Kaernicke Rhetorical Analysis

Decent Essays
I oppose Kaepernick’s actions because I think no matter what it is you are in america, you should show some respect toward this United Nation. You choose to be here, did you not? If you’re going to be here, you ought to respect everything including the national anthem. Living in America is a right not a privilege. If you don’t respect our flag, national anthem or anything else, do not expect it from us in your own country… What do people not understand?? Normally you do things even if you do not want to. Have you ever heard the phrase “treat others how you want to be treated?” Well I have, and for example if I was to go to a whole new state or country, I would definitely respect everything. I would expect to see them if they came to my state

    No one is forcing him to stand during the anthem, but the NFL states that “players are encouraged” to do so (NFL.com). Some who support Kaepernick’s protest believe that one of the things The National Anthem stands for is our freedom, therefore it is his choice to decide whether to sit or stand. I acknowledge that it is Kaepernick’s right to decide whether or not he wants to support The National Anthem, but this is not enough of a reason to make his action justifiable. Just because something isn’t illegal, doesn’t mean that it is morally okay to do; an example of this situation is adultery. In around half of the states in The US it is not illegal to cheat on your husband or wife (Freep.com), but most of us would consider this action morally wrong.…

    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.”…

    Some believe he dishonored those who have fought and died for the freedom America has today. However, Kaepernick’s actions were appropriate because he embarked a peaceful protest. Kaepernick kneeling was a respectful act that was done quietly and showed his right to freedom of speech.
