaining the main ideas and organization of the text. Then, focus on its rhetorical effectiveness using the list above as a guide.
 
4. Absolutely, positively remember to cite and discuss examples from the text to illustrate and support your analysis. Do not assume that your reader is familiar with the text. Consider the ways the textbook demonstrates summary, 25, citations, 556-573.
Here are your choices: Reagan’s “Shuttle Challenger Disaster”, Malcolm X’s “Ballot or the Bullet”, MacArthur’s “Duty, Honor, Country”, Hillary Clinton’s “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”, Bill Clinton’s “Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Prayer”, OR Margaret Sanger’s “The Morality of Birth Control.”
 
Final draft due: See Syllabi. See sample below.

Generation Jobless Reflection.

Generation Jobless Reflection
There is a seismic shift to what higher education used to offer in the past and what it offers graduates today. Essentially, there is no provision or guarantee that one who has gone through the education system to University level are secured a stable job. Unfortunately, there is no solution to this and governments globally are turning a blind eye to this problem. Similarly, higher institutions of learning keep educating and releasing more graduates into the job market that is not willing to absorb them. As well, a substantial number of graduates leave school without the knowledge of how the job market is and how exactly they will maneuver in the harsh jobless society. Additionally, nobody provides transparent solutions to the problem and graduates today are forced to take jobs that they are highly unqualified for (MacDonald, 2015).
The main problem according to the documentary is that higher institutions of learning are training people for jobs of the past, and the training methods are not up to date. Therefore, when the graduate leaves school, they are high in debt and cannot get a job that will help service this loan. As such, the graduate lives a life that is much different from what they had initially anticipated during their study. A college graduate interviewed in the documentary claims that a degree in Canada today is not much; everybody has one and today it is similar to what a high school certificate was years ago. Despite this, it is necessary to note that though compared to a high school certificate, the tuition to acquire higher education has skyrocketed. Therefore, for the debt is higher as 60% of students in Canada have debt totaling to 27,000 Canadian dollars per individual. Additionally, baby boomers are retiring later than is required, and this leaves the fresh graduates jobless. Baby boomers are those who were born between 1946 and 1964.
There is still the misconception that parents use to encourage their students that in case they manage to get a University Degree and do what is right, the reward shall be a comfortable middle-class life. However, the reality is not the truth. The job market keeps changing, and technology helps employers to reduce the amount of labor they may require. As such, there are fewer jobs in the field and those who leave with degrees even in specialized areas such as engineering are forced to work in low-level jobs such as construction. Primarily, this is due to the problem of education inflation. This means that there are too many people with similar skills that have flooded the job market and cannot all get chances for employment (Lindskoog, 2015).
Evidently, such a case study warrants some scrutiny in one’s situation regarding the nature of joblessness. Essentially, there are factors that over the years have led to the current predicament, and it is essential to look into for solutions that are outside the realm of formal employment. By so doing, the graduate does not go through higher education with the misconstrued belief that the world owes them a job once they are through. In addition, career education prior to joining higher institutions of learning should be provided in order to give the student meaning out of what they intend to study. The results from this would be more partnerships with the industries related to the student’s area of study; there would also be an activation of students who are no utilized by the labor market as they are in school; the students, in form of internships, to get a feel for the job market (Blanchflower & Freeman, 200). Finally, the graduates would be better prepared for the job market and have a general or a rough idea of what to expect once they have left formal school. Alternatively, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the youth could postpone getting into the job market and remain in school in order to acquire more specialized skills.

 

Persuasive speech on “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” by John Berendt

Persuasive speech on “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” by John Berendt
The purpose of the speech is to persuade the audience and to inspire them on the claim that the murder of Danny Hansford is used by the writer to delve deep into the many characters that co-exist in the city of Savanna, Georgia. The book draws a wide range of characters who reside in the city.

“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” is an inspiring book described as an impressive work based in the city of Savanna, Georgia. The killing of Danny Hansford, a well know male prostitute, brings a twist in the lives of the quiet city dwellers. Throughout the prolonged trial that took eight years, the book introduces several characters who manage to charge the mood and theme of the book. The diverse personalities introduced successfully manage to bring new life and change the disposition of once dull town throughout the trial.
The author uses the ploy of the killing of Danny Hansford to explore and investigate the various personality traits that live in the city of Savanna. Through the various pages of the book, much attention is not given to the murder trial. The writer takes us back to the murder trial later in the book when the accused is acquitted.
The book, based on true-life events and real life experiences, makes a very good read and often described as a nonfiction book. For example reading through the characters of Luther Driggers who is in possession of a vial poison described as strong enough to kill the all the city dwellers, makes the reading fun and interesting. The book inspires readers to go deeper to get to know the different characters of the city of Savanna, Georgia. Why is the author starting the book with a murder case yet the trial of the murder does not occupy much of the book? The answer to this rhetorical question can be unearthed when the various characters of Savanna city take center stage. The author dwells so much on the personality of the residents of Savanna in such a way that a reader soon forgets the murder of Danny. Nevertheless, it could be an intentional aspect of the writer to start the book on a sensitive and captivating scenario then gets back to the ordinary tone of the main purpose of the book.
A reader needs to be open minded and flexible to be able to grasp the purpose of the authors writing without losing the focus and find the interesting parts of the book. In order to flow with the authors writing, a reader must be open to switching to the other side of the story line, that is from the murder scene to stories based on people’s lives, exposing their personality traits without losing the fun side of the story line. The book takes a reader from a high plain of high expectation to low level of story narration. Absence of suspense that comes with highly charged murder fiction novels lacks in this book making it a good read for literature fans.
Above all, the book is fun and interesting for any fan who appreciates reading and storytelling and comes in handy for history students who may wish to learn about Savanna city.

