Rhetorical Analysis Of An Argument

Rhetorical Analysis of an Argument Imagine a world where your gender defines who you are and who exactly you could become. Stereotypes about gender could be as simple as a person born male would become a construction worker or police officer and a person born female would become a school teacher or hair dresser. People are to fit into their gender stereotypes, and that was that. But, it is not the 1950s anymore. It is 2016, and in today’s world, gender is but a place on your lower body. People can identify as the opposite gender than they were born with, or identify as both genders, and even identify as no gender at all.

North Carolina is home to some of the best colleges in the United States and some of the most famous government wildlife parks and mountain ranges, the state used to be known for its beauty, but now it is known for its hard-right politics and hatred of certain groups of
