Week 4 Discussion Forum

Question

Find a two-minute clip on any debate aired on the news in the last year.

  • Provide a link to the clip and address the following:
  • What is the context of the argument being made?
  • Identify at least two or three rhetorical devices used during this debate and explain their effect on the audience. Do you think the speakers use these intentionally? If so, for what purpose? If not, explain your reasoning.

In addition to your inital post, respond to at least two peers by checking their work. Were their explanations and examples clear and accurate? Identify any problems/errors in their logic or explain why you agree with their rationale. Make sure your responses are substantive and contribute extra to the discussion.
