“Communication is Intentional” page 3
I agree with the author “the strongest connection between communication and culture is language.” My first language is Farsi or Persian and I speak two other languages. As soon as people fill I have an accent they would ask me where you come from. There is always this boundary between me and native people. I’m not saying they are rude but they attitude changes as soon as they know where I’m coming from. I will always feel like and outsider and I don’t have any problem with that. It’s same in every culture I saw it in other counties as well. So I believe that langue can make difference in the way that people treat you.

Communication is Intentional” page 5
I don’t agree with the author “however communication doesn’t need to be face to face to be effective it can be maintained through a variety of media.” I believe verbal or face to face communication is much more effective than communication in social networks. It’s much easier to convince some one face to face than try to type it down. Even in the video calls we don’t transmit all the massages to the reviser. Because they don’t see our body movement.

It doesn’t matter what type of relationship it is. For example in a family with 2 kids women or the mother have more control in the conversations than anyone else in the house. People think that man have the more control but it’s wrong. Women is the one in the home that make the final decisions about the future. What should we eat, where should we go and what should we buy. It doesn’t matter what others really think. Another example is the group of friends. There is always that one person that decide what they going to do for rest of the day. So I believe there is always that one person that it’s in the

    Lastly, the final parts of the rhetorical situations are the constraints. The constraints in this article directly lay in the time period at which it was written. The second feminist wave had been occurring for at least a decade by the time Judy Brady had published this in Ms. Magazine. It would be another eight to nine years before computers were mass produced and sold to the public; meaning there was no public access to internet articles and therefore, one of the only ways her article could have been read would have been inside Ms. Magazine. Besides the magazine itself, she would read Why I Want a Woman at conventions and feminist rallies.…

    The article “Miscalculation on Visas Disrupts Lives of Highly Skilled Immigrants” (2015), by Julia Preston, states the State Department and Homeland Security allowed the department to give anticipating immigrants news of them being able to take the next step to obtain a green card. The author provides background information about the situation, along with reasons as to why the incident occurred, and its impact on immigrants. Preston attempts to inform about the episode and provide an explanation to the immigrants involved, through the use of rhetorical appeals. Preston establishes ethos before the article starts, as she is a reporter of a reputable newspaper, which gives her credibility. She starts off her article powerfully by providing context for those who are unaware of the situation; in the beginning of September, the State Department told thousands of highly skilled legal immigrants that they “would be able to advance early to the next step: filing a formal application.”…
