The Importance Of Chris Brown In Australia

Great Essays
We don’t want Chris Brown in Australia. Here’s why.
September 18, 2015September 18, 2015 Georgia Bell Chris Brown has just announced a string of tour dates across Australia and New Zealand. We’re questioning whether we – not as women or as Australians, but people in general – want this terrible human being in our backyard. Our immediate point of comparison is Tyler The Creator, whose Australian tour was cancelled, and was banned from entering the U.K , on the grounds that his music promotes and glorifies violence against women. While there may be some merit to this accusation, would we really let someone with a proven history of physical – not just lyrical – violence against women into the country?

    At the beginning of my journey through rhetorical analysis, I never imagined the amount of steps it would include. As I learned first about rhetoric itself, and then moved onto adding the elements of rhetoric into my own writing, I soon realized there was a complex web of the writing process that would I have to spin for each essay. The task of successfully writing essays based on the rhetorical analysis of well-known pieces of literature included many vital strategies and techniques that I personally had to implement and improve on along the way. Some steps were new, and some were review; but all were necessary for success. Through my comparing and contrasting essay on the speeches of Patrick Henry and Malcolm X Little, the steps I took to build a successful analysis outlined the learning and writing process taken through the elements of rhetoric.…

Swales also mentions “that discourse is a means of maintaining and extending the group's knowledge and of initiating new members into the group, and that discourse is epistemic…

    Journal Response The chapter “Helping Writers Think Rhetorically” by John C. Bean describes how important it is to have students thinking about their audience and purpose before starting to write their compositions. Bean explains how thinking about a targeted audience will give the writers a better idea about their audiences´ thinking before reading their papers and the expectations after having read their works. In the study, Bean comments that most of the times students mistake by thinking of their teacher as their only audience for their composition project. Therefore, Bean highlights the need to have students practicing writing to imaginary audiences in order to develop their skills to target different mindsets using different rhetorical…

    This essay will show how identities are fluid from the view of Nietzsche and Bauman. However, both believe in the fluidity of identity for very different reasons, which I believe is due to their contrasting time of writing. The issue of identity has been a prominent matter within philosophy since Plato and is more relevant than ever today with the rise of social media and current changing views that are moving towards populism and anti-establishment. My hypothesis is that Bauman is correct in his view of identity as he provides a very accurate account of how things are in the twenty-first century, based on factual social evidence. On the other hand, Nietzsche’s view can no longer be relevant today from his inconsistency and reliance on myth,…

    In Allan Johnson’s book The Forest and the Trees, he notions that in order to understand the concept of social life, we have to not only look at the individual, but also at the environment the individual is placed and how they interact and create social systems. Johnson explains that “a forest is simply a collection of individual trees, but it is more than that. It is also a collection of trees that exist in a particular relation to one another, and you cannot tell what that relation is by looking at the individual trees.” (Johnson 2014) By using the imagery of the forest and trees, he shows how social systems and people influence each other.…
