assignments yet. It was one of the struggles I had because my work wasn’t always on time, and it would always bring my grades down. Procrastination was not helpful at all.

This was definitely one of the highlights of the semester because it was just too much. I mean, we talked about it for a long time, and it made my brain…

Explicitly, Trump’s tweet in its current arrangement appears to be a disjunctive/hypothetical syllogism hybrid: P1: We, as a country, either have borders or we don 't. C: If we don 't have borders, we don 't have a country. Being charitable and filling in implicit premises, Trump’s argument takes on the following format: P1: All countries have borders P2: Either America has borders or it does not have…

Each fallacy listed in chapter five rang instances in my head like a doorbell going off as guests arrive at a party. The kind I use most, even as I type this, is begging, but the one I observe most is jumping on the bandwagon. Yes, I plead for freedom and escape…

The question of whether journalists or private philanthropists have a greater responsibility to rhetorical ethics requires an examination…? David Oliver Relin and Greg Mortenson’s Three Cups of Tea demonstrates the power of a private philanthropist in using emotional appeals and embellishments of truth to convince the public into giving money to a charity—in this case, the Central Asia Institute (CAI).