Liability of medical group practice

HAP 312-001 CASE STUDY : Liability of medical group practice, Luv2Heal.
Luv2Heal has treated pediatric cancer patients for 70 years, since World War II. This well-regarded medical group practice has recruited a very famous physician and her staff to enhance its patient care. Dr. KidFriendly, the group’s current President, welcomes the new recruit, Dr. Hippocrates, and her radiation therapist with a lavish dinner. As the evening progresses, Dr. KidFriendly promises to give his new star and their team “everything they will need” to save more kids’ lives and boost their spirits. Dr. Hippocrates beams. She replies that she and her colleagues are honored to join Luv2Heal. They pledge to faithfully follow Luv2Heal’s team concept of “kid care first and only.”
The first six months go well. More sick children and their families or other caregivers flock to Luv2Heal’s medical office building at a nationally known university. Dr. Hippocrates practices innovative methods of diagnosing and treating rare forms of cancer that plague youngsters. Her chief radiation therapist works smoothly with Dr. KidFriendly and Luv2Heal’s business manager to purchase the latest technology in cancer care. Quality of life increases, length of stay slowly decreases. The University receives prestigious accreditation in radiation oncology.
But one day, Luv2Heal’s senior “patient care associate” receives an unsigned letter. It charges Dr. Hippocrates, Therapist LowDose and the Luv2Heal group with over-radiating the letter-writer’s son. This patient, whom the associate desperately tries to remember, apparently suffered repeated overdoses of radiation at Luv2Heal’s center. The anonymous complainant and her mother claim they questioned LowDose and other therapists about odd symptoms and subtle red marks the boy showed. LowDose allegedly assured the patient’s family, “We heal kids – we don’t hurt them. Sometimes our treatment has to go to another level – it’s different from what didn’t help your son in the past. But Luv2Heal always stays within state and university radiation control limits. Our staff has state-of-the art training and experience. Trust us.”
Unconvinced, the anonymous parent has gone to an attorney for a second opinion. Now the attorney has sent Dr. KidFriendly and Dr. Hippocrates a terse e-mail: meet with my client and me, or we go to the press – and the courts. The notorious plaintiff’s lawyer says that five other patients have displayed similar problems after receiving radiation treatment from Dr. Hippocrates and Luv2Heal. Panicked, Dr. KidFriendly calls you, the University’s counsel, and begs you to meet him immediately. He says that Dr. Hippocrates can’t be reached and is concerned that she is not taking this complaint seriously. Worse, the University’s Dean of Medical Affairs requests that Luv2Heal stop accepting new patients and agree to be evaluated by an outside pediatric oncology “monitor.” Then, the state’s radiation control board executive director happens to call Luv2Heal. He asks to speak directly with Dr. KidFriendly about “certain reports that Luv2Heal may be taking patient care over the line.” State Man also advises that a state health department inspector will “visit” Luv2Heal center’s with other regulators – tomorrow.
You represent the University and must provide advice to its officials. But also think about the issues from the perspectives of anonymous, upset patients and their attorneys. Why do they claim overzealous and unsafe acts have happened at the hands of Dr. Hippocrates & Luv2Heal? Who and what has legal liability? What legal theories might apply? Discuss specific legal theories. Develop an action plan to defend the University against the legal and PR challenges.
must submit a 4-5 page case study report Cite to at least three sources (two have to be different from our Showalter casebook).
Think of an “action plan” as a “what to do” and “how to accomplish it.” Every group should produce and discuss in class for this study something like a “to-do list” with specific action items and metrics.

Write an analysis of Philip Zimbardo’s “Stanford Prison Experiment.”

Write an analysis of Philip Zimbardo’s “Stanford Prison Experiment.” The primary goal of this assignment is for you to develop a critical perspective on Zimbardo’s essay that utilizes an outside source which I uploaded, to help you develop your argument. A analysis doesn’t need to be a complete take-down of the text at hand, and on the other end of the spectrum, it also need to be full-scale showering of praise on the text. Instead, a good analysis engages specific aspects of the text in order to make a point about what you believe are the important issues in the text. Think of your outside source – Which I uploaded – as a way to help you articulate and reflect on the big picture – the larger issues and questions surrounding zimbardo’s study (for example, the nature of evil, or the relation between individual identity and role-playing, or the complex nature of authority and obedience, etc.) A good analysis will always address one or several of these larger issues. Use this big picture issues ( Which should be addressed by your thesis statement) as an organizational/structural principle for your essay. In other words, every point you make in the body of your paper should connect to develop what you are arguing in your thesis statement about the big picture. Your second source, must play a central role in helping you elaborate argument, and “MUST BE MENTIONED IN YOUR THESIS STATEMENT” * Read the zimbardo’s experiment and second source Disobedience as a psychological and moral problem, and utilize the second source to perfectly analysis Zimbardo’s Experiment
