Through the provided text it is apparent that while women felt they had control of their spouse’s, it is really all an act put on by the men, and in fact, women had no power over them. The document titled “ A Contemporary Commentary on the Sexes” is taken from a time in history when the effects of the reformation were setting in, and people were setting into their position in society. While a women may have seen that “His anger fades, he does not bite”, after she calms him, the man feels that if this is the case “ He is a fool who lets himself be taught by a women”. To further extend this, it can be seen that as women feel they have all the emotional control of the household, the men can easily transform into a violent beast again and would…
In America’s society, companies feed off of Americans’ gullibility. Americans make it extremely effortless for companies to take over their minds and persuade them to give in to any product or idea that they are selling. Whether they are selling pizza or selling the idea that smoking is wrong, corporations are most often successful in obtaining their desired outcome. Due to the increasing amount of motor-vehicle accidents caused by the usage of mobile devices, businesses selling these products have felt the need to let consumers know to use the products wisely. AT&T, a well-known phone company, is the epitome of this movement.…

Audi recently released an advertisement that shows consumers that they are better than their competition. In their new advertisement, “Audi Friendly Competition,” Audi uses slander, factual information, and relatable situations to show car buyers that Audi is a better luxury vehicle manufacturer than their long-time competitor BMW.…

Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
On the other hand Gus a speaker from Batyr asked us what does the phrase “be a man” or “men don’t cry” actually mean. This introduced a new topic where boys shouldn’t be ashamed of being humans because at the end of the day we all have issues in our lives that many aren’t open to talk about and struggle to share, so crying is what we are left doing but even something like that can bring males to shatter into a thousand pieces. They were always told to “man up” because apparently that’s not what boys do. Well if you feel down speak up because silence can kill. It takes guts to show pain, it takes a man to feel, it takes balls to cry.…
