Rodger Ridley, Las Vegas, NV, United States He was one of the featured artists on this music video. Invention: The producers of this music video, the Playing for Change team, needed to find many different street musicians who knew the song, "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King. They had to contact some of them beforehand and fly over there to meet them. They also needed to understand the place and/or country. The team also needed to find the cost of each of his flights and also the cost of any equipment that would be very useful in capturing each artist effectively. Disposition: The team organized this music video in a very unique way. The video started with one artist and then moved on to another one and each artist it transitions to was in a different place and was singing a different part of the song. More towards the end of the music video, the video was edited to where it joined all the artists together, making the song flow as if it was one single song b...

In Gerard Jones's "Violent Media Is Good For Kids," Jones argues to why violent media is helpfull and important to kids. He gives many pieces of evidence from his and other's experiences as well as a statement from psycologist who works with young teens. He doesnt't refute it that well however but still makes strong convincing statements. From paragraph one through five, he talks about himself as a child and how violent media helped him come out of his shell. This is valid evidence as he, himself, has experienced the good that voilent media can do. Another piece of valid evidence he gives in paragraph 9 where he cites a report from Ph.D psycologist, Melanie Moore, claiming that children DO need the violent media. And in paragraph 10 he expands on what she studied and found. This makes his arguement stronger because it made it more credible, more believeable since he featured an actual psycologist who studied the subject. His next evidence comes from the expe...

Sarah Sanders: Sarah appeals a lot to ethos, some logos but very little of pathos. She displays a lot of ethos as she is already someone who works in the political field. Not only that but she talks very professionally and  she remains calms. She doesn't get caught up in some sort of an emotional uproar, so that means she doesn't display any pathos attributes. She doesn't display much logos either because she only states evidence SHE believes are facts, twisting them and putting a spin on them. Tomi Lahren: Tomi presents a strong pathos. She is clearly more emotional, upset, than Sanders. She even uses the fact that our "hard working" money was being used on the probe to get the audience to become angry like her. She is very opinionated and her argument was very informal so her ethos was weak. Mark Mazzetti: Mark however shows little to no pathos. He talks in a way where you wont be able to determine what his political stance is. He displays logos by b...

Thesis: In paragraph 1, in the last sentence, he states, "I believe higher education is broken." This is the thesis because it is debatable. Many people and vouch that higher education such as college or any school after high school is NOT broken and helps tremendously. Many people can also vouch that it IS broken and completely useless. Evidence: In paragraph 4, their first piece of evidence is a study that showed 36 percent of college students showed no improvement to critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing after the four years of college. A study the author pulled from the book, Academically Adrift. In paragraph 6, their next piece of evidence was how he talked about how "we" are the "free agent economy" which he pulled from A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel Pink. Refute: In paragraph 9, they talk about how some people do want a formal education but urges to consider an opportunity cost. Claiming becom...
