Emotion And Reasoned Argument

Decent Essays
I think this essay is an example of appeal to emotion and also a reasoned argument. It appeals to our emotions because the author talks about our privacy and how young people perceive privacy in a way that is opposite to the older generation. Turkle mentions how her grandmother taught her to be a good citizen and the importance of respecting other people mail. In the other hand, the essay has a reasoned argument because is based in facts. She comments about the government spying on the American citizens and the influence the internet has on many aspects of people lives. Turkle cited a comment made by an Internet guru at the Webby awards :”…citing Foucault …,accepted the idea that the Internet has fulfilled the dream of the panopticon and

    Writing a persuasive essay can be done in various ways. In Libby Hill’s essay “Calvin and Hobbes: The Voice of the Lonely Child”, she uses methods such as emotional appeal and testimony to connect to her readers. In Melissa Rubin’s essay, “Advertisements R Us”, she uses a very different approach as to how she persuades her reader. Rubin concentrates on logical appeal and historical facts to prove her claims. Both of these essays present reasonable arguments in different techniques as to what their claims are, how they display their evidence, and how they present the evidence to their readers, but Rubin’s essay is more persuasive because she presents a logical approach to argue her evidence.…

    According to Carol Travis’s clarification of Freud’s and his colleague Joseph Breuer’s studies in his Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, even though these two gurus of psychology identified the catharsis idea to aggression only, this is not persistent because our “ ‘reservoir’ idea contains all the emotions – jealousy, grief, resentment, as well as rage” (Carol 1983, 38) . Moreover, Carol argues that all ways of exoneration an emotion have the same therapeutic…

    In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…

While the rational mind derives from scientific reasoning and past experiences, the emotional mind emerges reactive and centers on bodily emotions. When effectively balanced, the rational and emotional minds create a sense of harmony, through making decisions that satisfy both the head and the heart. The amygdala, a key component of the emotional mind, “ is an almond shaped cluster of interconnected structures perched about the brainstem near the bottom of the limbic ring” (p14)…

Furthermore, reason is used differently across different areas of knowledge. Hence, it is important to look at reason and consider the extent in which it can be relied on in trying to make sense of the world.…
