persuade and manipulate their audience into their perspective of "the real" news. Hence, this is one of the best examples of a bad ethos and how ethos can be used in various different ways. Ethos, a Greek word explained and demonstrated by a Greek philosopher Aristotle, means to show credibility and honesty within ones work or argument. Thus, with the examples "The O 'Reilly Factor", as well as "The Arete Of Amusement...", it is shown how ethos can effect ones perspective as well as the audience. In the example of "The O 'Reilly Factor" , Bill O 'Reilly tries to cut off Jeremy Glick and argue against his opinions. However, with Jeremy Glick showing good ethos as well as information, facts and common sense, he soon begins to bring attention to the audience on how Bill O 'Reilly does not approve of him even thought he is credible. Hence, this leads to O 'Reilly stating "Shut up" various amount of times throughout the interview. Thus, this presents how Bill O 'Reilly is not credible, honest and does not have good information or facts to back up his argument, which leaves him without a choice but to cancel the show earlier. Moreover, this shows Fox news is biased and only…
country. Colbert makes homophobia seem single-minded, sexists look like Neanderthals, censorship childish, and Racists as outdated and unwanted as the United States’ Postal Service. As I stated earlier satire is a complicated form of comedy, as an example the Stephen Colbert you have likely seen today on the Colbert Report is not actually what the man is like off camera. Though I know from news interviews of Colbert being out of character that he is Catholic, from the South, but is not…

reinforced early in most girls ' development; studies have found that nearly half of females ages 6-8 have stated that they want to be slimmer” (Striegel-Moore & Franko). It’s quite saddening to see children think this way. Even I find myself constantly comparing my appearance to famous women or girls I see on instagram, in movies, etc. Most of the time it 's an unattainable dream of perfection. People will make up what they please to make themselves feel comfortable in their sexist opinions.…
The student government body is similar to that of the House of Representatives. Each person on the governing body gets to express their view points. Also like the House of Representatives, the student legislative body is overseen by an assembly or legislative chair. The legislative chair is responsible for setting an agenda to be discussed each week at the general body meetings. On the agenda, bills are up for vote and discussion. Usually, a member of the legislative body will propose a bill to…

While their opinions are to be respected, to simply state it, there is a better option that exists. Some believe that this bill implies that the “First Amendment should be treated ‘not as a right but as a privilege’” (Sigmon 1). What is false about this belief is that all legislation can be deemed unconstitutional if it is. The lawmakers of America want to protect citizens while respecting the rights granted to them in the Constitution. It is part of their job to use the Constitution as a…
process requires the president and congress to work together to create laws. Article 1 of the constitution states that “all legislative powers granted herein shall be vested in a congress of the united states” (Fisher 2007, 84). Congress is made up of two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate, both of these chambers share an equal role in creating legislation (Chamberlain 1946). The president also has an important role in creating legislation at the beginning of the process and…
recalling a certain portion of my speech at the time. To fix this error in my speech, I would improvise by bringing up my personal ideologies that were founded on libertarianism, but not all the students would approve with the libertarian policies. Furthermore, I will now move on to my persuasive and special speech, which were my decent speeches for this class. Throughout my persuasive speech, I would discuss about repealing the $15 Minimum Wage Bill from California’s legislator, considering…
“California equal pay bill may be toughest in nation” (Masunaga 2015). This article was written by Samantha Masunaga and published in the Los Angeles Times. The Los Angeles Times has been in circulation for more than 130 years and has won over 40 Pulitzer prizes. The paper has been accused of having a liberal bias, but I do not feel that it has any bearing on this particular story. Samantha Masunaga attended UC Berkley Graduate School of Journalism. Prior to joining the staff at the Los Angeles…
