Animal Conservation Rhetorical Analysis

Improved Essays
This documentary was emotional to say the least. The relationship of the conservator with the crew that helps him and the animals is stunningly intricate and it is hard to even understand how they can leave these orangutans in the wild knowing the illegal burning and logging that is happening in Sumatra without even mentioning the pet trade and other dramatic reasons. I would be devastated to let an animal leave in a jungle soon to be palm oil plantation since I would care so much about the future and the welfare of the animal, but also the whole species and biodiversity present in these tropical forests. That’s why I want to take part in the conservation movement, but not being a conservationist since I would not be able to handle the different atrocities of the job. …show more content…
These traumas can range from being stunned by a hammer to getting burned alive due to the illegal burning of tropical forest in this area of the world to plant palm oil trees. To my mind it would be quite interesting to see and show what happens in these forests and how these animals are treated in order to show the horrible treatment of these individuals in order to use them as pets or to kill the mother to use their children as pets. I think a big part of conservation is the education of other people in order to gather more same minded person and grew a larger community. I know it might sadistic, but showing the horrors of what happens can make other people understand faster and wouldn’t need more information or explanation to take action. I believe this movie lacked a little bit of that

    Sharkwater Rhetorical Analysis Sharkwater is a 2006 documentary created by Rob Stewart, a young biologist and underwater photographer. Being passionate about the ocean and those who inhabit it, Stewart created his documentary with the intention of destroying the bad reputation that society and the media has put on sharks. Stewart also highlights in his documentary how humans have cruelly made sharks the prey and the enemy for decades. Ethos, pathos, and logos played a very important role in Sharkwater, and was strategically used throughout the documentary in order to persuade the audience that sharks aren’t the enemy, and shouldn’t be treated as such. Pathos, the appeal to one’s emotions, was heavily relied on throughout the documentary in…

    My rhetorical ecology’s primary goal is to articulate the many levels of statistical data surrounding gun control in the US. I start off the presentation with the Bill of Rights and immediately provide commentary from individuals who played a fundamental role in the foundation of the United States. Then, I state current gun control laws currently in place. From here on out, I expand on specific analytics: mass shootings, other deadlier killers, and total firearm violence. The audience this argument appeals to is people who react to gun control regulations after mass shootings occur.…

    Orangutans are somewhat solitary species but to some degree as also somewhat social. Flanged adult male orangutans are the most solitary of all orangutans with their participation in social activity limited to short sexual encounters with adults or sub adult females; however, there were none of these at the zoo. Male orangutans normally do not even play a role in the upbringing of their offspring. Females do associate with their offspring and they have a relationship that lasts for many years sometimes being carried by their mother until the age of five and even being breastfed until the age of eight; however, the young’s time spent with other orangutans is brief. Offspring typically remain close to their mother until ten years of age, and…

    “This is a beautiful example of the reality that conscious, awake and aware humans have always been here.” (Gardner) Mark Twain has placed everything very straight forward and clear way about what humans do to other humans. I think the major idea in this piece was telling people how these so-called lower animals can leave together when they are totally different species, but humans being the same species can not leave together or to help each other out just for the sake of doing it. Mark Twain uses a lot of rhetorical situations to compare humans to lower animals.…

    The Language of Activism: A Rhetorical Analysis on the Advertisement of Greenpeace Stressing the importance of media for social movements has long become a cliché now. Particularly in the contemporary society, where approximately three billion people worldwide have access to the Internet (Internet Live Stats, 2014), and 58 percent of adult Americans use social networking services (Duggan, Ellison, Lampe, Lenhart, & Madden, 2015), the effective utilization of media is the key to success of a campaign. Meticulously planned advertisements, images, press releases, and interviews help spread the word among the public, grow awareness of the issue, and inspire them to join the movement. Thus, adapting to the rapidly changing media environment and…

    Johnathan Foer in "Let Them Eat Dog" suggests that to solve hunger, individuals within society should eat the millions of dogs that are going to be euthanized in shelters. In Johnathan Swift 's argument, "A Modest Proposal", he suggests that Ireland combat the famine during that time by using the surplus of children as a food source. " Let Them Eat Dog" and "A Modest Proposal" are arguments written satirically to inform society of a historically long problem, indifference. Foer and Swift call upon society to recognize the problem, to move society to care about finding a solution, and to inform society of the inefficiency of instinctual thinking. These proposals were made because, they not only offer a solution to hunger, but do so in a quick, cost efficient manner.…

Designed to appeal to an audience of animal lovers, the two advertisements suggest that animal cruelty is hidden away in many aspects of our lives and aim to make the viewer take action. These two advertisements both convey their messages using short sentences, slogans and symbolism to make the viewer think about their own part in the problem and urge them to take action about the issue.…
