The Daily Show - Consequence-Free Speech
Stewart John during this podcast criticizes an NBA sports and political personnel. The structure itself comes from a network named “Comedy Central’. Compared to our podcast, The Daily Show had focused far more on criticisms. The main genres that the podcast focuses on is politics and comedy. The comedic touch towards the podcast was that he was able to keep audiences entertained by making a humorous atmosphere with jokes and mocking other people while we had focus on our topic more seriously as we had wanted to inform people about our views on an academic standard. I believe that Stewart John should have tried to criticized a variety of people with different political backgrounds rather than just people

The genres that can be associated with his podcast would be politics and educational which shares the same similarities genre wise with our podcast. Rather than trying to convince people to follow his political views, Dave tries to inform people about the current situation of politics while keeping the atmosphere quite serious. Our podcast also focused on trying to enable people to understand our political points rather than trying to convince people to follow our political agenda. The difference was that guests which provided a more diverse selection of information compared to him but overall we shared the most similarities with Dave’s podcast.
The Pilot episode certainly went out as planned as we were able to let our audience understand what the format of the podcasts will be like and what’s going to happen during each session. The series is intended to be viewed as a political and educational podcast that invites many guests from different backgrounds to enable people to understand from a variety among of

My high qualities of influence allowed me to make the group agree on the topic of freedom of speech as I talked about how it was astonishingly correlated to our modern-day society. To set a good example for my members, I would come towards our meetings ten minutes early to show my commitment towards the group. During the discussions, I would try to input my innovative ideas and how the podcast should be formatted. I also included the opportunity cost which are other alternatives that may be used in the podcast. I made a group setting enjoyable and was not willing to stand down and be “shy” or “embarrassed”. I truly showed them that I genuinely cared about our group hence “be creative”, ‘be smart”, ‘make friends’ and ‘have fun’ were my key

    While, Stewart’s unbiased and conservative way of writing was very enjoyable, his writing style was not perfect. It is understandable to expand on ideas but, the writing would often fall off topic. Stewart would often go off on tangents, and he would not always reroute back into the main topic. In the same sense, the writing would often jump around and leave you without a complete thought. He also had a knack for focusing on the Three Fifths Compromise, and Small State vs. Big State debate; this was likely due to his contact with law.…

    Hi, this is Charlotte, and here is my podcast on my understanding of the stylistic traits of Post-Modernism. For evidence I've chosen the short stories "Song" by Annabelle Lyon and "19 Knives" by Mark Anthony Jarman, along with the podcast "Everything is a Remix", done by Kirby Ferguson. So boiled down, I feel Post-Modernism pushes you to question your trust, both in the narrator and society. First of all, the writers tend to pick a storyline which does not revolve around order, nor come to a "happy ending". Also, the characters, or ideas, in Post-Modernist writing are often helpless, hard to like and/or go deprived of meaning.…

    Recently I watched the FX’s ‘The People v. O.J Simpson’, a set of documentary features detailing ‘the trial of the century’. It was whilst watching this series that the lead defense attorney grabbed my full attention. Robert Shapiro, speaking on the most high profile criminal case in history states, “I’m not worried about the truth, I’m worried about perception”. In a case built on conspiracy and aversion, truth became irrelevant in the eyes of those dictating history. Perception of the events, the prosecution and the defense as subjects of the media took center stage with race and conspiracy more prominent influences than fact in the jury’s verdict.…

    While reading chapter five, Fallacies of Argument, and chapter six, Rhetorical Analysis, there were key words that stood out to me that related to the podcast, Researchers Study Effects Of Social Media On Young Minds. Fallacies are argumentative moves flawed by their very nature or structure. There are fallacies of emotional argument, such as bandwagon appeals, which is when we urge people to follow the same path everyone else is taking. Continuing, fallacies of ethical arguments are important to think about when determining an argumentative writing piece; stacking the deck means that the person talking is showing only one side of the story, going with ethical arguments in writing. Rhetorical Analysis is the analyzing of how well the components…

    This advertisement supports pathos, ethos, and logos. For pathos, it first includes the picture of a baby which catches the readers eye and reminds them of the baby whose life will be affected by their decision. The second part of pathos includes words such as “plagues”, “diseases”, and “for generation”. It makes the reader realize the severity of their decision and how long the disease has been a problem. For ethos, it talks about being concerned about the side effect of immunizations and makes it sound like they also concerned about the side effects.…

    For most of my life, I was a person without a drive in life. I enjoyed only a few things but always got bored of them very quickly. I was quiet, introverted, and let most events such as issues, arguments, and stances pass over me without any impact. This was me for most of my life. However, things finally changed when I happened to stumble upon a channel on Youtube called Philip DeFranco.…

    When starting a group I introduce the group topic and myself, explain and hand out everything needed, and emphasized respect for others during the group, this is how I feel I created the sacred space. Stating some rules of respecting others, not saying negative things if someone is sharing something personal, offer support are a few rules that help create common ground. At Sheppard Pratt, it was important for adolescents to not feel alone and to have their feelings validated. So I frequently asked group members to share what they are working on in the hospital or, if they were comfortable with it, to share what brought them to the hospital; in doing this it helped others realize they are not alone and created common ground between peers. For example if a patient opened up in group that she self harms, this could really help someone else struggling with the same thoughts to go to her and ask what helps them cope with self injurious…

    When making false assumptions and accusations, he is not showing any type of responsibility as a reporter of the news by exploiting people and slandering them. He is also not having the correct attitude or respecting anyone when presenting these stories, because each time he speaks, he comes from a negative standpoint, and it’s never uplifting to anyone involved. Furthermore, equity and socially responsible can’t be applied either, because it is simply not fair for him to be able to slander people like he does and get away with it, and people are not being benefited from his actions, but rather they are being harmed. It would be different if he strived to educate his listeners by discussing the topics while respectfully listening to everyone’s…

    Yet, I ultimately learned that I was not just a facilitator, I was also part of the group, I trusted my peers and the feeling seemed reciprocal so there was nothing to fear. Essentially, I now feel ready to incorporate theory and feedback from my seminar group into three main areas of group facilitation: addressing silent members, summarizing main themes throughout the discussion, and exploring similarities between the members of a group to enhance universality and cohesiveness. Overall, I believe the discussion went well since it did not feel as if we, the co-facilitators, were leading the discussion, we were merely providing the members with the tools to enhance their self-efficacy as a group. While we presented the main themes, the group itself eventually elaborated their own focus as the discussion developed and they shared their experiences.…

Through Dr. Courtright’s course “Leadership in Organizations,” I became aware of mistakes I have made while leading and may continue building a quality leadership methodology. In this essay, I will identify my key leadership strengths and weaknesses.…

    Often times, it can feel awkward getting to know a group of strangers, and having a broad group discussion. However, due to the introductions that took place in the beginning stage, the entire group session felt incredibly comfortable. I made sure to get to know my peers and their experiences, and made sure they knew who their facilitator was as well. I often provided personal anecdotes to build upon the facilitation questions that I prepared, as sharing personal stories often helps me understand complex topics. I believe that the introduction of personal stories added another level of familiarity with the group members.…
