I completely agree with your opinions about Hochswender’s essay. When you state that ethos appeal was found in “I drive a large, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Does that mean I’m a bad person?” It is pretty sad that people think individuals are bad if they eat different things or do tasks differently than another individual. The slightest task that an individual does differently than other people will cause that individual to be judged, which is not right at all. People should just worry about…

Pg. 178- 192 • Polls have also been described as a tool to help support democratic values. o This is primarily because it allows politicians to evaluate public opinion upon their policies without having to wait until next Election Day. o However, many critics tend to counter this statement by pointing out that it influences our leaders a bit too much in their decision making. o For example, if polls had existed back then, such famous events like Louisiana o Purchase or ratification of the…

I have found through engaging in arguments with friends and in classes that a personal point comes across more clearly when you just present your point of view without condemning the other party.
